Chapter 1311: Chapter 1314: Be obedient, and I’ll let him out to see you. Chapter 1311: Chapter 1314: Be obedient, and I’ll let him out to see you. Aidan Lucas seemed to be standing in the shadows, never once looking at Lily from start to finish.

“Remember, from now on, your only concern is to peacefully nurture the baby growing inside you. You’re forbidden from meddling in anything else.”

“But… where are you sending me?” Lily couldn’t help but ask.

“Where you’re going isn’t for you to ask, just focus on properly taking care of the child. And… remember to learn how to please me.”

When Aidan spoke, his tone was so indifferent that it was almost impossible to discern his emotions.

“Pleasing…” Lily’s eyes widened in shock, “What on earth do you plan to do?”

“What I plan to do is none of your business.” He stepped forward, glancing at her coldly.

It wasn’t until now, standing in the light, that Lily could clearly see the look in his eyes.

Chilly and dim, devoid of love, devoid of warmth.

“Just know this, if you behave and make me happy, I might occasionally let your beloved man come out to see you. Otherwise, believe me… you will become the one to personally strangle his life away.”

The color drained from Lily’s face in an instant.

All thoughts of resistance or refusal were suffocated by a simple threat from Aidan Lucas.

Having issued his warning, Aidan left the hospital room.

Soon after, someone knocked on the door and appeared before Lily.

It wasn’t Samuel McKinley, it wasn’t Sebastian Lucas VII, it wasn’t Benjamin Lucas IX.

Instead, it was two women she had never seen before.

That very night, two people vanished into thin air in B City.

One was Lily, and the other was Mason Scott.

In the outskirts of B City’s Warehouse District, the night fell dark, almost obscuring any signs of human presence.

And within this district, in one of the dilapidated warehouses, a man whose demeanor greatly mismatched these shabby surroundings was lounging sideways on a leather sofa specially brought by his subordinates.

He toyed with a blood-streaked whip in his hands.

His eyes, brimming with malevolence, swept carelessly over the man struggling to crawl towards him.

And that man, the moment he caught Aidan’s glance, couldn’t help but shiver where he knelt.

The tattered clothes revealed the raw, bloody whiplash wounds where skin had split open.

“Mr. Lucas… Mr. Lucas, I was wrong… I truly realize my mistake now. Please, spare me! It was an honest accident; how could I possibly have thought to harm Lily? She’s my precious granddaughter, Mr. Lucas!”

Mason Scott had finally managed to crawl to Aidan’s feet, almost wishing to embrace his legs and beg for mercy.

But just the thought of the start, when he first attempted to grasp the man’s legs and plead, only to be kicked away mercilessly, made Mason hesitate once again.

He knew Aidan Lucas disliked being touched, so he dismissed the idea of grasping at his legs, instead, he kept kowtowing and admitting his faults at his feet.

“Mr. Lucas, you are a magnanimous person, please forgive me! I’m a useless old fellow, advanced in years and unwell, not long for this world.”

“I beg you not to remember the offenses of such a short-lived wretch as me! Please, consider that I am Lily’s grandfather, I beg of you, spare me!”

Mason Scott was genuinely terrified.

From his youth until his old age, the most miserable days he had endured were in the Military Camp.

He had always thought those were the bleakest moments of his life.

But now, in Aidan Lucas’s hands, Mason Scott realized what true misery was.

Just the lashes from Aidan’s whip exceeded the beatings with a military baton he had suffered in the camp.

Not to mention that each of Aidan’s lashes seemed to carry full force.

The whip landed on him with brutal precision, splitting open his aged flesh, leaving him battered and bloody.

If he wasn’t fully aware that feigning unconsciousness would provoke Aidan Lucas to inflict even more terrifying punishment, Mason Scott surely would have passed out from the pain long ago.
