Chapter 163 Crisis.

Smellian and Lu Xia did not go home all night.

The two came out of the hotel the next morning.

When they got home, Cecil hadn't gone to work yet. Seeing the two of them coming back, Cecil went straight up to them and called softly, "Sister, you're back. I've put the trust fund documents in the study. Sister, you can sign them when you have time."

Unexpectedly, Cecil's efficiency was quite high. Lu Xia nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."

Lu Xia greeted them first and then went upstairs to his room.

Cecil looked at Smellian and said, "My sister is in a special condition right now. Smellian, you'd better not do anything rash."

Hearing this, Smellian looked at Cecil. For a moment, it seemed as if their roles had been reversed. In the past, he always worried that Cecil would do something reckless to Lu Xia.

He looked at Cecil and didn't refute. Instead, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention next time."

Cecil felt a little blocked in his heart. Smellian always treated him like this, which made him feel powerless. He turned to look at Smellian who was walking up the stairs: "Do you think I'm childish?"

Smellian stopped and turned to look at him, confused, Cecil, why are you suddenly unhappy?
"There were some before, but now I think you've matured a bit."

Smelian didn't admit it directly, but he didn't deny it either. This answer made Cecil still feel confused and depressed.

He turned around and said firmly, "I won't be so childish forever."

After saying this, Cecil walked away angrily.

The old butler watched Cecil leave, then turned to look at Smellian standing on the stairs and said, "That person waited for you for a long time last night."

Upon hearing this, Smellian looked at the old butler and replied with a look of surprise: "Oh, really? No wonder he looked so angry this morning."

After he finished speaking, Smellian smiled at the old butler, turned around and went upstairs.

The old housekeeper felt that although this family seemed peaceful, there were actually a lot of secret struggles. At least Cecil was quite jealous, but it was understandable. After all, among the three males around Duke Lu Xia, Cecil was the only one who had not gotten anything. It was normal for the child to be jealous.

Lu Xia got himself ready, had lunch at home and prepared to go to Courtyard No. 2. Smellian thought he would rest at home, but it was obvious that Lu Xia couldn't sit still.

But he had other things to do today and couldn't accompany Lu Xia.

Smellian walked her to the door and said, "Contact me if you need anything. If I come back early, I'll pick you up at Courtyard No. 2."

Lu Xia felt that after last night's date, Smellian seemed to have become a little clingy, but she didn't dislike him and smiled and said, "Okay."

Then he turned around and drove away.

On the way to Courtyard No. 10, Lu Xia received a message from Madam Dana: "Madam Dai Yin and Victoria have already arrived at their territory. They won't be returning for at least the next years."

Lu Xia didn't expect that the two people had arrived at their territory so quickly. Since leaving the palace that day, Lu Xia no longer paid attention to them.

She replied to Mrs. Dana, "Okay, I understand, thank you for telling me." The message had just been sent when suddenly a black hover car drove towards her at high speed.

Lu Xia was startled for a moment, and just as he was about to evade, another hovercraft suddenly appeared from behind and charged straight at his own. The two hovercrafts collided with a loud roar, and debris from the collision smashed into Lu Xia's hovercraft, sending smoke billowing everywhere.

Lu Xia calmed himself down and quickly lowered the car. However, the two hover cars were not so lucky. During the collision, the suspension systems of the hover cars failed and they fell directly to the ground.

Lu Xia opened the car door and was about to go over to take a look when Tucker got out of another hovercraft and called out to her, "Don't go over there. Stand there, Your Excellency the Duke."

Lu Xia stopped and looked at Tucker who had rushed over: "What's going on? Is anyone okay? Call an ambulance!"

Tucker immediately asked someone to check on her, while he stayed by Lu Xia's side and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

Lu Xia's hovercraft had a very high protection system. She hadn't suffered any injuries just now, just a little frightened, but that was the least of the damage. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Let's see how they are."

Tucker nodded: "You take a rest in the car, and leave the rest to us."

Lu Xia also knew that he might not be able to help much if he went over, so he did not insist and turned back to the car. Soon the ambulance arrived.

After the collision, one person died and the other was injured. The deceased was the owner of the hover car that suddenly appeared, and the injured was the owner of the hover car that rushed up from behind and collided.

After the ambulance arrived, a police car also rushed over. Upon learning that Duke Lu Xia was involved in the incident, the police station did not dare to be negligent.

They hurried to apologize to Duke Lu Xia and said that they would solve the case as soon as possible and would never let Duke Lu Xia suffer any losses. They also specifically suggested taking Duke Lu Xia to the hospital to check if he was injured, but Lu Xia declined.

The matter ended here. Lu Xia watched the two damaged hovercrafts being towed away by the police station and asked Tucker, "The injured one is one of yours, right?"

Tucker did not hide it and nodded gently: "You don't have to worry, his beast form is a pangolin, and his defense is relatively high. Even if he is injured, his recovery ability is stronger than that of ordinary people. He will be fine after staying in the hospital for a while, and the medical expenses will naturally be reimbursed, so you don't have to worry."

Tucker arranged everything. Lu Xia felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at Tucker and said, "What if you make a mistake and he dies?"

Tucker fell silent after hearing this. In fact, the other party had already made up his mind to die the moment he rushed forward. It was a miracle that he survived.

So he couldn't answer this question. All of them were seekers walking on the edge of danger. Death was their destination. But now, seeing the little female in front of him whose face was flushed due to anger, Tucker seemed to feel the warmth of being cared for for the first time.

He explained, "No, don't worry. The hovercraft we drive has the highest defense system, and his beast form also has high defense, so as long as it's not a weapon attack, he will be fine."

Lu Xia wasn't sure if he was telling the truth after hearing this answer, but she still reminded him, "Next time you encounter something like this, think more about yourself."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and opened the car door, then stopped and turned to look at Tucker: "If there is any investigation result on this matter, tell me, and I don't care who reimburses that person's medical expenses. After he is discharged from the hospital, you all come to the No. 2 Hospital together."

Lu Xia said this, got into the car, closed the door and was about to leave when her terminal vibrated. It was Smellian.

Apparently Tucker had reported the matter to Smellian.
