A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

The atmosphere turned incredibly awkward for a moment.

The family doctor appeared a bit embarrassed. "Mr. Strakovski, Ms. Roberts informed me that you were scratched by a cat and asked me to come give you a rabies vaccine and tetanus shot."

Lukas's face twisted with displeasure. "It won't kill anyone." He muttered.

Reese pursed her lips helplessly. She struggled to find words to describe Lukas's complex personality.

He wasn't as icy as he appeared, yet he chose to make himself unapproachable.

The family doctor smiled gently, "Mr. Strakovski, it's true that no one will likely die from a cat or dog scratch. The risk of getting rabies is quite low. But you can never be too careful, right? A simple shot just to be safe."

Lukas's expression remained sour. "Get on with it then." He said.

Lukas settled on the sofa in the study while the doctor cleaned his wound with iodine.

Reese stood quietly beside them as the doctor administered the shots and applied a bandage.

After the doctor left, Reese had the housekeeper send him off, then returned to the study.

Leaving the study door ajar, Reese entered directly.

Upon seeing her, Lukas appeared unsettled, "Why are you here again?"

Reese pressed her lips together, "I've come to apologize on behalf of Little Reese. She's more comfortable with me and doesn't understand human language. She thought you were going to harm me. Please don't be mad."

Lukas snorted, "Do you think I'm going to be mad at it?" He said incredulously.

Reese pursed her lips, "I understand that compared to Little Reese, you'd be angrier with me, Gerald, and the others. It was their own actions that led to their troubles, and it had nothing to do with other people. I know your intentions were for the best, and I was unclear about things today. I apologize."
