My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 589

Chapter 589

Suddenly, Lucas felt as if an invisible pair of hands were strangling him by the throat.

As he began to palpitate, his breathing hastened.

He looked at Claire in disbelief. “Ashlyn won’t harm you. She definitely won’t!”

“Don’t you believe me? I’m at my deathbed, so why would I slander her?”

Claire’s breathing suddenly became rapid. “Avenge me! Lucas!”

With that, her eyes widened in shock before her hands fell limp.

Lucas’ heart sank. “Claire, don’t worry, I will avenge you.”

I’ll seek out your enemy, but it definitely isn’t Ashlyn.

Meanwhile, after leaving the private room, Ashlyn began to worry as Claire was someone who had a serious heart condition. If something happened to her, it would be difficult for her to explain herself.

After driving for some distance, she turned her car around.

When she arrived at the café’s entrance, she saw an ambulance accelerating away.

Ashlyn was shocked. Winding down her car window, she asked one of the waiters who was still outside, “Is someone hurt?”

“A lady had a heart attack. Luckily, the First Hospital is nearby though I’m not sure if she can be saved.”

Ashlyn’s heart sank.

Flooring the accelerator, she drove in the direction of where the ambulance was heading.

She quickly found out from her colleagues in the hospital which ICU Claire was in and headed there immediately.

Just when she arrived, she overheard what Lucas said to Claire.

Frowning, all she could feel was a chill down her spine.

Did I trigger Claire’s heart attack when I didn’t promise to break up with Lucas?

Meanwhile, she could clearly hear the cries of anguish from Naomi and Blair.

Lucas suppressed his emotions but his reddened eyes betrayed what he was feeling. Claire…

Another sister left him and yet there was nothing he could do to save her.

As the doctor came forward to check Claire’s pulse, he reported solemnly, “Ms. Nolan is no longer with us.”

She’s gone… Her life had barely just begun. She was young, talented, and a promising researcher… She had just returned from overseas and to the Nolan family.

Lucas stood frozen.

He felt as if his heart was struck by a sledgehammer as darkness covered his eyes.

For a long while, he didn’t dare to breath.

What he took in didn’t feel like air, it felt like thousands of sharp arrows had pierced through his body. It was so painful that his whole body trembled.

Enduring the pain, he couldn’t help but close his eyes as his lips turned pale. Naomi and Blair are still young. I have to keep it together for their sake.

He slowly reached out his hand and held Claire’s cheeks which were gradually turning cold. Despite his reddened eyes, there was no sign of tears.

At that moment, Ashlyn was standing at the door. She hated this kind of scene. How could Claire die just like that?

She felt as if she was caught in an invisible giant web. There was no way she could escape. When we met up earlier, Claire looked emotional but was largely calm.

After some time, a nurse arrived and pushed Claire out towards the morgue.

Naomi and Blair ran out in tears and were stunned to see Ashlyn there.

As if they saw a pillar to lean on, both of them threw themselves at her. “Ashlyn, Claire is gone! We only have Lucas and you left.”

As she awkwardly hugged the both of them, her mind was in a chaos.

Lucas had previously announced to the public that he was Naomi and Blair’s step-brother from a different mother. But now, it appeared that he wasn’t even a Nolan at all.

Where did he come from? Why did Claire die so suddenly? When she had a heart attack a few days ago, didn’t the doctor say that she would be fine after getting some rest?

Her brain was in a mess.

Meanwhile, Lucas walked towards her with heavy footsteps.
