It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 176

Lucia repeated the same life every day. She never said a word, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her. If others didn’t know her before, they would really think she was stupid. When the people in the villa saw Lucia, they sometimes even felt that she was so illusory that she might disappear one day.

However, Lucia mechanically ate the nutritious food prepared by the servants. She didn’t have as severe a pregnancy reaction as ordinary pregnant women. Life was peaceful for her. Under the doctor’s close supervision, coupled with all kinds of nutritional supplies, Lucia finally looked a little chubby as a pregnant woman.

It seemed that Lucia’s belly had obviously grown a lot in such a short time. But it was well hidden under loose clothing. If you didn’t look at her carefully, you really couldn’t replace that she was a pregnant woman.

“How is Mrs. Lucie?” Tandy asked the doctor, looking at Lucia’s back in silence.

“She is recovering very well. With good care, the babies’ sizes have become normal. The long-distance flight may seem tiring, but her body can handle it,” the doctor concluded affirmatively. He was satisfied with Lucia’s recovery these days.

He had interacted with Lucia during this short period of time. At first, the doctor had thought that he had to deal with a pregnant woman who was hysterical every day, but unexpectedly he found that Lucia was incomparably cooperative and never resisted any of his arrangements. Only in this way could she make such rapid progress and improvement. Sometimes when he looked at Lucia’s B ultrasound report, he sighed that the fetuses in Lucia’s womb were so energetic.

Tandy waved her hand. The doctor nodded and left. Tandy stepped forward and looked at Lucia. Recently, his sighs had never diminished. Lucia’s obedience at the moment made him uncomfortable. Maybe Lucia didn’t want to say anything, but faced with such Lucia, Tandy didn’t know what to do.

“Madam, we are planning to return to Spain the day after tomorrow. What do you think?” Tandy asked Lucia’s opinion.

“You can fix that,” Lucia said lightly. “But, Catherine…” Lucia suddenly stopped.

“Mrs. Lucie, rest assured. She is the Commander’s adopted daughter. She will enjoy whatever the Fredrickson family gives her and will be buried in the family cemetery.” Tandy gave Lucia a positive response.

In fact, they couldn’t even replace their corpses after such a violent explosion. All ceremonies were to fulfill only the will of the living, so that the dead could rest in peace. After getting the positive answer, Lucia silently walked towards the window. His eyes were focused on a certain point and did not move away for a long time.

“Lowell, can I take you home?” You traded your life for my safety. I will protect everything that belongs to you for the rest of my life. His silent promise echoed in the air. The mechanical movements of his hand did not stop. It seemed that each time, in the same position on the same glass, Lucia wrote the names of Kathryn and Lowell over and over again until the mist on the glass completely disappeared and the landscape outside the glass window appears in its view.

Lucia, who was dressed entirely in black, appeared at the airport. The heavy coat covered her swollen belly. It was obvious she was pregnant. After the staff completed all the procedures, Lucia calmly followed Tandy to the VIP passage and entered the waiting room, waiting for the plane to take off.

After getting on the plane numbly, Lucia discovered that they were the only people on the plane, and no one else. Instead of a regular seat, she was led to a comfortable bed. She hid her confusion and sat on the soft chair next to the bed, waiting for the plane to take off.

“Madam, the wealth of the Fredrickson family is beyond your imagination, let alone the Dresse Group. Be mentally prepared. I will do my best to help you.” After thinking for a while, Tandy finally told him the truth.

Lucia had to face the fact sooner or later. He believed that Lucia was a strong-minded woman and would not flinch easily. News of Lowell’s death had already spread to every member of the Fredrickson family. If Lucia didn’t have enough confidence in herself, she would easily be brought down. What she was going to face had to be a storm. After all, many branches of the Fredrickson family were already dissatisfied with Lowell, who lacked the family lineage, let alone Lucia.

Lucia didn’t answer Tandy and looked out the window. The flight attendants reminded them that they all sat down and fastened their seat belts. The plane flew into the sky. After he flew steadily, Lucia went to bed and rested. When she opened her eyes again, the plane had landed at Madrid International Airport.

After getting into the car waiting outside, Lucia returned to the ancient castle again. The sun in Madrid was still warm, with a unique Southern European aura. However, she was not as relaxed as before. She headed towards the place where she would spend the rest of her life with heavy steps.

When Tandy appeared in the castle with Lucia, countless members from various branches of the Fredrickson family had already gathered in the castle. Everyone looked at Lucia suspiciously, with greed in their eyes. They didn’t take the seemingly weak and pale oriental woman seriously at all. Without Lowell as a powerful supporter, it seemed that his threat was insignificant to those who had lost their money.

“Is it her? The Fredrickson family has already fallen into the hands of a stranger once. We can’t let it fall into the hands of a stranger again.”

“We must expel outsiders from the Fredrickson family. How could an Eastern bloodline deserve to appear here and profit from our wealth?”

The sarcastic tones permeated every corner of the room. The servants moved aside in silence. If these greedy people became their new master, they would be more willing to accept this quiet oriental woman. People with their own thoughts occupied their own territory in this huge space, as if waiting for the final decision. Looking coldly at everything in

sight in front of his eyes, Tandy wanted to say something, but his hand was gently pulled by Lucia. He looked at Lucie. There was a firmness in Lucia’s face that he had never seen in her before. After thinking for a long time, he stood indifferently behind Lucia, vigilantly guarding against all possible riots around. Before Lucia stabilized her position, Tandy would not allow anyone to rebel.

Tandy and Scott’s protective posture caused the people in the room to fall silent in an instant. Although they didn’t know who Tandy and Scott were, their cold aura gave them a vague illusion that they were possessed by Lowell. Inevitably, they bowed their heads and whispered to each other. They were a little overwhelmed by the scene which was beyond their imagination.

Lucia did not speak directly. Instead, she took out the “Mermaid’s Tear” from the box she carried with her. The bright blue diamond looked even more dazzling under the reflection of the crystal lights in the hall. When they saw that Lucia had taken out the “Mermaid’s Tear”, a strange expression appeared on everyone’s face. Soon, frustration appeared on everyone’s faces.

The owner of the “Mermaid’s Tear” was the Countess of the Fredrickson family. Whether or not there was a ceremony, its owner’s position was unshakable. Every descendant of the Fredrickson family must obey it and have no objection. These were the ancestral teachings of the Fredrickson family. When Lucia saw that everyone’s face had changed, she indifferently put the blue diamond in her hand into the box with the Fredrickson family crest, handed it to Tandy, and then walked towards the people in the room step by step. lobby.

“I will take over the Fredrickson family and the Dresse Group as Countess. If anyone has any objection, you can challenge me. But as long as I am alive, I will not easily hand over the Fredrickson family and the Dresse Group. I I’ll take care of everything for Lowell until the day I die.” Lucia’s tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but there was a faint menace in her words.

Behind Lucia, there were Tandy and Scott with serious expressions on their faces. They stood behind Lucia as bodyguards. Such a scene scared everyone. Lucia’s cold expression made them shiver. The smarter ones nodded quickly and stood beside Lucia. Those still struggling also retreated quietly under the silent threat of Tandy and Scott.

A chaos that could cause a bloody storm ended perfectly, beyond everyone’s imagination. The rest of the people in the room got up and left the castle as Lucia looked on. As they left the door, they saw the delicately carved door slowly close. The lions on the Fredrickson family totem roared.

Perhaps it was intended. The roar of the lions came from the east.

After everyone left, Lucia no longer looked imposing. A feeling of exhaustion came over him. She sat on the sofa helplessly. A maid quickly brought him hot water. Looking at Lucia, Tandy told the doctor to stay home all the time to prevent anything unexpected from happening. After a routine prenatal checkup, the doctor confirmed that Lucia was just tired from the long journey and that there was nothing serious.

“Ma’am, Scott and I will arrange everything else. You just need to show up in person. We will prepare first. Take a good rest,” Tandyn looked at Lucia and said respectfully.

“THANKS.” Lucia nodded slightly, showing her gratitude.

Lowell’s funeral was held in the Fredrickson family cemetery. The quiet Fredrickson family had long been hidden from upper-class circles. Of course, there wouldn’t be too many people present, let alone the media. In addition to members of the Fredrickson family, only the mercenary representatives who had followed Lowell and Douglas attended the funeral. It was only then that Lucia realized that Douglas was of great importance to Lowell. To Lowell, he was not only a good teacher and friend, but also an elder who had watched Lowell grow up. His position was not inferior to that of Lowell’s adoptive father.

“Are you Lucy? » Douglas asked.

Douglas looked Lucia up and down. Her calm and composure inevitably made him more interested in her. Seeing her swollen belly under the black coat, Douglas’s eyes became deep and inquisitive. But soon, he hid his questioning eyes and looked at Lucia calmly. After nodding slightly, he stepped aside solemnly.

In the violent explosion, Lowellr’s corpse was nowhere to be found. Today’s funeral was just a ceremony. What was buried was just Lowell’s belongings. After the priest finished praying, the symbolic urn was placed in the position that had been prepared. Everyone came forward, bowed three times, left the roses white, and quietly withdrew to the side. During the whole process, Lucia stood aside indifferently without saying a word. All procedures were personally completed by Tandy and Scott.

Kathryn was also buried in the Fredrickson family cemetery as Lowell’s adopted daughter. Even if it was just a mundane corner, at least his soul had a place to return to. However, Lucia did not put the last name Fredrickson on Kathryn, but kept her original last name White. Kathryn was the last member of the White family. Now the family had perished.

After all the procedures were completed, the others quietly left the cemetery, leaving only Lucia, Tandy and Scott here. Lucia stared for a long time at the photo of Lowell on the tombstone, lost in thought, motionless.

“Madam, it’s cold. Let me send you back,” Tandy said.

“No, you can wait outside. I want to be alone for a while,” Lucia said indifferently and refused his request.

Tandy and Scott looked at each other and left the cemetery as Lucia said, leaving her alone. When the footsteps behind her became farther and farther away , Lucia slowly squatted down. It seemed a little difficult for her bulging belly, but she still maintained the squatting posture and looked at the photo quietly. She reached out and touched it, but she felt not hot, but cold.

On In the photo, Lowell looked old and ruthless, unsmiling. Lucia suddenly smiled faintly, with some memories in the smile. This was the real Lowell, who only showed his softer side when he faced her . Sometimes Lucia sighed with emotion. How lucky she was to be able to be treated wholeheartedly by him! But just as she was about to take the first step towards him seriously, the man had already left quietly, leaving Lucia with nothing but melancholy and regret.

“Lowell, I’m pregnant, but he’s the father. You hate them? Well, you won’t hate them. You’ll just tolerate them and treat them like your own children. That’s because you were such a person I look so mean right now. I used you and I’m using Tandy’s loyalty to you, and I’m hiding my selfish motive. Babies are innocent anyway, right? You and I are orphans. We know this kind of pain. However, they could not be deprived of the right to be born because of this. Moreover, when I knew that I was pregnant, they already had human forms. They survived this hostile environment. Did that mean they were destined to be born?”

Lucia hadn’t said so many words at once in a long time. She was speaking not only to Lowell but also to herself. Lucia didn’t know how to deal with the babies in her womb. However, they were growing in her womb, and were her b***d and bones. She couldn’t be ruthless enough to have an abortion.

“I want a child for you and me…”

What Malcolm had said appeared in Lucia’s mind like a nightmare. Having a baby together was a scene that Lucia had once expected. However, it was like a nightmare that pushed her to hell step by step. But when she was so desperate, the babies came to her.

What irony!

“Lowell, I will take care of everything for you whether you care or not. At least this way I can feel your existence. Take a good rest. There are no hard feelings in this world . If there is life after death, I will protect you”, said Lucia after a long silence.

Then she stood up slowly. Her numb feet made her stagger a little. After steadying herself, she slowly walked towards the entrance of the cemetery. In the sun, Lucia’s shadow was stretched out, which seemed lonely.

“Ma’am,” Tandy called her respectfully when he saw Lucia come out.

Lucia looked at him silently for a long time without saying a word. There was sadness and hatred in Tandy’s eyes. He had special feelings for Lowell, but Lowell was dead. Presumably he was the most depressed. But he held back all his emotions and handled everything calmly and indifferently. It required a lot of willpower and endurance.

“Tandy, do you hate me? Without me, Lowell wouldn’t be like this,” Lucia suddenly said in a low voice.

“You lost your family too, didn’t you? We’re both hurt. Why do we have to hate each other?” What Tandy said surprised Lucia.

It was a warm feeling. After so long, Lucia no longer felt cold towards Tandy. She saw the confidence in his eyes. From that point on, they would be best partners and take on everything Lowell left behind together. Lucia thanked him softly and walked towards the car parked nearby. Scott quickly opened the door for Lucia. Then he sat in the driver’s seat, waiting for Tandy to enter.

“Lucia, if the time ever comes, I will take action against Malcolm. Will you become my obstacle?” Tandy asked silently, looking at Lucia’s back.

The dead had gone contentedly, while the living took on more responsibilities. Perhaps one day, when the king returned, there would be a shocking storm. However, were they ready for this?
