Ashlyn finally picked up the video call.

His handsome face immediately appeared before her face. She did not know whether her judgement was right, but she felt that Lucas looked like he had lost weight. Was he not adjusting well overseas?

She heard his enchanting voice say, “Hey honey.”

Ashlyn took another bite of her dinner and said, “Have you had dinner?”

“No.” Lucas shook his head. With his heart aching, he looked at Ashlyn’s pale, tiny, and gaunt face.

He decided that he would definitely fatten her up again after his recovery.

With that, his unhappiness faded and he stared at Ashlyn greedily.

“Why didn’t you have dinner? No wonder you look skinnier.” Ashlyn glared at him. “Watch out before you lose your abs.”

Lucas chuckled and said cheekily, “Shall I take off my clothes to show you?”

“Save it.” Ashlyn pouted.

He then changed the topic, “Did you mean what you said a few days ago in your office?”

Ashlyn looked rather embarrassed as she had rarely been this brazenly honest with him about her feelings. She denied it flatly. “What did I say?”

“You said you didn’t hate me anymore.” Seeing a pink blush slowly spreading across her pale little face, he could not help but laugh. “Does that mean you have fallen for me?”

“You flatter yourself,” Ashlyn snorted coldly.

Lucas smiled sweetly. “Silence is consent then.”

“Not talking to you anymore. It is affecting my appetite.” Ashlyn hung up quickly either out of avoidance or fear.

Lucas’ brows raised when he saw how anxious she was.

He then put down her phone and picked up his binoculars again.

Every day, he would watch Ashlyn from across the street. In order to take care of him, Jared had arranged for Ashlyn’s room to be right across his hospital room.

As long as he stood by his window with his binoculars, he would be able to see everything clearly.

When he saw that Ashlyn had woken up, he quickly gave her a video call.

Ashlyn had no idea that he could witness every single step that she took.

The so-called business trip was just for him to recover from his injury.

Spencer stood behind him and reported softly, “Mr. Nolan, the F1 World Championship is in two weeks’ time. Will our fleet be registering for the competition?”

Lucas put down his binoculars and turned towards Spencer. “Of course, we cannot miss this kind of world-class competition.”

“Alright then.” Spencer immediately nodded. “We don’t know what your physical condition would be like then.”

“Of course I have to be there personally to encourage our fleet,” Lucas said coolly. “No matter what, I will be there.”

Spencer knew him very well, so he did not say anything else to stop him.

At the lab, in Ashlyn’s room.

“This year’s competition is taking place in a fortnight?” Ashlyn raised her brows. “Centennial Healthcare’s fleet is just above average. Tell them to increase the rigor of their training.”

Every year, each country would send a few fleets to participate in the F1 World Championship, which was a world-class competition.

The Centennial Healthcare’s fleet had just barely qualified for the competition.

“Therefore Boss, you mean that..?” Jared stared at her with disbelief. She is in a terrible physical state!

“I will work hard.” Ashlyn did not say anything else and continued to eat her dinner.

In the middle of the night, the moon hung high in the sky.

In the Chapman mansion.

Hera yawned as she was about to go downstairs for a glass of water.

When she walked past her grandfather’s room, she heard someone talking in there.

Why isn’t Grandpa asleep at this hour? Who is he talking to?

Out of curiosity, she looked around the house, only to find that every door was shut, and that the servants were resting.
