Accidenttal One Night Stand with My Aloof Uncle-Chapter 619 - 629: Our Past Carries Wounds 9

"The human heart has expectations and hopes, which also means it can experience despair." Chloe Grant shook her head, reached out, and wiped away the tears from her face.

"You’ve always felt that everything should be left to you. Just like before, you did so much for me but said nothing. In the end, I thought it was all done by Lucas Morgan.

In the past, when you didn’t speak, I got it wrong.

Now, if you don’t speak, I will leave."

Chloe took a deep breath and then walked toward Jacob Lee.

She painstakingly helped Jacob Lee to his feet.

Turning back to glance at Matthew Morgan, she finally took Jacob Lee with her, got into the car Chloe drove to work.

She placed Jacob Lee in the passenger seat.

And just as Chloe was about to return to the driver’s seat, Matthew Morgan turned around and grabbed her wrist.

"I need to take him to the hospital. If his hand is ruined, that means I..."

"Lucas Morgan will take care of it. You don’t need to worry about this."

Matthew Morgan said directly, then pulled Chloe Grant towards the house.

Just as they reached the doorway, they saw Lucas Morgan walking slowly, his expression somewhat odd.

Matthew Morgan reached out and threw the gun in his hand to Lucas Morgan.

He continued to drag Chloe Grant inside the house.

Lucas Morgan looked at the gun in his hand, sighed deeply, "This is the first time I’ve seen Grandpa Morgan so out of sorts."

He turned back and walked towards Jacob Lee.

The car window was open, so Lucas Morgan leisurely walked to Jacob Lee’s side, reached out, and patted his injured arm.

"Kid, if it weren’t for Chloe Grant today, that shot would probably have hit your head directly. It’s like you just met Matthew Morgan for the first time. You dare to target his precious one."

Lucas Morgan sneered as he slowly walked to the driver’s seat.

Getting into the car, he turned his head and gave Jacob Lee a crooked grin, "Did you think that because you’ve been making tentative advances toward Chloe Grant and Matthew Morgan didn’t strongly oppose or act out, you could cross the line a bit more?

If I were you, the moment I got close to Chloe Grant and noticed Matthew Morgan nearby, without him saying anything, I would’ve wisely backed off.

Instead of pushing your luck."

While speaking, Lucas Morgan pulled a cigarette from his pocket, threw it into his mouth, and finally lowered his head to light it.

"Can you give me one too?" Jacob Lee moved his shoulder, coughed painfully.

Clearly, his wound hurt a lot, and cold sweat continuously broke out.

Even speaking was a struggle.

Lucas Morgan, who was driving, raised his eyes to glance at him, then directly shoved the cigarette from his own mouth into Jacob Lee’s.

Roughly, Jacob Lee coughed several more times.

Lucas Morgan, however, laughed heartily.

"If Thea Yates saw you in this sorry state, she’d probably leave you without a second thought!" Lucas Morgan said boldly.

And Jacob Lee, who had been silent, enduring and maintaining a calm expression even when abused by Matthew Morgan, suddenly changed his face!

...

At this moment, Matthew Morgan dragged Chloe Grant indoors, all the way to the room, and locked the door.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Chloe Grant stared at him and asked.

Matthew Morgan turned to look at her, "I just want you to obediently wait for me. I said I would handle things."

"Alright." Chloe Grant suddenly said straightforwardly.

Her straightforwardness caught even Matthew Morgan off guard for a moment.

He didn’t even have the chance to say his well-prepared speech from earlier.

Chloe Grant’s response was too quick and too decisive.
