C5 The Tragedy Caused by the Small Lobsters

Looking at Keane's sickly smile, Jovie felt a little uncomfortable and helpless.

She got off the bed barefoot and walked in front of Keane. She hugged him and thought,

What a weird man! Why didn't he tell me that you're my real Son-in-law-to-be-husband?

Jovie secretly sighed. Her gaze met Keane's deep and obscure eyes.

"The room is too stuffy. I want to stay with you."

Keane did not respond to her. After a long while, he did not move at all. It was only when Prof. Lynwood, who was outside the door, urged him once again did Jovie realize that Keane's attention was on the pair of hands that was holding her waist.

His gaze was too hot, causing Jovie to suspect that he wanted to chop off her hands that were eating his tofu.

She subconsciously let go of his hand, and disappointment quickly flashed past Keane's eyes. He opened the door and was about to leave when a small, white hand grabbed his clothes.

"Keane, Keane, I'm so hungry. I want to go to the fridge and find something to eat. I promise to be by your side and never run away. I swear!"

As she spoke, Jovie raised three fingers and solemnly and sincerely swore.

Looking at Jovie's crystal clear and moist eyes, Keane wanted to give her his heart. How could he be willing to reject her? He extended his hand towards Jovie to show his attitude.

Jovie happily slapped her hand into Keane's slender palm. She held his hand tightly and followed him out.

Callan's eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he saw the two of them holding hands.

'What the hell is this 'Angelically girl' doing? Why did she suddenly change her attitude? Didn't she hate the Young Lord so much that he imprisoned her and broke up with Young Master Finneas? Since when did he treat the Young Lord so well? This is definitely a conspiracy!'

"Young Lord, your injuries are not light. You should be resting in bed. You should not be running around and working so hard. If you don't treat your life as your own life, we, as doctors, will not be able to save you."

As an expert professor in the medical field, the Loxley family had specially hired a doctor for Keane. Prof. Lynwood knew about Keane's physical condition the best.

With such a heavy injury and some old illnesses, if Keane continued to struggle like this, he would probably not live past the last three years.

"Change the dressing!"

Keane did not directly respond to Prof. Lynwood's warning. Instead, it was Jovie who was paying attention to Prof. Lynwood's words.

While Prof. Lynwood was changing the medicine for Keane, she kept asking Prof. Lynwood about Keane's health. Prof. Lynwood was a strict person, and Jovie knew that there were only a few minor illnesses.

After Prof. Lynwood changed the medicine for Keane and left, Keane accompanied Jovie to the fridge to look for food. Jovie did not want to eat the food cooked by Mrs. Watkins, the kitchen lady. Keane asked someone to bring back the snacks that Jovie often ate along the famous food street in Fernville.

"Keane, I want to eat ice cream."

Jovie sat on the sofa in the hall on the first floor, hugging a pillow and holding a remote control. Keane, who was sitting next to her, took some time to look at her and send the guards to buy her some food.

Jovie did not have many hobbies, and eating junk food was one of them. Keane, who had always hated junk food, thought that as long as she was happy, he would be willing to pamper her.

Keane swept his gaze across the bored Jovie once again. There was a hint of gloom and complicated emotions in his eyes. He knew very well that Jovie would be so close to him today because he wanted him to lower his guard and seize the opportunity to escape.

His girl was as smart as ever, but her gaze was always not very good. She would mistake others for him and even foolishly give him her heart.

What should he do?

Because the Loxley Manor was located in the outskirts of the city, it was not within the delivery range of the delivery company. The hard work of the guards was still the responsibility of the Loxley Manor. Due to the time limit given by Callan, the guards were practically racing against time to let the little grandaunt, Jovie, eat a few mouthfuls of fresh and hot food.

An hour later, all the guards returned. The things they brought back were also delivered to the table in an orderly manner, waiting for Jovie to enjoy them.

"Wow! So much! Are you going to eat with me?"

Just as she finished speaking, the last guard, who had just returned with the lobster from the food stall, also arrived in time. Jovie's eyes lit up and she ran to the guard, wanting to take the lobster from his hands.

The guard slightly raised his head and winked at Jovie. When he handed the lobster to her, he secretly put a note in her hand.

Jovie was stunned for a moment before she silently took the crayfish and glanced at Boris, who was disguised as a guard. She was very puzzled as to how he managed to sneak in.

Thinking about it, as Finneas' follower, it wasn't strange for him to sneak in.

Boris followed Finneas' instructions and handed the note to Jovie. He then planned to leave quietly.

He was just one step away from the door and was about to slip out of the hall safely.

Keane's magnetic low voice rang out, carrying the usual stern and cold aura of a commander.

"Wait!"

Keane closed the computer and placed it on the tea table. He put his hands in his pockets and his elegant smile was filled with gloom and danger.

"Callan, bring him back!"

Keane then went to Jovie's side and spread out his hands, waiting for her to hand over the things she had just obtained.

Jovie was dumbfounded. "Ah! Did that guy have eyes on the back of his head? How did he know that she had just received Boris's secret note?"

She handed the crayfish to Keane as if she had accepted her fate.

But it was useless.

Keane continued to wave his hands as he held the crayfish in his hand. Jovie bit his lip and glanced at him guiltily. In the end, he reluctantly handed the paper to him.

She had to at least let him know what was written on it. Even if he was angry, she would know the reason. It would be easier for her to coax him.

Under her curious gaze, Keane opened the paper. At that moment, his aura changed. It was strong and dangerous, full of aggression. It was more like a king of darkness, causing people to be afraid.

At this moment, he had a feeling of loneliness. It gave people a strong sense of distance, as if he was the only person in the world, and he was the king of the world, the tyrant of darkness.

This kind of man made Jovie afraid, but he was also moved and liked him.

Looking at the contents of the note, Keane suddenly smiled. His smile was twisted, like a blooming poppy, full of temptation and danger. It was extremely enchanting.

"Take Jovie back to his room!"

Hearing the cold and cruel tone, Jovie's heart skipped a beat.

'What the hell!' Jovie thought. 'She doesn't even know how to call me by my name anymore. It looks like I won't be able to coax her.'

Jovie subconsciously looked at Boris and used her eyes to send a message to him, hoping that he could take care of himself. She wondered what this dog Finneas had written inside that could make Keane so angry.

"Callan, bring theieber here."

Jovie was alarmed. She didn't care about protecting herself anymore. She broke free from the guard and grabbed Keane's arm to plead for mercy.

Boris was a good person, and he was loyal to his friends. He was also deceived by Finneas, the hypocrite. She had saved his life because he had helped her tie Finneas up.

"Keane, he's just a stupid messenger. He doesn't know anything. It's fine if I just hit him a few times, but can you not let theieber go?"

Jovie purposely slandered Boris and tried to please Keane, hoping that he would let Boris go.

"Jovie, don't beg him. You can kill him or cut his limbs. Anyway, my brother will definitely come and save me."

He was not afraid of a godlike opponent, but he was afraid of a pig-like teammate.

One had to know that Finneas was a taboo name in Keane's dictionary.

"Boris, shut up!"

Jovie's threatening gaze swept across Boris, who returned a look of displeasure, but he also shut his mouth obediently.

"I am currently friends with Finneas, and we have yet to develop further. If you let him go, I promise that I will never come back to Finneas."
