Chapter 588
Then, in the face of Ashlyn’s surprised expression, she dropped to her knees.
“Ms. Berry, initially, I didn’t plan on interfering with you and Lucas. But, I am just too pathetic. I’m really going to die
as my heart condition is so serious that there isn’t a chance to treat it anymore. You can meet someone better in
the future but unlike you... I only have Lucas.”
Ashlyn was shocked at Claire’s sudden reaction.
As she tried to help Claire stand up, she heard her say, “If you don’t promise me, I will not get up for the rest of my
life. I will kneel till you agree to my request.”
“Ms. Nolan, have you been watching too many soap operas?” On the account of Lucas, Ashlyn patiently replied, “I
suggest you read some books when you’re bored.”
“Besides, if Lucas chooses you, I will leave immediately. Therefore, Lucas is the one you should be talking to instead
of pleading with me here. You’re begging the wrong person.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment, Claire realized how cold and stubborn Ashlyn was.
She had run out of tricks. This woman is just as cold-blooded as ever.
She became extremely upset. “Ms. Berry, you’re really cruel to force me to stay on my knees.”
“I sympathize with you for having a heart condition. I can also help you to look for a doctor. As for other things, I
can’t help you even though I would love to.” Ashlyn was already in a foul mood recently. Meeting a lunatic like Claire
only made matters worse. Grabbing her bag from the table, she walked past the kneeling Claire and headed for the
exit.
Then, in the face of Ashlyn’s surprised expression, she dropped to her knees.
“Stay kneeling as long as you want to. I want to see how long you can keep it up without me as an audience.”
Meanwhile, Lucas had just finished a meeting and was leaving the meeting room when his phone rang.
It was Claire’s number.
“May I know if this is Mr. Nolan?”
Lucas frowned as he heard the unfamiliar voice. “What is it?”
“I’m a doctor from the First Hospital. Something has happened to Ms. Nolan. So, please come at once.”
As Lucas tightened his grip on his phone, his tone became grim. “What did you say?”
“Ms. Nolan had a sudden heart attack and it’s very serious. Her life is in danger and we are doing our best to save
her now.”
Realizing something was wrong, Spencer was about to ask what it was before Lucas cut him off, “We have to go to
the First Hospital at once.”
In the ward.
Claire was in the ICU being hooked up to life support, hanging by a thread.
Lucas barged in like a madman. “Claire, what happened?”
As he held Claire’s hand, he could feel the warmth in her slowly dissipate.
No matter how hard he tried, it felt as if the God of Death was winning.
Meanwhile, Blair and Naomi arrived after hearing the news. “Claire!”
When both of them saw their sister whom they had not seen in a while lying lifelessly on the bed, their eyes couldn’t

Claire’s time was obviously running out.
Lucas’ eyes too were bloodshot. “Claire, I’m still looking for a compatible heart for you. Please give me a little more
time. I’m sure I can find it.”
Claire shook her head as she replied in a feeble voice, “It’s too late for me.”
Her eyes had lost their sparkle. When she tried to lift her pale hands to touch his cheeks, she realized she was too
weak to do so.
“Lucas...” She muttered as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Lucas, I-I love you.”
Her tears continued to flow. “In another life, will you love me back?”
Lucas looked at her in shock. “Claire!”
“Lucas... promise me. Promise me that you will break up with Ashlyn. Promise me! If you don’t, I will not die in
peace!”
Lucas tightened his grip on Claire’s hand. “Claire, how can you say something like this?”
Claire didn’t seem to hear him as her listless eyes were filled with despair. “I hate her... I hate her for stealing you
away. Just take it as I am begging you. Don’t be together with her, alright? She is the one who did this to me... do
you really want to be together with my killer?”
