Chapter 1397


    ''What would he do if he knew it was a scam?''


    "Uh...It’s getting stuffy in here. I''m going out for some air." As soon as Brad saw his mothering,


    he winked at her secretly, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed to leave.


    Luke stood up to follow.


    Brad pointed to the next ward, "Daddy, I''m going to spend some time alone with a friend in the next


    room. Wait here. I''ll be right back. Okay?"


    Brad had no qualms when he lied, "He had lost all his hair. He thinks he looks ugly. If people see


    him like this, he will cry."


    Hearing this, Luke frowned and did not follow.


    He knew Brad would be happy to have friends ying with him at times like this.


    Then Brad moved towards the door. When he closed the door, he mouthed his mother, "Go ahead!"


    Brad had done his part. The rest was up to his mom!


    Luke took out his phone and called the Athana hospital again, "Where are you? You haven''t left


    yet? What are you waiting for? Listen, if you can''t arrive here on time, you’ll be fired!"


    Luke''s face clouded over with anger, and Eileen was flustered.


    Secondster, Eileen stepped forward and snatched Luke''s phone.


    Luke stared at her, and his re was

    Eileen met his eyes, "I lied. Brad is healthy and not sick at all. I did it to get you back."


    Luke said icily, "What do you mean?"


    "Brad didn''t get sick, and he didn''t have a heart attack. I lied to you. I''ve got things to say to you."


    "That was all a lie?" Luke’s tempers began to fray, "Good on you!"


    Eileen said nothing.


    "Humph! Are you gonna tell me you’re getting married?"


    Luke gave a brittleugh. There was a coldness in him that chilled Eileen.


    "Do you think I''m not angry enough and want to piss me off? Or just to remind me of your wedding


    present?"


    Eileen shook her head and said emphatically, "I just wanted to tell you that Ruben and I are not


    engaged. And Brad needs you..."


    Luke’s heart was thumping wildly, but he didn''t let his face show any emotion, "Is your fever so bad


    that you''re delirious?"


    "I don’t have a fever. I''m sober. I''m not kidding!"


    Eileen began to exin, "My engagement to Ruben was fake. He asked me to pretend to be


    engaged to him to reassure his ailing father, and I said yes."


    She had been so determined before, so Luke didn''t believe her at all.


    "Do you expect me to believe that?"
