Chapter 681
“I want to protect her, but I can only distance myself from her right now. I even dream of being with her all the
time. My heart aches whenever I think of this. I really love her a lot. I had never suspected her when Claire died,
and I have never thought of seeking revenge on her. I know her the most. How could she kill an innocent woman
like Claire? She's a righteous person who would even send help when she encountered an accident. How could such
a kind person like her harm Claire? Naomi, I only hope to protect her for the rest of my life. I don't even care if that
means I am against the world.”
Naomi was stunned as she stared at the man's handsome face. She could only see his lips moving, but she could
not hear anything he said.
I really can't hear anything at all.
Anxious, she uttered, “Lucas, what are you saying? Can you please write them down?”
Meanwhile, Ashlyn, who was outside the door and was about to knock, froze on the spot.
Lucas' low voice continually entered her ears.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvery word he said rang through her eardrum.
He said he loves me. He said he wants to get so strong that nobody can defeat him.
Taking a deep breath, Ashlyn was about to turn and leave when she bumped into a nurse. The nurse was holding a
tray as she approached Naomi's ward. She asked curiously, “Dr. Berry, why are you not entering the room?”
“I-I'm not going in.”
With that, Ashlyn turned around and left the scene.
Inside the ward, Lucas was stunned upon hearing her clear voice.
It was a dark and quiet night; neither the stars nor the moon could be observed in the sky.
Ashlyn huddled in her room. Her eyes were wide-opened, and she had difficulty falling asleep.
Suddenly, moonlight streamed into the room. A tall man dressed in black jumped through the window just as a
gentle breeze blew by.
Who is it?
Frowning, Ashlyn pretended as if she was sleeping, attempting to let his guard down.
However, she instantly felt a sense of relief when she heard the familiar footsteps.
Lucas? It's late now. What is he doing in Bayview Villa?
Lucas walked to her bed and stared at Ashlyn, who was sleeping soundly.
He only dared to visit her when the night had fallen.
Otherwise, they only seemed like two strangers during the day.
He had even attended the preliminary rounds of the piano competition as a spectator.
He sat in an unnoticeable corner, keeping an eye on her every move.
Ashlyn, who sat on the judge's panel, exuded an attractive charisma.
Besides, he observed her through the surveillance cameras when Ashlyn had a meal with the Field family in The
Peacock.
He would not want to miss out on any scene of Ashlyn.
She has been swamped and tired recently, judging from her expression. She seems to lose some weight, too.
Lucas' heart ached for her.
Reaching out a hand, he wished to caress her face, but he feared it might disturb her sleep.
Hence, he could only stand beside her bed and stare at her instead. A wave of emotions washed over him at that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminstant.
He recalled the past four years they had spent together as a married couple.
Everything seemed like a dream following Claire's death.
He vowed to himself that he must strive to be better. He swore he would find out the relevant terrorist group.
He was determined to be stronger than the couple in Nolan Group so that he could protect her.
Feeling his headache, he lowered his head, but his heart ached more.
In the meantime, Ashlyn lay on the bed motionlessly, pretending to be sleeping soundly.
The man guarded at her bedside for a long time, and Ashlyn fell asleep unknowingly.
When the sky was starting to brighten, she merely heard the sound of someone leaping out of the window.
Opening her eyes, she noticed the man jumping out of the window.
Did he really... stay with me for a whole night?
Ashlyn had complicated emotions.
Whenever she consumed the antidote, she was reminded that the ingredients were Lucas' aorta blood and bone
marrow. A wave of mixed feelings would instantly flood her heart.
The feelings were incomprehensible, and she could not even figure them out.
