Chapter 574: 574

“Oh god Ethan . . . ” Upset, Lexi heavily sighed as she shook her head .

“I’m fine, my love . I didn’t even get a scratch . ” After calming her down, Ethan Lu chuckled as he tried to humor her to ease her mind .

“I know but — oh my god, get admitted and have a full body check . ” It was not that Lexi wasn’t trying to understand his nonchalance, but as a wife, she could not help it .

The airplane crash the other week was still fresh in her mind . Therefore, this another mild accident had a powerful impact on her .

“Love . . . ” As Ethan Lu was about to argue, he heard a muffled sniff from the other end of the line . “Love? Are you crying, baby?” He asked, his brows furrowed as a worried glint flashed across his dark eyes .

“Love . . . ” After a minute of hearing her sniffs, Ethan Lu’s voice softened as his heart melted . God knows he wanted to teleport on her side and give her a hug .

Ethan Lu felt sorry for his wife . He didn’t want to worry her every single day . He wanted to give her a peaceful life, but the circumstances seemed to contradict his wishes .

Perhaps Churu was right . These problems that were popping one after another, maybe it was to test how he deal with every dilemma . And now that the general minor problems stopped occurring, extreme life-threatening began to occur .

“I’m sorry . . . ” Biting his lower lip, a deep sigh escaped from his nose . He could say other comforting words, but somehow, Ethan Lu felt that apologizing was what he needed to say . “I know it’s very messy right now but love, I’m trying . ” Sounding dejected and tired, Ethan Lu massaged his forehead .

“I know . . . it’s just that — I don’t know . ” Lexi’s voice was shaky, it cracked throughout her sentence as she was obviously pushing herself to speak . “Ethan, I don’t want to lose you . It’s just that every time, there’s always a reason for me to worry about you . ” Lexi wiped her tears as she ranted once again .

The situation made her emotional . If the problem was just like Laurel Wang, Lexi wouldn’t mind if she has to deal with hundred more women that wanted to covet her husband .

However, Ethan Lu’s situation was on a whole different level . It was as if her husband was walking on a thin ice; one wrong step, he might fall and get drown to death in piercingly cold water .

“I know, I’m sorry . ” Ethan Lu responded, still bearing an apologetic frown . “I know my sorry is not enough but love, I’m trying to fix everything . It might not happen now, but I know my efforts will pay off later . ” Ethan Lu stated sincerely .

“So please, hang on okay? Please, my love?” Ethan Lu somehow felt ashamed at himself . Although Lexi knew that entering the Lu family would be problematic, she never truly reckoned that they would pull extreme schemes that has an intent to kill him .

“Ethan, don’t let the twins grow up without a father . So, please, be vigilant and careful . ” Lexi sighed as her tears finally stopped from falling . She was just venting her built-up frustrations that accumulated inside her .

“Mhmm . . . ” Humming a tune, Ethan Lu nodded as he raised his gaze to Lyrick Jiang and the authorities doing their duties . “I have Chacha, remember?” He reminded which somehow made Lexi calm down .

“I know . . . ”

“Don’t worry anymore . I’ll be fine and will always go home to you and the twins . I love you . ” Seeing that Lyrick Jiang was jogging in his direction, Ethan Lu smiled as these words were his motivation to stay alive .

“I love you too . . . ” Lexi responded softly . The two continued to exchange reminders until they bid their farewell with great reluctance .

As soon as Ethan Lu placed his phone down, he raised his brows gesturing Lyrick Jiang to speak .

“Master, I receive a call from Chacha . She caught the rider of the motorcycle bike — our team are now on the way to her location . ” Although Lyrick Jiang was surprised when Churu called him, he didn’t waste a second and sent his team while the police followed to the said location .

However, the curiosity remained: how did Churu caught the person?

“I see . . . ” Glancing at Lyrick Jiang’s curious eyes, Ethan Lu decided not to explain at the moment . The situation was already a mess . Therefore, explaining that Churu was actually a fallen angel with superhuman strength would only add more confusion .

[BEAUTY DR: CEO OFFICE]

When Lexi placed down the phone, another heavy exhale escaped her mouth . She would be lying if she said she was completely coaxed despite knowing that Churu was on her husband’s side . She just couldn’t .

Just then, she heard a knock from outside her office, which made her turn her gaze to the door . Slowly, the door opened and an unfamiliar face entered — it was Nico Zhuang’s temporary replacement .

“Madam, someone was looking for you . Her name is Victoria Tang . ” He informed which made Lexi nodded her head .

“Let her in . ” Lexi commanded, which was executed properly . It took several minutes for Victoria Tang to arrive as she was waiting in the lobby when Lexi approved her visit .

When Victoria Tang arrived inside the CEO’s office, she saw Lexi standing in front of the corner desk as she prepared tea .

“Vic,” sensing the woman’s presence, Lexi turned her head behind and smiled . She gestured for her to take a seat as Lexi placed the two cups of tea on the tray .

“I’m sorry to bother you . ” Meek and soft, Victoria Tang apologized in advance as she perched on the long sofa .

“Bother me? Oh no, dear . You’re not bothering anyone . It should be me who’s apologizing for not visiting you and Vinvin more often . ” Shaking her head, Lexi served her the cup of tea before she perched on the head seat .

Placing her leg over the other, Lexi smiled as she set her eyes on Victoria Tang’s gorgeous yet seemingly tired profile . “What happen?” After sizing her up for several seconds, Lexi knitted her brows as she sensed something was wrong .

Not just that but also, Lexi notice that she has a bruise on her shoulder . Although Victoria Tang’s top should cover it, Lexi had a glimpse of it when Victoria Tang reached for the tea .

“Did Lou hurt you?” Not beating around the bush, Lexi asked, which made Victoria Tang’s hands tremble as she slightly flinched by the question .
