Chapter 204
With her face already pale, she reached for her phone on the bedside table.
At the same time, she forced herself to endure the pain from her bones. When her hand almost touched her
phone, there was a sudden bang.
She had fallen from the bed onto the floor.
It hurts!
Every cell in her body was screaming out in agony.
Despite how resolute and high her tolerance for pain was, she was already covered in sweat and her body was very
weak. Nevertheless, she struggled towards the phone to call Jared.
However, she no longer had any strength left to move.
All she could do was sprawl on the floor, panting heavily.
Suddenly, the door flung open. By the time Jared barged in, Ashlyn’s life was already hanging by a thread and she
had lost consciousness.
“Boss! Boss!” Jared shouted.
Shocked to see her in that condition, his mind drew a blank.
Without any delay, he carried her back up onto the bed. “Boss, what’s wrong? Damn it! Is the poison acting up
again?”
He recalled that the same terrible situation had occurred many times four years ago.
It wasn’t until Ashlyn got married that it stopped.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn tried her best to open her tired eyes and meekly muttered, “I... I...”
At that moment, the excruciating pain felt like millions of worms tearing into her bones gruesomely, swallowing her

Her eyes gradually shut as she fell into a dark abyss of nothingness.
“Damn it!”
Hasn’t the Spirogyra’s poison stopped attacking her?
Why is it acting up again?
Nightfall.
Ashlyn gradually opened her eyes. The cold sensation that had enveloped her had disappeared without a trace.
Is the Spirogyra’s attack over?
As she helped herself up, she felt as light as a feather, compared to being bogged down by a thousand pounds
during the attack.
Also, her mind had recovered from the daze.
When she sighed in relief to know that she had survived the attack, she suddenly heard a deep voice beside her.
“You’re awake?”
Ashlyn was speechless when she heard the familiar voice- gruff and magnetic.
Who else could it be other than Lucas?
As she looked towards where the voice was coming from, she saw him on the bed, with his chiseled features and
tall nose.
His lips broadened into a smile while his dark eyes had a fearsome glow to them.
Amidst this intensity, he emitted a devilish charm.
No matter where or when, he was so handsome that girls would scream and spread their legs for him.
What was most shocking to her was that he was hugging her. With one hand around her waist, he held her in his
embrace.
The moment Ashlyn started to speak, she could feel the giddiness return. “Why are you here?”
“I want to know- how much do you really need me?” Lucas looked at her inquisitively.
“Domn it!”

The moment Ashlyn storted to speok, she could feel the giddiness return. “Why ore you here?”
“I wont to know- how much do you reolly need me?” Lucos looked ot her inquisitively.
Jared had anxiously called him to say that Ashlyn was in grave danger, and that he had to come immediately.
However, after he arrived, he realized that she was just fine and was sleeping instead.
Other than being drenched in sweat, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Ashlyn gritted her teeth when she realized the reason she was awake was that Lucas was here.
She was sure that it was the busybody Jared who had called Lucas to come.
Meanwhile, she had no strength left to swear and only felt as if she could die anytime.
Using her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead, she realized her whole body was sticky with sweat and it felt
extremely uncomfortable.
“I’m going to bathe, you suit yourself.”
“What’s going on?” Lucas wasn’t a fool.
The whole incident was extremely strange.
Isn’t Jared competing with me to vie for her attention? Why did he still call me here to see Ashlyn?
He knew Jared wasn’t pretending when he sounded anxious over the phone.
Why is Ashlyn drenched in so much sweat?
And why did she seem alright when he arrived, waking up within a matter of minutes?
There were just too many unanswered questions.
“Nothing much, maybe Jared is just playing a prank on you. He has a lot of free time after all,” Ashlyn replied
casually.
With that, she took a new pair of pajamas and went into the bathroom.
