Ashlyn and Lucas hastily exchanged glances.
Earlier, when the old lady claimed that her son was the president, everyone thought she was spouting nonsense.
Now, however, the truth had been laid bare before their eyes.
Wow. It looks like she wasn't lying. This man does seem to be the real deal... He's the president!
“I don't care. You'd better get married right away,” the old lady retorted before pointing at Ashlyn. “I think she'd be a good choice. She's beautiful, kind-hearted, and treats me well! I want her to be my daughter-in-law.”
Ashlyn didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but before she could say anything, she felt a large hand pulling her into an embrace.
“Ma'am, she's my wife...” Lucas uttered, a tinge of nervousness in his voice. “Therefore, she can't marry the president. Please don't try to play matchmaker!”
When the president finally noticed the young couple in the ward, he was instantly bowled over by their looks.
What a match made in heaven! That woman's beautiful beyond measure, and the man's extraordinarily handsome. Hmm... I did receive news that it was a man and woman who sent Mom to the hospital...
The president scrutinized the young couple before him and raised his thick brows.
He knew not everyone could remain calm and composed under his intimidating gaze, so he couldn't help but look at Lucas and Ashlyn with newfound respect.
My face appears on television almost every day, so I'm sure they know who I am. Even then, they're still so poised and collected. I had assumed my mother's savior would demand a king's ransom or something ridiculous upon discovering my identity...
Meanwhile, Ashlyn silently observed the president, and there was undoubtedly a domineering air around him.
Lucas curled his lips into a polite smile. “Mr. President, it seems like your mother is very lonely. As you know, elderly people like her need companionship, so please don't neglect her mental health despite your busy schedule...”
Upon hearing that, the president almost burst into laughter. Ha! Are they trying to advise me? “You know I'm the president, yet you still dare speak to me in that tone?”
“We haven't broken any laws, so why can't we talk to you like this?” Ashlyn said evenly.
