His Eagle Eyes on Me
Chapter 2491

Irene hurried to the dog and touched its body. It was cold to the touch. It reminded her of her grandmother as she lay dead in her bed. Irene broke down in tears.

Her crying woke Lucas up, and he opened the door in shock. He had a thin jacket slung across his shoulder. When he saw the scene in the yard, his expression darkened.

His dog had been with him since he was six, and Lucas had not expected that someone would poison his dog on the first day at the mansion.

Mr. Woods sat slumped in his chair while Mrs. Woods stared at the boy in front of her with contempt.

"I was the one who told them to poison it! It's worth nothing. What does it matter if it is dead? What are you trying to do, presenting yourself before us? Mrs. Woods looked at Lucas mockingly. "Besides, I've discussed the matter with your father before I had the dog put down. No mutts are allowed here!"

"It's my dog, not a mutt!" Lucas clenched his fists and glared at her resentfully.

"Lucas, your dog didn't stop barking. What if it had hurt someone? If you want a pet, I'll get you a more obedient dog, and you can have that as a pet, alright?" Mr. Woods stared at the dead dog in disgust. "Someone bury the dog somewhere!"

"Don't touch my dog!" Lucas glared at Mr. Woods with bloodshot eyes and clenched his jaw. "I would have never come back with you had you not begged me to! If you are so disgusted by my dog, why didn't you say anything yesterday?! I will never forgive you!" he shouted before leaving with his dog's body.

"Mr. Lucas, wait for me!" Irene hurried after him, and the two walked toward the west in the storm.

It took Lucas a while to realize that Irene was following him. "Why are you following me? I'm not going back there!"

"I won't go back either, then, Mr. Lucas." Irene's eyes reddened as she muttered in a muffled voice, "They've gone too far."

"Why are you crying?" He saw the tears in her eyes and felt a lump in his throat.

"My grandma died two days ago," she said, before pausing. "Mr. Lucas, if it's okay with you, you can bury your dog next to my grandma." "Is your grandma's grave far from here?"

"No." She showed him the way. "Your dog will protect my grandma in heaven."

Lucas stared at her in silence.

"Mr. Lucas, if you are not going back to the Woods' mansion, where will you go? They say that your mom is getting married, so do you have anywhere else to live?"

His expression darkened.

"You can stay with me for now if that's okay with you. The snowstorm is going to worsen, and if you don't find somewhere to stay, you are

going to freeze to death," she ne

reminded him while looking at the

thin jacket he was wearing.

Lucas remained quiet. He was absorbed in his thoughts.

He lived a purposeless life, and just when he thought life could not be more miserable, he was proven

wrong. However, he could not appease the anger within him if he

was to simply leave.

In the afternoon, Irene took Lucas to her rented apartment after burying the dog.

The sky had completely turned dark at four due to the storm, and she let Lucas sleep in her room while she rested in her grandmother's room.

The next morning, she fried some eggs and was about to call Lucas out for breakfast when she noticed that the room was empty, and Lucas was missing.
