Chapter 384
Ashlyn looked terrible and was a little pale, but she was strangely energetic.
It was already past midnight, but she couldn’t seem to sleep.
Mom is still alive. She didn’t get in a car crash and was sold instead. Horace lied to me! What about my baby sister,
though? Was she sold too?
Ashlyn thought about how her mother and sister might be suffering at that moment.
They might be hidden and are being tortured right now! Ashlyn felt like she might lose control of her emotions when
she thought about all that.
She was tempted to destroy everything in sight.
She took a deep breath and suppressed all the negative feelings inside her.
N-no, that can’t be it. Mom and sis are happy right now. They must be leading a good life... Stop overthinking this.
Just stop overthinking it!
Ashlyn laid on the bed and kept comforting and lying to herself.
Before she knew it, she had closed her eyes, and it was almost noon when she woke up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe picked up her phone to check the time. That was when she noticed the number of missed calls.
Some were from the hospital, while the others were from Lucas.
Ashlyn sent a reply to the hospital but ignored Lucas’ texts.
She freshened up before driving to the hospital.
She parked her car, when suddenly...
“Wow, that guy is so handsome and cool!”
Ashlyn hadn’t even gotten out of the car before an exaggerated shriek surprised her.
She blinked and traced the gaze of the shrieking stranger.
That was when she saw several black Bentleys parked by the hospital’s entrance. That sight exuded power and
could stun anyone.
Over ten security guards got out of the car and marched uniformly to form two lines. It looked like they were
trained.
The door to the Bentley in the middle was opened, and a few men in tuxedos walked out of it.
Ashlyn’s gaze fell onto the man that led everyone.
He wore a handmade black coat and a pair of ironed-out black trousers. He had one hand in his pocket and stood
straight, which highlighted his tall figure.
He had short, dark hair, and his unearthly handsome face looked like it was specially crafted by heaven itself. He
looked physically fit and was surprisingly perfect.
All he had to do was stand there, and everyone else would pale in comparison. They looked at nothing but his
background.
The man exuded the powerful aura of a natural leader, and that prompted others to instinctively bow down to him.
Just then, another equally fit and tall man got out of the car as well. The man looked ridiculously handsome and
polite, and his lips wore a caring grin.
Lucas and Joseph showing up together like that instantly captured everyone’s attention.
Ashlyn got out of the car and walked towards the hospital.
Lucas stood there with his dark eyes quietly tracing her.
“Why didn’t you pick up your phone?”
Ashlyn wasn’t sure if she had made a mistake, but... Did the surrounding air suddenly turn cold?
Ashlyn raised her brows and walked past the man as she replied, “I just woke up.”
In other words, she refused to pick up her phone while she slept.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoseph was standing beside Lucas, and the former wanted to laugh aloud when he saw Lucas being tossed aside
like that. Joseph managed to keep his laughter in, though.
Aw, what is up with Lucas? Ms. Berry is still treating him like he’s nothing.
“Mr. Joseph,” greeted Ashlyn reluctantly. She only greeted Mrs. Field out of courtesy.
“Ms. Berry, my boss has been in a bad mood ever since he woke up. I suspect that he might be sick. Should I get
him some medicine or something?” joked Joseph while wearing a bright smile.
“He needs a good punch. Just beat him up, and he will recover in no time,” answered Ashlyn calmly.
Lucas still had one hand in his pocket, but his gaze turned icy as he glared at Ashlyn. That woman... Lucas had just
regained his internal composure and thought about the trap she had set to get him married. He finally understood
everything and rushed over to tell her the good news, but she repaid him by being that cold and cruel.
Such an ungrateful little thing. You weren’t that distant when you needed me to be your cure on the bed.
As far as Lucas was concerned, the evilest thing was that Ashlyn had verbally dissed him.
Beat me up? Hell, I think I’d heal faster if I beat you up! In bed, of course.
Ashlyn walked towards the elevator then.
