Ashlyn was having a headache now. “Stop! Shut up! All of you, listen to me.”
The ward fell silent.
After taking a deep breath, she regained her composure. “Winsor, how did you know I was warded?”
“I...” Winsor felt awkward to explain.
“The head nurse is one of your informants, isn’t she?” Ashlyn raised her eyebrows.
“Erm...” Winsor was put in a spot given how he was embarrassingly exposed.
“I hope both of you would not do something like this again,” Ashlyn remarked coldly. Then she turned towards Jared and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I gave you a call which he picked up,” Jared reported.
Ashlyn was annoyed. “I need to rest now. Everyone, please get out.”
The elevator was working fine just now- why did it malfunction all of a sudden?
She had a hunch that there was more to the matter than met the eye.
Therefore, she needed to calm down and gather her thoughts.
Lucas’ heart was aching as she had chased him out again. What he hated most about her was her habit of pushing people close to her away.
It made him feel as if he was a distant yet familiar stranger.
I am a lot more eligible than Jared and Winsor. Way more!
Meanwhile, Tinsor gave Ashlyn a reluctant look before turning his gaze to Winsor. He then tugged at his brother’s sleeve. “Winsor, let’s step out first.”
With so many obstacles, it wasn’t going to be easy for his brother to win her. In fact, he was still far behind the others.
After looking at Ashlyn longingly, he glanced at the other two men. “Hmph, let’s go.”
Jared too followed them out. He reminded, “Call me if you need anything.”
By then, only Lucas was left. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the petite woman on the bed. Finally, he spoke up, “Why do you have claustrophobia?”
Ashlyn was speechless.
What can I say?
He will not believe me even if I tell him the truth
I have claustrophobia just because the Spirogyra gave me one?
