Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day

Chapter 2

In the two years since their marriage, Lucas had become increasingly busy. Madison often found herself alone at home, so she decided to pick up the skills her grandmother had taught her in the past and prepare to get a veterinary qualification. She wanted to find something to do, and she often practiced suturing with pigskin.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t gifted in this area and couldn’t even master the basics of suturing.

In the end, she realized that she didn’t enjoy it. What she loved was the blue sky overhead.

Just as the man was about to reach Madison, she heard Lucass voice coming from downstairs. “Madison?”

“Madison, where are you?”

Lucas?

He was back?

His voice grew closer, and Lucas was about to come up. If he saw her with this man, he would surely be angry and think she had betrayed him.

Even if they were going to part ways, Madison didn’t want Lucas to misunderstand her.

“Hide!” Madison grabbed the stranger’s clothes and tried to hide him.

But this room was where she occasionally practiced her suturing skills and didn’t have a large storage cabinet.

Ethan Grant originally wanted to hide, since he couldn’t go outside

However, it was clear that this woman was more worried than him.

Her anxious expression made Ethan Grant forget about his own pain for a moment. He teased her, “Why should I hide?”

“Please, I’m begging you!” Madison became more anxious.

Begging?

Ethan Grant noticed her desperate eyes and gently squeezed her hand with his injured hand.

Only then did Madison snap back to reality.

“What are you doing?” Lucas immediately noticed the man lying on the table.

The next moment, Ethan felt something slap against his face.

Madison had covered his face with a piece of pigskin that she used for practice and calmly answered, “I… I have a classmate who specially provided me with a fake corpse for practicing suturing. I forgot to tell you.”

“A fake corpse?” Lucas’s expression changed slightly. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

His gaze swept over the ‘fake corpse’ that still had blood on it. He didn’t know whether to believe this explanation or not.

Madison replied mechanically, “Yes, a fake corpse.”

Lucas made a motion to close the door. “Just hurry up. I have something to tell you.”

“Okay.”

The door closed.

Ethan, the ‘fake corpse,’ sat up and glanced at the bewildered But to him “Surgeon?”

Madison slowly turned to look at the unexpected guest beside her.

She had no idea how vulnerable she looked right now, with red eyes and a hoarse voice, appearing incredibly fragile.

When a business card was handed to him, Ethan almost couldn’t hold back.

What was even more surprising was the woman’s next sentence,” No, but I was originally planning to become a veterinarian. My skills are not great, but I can handle minor issues. If you need anything, you can contact me.”

What would a veterinarian have that was worth contacting?

Now, Madison was too worried to be wary of this stranger.

Because Lucas was probably going to say something, she could vaguely guess what it might be.

He was probably going to explain some follow-up matters.

Her heart was inching closer to the abyss.

down the cold table, her beautiful long hair brushing against skin, tears streaming down her face.

a soft and gentle voice, tinged with a nasal tone, she said, “Take atever you want and leave when you’re done resting. I won’t call the police. There are painkillers in the cabinet, feel free to look for them.”

“When you leave, remember to close the window. You don’t need to worry about the blood on the floor, I’ll clean it up.”

Who could have imagined that the mighty CEO of Mukino International would one day be given a series of orders like this?

Madison sat for a while, just to catch her breath, and then stood up and walked out.

After the woman left, Ethan gritted his teeth and forcefully dislocated his arm, using his bleeding hand for support.

“Creak-”

The pain made him break out in a cold sweat.

Ethan slowly moved his recovered arm and picked up the business card.

Madison?

Wasn’t that the name his sister had mentioned before, saying something about the most outstanding female pilot?

Not only that, but her face also seemed…

Downstairs.

Before Madison could walk over, Lucas pointed at her. “Go wash your face.”

Wash her face?

After going to the bathroom, Madison finally saw that her face was covered in dried blood from her nose to her chin.

She washed her face vigorously and returned. “What did you want to talk about?”

They sat face to face, with Lucas smoking.

Just the thought of Madison’s bloodied face made him feel

nauseous.

It was a pity that she had such good looks, but she didn’t have much talent. Compared to Sophia, who had just won the Best New Actress. award, Madison still had some way to go.

But at least Madison was obedient. She wouldn’t do anything he didn’t want her to do.

In fact, Lucas had considered that if things didn’t work out with Sophia, he would live a good life with Madison.

But now Sophia wasn’t doing well, and she was also pregnant with his child. He couldn’t just ignore her, not to mention he still had feelings for Sophia.

“Well, here’s the thing. Sophia hasn’t been feeling well lately, so I need to take care of her. Starting today, I won’t be staying at home. She will move in a couple of days, so within these three days, pack your things and find a new place to stay. Especially those syringes, make sure to dispose of them properly. If Sophia accidentally gets infected, it won’t be good.”

Lucas didn’t understand much about medicine, but he felt that those instruments were too sharp and dangerous.

But he was also a little curious.

We

ake corpses really so lifelike these days?

finished speaking, Madison felt that the wind blowing in from indow turned into knives.

e felt a surge of hatred in her eyes. “Okay.”

Lucas didn’t say anything more and stood up. “I have things to do. Rest early.”

He left with some simple clothes to change into, and he wouldn’t be

neming back.

Watching the closed door, Madison slowly curled up on the sofa, letting bitter tears cover her face.

“Wake up.”

If Madison hadn’t been a pilot before and had always had great courage, she might have been scared to death by the sudden voice.

She looked at the man who appeared. “You’re still here?”

The living room was brightly lit, allowing her to finally see this unexpected guest clearly.

Handsome.

But not like a good person.

These were the only two impressions Madison had of him.

Ethan stood next to the armrest of the sofa. “If not for the concern that you might not be able to explain it clearly, do you think I would still be here?”

“What do I need to explain?” Madison wiped away her tears. “Lucas may not be smart, but he wouldn’t suspect me of cheating with a fake corpse, right?”

Ethan held his breath for a moment. “I meant, what if he came back upstairs and didn’t see me? What kind of fake corpse can move on its own?”

It was really unfortunate that this woman would be bullied like this.

With her mindset, who wouldn’t bully her?

Madison was a little angry, but she seemed pitiable with that expression. “Well, thank you. You can leave now, right?”
