Chapter 206
"It's exactly because my wife has studied there that we can't send her there. There might be people in New York who would recognize her. If that happens, all our efforts will be in vain."
Cillian retorted, rolling his eyes. "So, what you're saying is that our efforts won't be in vain if we send her to Charleston?"
That was exactly what Matthew meant. Charleston had strict border control, so very few people could enter the country. Lucy had never been there before either, so it was unlikely that anyone would recognize her there.
However, a problem arose. "She's unfamiliar with both the people and the place. Without anyone to take care of her, won't it be dangerous for her to be alone?"
Matthew looked at Cillian as if he were an idiot. "You seemed pretty smart just now. How did you turn into an idiot all of a sudden? Leon Corporation is the top global enterprise, and I have businesses in every country. I can ensure my wife's safety in Charleston."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Cillian fell silent. In that case, there should not be a problem, but he still had one more worry. No matter how powerful Matthew was, he could not go up against someone in their own territory.
What if someone from the royal family in Charleston harbored ill intentions toward Lucy?
However, he quickly dismissed the thought, thinking that it was impossible. Lucy was just an ordinary woman. How could she get into trouble with the royal family of Charleston? He was overthinking it.
Plus, even if the royal family of Charleston posed a threat, Matthew could surely protect Lucy with his power, right? With these thoughts in mind, Cillian decided not to raise the issue.
Yet, he could not shake off a sense of unease. "Who's going to accompany Lucy?"
He raised a concern, "Since you have to deal with Spades, you can't leave the country. Moreover, you have to be right under their nose. But Lucy can't be left alone, right?"
Matthew lowered his head in silence.
He understood what Cillian was implying, so he looked at him and sneered, "Are you suggesting that you'll be the one to accompany my wife to Charleston to stay by her side?"
Cillian was not afraid of him, so he stared directly into Matthew's eyes and said, "That seems to be the only way."
Matthew's lips twitched as he
realized the crux of the issue. While he could easily assign someone else to accompany his wife, there was always a possibility of betrayal or bribery.
However, Cillian would not do that. He cared for Lucy, even spending years waiting for her. Among all the others, he was the least likely to harm Lucy. Since Matthew could not leave, Cillian was the best choice to accompany Lucy, but still.
Matthew was reluctant, but he still agreed in the end as he was the one married to Lucy. Cillian could not take his wife away from him. Matthew was very confident about that.
One might wonder how these two men were able to calmly discuss a solution to this matter when they were usually at odds.
Well, it was simply because Lucy's life was on the line. These two men were able to set aside their personal grievances and work together to

triangle had nothing to do with this.
Lucy was both of their Achilles' heels.
No one was allowed to lay a finger on her.
Now that Cillian and Matthew had come to an agreement, they returned to the ward to see Lucy.
