My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498

She wanted to live, but she was also not afraid of death. Her only concerns lie with Lucas.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to see him anymore.

Her heart ached when she thought of them being separated by death.

I never got the chance to tell him how I really feel for him. Well, I think it’s best not to tell him. We can never be together anyway. All I’m going to give him is sadness.

“The more you tried to put on a strong front, the more my heart aches for you.” Jared could not help but embrace her.

Ashlyn stayed silent as she froze in his arms.

This was the first time Jared had hugged her despite knowing each other for years.

Other than Lucas, she was not quite used to other men hugging her.

“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely save you. The research already has a preliminary result. We’re still on the experimental stage, though.”

His words instantly broke the heavy atmosphere.

Ashlyn’s eyes lit up. “Really? Let me in then. I want to see for myself.”

The dying embers of hope that she felt flickered into life once again.

She had been mentally preparing to accept death, so she did not expect the turn of events.

Meanwhile, inside the lab, the man’s face was covered with sweat, and the pain was evident behind his dark eyes.

The researchers looked at him worriedly. “Are you okay, Mr. Nolan?”

“Continue,” he replied with a hoarse voice as beads of sweat rolled down his temples. “Don’t worry about me.”

The blood gurgled out of his chest and was sucked into a thick tube.

He could see the blood being drawn away from his body bit by bit.

He could even hear the voices of Jared and Ashlyn outside, and it hurt him when he heard how strong his woman sounded.

He would give anything in the world to run out to hug her tightly and tell her that she could lose the tough front with him around.
