After Ethan Blackwood took Avery Wells away, Avery's parents, Harrison and Victoria Wells, hurried to the hospital. Originally, they were just going to see their son, Lucas, who had broken his leg. But Harrison Wells' wrist was dislocated by Ethan Blackwood, so the first thing they did at the hospital was to find a doctor to reset the bone.
After the pain was relieved and the wrist was tightly wrapped in white gauze, they finally thought of visiting their son.
Lucas owed over a hundred thousand in gambling debts due to gambling the night before. Even lying in a hospital bed with his leg in a cast, those creditors still didn't let him off the hook.
"If you don't have the money ready in three days, watch out for your other leg!" Several debt collectors threw things around the ward, kicked over several chairs, and even moved the bed.
After warning Lucas, they left with a menacing air.
With such a show of force, the nurses kept their distance and dared not approach the ward.
It was well-known throughout the city that Lucas, the eldest son of the Wells family, was addicted to gambling.
This morning, when Lucas broke his leg and was hospitalized, everyone thought it was because of his gambling debts and that he had been beaten up by his creditors again.
No one knew that the main reason for Lucas's broken leg this time was because the Wells family had offended the wrong people.
When Harrison and Victoria Wells arrived, those people had already left.
Seeing their son lying alone in bed, with one leg in a cast and the other bleeding profusely from a recent knife wound, it was clear that he was in a helpless situation.
Looking at the messy hospital room, with everything almost out of place, Victoria Wells immediately understood what had happened.
"Lucas, my precious son, you must be in so much pain. Mom will call the doctor right away."
Harrison Wells came over with his wrist wrapped in white cloth, and was furious when he saw his son in this state.
"After the Wells family gets through this difficult time, I will make sure to find those people and make them pay for what they did to you."
"The Wells family is a prestigious family in the city, how can we let them bully us like this?"
The couple both loved their son dearly, but no one had ever reprimanded Lucas for his gambling habit.
Lucas was the only son and heir of the Wells family, and had never experienced any hardship in his life.
He was spoiled rotten.
Whenever he got into trouble outside, his parents would help him out and pay the price for him.
It was precisely because of this that Lucas had become so spoiled that he had developed a gambling addiction three years ago, causing the once prosperous Wells family to gradually decline.
Now, they had reached the point where they had to send their daughter to someone else to have a child.
After the doctor arrived, he quickly treated the new injury on Lucas's leg.
Victoria Wells was worried about her son and stayed by his side the whole time.
"It's all because of that girl Avery. If she had become Mr. Blackwood's woman yesterday, she would have solved our Wells family's problems and you wouldn't have had this accident."
"Mom, didn't you say it was already taken care of?"
Upon hearing this, Lucas's face was full of resentment.
"It's all your fault. If you didn't inform me about this mess, I wouldn't have come back."
In his opinion, if Avery Wells had not angered Ethan Blackwood, the problem of the Wells family would have been resolved quickly.
Therefore, he did not feel that he was at fault for encountering such a tragic situation upon his return.
"Be good, Lucas, don't be anxious. The Wells family will be fine soon, and you will be fine too," Victoria Wells comforted him.
However, she was also worried about what Ethan Blackwood had said before leaving.
"What should we do? If Mr. Blackwood thinks that the Wells family is not worth helping, then we..."
Harrison Wells frowned and said firmly, "Don't worry, the Wells family will be fine!"
"Wife, do you have any ideas?" Victoria Wells' face brightened as if she had caught a lifeline.
"Yes," Harrison Wells nodded, and a cunning light shone in his eyes under his aged eyelids.
"Isn't Avery going to become Mr. Blackwood's wife soon? Since we can't directly ask him for help, we can start with that girl."
"That girl can cut off ties with us because we treated her badly, but I don't believe she can really give up on the two elders," Harrison Wells said.
Among the three children of the Wells family, Avery Wells had the best relationship with the grandfather and grandmother.
If they could successfully help the Wells family through this difficult time and play some tricks on the two elders, it would not be impossible.
Victoria Wells quickly understood. "That's fine, as long as it can help the Wells family through this difficult time , and make our son well, anything will do."
With the old lady and old master around, she didn't believe she couldn't handle that girl!
Lucas lay on the bed, listening to his parents' conversation, impatiently blocking his ears. "Are you done talking? If you are, please leave. I'm very tired."
"Okay, okay. You rest well. We won't disturb you anymore. If you need anything, just call home."
Victoria Wells was most afraid of her son getting angry, so she quickly pulled Harrison Wells and left.
When the couple was about to reach the door, Lucas thought of something, shook his eyebrows, and half sat up to stop them. "Which Third Master were you talking about just now?"
Victoria Wells explained, "Other than Ethan Blackwood in the city, who else could be the Third Master?"
"Great, it's really him!" Lucas squinted his eyes, his face showing a proud expression.
"Dad, Mom, the Blackwood family is the most powerful and wealthy family in the city. We must seize this opportunity and make a fortune!"
With the support of the Blackwood family, the Wells family would surely rise to the top.
The Blackwood family was his stepping stone.
After Avery Wells married Ethan Blackwood, was he still worried about not having enough money to gamble?
Lucas was making such a wishful calculation in his heart.
The couple didn't know that their son was happy about gambling money, and thought that he was happy about the future development of the Wells family.
After Harrison Wells and Victoria Wells left, Lucas lowered his head and pounded the muscles on his leg.
On the young and handsome face, there was a trace of sinister cunning.
"Ethan Blackwood, Avery Wells? Ha, I see that you guys are tough, but I am tougher. Even if it's for you guys, I will get out of the hospital as soon as possible."
At that time, he would take all of Ethan Blackwood's family property.
That bitch's things were all his!
