Chapter 649
Even after the effects of the anesthetics wore off, Charlotte continued to bear the pain and never once complained,
no matter how painful it was.
Her eyes had turned red from holding back her tears, but she didn't say a thing. Seeing her suffer made Joseph's
heart ache.
The more time he spent with her, the more he understood her.
Joseph's heart skipped a beat whenever he witnessed her strength, quirkiness, and innocence.
He put down his work and applied for a long leave to especially accompany her. However, it seemed much more
bearable than he imagined.
When Fae ordered him to accompany Charlotte, his immediate response was to refuse her.
However, in the end, he came to the hospital anyway.
Soon, Charlotte finished wolfing down her food. She ate so much that her tummy turned round.
She stroked her bloated belly. Then, she pointed at the exquisite presents on the bedside table and said to Joseph.
“Some of the nurses asked me to pass those to you.”
Frustrated, Joseph placed his hand on his forehead and asked, “You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEver since Charlotte arrived at the hospital, the single nurses who work there would express their love to Joseph
from time to time.
Furthermore, Joseph and Charlotte told them that they were siblings. Thus, in order to get close to Joseph, the
nurses would butter up Charlotte.
Charlotte had never received so much attention before and thought that it was fascinating.
She received so many gifts on Joseph's behalf that her hands hurt.
Joseph put down the fork in his hand and carried the few gift boxes. Then, he pretended to be mad and glared at
Charlotte. “If you continue to receive gifts on my behalf, you'll regret it!”
“Joseph, where are you going?”
“Where else? I'm going to return these gifts!” Joseph replied angrily.
With that, he turned and left the ward.
After a full day of meetings, Ashlyn's body started to ache.
She returned to her room, took a shower, and changed into an all-black outfit.
Just when she was about to leave, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind the curtains and wrapped
around her waist.
The man slowly leaned close to her pink lips, and with his hoarse voice, he teased, “Honey, it's late. Where are you
going?”
Ashlyn immediately felt his warm breath blow into her ear.
He then stroked her earlobe adeptly with his thin lips and sucked it.
Ashlyn's eyes darkened. At that moment, she wanted to punch him. However, the man's hands that had crawled to
her back suddenly pressed down and pulled her toward him.
With that, he aggressively attacked her with a kiss.
He had been wanting to kiss her since that morning.
His kiss was as domineering and wild as it used to be.
After they finished kissing, Ashlyn was overwhelmed by everything that had just happened and started gasping for
air.
On the contrary, Lucas' lips curled into a devious grin.
He hugged Ashlyn and whispered, “Accompany me to a place.”
Then, he led her out of the room with his hand on her waist. Ashlyn didn't even have a chance to reject him.
She was dressed in a black top and black pants. Her hair was casually tied up into a bun, and she was wearing black
flats.
It was as if she wanted to lay low so that she could do something unspeakable.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn't expect Lucas to bring her to a luxuriously furnished conference room.
Ashlyn took a glance around the interior and the other people in the room, and she was stunned.
Then, she looked at Lucas in astonishment.
Lucas grinned as a response. It was as if he could tell what she was thinking.
Two rows of beautiful women dressed in revealing clothes were kneeling before the conference table. It was as if
they were waiting for important guests.
When the women saw the doors open, some that were brave enough winked at them, and some even moved their
bodies to show off their perfect figures.
Ashlyn had always known that Lucas loved to visit money squandering establishments.
However, she didn't expect to witness such a scene in a world-renowned international convention center.
How can they be so brazen?
She frowned and asked, “Were you invited too?”
Lucas wrapped his arm around her thin waist tightly and suddenly pulled her into his arms.
He softly replied, “Yes.”
After that, he pulled out a hyper-realistic mask and directly put it on Ashlyn's face.
