Lucasâ expression instantly changed as it got colder tenfold. âJared, I donât need your opinion on whatever happens between her and me.â
Jaredâs face darkened after hearing that. âLucas, everything about her isnât your business!â
Ad interim, Hera attached her ear to the door to eavesdrop on their conversation. Her lips twitched in dissatisfaction when she heard them arguing about the other woman.
I hope she doesnât wake up. I wish sheâll stay like this for the rest of her life without anyone caring for her at all. Ashlyn, please donât wake up!
She silently and harshly cursed her.
âJared, donât be so full of yourself just because youâre living under the same roof as her,â Lucas sneered. âWe donât need you here. Leave.â
âIâll always stay with her. Itâs not like sheâs your private property. What right do you have?â Jared refuted.
Theyâre already divorced but heâs still so clingy to boss. He has been with her for days now. Even so, he still couldnât protect her. I really doubt this manâs strength now. Those who canât protect her shouldnât be with her!
When the men were endlessly quarreling in the ward, Winsor Jaquin and Tinsor Jaquin rushed to the hospital.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator and got Ashlynâs room number, they ran like they were running for their lives.
When they were nearing, the first thing they saw was Hera eavesdropping through the door.
Winsor glanced at her in disdain. âExcuse me, Ms. Chapman.â
Hera was listening seriously to the quarrel of both the presidents over the other woman. Her nails almost broke in jealousy as she pressed them against the door.
When she was lost in the immense hatred and jealousy, a sudden disdainful voice rang above her head.
âAh!â she yelled in shock.
She stumbled back in her high-heels and accidentally knocked the back of her head on the door, creating a loud sound.
The pain made her see stars.
âOuch!â She grabbed her head and gritted her teeth in pain. She did not look like a high-level socialite at all. At this moment, she could care less about her image.
She felt as if a bump was going to form on the hit spot on the back of her head.
Tears burst out from her eyes at the immense pain.
She was embarrassed to have been caught eavesdropping, but the embarrassment could not top the pain she felt.
It hurts so bad!
Jared went to open the door after hearing the commotion outside. The sight of Hera, who had tears in her eyes, was the first scene that greeted him.
Winsor held the bouquet of gypsophila as he stared at Jared. âWhat are you doing in my goddessâ
room?â he asked angrily.
âYeah! What are you doing in our goddessâ room!â repeated Tinsor, trying to show the power that he never had.
He had always been a supportive of the relationship between his brother and Ashlyn.
He could never forget the scene of Ashlyn rescuing Naomi Nolan and Blair Nolan.
Winsor and Ashlyn are meant to be! Nobody can covet the goddess!
âTsk,â Jared snickered as he stared at the siblings before letting them in.
He then looked at Lucas as if something interesting was about to transpire.
On the other hand, Hera thought she was also invited in. She couldnât wait to whine to Lucas about her injury to get his sympathy.
However, when she had only taken one step, the door was slammed shut right in front of her again, just like it did earlier.
Tinsor was the one who had slammed the door fiercely. Why are there so many people here? Darn! Mr.
Nolanâs here too! He didnât notice how hard he had shut the door, for he was lost in his own thoughts.
This time, the door hit Heraâs nose that she felt like it almost broke.
âAh! It hurts!â she cried in pain.
It freaking hurts! I feel like my nose is about to fall off!
Hera raised her hand to rub her nose. âBlood!â She stared at the red liquid on her palm in shock. Her eyes rolled back as she almost fainted.
Luckily, a nurse passing by noticed her, and she quickly held her. âAre you okay, miss? Your nose is bleeding.â
