Love Contract

Chapter 214 I'm Out (Part One)

Mary came back after answering the phone. When she pushed the door open, she was surprised to see that all people in the ward were silent. She asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mommy, I want to marry Victor," Elissa said to Mary angrily, "but Dad wouldn't let me."

"No worries, honey. Mommy will let you marry Victor." Smiling, Mary held Elissa in her arms and kissed her on the cheek.

"Yeah! Mommy is the best!"

"Ha ha!"

"Oh, my silly daughter," said Lucas. "It's your mommy that Victor likes, not you. You still — "

Before Lucas could finish his words, William, who was lying on the bed, lifted his leg and kicked him on the buttock.

"Ouch! What are you doing?!" Lucas glared at him while William remained silent with a cold face.

"Alright, alright," said Mary while smiling. "You can play here. I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?" "Mommy, where are you going?"

All of them asked all at once.

"I'm going to work!" Mary answered them naturally. "I've been in the hospital for days, and the movie shooting is coming to an end. I have to get back to work."

"So Mommy is going to see Victor?" asked Elissa.

"Yes, I am."

"I want to go too! Let me go with you!" Elissa raised her hand high. "I haven't seen him for a long time!"

"No, you can't go. Mommy's working place is too dangerous." Mary shook her head and added, "Have you forgotten that your brother got hurt there last time?"

"Ah!" said Elissa disappointingly. "Well then."

"How about this, I'll ask Uncle Victor to come see you some other day." Mary comforted her Elissa while stroking her hair.

"I just got off work, I can drive you there," Lucas said with a shrug. "I'm going the same way anyway."

"Okay." Mary nodded and put down Elissa. She then turned to Alick and kissed her son on the cheek. "Mommy's leaving," she said. "Bye, Mommy!" Alick kissed his mommy back. "Hey, hey, hey!"

All of a sudden, roars came from the sickbed. While staring at Mary, William gritted his teeth and said with a little grievance, "Mary, have you forgotten about me?"

"What?" Mary turned around and said, "Oh, right! You're sick. I'll go find Aunt Amy or Hester to look after the two kids. Have a good rest."

"You!" William's face went red with fury. "You haven't even said goodbye to me or asked for my permission!"

"Permission for what?" asked Mary with a blank look.

"I haven't agreed to let you go!" William sat up quickly from the bed, walked up to Mary, and held her hand. "I haven't even recovered. How could you leave me alone? Isn't Director Jamie on the set? You don't have to go there in person, Mary. Please stay with me."

"Of course I do. I have to watch my movie filming by myself," said Mary seriously. "Don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" With his eyes wide open, William asked, "Why not tonight?"

"There is a night scene tonight. I have to stay up so I won't be able to come back until tomorrow. "Mommy, won't you come here tonight?" asked Alick.

"No, I won't," answered Mary. "Can you take Elissa to sleep with Grandma?"

"Okay." Alick nodded and added, "I'll miss you, Mommy."

"Good boy."

"I have a headache, Mary." William sat back on the bed in a fit of pique.

"Then I'll call a doctor." Mary crossed her arms and stared at him.

"I won't have dinner if you don't come back tonight!" William turned his head away and spoke threateningly.

"Dad, have a shame!" Hearing this, Elissa made a face and said, "Mommy said that a child who doesn't eat is not a good child!"

"Dad is not a kid anymore!" Alick corrected her. "But it's not right not to eat."

"Listen, William. You are not as good as your two children." Mary laughed.

"Mary, you..." William was so angry and frustrated because Mary did not budge at his pleas. That was why he changed his strategy and started playing cute. "You don't care about me anymore. You were so nervous when my finger was cut in the past!" "When did that happen?" The corners of Mary's mouth twitched. She thought that William was just kidding.

"Have you forgotten? I can't believe it!" William anxiously got off from his bed for the second time. He walked towards Mary and held her hand. "How could you forget our beautiful memories? No, you can't! My heart is broken!"

"Let go of me." Mary shook off his hand and said, "Then enjoy your beautiful memories, William. I'm afraid Director Jamie is anxiously waiting for me right now. I'm leaving! Bye!"

After saying that, she pulled Lucas and strode away, leaving William beating his chest and stamping his feet.

Mary had become a workaholic woman with a successful career. It was a fatal blow to him!

"We can see Mommy from here!" Alick shouted as he went on the balcony of the ward. He pointed at the direction of the hospital gate where Mary and Lucas could be seen from afar.

"I want to see Mommy too!" Elissa rushed over and put her little face and hands on the window glass. "Wow! Daddy Lucas's vehicle is so cool!"

William was still hurt from the scratches Mary had caused in his heart. From the bed, he walked to the window to join the two kids so they could watch Mary and Lucas downstairs together. Downstairs, Lucas stood in front of a Harley. He patted his motorcycle, and smiled brightly at Mary.

"Is this yours? I thought you would drive me to the set with a car!" Mary exclaimed. Looking at the black motorcycle, she was perplexed.

"Yes, it is." Lucas nodded and threw a helmet to her. "Catch!"

"Wow!" Mary barely caught the helmet. She asked, "Are you going to take me to the filming set using that?"

"Why? Can't I?" Lucas raised his eyebrow at her.

Mary shrugged and answered, "Of course you can. But... we are in the hospital now. Don't you think it would create a bad impact on your patients' family if you ride a motorcycle to work?"

"What do you mean?"

"This kind of motor," said Mary, touching the motorcycle, "It really doesn't seem to belong to a mature and steady doctor!"

"That's because you don't know me well. A man should be able to handle everything." Lucas proudly swayed his hair in the wind.

"Humph!"

"Don't worry. I'm good at it." Lucas smiled reassuringly and continued, "Put on your helmet. I'll take you to the set safely."

Mary's eyes lit up. The motor was so handsome. It must be fun to ride on it!

"Okay." Mary put the helmet on her head, but she could not fasten it well.

"Let me do it." Lucas sighed with a smile and adjusted her helmet for her.

"Thank you." Mary smiled back. With the corners of her mouth lifted, she looked more charming and attractive. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Looking at her, Lucas stopped what he was doing and his heart ached.

His love to Mary had been always plain. It was neither as deep as Barry's nor as passionate as William's. Lucas knew that in Mary's eyes, he was just a friend to her. Nothing more, nothing less. After four years of protection, was she still so far away from him? He felt that he was about to lose her. No, she was never his in the first place.

"Wow, is Mommy going to ride Daddy Lucas's motorcycle?" Elissa looked downstairs with admiration.

"It's so cool! Next time, I'll ask Daddy Lucas to take me for a ride!" Alick could not restrain his excitement either.

"Damn it! You brat!" Looking at the two people downstairs, William went crazy. It was obvious that Lucas was taking advantage of her!

"Are you done?" asked Mary.

"Oh!" Lucas came back to his senses at once and said, "Done."

"Let's go."

"Wait a minute," Lucas said with a sly smile. He pointed at a window of the in-patient department behind Mary. "Look at those three! What do they look like?"

"What?" Puzzled, Mary turned around and looked up. She saw a big figure and two small ones looking at them from the window in William's ward.

Mary burst into laughter.
