My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 499

His heart ached immensely every time the thought of not seeing her or hearing her voice in the future surfaced in his mind. He would even be fine with her daily nagging at him as long as she lived.

After resting in the lab for a long time, he slowly got up.

It was already midnight when Spencer came to fetch him.

The latter immediately went to support him as soon as he saw his fragile state. “How are you, Mr. Nolan?”

“I’m fine,” Lucas replied weakly. I need to leave quickly. I don’t want Ashlyn to see me like this.

Spencer nodded and he led him to the car and left.

A black Bentley whizzed through the highway in the middle of the night.

Spencer drove Lucas to the nearest private hospital.

The price was considerably high since the hospital practiced extreme confidentiality.

The doctor was shocked when he saw Lucas’ blood-stained chest.

“How did you get this wounded?”

Lucas refused to reply to him as his pale face remained expressionless.

“Please admit him here,” Spencer informed coolly.

After they completed all the procedures, Lucas laid in the VIP ward. He finally closed his eyes and fell into the endless darkness.

No matter how strong his body was, in the end, he was but a human.

Spencer stayed by his side as he stared at the usually strong man who had been reduced to such a weakened state.

He shook his head in frustration.

Mr. Nolan’s affection for Ms. Berry is unbeatable.

The next morning, Ashlyn fluttered her eyes open in the lounge area within the lab. Rubbing her eyes, she noticed that it was already eight o ‘clock.

The faint sunlight seeped in through the gaps between the curtains.

She sat up only to find the poison already spread to her neck.

If it continued spreading, it would undoubtedly reach her mouth, nose, and lastly, to her brain. Lucas would be infected if he kissed me.

It didn’t spread to the mouth and nose before.

Ashlyn shook her head as blood rushed to her face. How could I think of Lucas kissing me at a time like this? I should be worried that I still have a few days left to live!

She took a deep breath before going to wash up.

During breakfast, she stared at Jared, whose eyes were bloodshot. “How’s the antidote coming?”

Jared’s heart ached as he lifted his bloodshot eyes to look at her. “I reckon we’ll have the results by noon.”

“That soon?” Ashlyn asked in disbelief.

It was a dead-end before. Why is everything progressing so fast now?

She had a nagging feeling that she had missed something.

She went directly to the lab after breakfast. Jared did not stop her this time.

Inside the lab, she could see that there was a bowl of red liquid on all the eight researchers’ experiment tables.

Is that blood? Where did they get this amount of blood? And what are they using it for?

Ashlyn furrowed her brows slightly. She had the delicate kind of beauty with her small button nose.

Her glossy dark eyes flickered slightly when she saw something familiar.

There was a dark red pocket square under the corner of the lab table.

Why is Lucas’ pocket square here?

Ashlyn’s mind drifted back to when Jared stopped her from entering the lab last night.

Is he hiding something from me?

Her frown deepened.

She bent over to grab the pocket square and turned to leave.

Jared yawned when he saw her emerging from the lab. “I stayed up all night last night. I’m going to take a rest now.”

“Jared, why is Lucas’ pocket square inside?” Ashlyn narrowed her eyes at him, trying to read any emotions on his face.

“That’s not his. That’s mine. I must’ve dropped it yesterday,” he replied with his usual smiley face.

He then snatched the item from Ashlyn’s hand out of the blue. “Boss, don’t tell me you miss him? If you miss him, go meet him then!”
