"I'm fine. Run!" Lucien takes Nina by the hand and runs like hell.

There seems to be a group of people catching up. The bullets flow over their heads after a few shots. Nina's heart pounds.

When they run into a small alley, suddenly a group of people approach them.

"Mr. Gray, put the gun down!" Suddenly two cold guns appear behind Lucien and Nina's heads.

It's a terrible feeling to be shot twice a day in the head.

Lucien's hand around Nina's shoulder suddenly tightens.

Lucien says coldly, "I'll stay. Let this woman go!" He turns his eyes and looks for the best chance to escape.

The man in black behind laughs, "why should I listen to you?"

Lucien's voice is hoarse. "If you touch one of her hair, none of you will live!"

"What if I touch it?" The man reaches out a big, fluffy hand and gives Nina a a hard squeeze on the face.

Nina lets out a low cry of pain.

Lucien's cold eyes suddenly become bloodthirsty!

He wrenches his body to an incredible angle and lifts his leg to kick off the gun behind Nina. He elbows the man in black behind him.

Two men in black whistle and more people rush around. Their fists rain down on Lucien. All their strength is used on Lucien.

Lucien dodges the fists and tells Nina to run away.

Lucien is beaten to the ground and rolls around. Nina has never seen him so humiliated.

Nina can't stand it.

"Enough!" She rushes to the group who are beating Lucien.

"Stop fighting! I just called the police! The police will be here in a minute!"

A man claps in the black Bugatti beside them.

Nina turns around and sees a man in the back seat.

The man whistles and all the men in black stop. They bows and calls him, "Mr. Gray."

Mr. Gray? Before Nina can respond, she hears Lucien's low voice, "Dad."

Dad? Nina is shocked!

Lucien's father was in the car and saw his son being beaten like this by his men?

Or are these people in black sent by him?

How can there be such a father in the world?

Nina is furious at Lucien's swollen face. She rushes to the car and shouts, "are you Lucien's dad? How can you do that? Are you crazy! Will a father do this to his son?"

The man in the car doesn't speak.

Nina's head pops up with a pistol.

"Stop!" Lucien yells behind Nina, "if you hurt her, I'll kill you all!"

"OK. Let's go!" Suddenly the man in the car says. He lets them go.

The car leaves. All of a sudden, Nina and Lucien are left in the street as if the fierce gun battle has never happened before.

"Nina!" Lucien calls Nina.

Nina looks back and sees Lucien lying on the ground. His face is swollen and there is blood on the corner of his mouth. His hair and clothes are in a mess. There is anger in his eyes and he shouts, "Why did you meddle! Do you know it was dangerous!"

"You!" Nina is about to say that he is ungrateful when Lucien's eyes close.

Nina runs quickly to see Lucien is in a coma.

St. Louis hospital.

Nina walks restlessly around in front of the emergency room. Her hands pinch her clothes unconsciously.

It is a breathtaking day.

She always thinks Lucien is a spoiled young man so he is grumpy and cruel.

She didn't expect him to have such a father. For no reason, he ordered his men to beat him up and put a gun on his son's head.

Nina thinks she's met a crazy family.

"Miss Morrison! Miss Morrison!" Paul, the housekeeper, arrives in a hurry with a group of servants.

Nina just called Paul on Lucien's cell phone. She doesn't dare to tell Grandpa Gray because she is afraid that he will get angry and get sick.

"Miss Morrison, how about young master?"

"I don't know. He is in the process of rescue." Nina glances at the closed door of the emergency room.

Nina has an unspeakable tension.

She knows that Lucien's beating has something to do with her. If it wasn't for protecting her, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

When he was beaten, he still thought about her and asked her to run away. The worries and heartaches in his eyes are real and can not be pretended at all.

Nina's heart pounds.

Does Lucien really like her?

The emergency room lights out. The doctor comes out and speaks a lot at a very fast rate. Nina is confused. She looks at Paul.

"One of his ribs is broken. Nothing else." Paul breathes a sigh of relief and says to Nina.

Lucien is soon pushed out. He has an oxygen tube in his nose and his eyes are closed. The blood on the corner of his lips has been wiped off by the doctor.

But he still looks very embarrassed.

Lucien is pushed into one of the most luxurious and best equipped wards. The decoration and configuration here are all top-notch. There are also four nurses in the ward.

Nina sits by Lucien's bed. She is in a bad mood.

Lucien is still sleeping. His face is full of scars and his hair is messy. He is not as handsome as usual.

Looking at Lucien like this, Nina's mood is complicated.

What he did today shocks her once again. Everything seems to show that Lucien really likes her.

Nina grips the fabric of her skirt with her hand. This skirt is worth over a hundred thousand dollars. But now it's dirty with dust and blood.

Lucien never grudges money for her. He chooses the best for her.

She always thinks it is just because Lucien is a generous owner. He gives her presents just because he has a lot of money and it doesn't mean anything.

Now it seems that what she thinks is wrong.

Nina puts her face in her palm.

If Lucien likes her, it's complicated.

"Miss Morrison, have a drink!" Paul brings Nina a cup of lemon tea. He glances at Lucien on the bed and says, "Miss Morrison, there's a bed in the ward. You can go in and sleep. Young master will not wake up for a while."

"It's OK. I'm not sleepy." Nina thanks in a whisper.

How can she sleep at this time? She's not worried about Lucien's condition, but a lot has happened today and she doesn't understand.

Arrogant and cold-blooded man in black and mysterious and gloomy Mr. Gray...

Isn't Gray Family a big consortium? Why are they like the underworld?

Nina drinks lemon tea and gently asks, "what's wrong with Lucien's dad?"

Paul seems to have heard something he shouldn't have heard. He looks at Nina sternly and says, "Miss Morrison, never say what you shouldn't say. Let it rot in your stomach."

...

Who is he? Why can't she mention him? What's the secret of Gray Family?

Nina can't understand, so she stops thinking.

The needle tube for transfusion on the hospital bed is slowly dripping the liquid medicine. Lucien sleeps quietly. His thin lips are slightly dry.

Nina soaks the swab in boiling water and dabs it on his lips. She combs his untidy hair with her fingertips.

Lucien doesn't wake up until dawn. He looks at Nina with his deep eyes.

"Are you awake?" Nina sits in the chair in front of the bed and looks at him quietly.

"Yes." Lucien tries to sit up, but suddenly he groans with pain and touches his chest with his big hands.

Dad beats him harder and harder!

"One of your ribs is broken. You'd better stay in bed these days." Nina presses the button on the bed to raise the bed slowly.

"Damn it!" Lucien frowns and swears.

"Sleep a little longer!" Nina whispers to Lucien.

The nurses who are supposed to take care of Lucien in turn are asleep on the sofa in the outer room.

Nina's white face is full of exhaustion and haggard.

Lucien is not satisfied.

Lucien yells in a low voice, "Nina, go to sleep!"

"I'm not sleepy." Nina lowers her eyes." Shall I peel you an apple?"

"Go to bed!" Lucien has a dull pain in his ribs on his chest.

Nina ignores his roar and picks up an apple and peels it.

"Nina! Don't you listen to me?" Lucien is furious. "Do you want to die?"

The woman is becoming more and more disobedient now! She's totally ungrateful!

She rushed out and shouted at his father when he was hit.

He's his son, so he just teaches him and won't kill him.

But she's different. If his father is really annoyed by her, she will be killed.

Nina ignores Lucien's roar and peels the apple.

Lucien frowns angrily. He stretches out his hand to pull her over, but his wound hurts when he moves his hand. He groans with pain.

Nina stops when she hears his voice. She looks at him anxiously. "Does it hurt? I'll call a doctor for you."

"No." His voice is as cold as iron.

If he can't stand this little injury, is he still Lucien?

They stop talking. Lucien doesn't drive Nina away either.

Lucien leans against the bed and watches Nina peel the apple.

She peels the apple quietly. She looks quiet as if it wasn't her who rushed out and shouted at his father today.

"Nina, you're too bold. You dare to shout at my father. Do you know who my father is?"

"Who? A mysterious boss of a European consortium?" Nina asks lightly.

This woman is so naive that she can only see the surface.

How could the head of Gray Family be as simple as she thinks?

"He depends on his mood. Once a bodyguard who had been protecting him for many years said a word, he shot him twice and paralyzed him for life." Lucien says in a low voice. He stares at her face with interest, waiting for her reaction.
