My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 698

“You don’t have to say anything or try to comfort me.” Ashlyn let out a sigh. “Do you have some meds? I need a good rest.”

Without hesitation, Jared offered her two sleeping pills, which he had prepared earlier.

Ashlyn swallowed them all at once and took two sips of water before saying, “Tell the kitchen to prepare some handmade noodles tomorrow. I shall cook some noodles for everyone.”

Caught by surprise, Jared rubbed his hands together. “Boss, you must be exhausted. There’s no need to do that.”

The next morning, Jared watched as Ashlyn filled a thermal food jars with noodles before leaving the rest to him, Harrison, and Anderson.

Comprehension dawned upon Jared instantly.

Turns out she cooked extra while she was at it for Harrison, Anderson, and me. The person whom she cooked the noodles for is in the hospital.

Half an hour later, Ashlyn walked into the inpatient department of the hospital with her thermal food jars.

Soon, she arrived outside Lucas’ ward and gave Spencer a call. “Are you inside? Come out and get the noodles,” she said.

At once, Spencer opened the door.

In fact, Ashlyn wanted to spend the night in the hospital. But after pondering over the matter, she realized she couldn’t decide on using which identity to face him.

To her shock, a woman appeared behind Spencer.

The tall woman was clad in a classic Ctene’s suit, and her wavy hair cascaded down her back.

With her delicate features, she looked as elegant as a socialite.

Ashlyn gripped the thermal food jars in her hands as she stared at Jenny, who had shown up here suddenly.

Flashing a smile, Jenny said, “Ms. Berry, fancy seeing you here! I can’t believe you brought noodles for Mr. Nolan too. What a coincidence. I also brought noodles I made myself! It was Mrs. Nolan who told me to come.”

Instead of replying to her, Ashlyn offered one of the thermal food jars to Spencer and asked indifferently, “This is for Lucas. Has he regained consciousness?”

“Not yet, but the doctor said he’ll be awake soon,” Spencer replied helplessly.

Early this morning, Jenny showed up and claimed that Franklin wanted to arrange a marriage of convenience between both families and that she would be the future Mrs. Nolan. Thus, Ashlyn was nothing more than a mistress, or so she said.

The Holt family might be wealthy, but it was still far behind compared to the Nolan family.

Hence, the Holt family was naturally elated after Franklin suggested a marriage of convenience between both families.

When Jenny heard Ashlyn handing in the resignation on behalf of Lucas, she burst into noisy tears and wept bitterly.

Last night, Franklin and Livia extended an invitation for the Holts to join them for dinner.

That was why Jenny’s mood did a one-eighty, and she barged into the ward early in the morning to stake her claim that she was Mrs. Nolan.

After working for years at South Star Airlines, she finally got what she wanted.

On the other hand, Ashlyn was unfazed after seeing her smug expression.

She simply spun on her heels and stalked toward Naomi’s ward.

Jenny had prepared a long speech to mock Ashlyn but was forced to swallow her words.

It felt like she was throwing punches into the air, and she was extremely aggrieved.

After all, she assumed she could provoke Ashlyn and flaunt her new status around.

Alas, she could only shoot Ashlyn a scornful glare and stomp her feet irritatedly.

Meanwhile, Blair opened the thermal food jar in Naomi’s ward. “It smells great. You’re an amazing chef, Ashlyn!” He didn’t hold back on his praises.

After spending a night in the hospital, Naomi had gotten better.

She lifted her head to look at Ashlyn, her lashes fluttering under the glaring light of the hospital. “Thank you, Ashlyn.”

Ashlyn forced a smile at the sight of her haggard face. “Eat up. The noodles will get soggy soon,” she said gently.

“All right.” Naomi nodded weakly and dug in.

Meanwhile, Lucas roused in his ward.

He woke up the moment his nose detected the familiar aroma of the noodles. Ashlyn made noodles, and they smell amazing. My stomach is protesting.

Before Spencer could say anything, Jenny ran to Lucas’ bed after he opened his eyes and asked earnestly, “Mr. Nolan, I brought you breakfast. Do you want to try some?”
