Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Living in Your Heart (29)

Arthur Bennett’s face was dark, and he could only drink water every day. After knowing that Lucy Eaton was still alive, he became even more anxious and his condition worsened.

When Lucy arrived, he was panting heavily, and the people taking care of him automatically left the room and closed the door.

Upon seeing them come in, Arthur Bennett’s eyes widened, wanting to say something, but his throat could only produce a hoarse sound, unable to utter a single word.

"It’s been a while, Your Highness," Lucy smiled slightly, "Do you want to ask how we can see you? Of course, it’s because the Second Highness instructed the people watching over you, after all, he’s the hope of our Country Y now. As for you, you’re just barely hanging on, can’t last much longer. By the way, let me introduce the person beside me. She’s called Rose Green, a distant cousin of my husband. Ruby, greet His Highness."

Flora Palmer stepped forward and smiled at Arthur Bennett, "Hello, Your Highness, I’m Rose Green."

As soon as she spoke, Arthur Bennett’s pupils contracted, Flora Palmer!!!!!!

What made him even angrier was that Flora Palmer introduced her son as well.

"This is my son, William Green."

Seeing the child’s appearance, he actually wanted to skin this woman alive; she dared to be with her own bodyguard...

But unfortunately, he was powerless.

Having successfully infuriated Arthur Bennett, Lucy was very satisfied, "What are you widening your eyes for, Your Highness? Indeed, you can’t even speak now, quite pitiful. The Second Highness underwent an eye surgery and will soon be able to see, that’s great, isn’t it? In the future, our President will be the Second Highness."

Flora felt relieved, "Your Highness is so noble, it’s best for you to stay here quietly."

What else can he do but stay here?

Upon leaving, Lucy and Flora both burst into laughter.

"Thank you," Flora said sincerely, "Without you and Jacob Green, I couldn’t have survived till now."

"Without you, he wouldn’t be in this situation either."

"I’ll head back first, Lewis is waiting for us outside the Presidential Mansion."

"Alright, you go ahead. I’ll go see the Second Highness."

"Waiting to attend your wedding."

Lucy smiled and nodded, seeing her leave with the child.

Emma Bennett lay on the bed recuperating, overhearing her conversation with Theodore Fenn, she was about to sit up but was pressed down, "Lie down properly."

"Yesterday, your father visited me."

"What did he say?"

"He said he wants to step down once I ascend, but I didn’t agree. I need his support, and he agreed. Do you blame me?"

"How could I?" Lucy replied, "If my father is willing, it means he still cares about the people of our country, not just you, Your Highness. If he’s willing, I’ll fully support him. If he’s truly unwilling, even if Your Highness doesn’t agree, it’s useless."

"Xiao He, you’ve always helped and protected me, wait a bit, once I’ve regained my sight, it’ll be my turn to protect you, no one will dare touch you again."

"Once you ascend, I can truly be at ease."

"It won’t be long, my father said he’ll hold a ceremony for me the first week after I can see."

From him, Lucy learned the first news and was elated, "Really?"

"Yes, really."

"That’s great, truly great. Your father is so good to you now because he really has nothing else to rely on anymore."

"That’s one thing, secondly, he thinks I’m oblivious to his past actions; how could that be?"

"Now, Your Highness, your popularity is high. Knowing your surgery was successful, our country’s people are eagerly awaiting you. The position is yours for sure. With our support and your grandfather being the Minister of Defense, who else if not you should be President?"

"You really have confidence in me."

"Of course."

...

The bandages on Emma Bennett’s eyes were removed on October 18, and her vision, as everyone expected, had no issues.

But due to just seeing sunlight, she needed to adjust.

During her adjustment period, she began preparing for the election ceremony.

On October 23, she became the new President of Country Y.

Unfortunately, Arthur Bennett died that night during her election.

Uncertain if he died from anger.

His death was kept under wraps, not disclosed.

His death was announced the next day, but due to media reports last year about his poor health, there was no reaction from the public.

October 26 was the wedding day of Jacob Green and Lucy Eaton.

All family and friends were gathered.

Mia Townsend had wanted to return earlier but came late due to John Green’s work.

She hugged Lucy Eaton and cried, ruining her makeup.

Nathaniel Sutton didn’t come, but his gift did.

There were no bridesmaids or groomsmen, but a troop of flower children.

Charles Sharp’s son, Matthew, and Lucy Eaton’s daughter, Naomi Green, walked in the front.

Followed by the twins of Silas Sheppard.

Then came Mia Townsend’s son, Thomas Green, and James Foster’s daughter, Bella Foster.

Flora Palmer’s son, William Green, and another young child star walked together.

The wedding was originally livestreamed by mainstream national media, and to everyone’s surprise, it was also broadcast on television.

Including overseas channels.

No other couple has ever had such a grand wedding.

Guests included half of the entertainment circle, business circle, and political circle.

Even the President of a country attended.

How could it not attract attention?

Emma Bennett had known Lucy Eaton’s appearance through photos, but seeing her in person was today.

He sat in the front row of the guest seats, looking at her in her wedding dress, his eyes slightly reddened.

"You look beautiful today."

Some feelings are meant to be buried deeply in the heart, hidden from the light.

He sat at a table with the elders of the Baker Clan and Green Family.

Elliot Gill, Mia Townsend, John Green, James Foster, Watson, Charles Sharp, Alice Brooks, Flora Palmer, Lewis, Elijah Sheppard, and Lily Green were all at one table.

Since the wedding started, the whole table was laughing non-stop, especially Elijah Sheppard, whose eyebrows danced with joy, "Seeing our Jacob getting married, it truly brings tears to my eyes."

Mia Townsend couldn’t help but laugh, "Lily, please control your husband."

"Don’t worry, the washboard is waiting for him at home," Lily Green said, although her eyes were filled with laughter.

Since the skiing trip with Elijah Sheppard, the couple’s relationship gradually warmed up, and he used his manly side to melt the snow in her heart.

These past few years, she has been very happy. Even upon hearing Logan Moore and Anne getting married, her heart didn’t feel conflicted or upset but rather at peace and filled with deep blessings.

"Mr. Jacob Green, do you..."

"I do, I do, I very much do!"

The guests and the viewers watching the wedding livestream burst into laughter at his prompt answer.

They thought Lucy Eaton would be calm, but unexpectedly...

"Miss Lucy Eaton..."

"I do!"

The host: "..."

Maybe today is not a good day according to the fortune calendar?

After exchanging wedding rings, the host finally said the most anticipated line, "You may kiss now."

Holding each other’s hands, the two kissed, and thunderous applause erupted.

The wedding ceremony was held during the day, and the reception took place in the evening.

The attendees were only the closest group of friends.

Everyone drank, danced, and watched performances.

The atmosphere was electrifying.

Jacob Green wasn’t made to drink during the day because of the livestream; no one wanted to see him drunken on camera.

But the evening was different, and the burning grievance of Charles Sharp, Elliot Gill, and Emma Bennett raged.

Jacob Green was made thoroughly drunk.

They were determined to drink him under the table.

Living up to expectations, Jacob Green was carried back to the room by Nathaniel Green and Oliver Green.

——

A month after the wedding, Lucy Eaton wanted a second child, but Jacob Green opposed it.

He had endured for five years, and Naomi didn’t share a room anymore; he had finally started enjoying their couple’s world and now she wanted another kid.

That was not going to happen.

So he adopted a postponement policy, always telling Lucy Eaton to wait a couple of days.

But this ’couple of days’ was lasting too long.

Lucy Eaton decided to enforce it tonight.

"Honey, put the knife down; let’s talk calmly."

"I’ve talked to you calmly so many times, but you never listen. Since you don’t want a second child, let’s sever the root cause."

"Honey, I want, alright? Please put the knife down first."

"Leave no clothes on."

Jacob Green hurried to comply, attempting to snatch the knife when she wasn’t looking, but ended up being chased around.

A cry came from the bedroom, "Help, someone is murdering her husband!"

Outside the door, Nathaniel Green wore a helpless expression; such scenes frequently played out recently, and as a subordinate, he found it troublesome.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard his young master’s pitiful voice from inside, "Dearest wife, please take a seat."
