Ashlyn looked terrible and was a little pale, but she was strangely energetic.
It was already past midnight, but she couldn’t seem to sleep.
Mom is still alive. She didn’t get in a car crash and was sold instead. Horace lied to me! What about my baby sister, though? Was she sold too?
Ashlyn thought about how her mother and sister might be suffering at that moment.
They might be hidden and are being tortured right now! Ashlyn felt like she might lose control of her emotions when she thought about all that.
She was tempted to destroy everything in sight.
She took a deep breath and suppressed all the negative feelings inside her.
N-no, that can’t be it. Mom and sis are happy right now. They must be leading a good life... Stop overthinking this. Just stop overthinking it!
Ashlyn laid on the bed and kept comforting and lying to herself.
Before she knew it, she had closed her eyes, and it was almost noon when she woke up.
She picked up her phone to check the time. That was when she noticed the number of missed calls.
Some were from the hospital, while the others were from Lucas.
Ashlyn sent a reply to the hospital but ignored Lucas’ texts.
She freshened up before driving to the hospital.
She parked her car, when suddenly...
“Wow, that guy is so handsome and cool!”
Ashlyn hadn’t even gotten out of the car before an exaggerated shriek surprised her.
She blinked and traced the gaze of the shrieking stranger.
That was when she saw several black Bentleys parked by the hospital’s entrance. That sight exuded power and could stun anyone.
Over ten security guards got out of the car and marched uniformly to form two lines. It looked like they were trained.
The door to the Bentley in the middle was opened, and a few men in tuxedos walked out of it.
Ashlyn’s gaze fell onto the man that led everyone.
