Chapter 1605

Mrs. Lucas couldn't help but think back to how she had once treated Jamie. Now, to lower herself and ask for Jamie's help felt humiliating, even to her. She couldn't help but feel that what she was doing was utterly inappropriate. Jamie poured her a glass of water and handed it to her with a calm smile. "Mrs. Lucas, please take your time."

Mrs. Lucas stared into Jamie's eyes, noticing the calmness and sincerity there. She hesitated for a moment before finally taking the glass.

After a long pause, she spoke hesitantly, "I want to apologize for how I treated you before. I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that. And now, having to come to you like this, even I find it hard to look at myself."

"You don't need to say that, Mrs. Lucas," Jamie replied gently.

"Jamie, I want to ask for your help to talk to Ben," Mrs. Lucas said, taking a deep breath before continuing.

She slowly began explaining what had happened over the past few days. Ever since Ben had walked out that day, he hadn't spoken a word to them. He had even driven out all the people his father had placed at Lucas Corporation.

"His father is furious and not in good health. Last night, he worked himself into such a rage that he ended up in the hospital. He's still lying in a hospital bed," Mrs. Lucas said with a sigh.

Jamie's eyes widened in shock. She hadn't expected things to escalate to the point where Mr. Lucas would fall ill from anger.

"How is Mr. Lucas now?" Jamie asked with concern.

"He's stable for now, but I want Ben to come and see him," Mrs. Lucas said, looking at Jamie with a pleading expression.
