Lucas and Joseph headed towards the elevator as well.

The men got into the elevator first, and Lucas’ dark eyes glared intently at Ashlyn when he instructed, “Get in.”

Ashlyn shook her head and replied, “No thanks. I’ll get the next one.”

When Lucas heard that, his handsome face darkened, and he readjusted his emotions to suppress his annoyance. After that, he said, “Honey, stop making a scene and hurry up.”

Ashlyn’s lips twitched.

Why is this man suddenly speaking so softly and sweetly? I have goosebumps all over me now.

The elevator’s doors were about to close, so Lucas extended his long arm, grabbed her, and dragged her in.

When Ashlyn stood beside Lucas, she felt like his burning gaze was stuck on her.

She felt a little uncomfortable, so she retaliated by glaring back, but she was ambushed by a pair of beautiful, dark eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat before she demanded, “Why did you come to the hospital?”

Those mesmerizing dark eyes seemed to have the ability to break through all of Ashlyn’s defenses and shoot an arrow straight into her heart.

Her long eyelashes tilted downwards, and she was no longer looking at the man.

Lucas, however, suddenly got close to her. His familiar, masculine scent instantly surrounding Ashlyn.

His deep, sexy voice then rang up beside her ear, “Guess.”

The man’s familiar icy breath swirled around her nose, and it felt like it was corroding her defenses.

Ashlyn’s long eyelashes fluttered, and she turned away.

“Why should I?”

She lifted her arm to push Lucas aside, and when the elevator door opened, she immediately rushed out.

Arthur’s surgery was scheduled for the next afternoon.

Ashlyn sat in her office and read Arthur’s medical report with a frown on her face.

The bones on his knees were crushed, so were the ones on his arm. He also had a series of other injuries, including more broken bones in other regions.

Almost every injury was on the surface while his internal organs remained intact.

That proved that Arthur used to be healthy, and given the extent of his injuries, it was likely not an accident. It looked more like someone had physically abused Arthur.

Ashlyn frowned as she analyzed the situation.

She was still lost in thought when she heard a series of knocks on her door.

“Come in.”

She had just finished speaking when her office door opened. A nurse popped her head in. “Dr. Mccoy wants to talk to you about Arthur’s surgery, Dr. Berry.”

“Alright.” Ashlyn grabbed the medical report and headed towards Dr. Mccoy’s office.

She had just left her office when she bumped into Penelope, who was holding another man’s arm. The man wore a white coat and looked pretty easy on the eyes.

Ashlyn hadn’t been in the hospital in a while, so she didn’t recognize the man.

Penelope barred Ashlyn’s path proudly and said, “Ashlyn, let me introduce you to my new boyfriend, Jerry Sherman.”

Jerry had just got back from studying overseas, and his father was John Sherman, the second-in- command of the hospital. He had just started working when Penelope heard about his family background and immediately went after him. She did everything to present her best self to him.

Jerry was a player even before he headed back to the country. When a woman went after him, he would happily accept her.

As such, the two of them had started a relationship quickly.

Penelope turned proud the second she was the girlfriend of the son of the second-in-command of the hospital.

Bumping into Ashlyn only made it impossible for Penelope to not boast.

Ashlyn remained unmoved. Her beautiful eyes glowed with calmness and disinterest as she said, “I am not interested in knowing who you’re dating.”

Jerry’s eyes shone with surprise and bewilderment when he saw Ashlyn’s extraordinary beauty. Why didn’t I know that the hospital has a doctor this stunning?

Penelope’s beauty was above average, but compared to an angel-like Ashlyn, Penelope was nothing more than mere dust on the floor.

The difference in beauty made Jerry upset.

“Dr. Berry, right? Hello, I am Jerry Sherman, the doctor from the orthopedics department.”

Ashlyn extended her hand out of respect and politely shook Jerry’s hand, but she never expected Jerry to stare with lust burning in his eyes. He gripped her hand and even extended his other hand to caress the back of Ashlyn’s hand.
