Hearing Sinclairâs loud voice, Ashlyn twitched her lips. âOutsiders might be enjoying the show, but were you doing the same, Dr. Sinclair?â
Sinclair stiffened. Did she just mock me?
Before he realized what was going on, he saw Ashlyn giving Lucas one last look before heading out.
She slammed the door shut and disappeared from sight.
Her destination was Naomiâs ward.
The netizens and the bystanders back then were merely enjoying the show.
Only those who were involved in the matter would know how tormenting it was.
No one could bear another personâs pain on their behalf.
Back in Lucasâ ward, Sinclair had calmed down. He bore a solemn expression as he said, âLucas, itâs all thanks to your wife that your other personality didnât emerge. You didnât know what happened during the live stream, right? She hugged you and calmed you down. She was the one who woke you up. You should take a look for yourself. Iâve recorded the entire thing on my phone.â
Although Spencer had told Lucas about the incident, and Naomi had recounted how vicious Franklin and Livia were, Lucas didnât manage to see the scene for himself.
Turning to Sinclair beseechingly, he said, âShow it to me.â
Lucas began trembling uncontrollably when an iPhone 11 was placed in his hands.
The video played, portraying the incident clearly.
Lucas had gone crazy and roared like a madman as he rushed out of Naomiâs room. He then injured Franklinâs subordinates and brought harm to the innocent doctors and bystanders.
It was Ashlyn and his brother who did their very best to subdue him and wake him up. He looked like terrifying, but she wasnât afraid at all and hugged him tightly.
As a myriad of conflicting emotions swirled in his heart, he felt a visceral pang of sorrow.
Despite the pained expression on his exquisite face, he seemed moved.
Regret and guilt soon washed over him, and his eyes turned scarily red.
Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and refused to let tears stream down his cheeks.
Sheâs mine. All mine! Ashlyn was sitting on the ground as she hugged him tightly. However, her back was straight, and she looked calm. She took the entire matter into her hands and gained control of the situation swiftly.
Her voice was cool yet authoritative.
It seemed like it could penetrate the screen and send a blow to everyoneâs heart, exploding upon impact.
Thump!
She appeased the restless employees of Nolan Group and stopped millions of netizens from hurling insults at him.
Slowly, the netizens stopped insulting him and began to sympathize with his plight.
She was also bold enough to tender his resignation on behalf of him.
Everyone now knew that she was his wife, Mrs. Nolan.
Alas, he couldnât give her the best that she deserved.
No, Iâll give her the best of everything in the world. Even if she demands the stars and moon, Iâll find a way to get them for her.
Sinclair shook his head in resignation. âMs. Berry is something, huh? Sheâs much prettier in person. No wonder I found her familiar when I saw her earlier. I didnât manage to recognize her, though. She really looks more gorgeous in person!â he lamented. âYouâre a lucky man.â
Without a word, Lucas placed the phone aside and shut his eyes, allowing Ashlynâs words, actions, and expressions to replay in his mind continuously.
Outside Naomiâs ward, the men from Zene Clan were still standing guard.
They greeted Ashlyn politely. âMs. Berry.â
âWeâre family, so drop the formalities,â Ashlyn replied coolly. She pushed the door open and saw Naomi memorizing her lines diligently.
