Chapter 714


    Lucas’ expression instantly turned sharp and serious. “The nurses stole my blood sample?”


    Edmund nodded. “Yes. I think this is a really serious matter so I’ve already arranged for our men to


    escort those two nurses back to New Capital City.”


    Lucas stood up and straightened up his suit. “Where are they now?”

    “They’re kept under watch in the basement.”


    “Bring me there now!”


    “Yes, Mister Lucas!”


    In the basement.


    Although it was called the “basement”, it was nheless very richly decorated with all the furniture


    one would need to livefortably. The only drawback was it was too cold down there so the Riveras


    rarely went down there.


    At that moment, the two nurses were locked up in one of the rooms. They were shivering, crying, and


    hugging each other since no one bothered to exin to them what was going on. One of them was on


    the verge of having a breakdown when suddenly she plucked up the courage to kneel in front of the


    two bodyguards watching over them.


    “Please, Sir. I’m just a poor girl who came from a poor family. There’s no money to be gained. from


    kidnapping me so please let me go. I swear I won’t report this to the police if you just let. me go,” she


    pleaded.


    The other nurse also knelt down in front of the bodyguards and said, “I alsoe from a poor family. In


    fact, my father had to borrow money from our rtives to pay for my school fees and till now, we


    haven’t even cleared the debt. So you see, Sir… there’s really no use in kidnapping us two… Won’t


    you please find it in your heart to let us go?”


    The bodyguards were trained to remain unmoved by any sort of begging. In fact, they did not even


    spare them a nce, no matter how they cried and pleaded. Suddenly, sounds of footsteps could be


    hearding from outside the door and not long after, the door swung open.


    Edmund proceeded to enter and flicked his chin at the bodyguards to signal them to leave the room.


    The bodyguards immediately nodded and backed out of the room respectfully. The two nurses thought


    Edmund was the mastermind behind the kidnapping and they immediately backed away in fear,


    wrapped their trembling arms around each other, and looked at Edmund.


    Ignoring them, Edmund pulled a chair to the middle of the room before going out to ask Lucas toe


    in. Lucas walked in slowly and threw a cold, sharp nce at both of the nurses, which was enough to


    send them crying and shaking again.


    The two nurses immediately recognized Lucas. How could they not when he was the most handsome


    man she had evere across in her life? They began to whisper amongst themselves.


    “It’s him! The handsome man who came to donate his blood at the hospital that day.”


    “So he’s the mastermind behind our kidnapping? Why would he do such a thing like this?”


    “Do you think he brought us here to be his s*x ves?”


    “What the h*ll? Is that all you could think about at a time like this? Aren’t you afraid that we might end


    up dead at all?”


    “Well, what else could it be? I mean… I don’t remember ever crossing him.”


    Lucas sat down gracefully on the chair and epted the coffee Edmund passed him. He took a sip


    before saying, “What are the two of you talking about? Why don’t you speak up so that I can join in the


    conversation?”


    The nurses found Lucas to be less intimidating than Edmund so they decided to say what was on their


    mind. “Mister Lucas, we remember you. You came to our hospital to donate your blood not long ago so


    it should be safe to think that you’re a good person who wouldn’t hurt the innocent, right?”
