Chapter 582 The Old Mrs. Lucas is Critically Ill
Throwing a meaningful glance at Martha, Louis walked quickly towards her, saying indifferently,"Come back with me and have a good meal."
"Stefan," Martha looked at Stefan for help, her tone of voice filled with reluctance.
She didn't want to stay with Louis and certainly didn't want to go back to the Lucas residence.
When Stefan heard her voice, he frowned and unconsciously pursed his thin lips. Just as he washesitating about what to say next, Louis' hoarse voice came out from his thin lips again, savingStefan from having to speak.
"Martha," Louis said, "the old Mrs. Lucas is critically ill. As her granddaughter, you must go backand see her."
Louis felt that once these words were spoken, there would be no reason for Martha not to returnhome.
But what he did not expect was that when these words reached Martha's ears, they took on acompletely different meaning.
Now she knew that these two men must have discovered something suspicious which led themboth into doubting her.
Otherwise, why would they use such a poor excuse?
As for Louis' claim that the old Mrs. Lucas was critically ill - it was simply untrue, because she knewbetter than anyone else that the old lady was very well.
While Martha pondered over everything going through her mind right now, Louis spoke up again.
"Just go back and see your grandmother." This time Louis' voice carried some sadness.
If it weren't for Martha knowing exactly the old Mrs. Lucas' health status, she might have believedLouis when seeing him looking so sad.
Before Martha could even think of a refusal, Stefan had walked up beside her, put an arm aroundher shoulder while urging gently, "Don't worry. I'll come along with you!"
Things had gone too far by now, so there really wasn't any other choice left for Martha.
Helpless, Martha pretended to look sadly at Louis with concern on her face, "How is mygrandmother doing?"
"You'll find out when we get there," replied Louie cryptically before turning around walking outsidetowards his car parked nearby.
Stefan patted Martha's shoulder to reassure her, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and forcedher to follow closely behind Louis.
All three got into the car without uttering another word.
After Martha's initial nervousness subsided, she couldn't help but speak up. "Before I left, wasn'tGrandma's condition already stable? How could she suddenly be in critical condition?"
Louis looked at Martha with a cold expression and his voice was icy as he spoke in the car."Grandma is already old and has been sick for so many years. It's normal for her situation to take aturn for the worse."
Upon hearing this, Martha furrowed her eyebrows and didn't know what to say.
The reason Louis said that was only to make Martha give up on leaving and quietly return to theLucas family.
However, Martha understood that the old Mrs. Lucas was perfectly fine. He only said that so shewould have no choice but to return.
After calming down, her thoughts became clearer.
Now she knew that Louis and Stefan were suspicious of her identity.
But right now they were only at the stage of suspicion, because they had no way of proving whetheror not she was truly Martha.
Or they would have known the old Mrs. Lucas was the real one pulling all the strings.
