Meanwhile, in the ER.
Lucas didn’t seem to mind the simple dinner as he said, “Please... stay with me.”
Ashlyn sat down in front of him and sighed. Thank God he didn’t ask me to feed him.
“Lucas Nolan, you’re not a kid. You should be able to eat even without my company, right?”
The famished man with a poor appetite nodded as a reply. “Yeah.”
My appetite is coming back to me because she’s here.
I suddenly feel like eating again.
The man picked up the cutlery slowly and cut into the fish elegantly.
It was a very simple meal, but the way he carried himself throughout the meal made it seem like he was in a fancy restaurant.
He ate slowly because his empty stomach couldn’t take a lot of food at once.
His stomach ached slightly, but he ignored it.
Half an hour later, Lucas finished his meal, so Ashlyn stood up and declared, “I’m leaving. Go home.”
Lucas, on the other hand, stared at the bed in the ER and proclaimed, “I want to sleep.”
Ashlyn was perplexed. “Sleep?”
She then pointed at the narrow bed and asked, “Are you sure?”
The man nodded and stood up abruptly. With a healthy stride, he went and lay down on the bed. “Sleep with me for two hours.”
Ashlyn was utterly stunned when she saw the man whose legs were dangling from the bed that was way too short for him.
Has Lucas gone insane?
Is he really gonna sleep on the bed in the ER?
But there’s nothing on it, not even a blanket!
Is he not afraid of catching a cold?
Gosh. Lucas really is sick in his head!
She shuffled toward the door quietly and waved to Spencer.
Spencer hurried to her as she opened the door slightly to show him what was inside the room.
The sight that greeted Spencer was his commanding and powerful boss lying down on the threadbare bed.
