My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 308

It took her some time to return to her usual self, declining in a croaky voice, “That won’t be necessary…”

She had denied the man’s offer because she had the capability to take her grandmother in as well.

After all, she was an influential and wealthy woman who possessed properties, cars, businesses, yielding influences over her underlings. In short, she didn’t have to rely on others.

Although she was touched by the man’s words, she had no intention of giving in to his suggestion because she didn’t want to owe him any favors.

“Why are you here?” Ashlyn turned around and asked, avoiding the man’s gaze in an attempt to divert the man’s attention.

Lucas looked at Ashlyn quietly, recalling the purpose of his visit.

Initially, he had dropped by because he wanted to keep her to himself in the emergency room once again.

He had planned to get the director to get Ashlyn over to tend to him once he reached the hospital but came across the feud Ashlyn was involved in as soon as he reached the emergency room.

Nonetheless, Lucas was certain fate must have had brought him to her because he showed up when she needed him the most.

Therefore, he was in a very good mood. It was obvious as it was written all over his face.

“My friend has been hospitalized. His name is Joseph. I believe you have run into him back in the day,” Lucas made use of his friends and lied to Ashlyn.

“What’s wrong with him?” Ashlyn asked as she raised her eyebrow.

“I think he has caught a cold or something. Actually, I’m not sure what’s wrong with him either, but he insists on checking in to the hospital.” Lucas could be considered a veteran con artist because he didn’t even flinch while telling a lie.

He would never admit he had dropped by the hospital because he wanted to spend some time with her again.

“If that’s the case, I’ll drop by and check on him. Where is his ward?” Ashlyn got up from her seat while she asked him.

Lucas just reached for his phone as he replied calmly, “I have no idea. Let me ask Spencer.”

Meanwhile, in a random ward on the fifth floor of the hospital.

Joseph, who was rendered speechless by Lucas’ absurd request, asked, “What is this so-called emergency? Why the hell does he need a so-called patient out of the blue?”

“That’s not the point, sir! I’m sure Mr. Nolan has proven his sincerity, right? Look! He has reserved the whole floor for you!” Spencer explained, tucking Joseph in. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“I don’t need him to prove his sincerity in such a way…” Joseph was rendered speechless by Spencer’s reply as well.

Since he was a perfectly healthy and normal man, he couldn’t figure out the reason Lucas had gotten him over to play sick out of the blue.

“Mr. Nolan will grant you three days’ worth of leaves if you’re able to put on a great show according to his request. Apart from that, he’ll get you the latest set of fishing equipment too.”

“Really?” Joseph got worked up all of a sudden because he had been longing for the latest set of fishing equipment for quite some time, but he couldn’t bring himself to purchase it since it was quite expensive.

To begin with, the Field family was never a filthy rich family. Instead, they had always been referred to as the most disciplined ones amongst those from the upper echelon.

Hence, Joseph wouldn’t allow such a golden opportunity to slip by his side since the ‘filthy rich’ had offered to them for him as a gift.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard as someone approached the ward. Immediately, Joseph pretended to be sick, coughing consecutively.

Lucas knocked on the door once they reached the doorstep of the ward. Spencer played along, rushing over to answer the door instantly. “Mr. Nolan, Ms. Berry.”

Ashlyn nodded in return. She turned around to ask Joseph, who was on the bed, “Why didn’t you get in touch with me beforehand?”

Cough… Cough… Cough…

He coughed intensely once again before replying, “I don’t think it’s necessary to trouble you because it’s not a big deal either… I’m sure I’ll recover in no time…”

“Mr. Field, has the nurse dropped by to change the fluid? What sort of fluid is involved in your treatment plan?” Ashlyn stared at the man whose face reddened due to the intense cough, asking with a straight

face. Joseph’s mind was all over the place all of a sudden because he had no idea what Ashlyn was talking about since no fluid was involved as he wasn’t sick.

Thankfully, he managed to make something up in the nick of time, stating, “I’m not sure either. I think it’s the one for anti-inflammatory purposes?”

“Since IV therapy is part of your treatment plan, why ain’t the back of your hand pricked by needles then?” Ashlyn removed the man’s blanket, exposing his hand, asking callously, “Why don’t you tell me what exactly Lucas and you are up to?”

Damn it! There goes my latest set of fishing equipment!

Since Ashlyn managed to see right through his act, the only thing Joseph cared about was the latest set of fishing equipment Lucas had promised him.

Once Ashlyn exposed their plan, she glared at Lucas before leaving the ward.

Lucas strode over, going after Ashlyn immediately, “Honey, listen to me…”

“What is this about? Are you trying to fool me with your friend?” Ashlyn asked with a poker face.

Lucas couldn’t tell her emotions apart, but he held on to her wrist, explaining himself, “Listen to me! I didn’t mean it either… I-I have dropped by the hospital to visit you because I missed you a lot…”

“You know what? It doesn’t really matter what you’re up to because I can’t tell if you’re lying to me or not. It has nothing to do with me either.” Ashlyn shrugged Lucas off and left.

“I was going to drop by the emergency room and get you to tend to me in a similar manner as my last visit. However, I ran into you being in a nasty situation…” Lucas explained himself anxiously.
