My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497

“Mr. Nolan, your joke is not funny.” Jared put on a serious front befitting that of the president of Centennial Healthcare. “Even we can’t find the solution for the poison, let alone you.”

“Jared, do I look like someone who likes to joke around?” Lucas glared at him with cold eyes, his face expressionless.

Jared panicked a bit under the man’s oppressive aura.

Nevertheless, he quickly composed himself. “Mr. Nolan, if you really have a solution, please come inside then.”

With that, he turned and opened the lab’s door.

The eight researchers were intensively conducting the research for the antidote.

Half an hour later, Jared stared at Lucas sorrowfully. “Are you sure about this, Mr. Nolan?”

“Yes,” Lucas replied coldly.

“But Mr. Nolan, you’re strong. If you use this method, I’m afraid you’ll...”

Jared’s whole mind went blank when he learned what Lucas’ method was earlier.

“Jared, if I don’t save her, do you want me to just helplessly watch her... I can’t do that.” Lucas’ face was impassive and his gaze showed that he was resolute in his decision. It wasn’t until he mentioned Ashlyn that a hint of softness flashed across his eyes.

With that, he laid on the research bed as if he were a sculpture.

He stayed unmoved. He did not even blink his eyes.

“But Mr. Nolan...” Jared tried to say something.

“I’ve decided, Jared,” Lucas interrupted. “Stop persuading me. I’ll do anything for Ashlyn. No matter what she wants, I’ll even give up my life for her. I’ve never begged anyone in my life before, but right now, I’m begging you for one thing, Jared.”

Jared stared at him.

Before this, his impression of Lucas was that he was a rich and domineering person. Most of the time, Jared was even enraged by the possessiveness Lucas had towards his boss.
