My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536

As Lucas spoke, his heart ached.

He suddenly understood why Ashlyn didn’t tell him about her getting poisoned.

It felt awful to hide something from a loved one so that she wouldn’t worry about you.

Even when they knew the other person was lying, they just couldn’t bear to expose the lie.

Both of them were doing the best for each other but pretended not to care.

He closed his eyes and tightened his arms around her.

“You lost weight too.”

Of course she had lost weight.

When she started taking the antidote, she coughed up so much blood every day that her body grew weaker.

The sight of her suffering broke Lucas’ heart.

How he wished he could take her place and bear the pain for her.

In fact, he only came last night to give her a hug before leaving, but he couldn’t resist her advances and made love to her.

This woman will be the death of me.

Forget it. I’ll do my best to hide it from her. She’ll never find out.

The next morning, Ashlyn sneaked into the bathroom and took two antidotes when Lucas wasn’t noticing.

When she walked out, Lucas was putting on his clothes.

“Did you arrange for Blair and Tinsor to start their internship in Haddock Group?” Lucas buttoned up his cufflinks and asked her in his low and sultry voice.

Ashlyn felt her ears burning as she nodded. “They have nothing else to do anyway. Their summer break is approaching, so I decided to send them to Haddock Group.”

There were several other fresh graduates who started their internship together in Haddock Group.

“Why are you so interested in Haddock Group?” Lucas suddenly changed the topic, gazing at her sharply.

Ashlyn’s browed arched up. “Because some of them are too despicable.”

Following that, her rosy lips curved into a smile. “Why? Are you going to report me? What are you going to do? But I’ve heard that Haddock Group and Nolan Group are rivals. Are you sure you want to support Dixon?”
