My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 577

Dr. Berry, what a coincidence.” Lucas’ eyes casually landed on her, but there was an inscrutable feeling in his gaze.

I miss her so much till my heart aches for her.

And she still has the heart to ask why?

However, Ashlyn did not believe a word he said. “Mr. Chapman is awake, so I’m here to check on him.”

“I see. Let’s go together then.”

Ding! The elevator door opened again.

Ashlyn stepped out of the elevator first and headed toward Bob’s ward.

As she was approaching the ward, she could hear Sisley’s voice from afar.

“What do you mean? Isn’t this a hospital? Why won’t you let us see him?”

“We have to see him now since he’s awake.”

“Is this a jail or something?”

“You’re unreasonable!”

Ashlyn strode over to them and saw a few nurses stopping Sisley and Hera from entering the ward.

With brows knitted together, Ashlyn’s ivory skin glowed beautifully under the light in the corridor. “What’s the matter?”

“Dr. Berry, finally, you’re here.” The nurses hurriedly walked over to her as if she was their savior. “They want to barge in to the ward.”

“You may leave now. I’ll handle this.” Ashlyn said with a poker face.

Sisley’s gaze was full of hostility as she glared at Ashlyn. She pointed at Ashlyn and said, “Are you the one who restricts us from going in?”

“Mrs. Chapman.” Ashlyn eyed her proud and shrewish face speculatively, sneering at her, “Mr. Chapman’s very weak now, and his health condition doesn’t allow him to have any visitor. He’s old and has multiple fractures. But you’re here making so much noise. Do you really care about him?”

Sisley felt guilty at Ashlyn’s words and simmered down a little.

Nonetheless, she maintained a pompous expression while demanding, “I don’t care. I must visit my dad and make sure that he’s fine, or else I won’t be at peace.”

Meanwhile, Hera remained quiet beside Sisley. The scene of Ashlyn and Richard standing together at The Peacock kept replaying in her mind.

What a slut. Why is she trying to seduce Lucas when she already has Richard?

Sister, my ass…

Does it give them more pleasure in bed to call each other brother and sister?

The more she dwelled on her thoughts, the angrier she got.

No, I have to dig up dirt on Ashlyn soon.

Right then, Ashlyn and another attending doctor went in and examined Bob.

Fortunately, Bob had a strong will to survive. When he saw Ashlyn come in, his cloudy eyes lit up, waving at her. His lips moved, but he could not make a sound.

After trying several times, he used all his might and finally murmured, “Girl…”

Looking at this elderly man in his seventies, Ashlyn held his bony and wrinkly hand while saying softly, “Mr. Chapman, please don’t worry about anything, and rest well. I don’t know why you came looking for me the other day, but nothing is more important than your health. We’ll talk about it when you recover.”

Bob was badly injured. Even if he took good care of his body, he would not recuperate completely, and there would surely be some after-effects.

And since both his legs were broken, he had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Luckily, he did not have any concussion.

Ashlyn’s voice sounded soothing in Bob’s ears, and he felt comforted.

Feeling exhausted, he slowly closed his eyes and went into a deep sleep.

When Ashlyn came out of the ward, she saw Hera pestering Lucas.

The man leaned his slender body against the wall with one hand in his pocket while the other holding his phone. He was staring blankly at the screen with an expressionless face.

In the meantime, the woman in high heels gazed up at Lucas with eyes full of affection.

“It’s been a while since I last had a hot pot. And I haven’t met you for a long time, Lucas. Why don’t we go for hotpot later?”
