Reese was already inclined to believe most of it, but she was still talking tough. "He's not a deity, how could he
have known all these things and the
consequences that would result? unless you think that Ella's pregnancy and miscarriage, and her being violated,
was also his doing." She said.
Reese almost instinctively defends Lukas.
Even in the light of the possibility that Lukas Strakovski is indeed involved with all of this, she was still leaning
toward Lukas in front of Anthony.
Anthony sighed helplessly, "This is where | think he's great, those three people ended up in a tragic situation,
however, Lukas didn't do anything illegal., Ella's matter was Alexa's doing, and given Alexa's current situation,
she deserved it. Reese, what I'm saying is that Lukas is truly terrifying, and you'd better keep your distance from
him!"
Upon hearing this, Ava subconsciously glanced at Reese.
Reese pursed her lips and looked at Anthony: "Dr. Rivers, these things are just your guesses. You can't convict
someone based on one-sided claims." She exclaimed.
Anthony could see that Reese was unwilling to believe his words.
He smiled bitterly. "Well, this is just my suggestion. What you decide to do depends on what you truly think.
Speaking frankly, in the eyes of doctors like us, there's no clear distinction between good and bad people. We're
here to save lives and help the injured, even if it's for the most heinous murderers." He said.
Anthony stared at Reese. "If he gets injured in prison, we'll do our best to save him. If someone truly commits a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcrime, the law will punish them. Even though I lack evidence, it's completely impossible for Lukas to be
disassociated from this. I'm only saying all this today because | see you as a friend." He added.
Reese glanced at Anthony and said, "Dr. Rivers, you are a good person."
Anthony laughed bitterly. He didn't expect that after all his investigations, Reese would still consider him a good
person.
The things that Reese encountered today were just a little too much, and her heart was a little overwhelmed.
She said to Anthony, "Dr. Rivers, it's getting late, Ava and | will leave now, so | won't bother you."
Anthony looked at Reese with a complicated expression and nodded.
As soon as they were out of the doctor's office, Ava looked at Reese. "Do you really believe that these things
have nothing to do with Lukas?" She asked.
Reese's expression couldn't be seen as any emotion. "Whether it has anything to do with it or not, | can't
distance myself from him now. After all, we're still registered under the shousehold." She said.
She paused and looked at Ava. "Moreover, Anthony's statements are all based on his speculations. What's more,
is that the things he found out about him don't amount enough to any criminal behavior. Lukas hasn't committed
murder or any illegal acts." She added.
Ava's cool face remained devoid of much expression. "I respect your decision. If you believe in him, that's fine."
She said.
At this time, Martins's voice rang out in the hallway. "Ms. Roberts..."
Reese raised her eyes to look and saw Lukas, his face expressionless as he walked together with Martins.
When Lukas saw the wound on Reese's forehead, he walked over with large strides.
He stood in front of Reese, appearing composed without a trace of the panic from before. "You had an accident.
Why didn't you call me?" He asked.
Reese pressed her lips together, "I left my phone in the car. The car was rear- ended and the towing company
took it away." She said.
Lukas looked at her. "Did you get a thorough check-up?" He asked again.
Reese nodded. "Yes, | did."
"Then let's go home." Lukas was remarkably calm as if nothing had happened.
Ava thought of the words Anthony had said and glanced at Lukas with a complicated expression.
If this man was really what Anthony said, then Reese might end up completely consumed by him.
Reese was about to lift her foot to leave with Lukas when she suddenly glanced at Martins. "Assistant Parker,
what happened to your eyes?" She spoke in a surprised tone as she saw Lukas's assistant with red eyes,
Martins immediately turned his head somewhat uncomfortably, not daring to look at Reese: "Ms. Roberts, it's
nothing, my eyes are just a bit uncomfortable."
Earlier, when he and Lukas thought something had happened to Reese while they were standing at the entrance
of the operating room, his eyes turned red out of concern for her well-being.
Once his eyes turned red, and it was hard to recover in a short time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Unexpectedly, this would still be seen by Reese.
Reese was still slightly worried, "Assistant Parker, don't be embarrassed. Did something happen?"
Martins glanced at Reese, seeing her genuine concern, he was planning to tell the truth. "Just now, Mr. Strakovski
and | thought that —"
Lukas's face darkened as he interrupted him. "Martins, you can get off work now." He said.
Reese looked at Martins curiously, "What did you both think?" She asked, ignoring what Lukas had just said.
Lukas's expression was serious as he stared at Martins.
Martins looked at Reese and then at Lukas and opened his mouth, "Mr. Strakovski..."
He had wanted to tell Reese that Lukas was really quite concerned about her, but
his own Mr. Strakovski didn't seem to want him to say anything at all.
"You're still not leaving? Are you waiting forto send you off?" Lukas looked uneasy and his tone was
indifferent as he spoke.
Martins gulped, "All right then, I'll leave."
Once Martins left, the atmosphere was weird.
Reese tugged Ava's hand and was about to leave with Lukas when the door to the doctor's office suddenly
opened.
"Oh, Reese! You're still here?" Anthony exclaimed, surprised. He didn't expect that Reese hadn't left yet.
Hearing the voice, Reese and Lukas turned around at the stime.
The moment Anthony saw Lukas, his expression changed slightly.
