His Eagle Eyes on Me

Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?"

"Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted.

Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?"

"It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?"

Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you send him to live with me when Lucas turned eighteen? You said you couldn't handle him anymore, so you asked me to care for him. Did I or did I not look after him? If it weren't for me, how could he have studied abroad? Could he have gained so much knowledge? He only managed to start his own business because I paid for his education!"

Her face alternated between red and white. "I'll make sure Lucas repays you for his college tuition!"

Mr. Woods snapped, "Clearing his debt won't change the fact that he's my son! That's an unalterable fact! Whether he lives well or poorly in the future, he's still my son! You can't sever that bond between us!" Lucas' mother panted heavily and muttered, "Why you..."

"What about me? Aren't you about to die? When that happens, Lucas will only have me as family. You can't control his future, and you can't control our relationship. You might as well help me improve my relationship with Lucas before you die. Consider it one last good deed before you go! If you help me out, I can give you a grand funeral after you die!"

Mr. Woods tried to manipulate Lucas' mother's feelings, but instead of being swayed, she shook uncontrollably, and her eyes rolled backward.

Realizing something was wrong, Mr. Woods rushed out to call the doctor.

However, her breathing had already ceased by the time the doctor arrived.

Terrified, Mr. Woods turned red and broke into a sweat. "She died! I didn't do anything! She just died!"

The doctor tried to calm him down. "Sir, please calm down. Would you like to inform your son about this, or should I?"

With that said, he called Lucas.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available. Please try again later."

"I can't reach him? Did he block my number?" he wondered aloud.

"Let me try," the doctor offered.

The doctor took out his phone and called Lucas.

Lucas answered the call right away, and the doctor exchanged an awkward glance with Mr. Woods.

Mr. Woods was embarrassed, and

the doctor walked away with his phone. Lucas, your mother has just passed away. You must hurry back to the hospital to start arranging her funeral."

Lucas was utterly stunned.

He had just stepped out of the hospital, and his mother had completely fine
