Chapter 473
She had a feeling that Lochlan’s call had something to do with Charlotte.
“Well...” Sighing, Lochlan started explaining what happened.
After a minute, Ashlyn hung up the call.
When she raised her head, she noticed Lucas gazing at her solemnly.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she said, “Lucas, I’m going to work a shift at night. Go home first.”
“I’ll stay with you.” A faint smile appeared on his lips.
I don’t need you to keep me company, okay?
All she wanted to do was to go to the lab at Broadway Hospital and look at the results of today’s research.
The Backtrack poison was spreading across her body every day. If she were not wearing a long-sleeved shirt to
conceal her wrists, the bruises there would be extremely noticeable.
She was immediately overwhelmed by anxiety.
Remaining passive is not my style.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, if Lucas insists on staying here, what should I do?
Taking a deep breath, she hugged his muscular waist. “Lucas, do you know something?”
Lucas felt his breathing quicken as his heart pounded rapidly against his chest and his muscular body stiffening. Not
only did she take the initiative to kiss me, but she’s also sending herself into my arms?
“I really don’t hate you anymore.” Ashlyn’s lips curved upwards, revealing a dazzling smile that was as beautiful as
a rose in full bloom.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she leaned in and whispered beside his ears. “What about you? How do you
feel about me?”
Lucas’ voice was hoarse. “Honey...”
His brooding eyes scrutinized from Ashlyn’s head to toe in disbelief.
Suddenly, Ashlyn pinched his ears, moved her scarlet lips to his, and planted a kiss there. “I want you!”
Lucas’ eyes sparkled brightly as he stared at Ashlyn’s alluring red lips like a hungry wolf.
At the very next second, he kissed her passionately. However, while Ashlyn was hooking her arms around his neck,
a silver needle suddenly appeared on her fingertip!
She stabbed it into the back of his neck!
Instantly, he felt a piercing pain, as if he had been bitten by a red ant. Then, a numb feeling spread across his body
and he started to lose consciousness.
Lucas’ eyes became bloodshot, making him look as terrifying as Hades. “Ashlyn! How dare you? I’ll strangle you!”
Laughing, Ashlyn jumped away from Lucas and blew a kiss at him. “I’m sorry, Lucas. I’ll tell Spencer to pick you up.”
Lucas’ burly body toppled onto the ground. Right before he landed, he saw Ashlyn took off her white coat and
strode out.
She’s lying! She’s not working a night shift at all. Just what exactly is she planning to do that she has to keep it from
me?
Looking at her back, Lucas’ expression turned ugly.
The situation had slipped out of his control.
What secrets are she hiding?
He wanted to chase after her. However, the tranquilizer’s effects were starting to show. The strength in his body
disappeared as he gradually closed his eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the lab at Centennial Healthcare, Ashlyn forced herself to stay awake at the meeting table as she listened to the
eight researchers’ report.
“So, what you’re saying is that there’s no progress at all, right?” Ashlyn massaged her temple tiredly. “All of you
may leave now. Leave the report with me.”
The eight researchers left guiltily.
Jared sat beside her, feeling worried. “Boss, how are you feeling? Did any other symptoms appear today?”
Ashlyn took off her gloves and revealed her wrists, which had been eroded by the poison.
“I’m extremely, extremely tired. Jared, if this doesn’t work, in the future...” Before Ashlyn could finish her sentence,
Jared interrupted her, “Boss, nothing will happen to you. We’ll definitely develop an antidote! We’ll never give up
until the very last moment.”
Looking at Ashlyn’s exhausted face, Jared felt heartbroken. He assured, “Boss, you’re going to be fine. I... I’ll just
infiltrate the NN Terrorist Group to look for the antidote.”
“Do you think that I haven’t sent anyone there?” Ashlyn chuckled. “But it’s futile. They can’t find anything.”
She gazed at the night sky outside the window. After a while, she said, “Jared, I even invested in a movie! I wonder if
I can survive until its release in the theatres.”
