Chapter 500
However, even if you went to meet him, I doubt he’ll agree to meet with you in his current physical condition.
Jared was dejected upon that thought.
Ashlyn felt that something was off, but she did not know what, so she could not say anything.
With that, Jared proceeded to take a rest.
The sun was shining outside.
Ashlyn took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator before going to the lab’s open-air balcony.
The balcony was fifty meters wide. There was a rattan chair in the middle, with a coffee table. The place was
surrounded by wisteria flowers.
There were pots of green plants on the floor. The sun’s rays cascaded in, casting mottled lights and shadows.
The breeze was very relaxing.
Employees and researchers generally would rest at this spot when they were tired.
Ashlyn plopped herself down on the rattan chair while sipping on the drink.
In the patch of green, she looked like a fallen angel under the sun’s warm glow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the fifth floor of the hospital across the street, the frail man happened to see such an eye-catching scene.
His heart trembled, what Lucas felt was so intense that he could not help but clutch at his chest.
The private hospital that Spencer sent him to last night happened to be just across Centennial Healthcare’s
pharmaceutical research center.
He was in a coma for a day and a half right after he was admitted. He had just woken up now, and he was greeted
with the beautiful sight of the woman on the open-air balcony.
His face was expressionless as he stood there with his strong and slender legs. His upper body was bare and his
chest was wrapped with white gauze. Despite the fragile state that he was in, the strong aura exuded from his body
was still there.
Women would instinctively be attracted to such a sexy body, especially to men like him, who radiated such strong
sexual attraction.
“You’re good at choosing hospitals,” said Lucas to the person behind him.
Spencer’s heart shuddered as he hurriedly replied, “I purposely chose here so that it’s easy for you to keep an eye
on Ms. Berry’s condition.”
Lucas picked up the black shirt from the couch and slowly put it on. He had just changed the gauze. His short black
hair looked very flamboyant under the sunlight.
He was badly injured now, and he feared that he would not recover any time soon.
Spencer was staring at his back concernedly.
Mr. Nolan is having it tough.
He sighed upon that thought.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn had fallen asleep on the open-air balcony.
When Jared came over, the sky was already ablaze with the fire of the setting sun.
She slowly opened her eyes to see Jared holding a glass of warm water in one hand and two red pills in the other.
Her vision started focusing as she blinked her eyes. “The antidote’s done?”
She suddenly coughed as soon as she said that. She then felt a tinge of metallic taste in her throat.
Blood started gushing out from her mouth and nose, staining her clothes.
Jared was shocked to his core upon that sight. “Boss! How are you feeling? Please don’t scare me!”
Ashlyn grabbed a piece of tissue from the table to wipe the overflowing blood. Then, she flashed a weak smile at
Jared. “I’m fine...”
I didn’t expect the poison to be this severe.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe felt dizzy, but she was secretly celebrating. It’s a good thing that Lucas doesn’t know about the poison in my
body. Otherwise, he’ll only do crazy things that I can’t even begin to think of.
Jared quickly handed her the cup of water before popping the pills into her mouth. “Hurry and take the antidote,
boss.”
So they’re indeed antidotes.
Ashlyn’s thoughts were hazy.
She swallowed the blood-scented pills with two gulps of water.
Her muddled mind could not even think of anything else as she closed her eyes once again, drifting into the
darkness.
On the fifth floor of the hospital right across the street, Lucas frowned as he watched the scene from the window.
His heart was beating frantically, throbbing in pain.
He was highly tempted to rush to Ashlyn and embrace her in a tight hug when he saw her coughing up blood. How
he wished he could take all the pain she felt away.
Perhaps it was because he got too anxious, but Lucas started coughing violently and that tore the wound on his
chest. All of a sudden, blood gushed out from his wound, gradually staining the gauze wrapped around his chest.
