Suddenly, Lucas felt as if an invisible pair of hands were strangling him by the throat.
As he began to palpitate, his breathing hastened.
He looked at Claire in disbelief. “Ashlyn won’t harm you. She definitely won’t!”
“Don’t you believe me? I’m at my deathbed, so why would I slander her?”
Claire’s breathing suddenly became rapid. “Avenge me! Lucas!”
With that, her eyes widened in shock before her hands fell limp.
Lucas’ heart sank. “Claire, don’t worry, I will avenge you.”
I’ll seek out your enemy, but it definitely isn’t Ashlyn.
Meanwhile, after leaving the private room, Ashlyn began to worry as Claire was someone who had a serious heart condition. If something happened to her, it would be difficult for her to explain herself.
After driving for some distance, she turned her car around.
When she arrived at the café’s entrance, she saw an ambulance accelerating away.
Ashlyn was shocked. Winding down her car window, she asked one of the waiters who was still outside, “Is someone hurt?”
“A lady had a heart attack. Luckily, the First Hospital is nearby though I’m not sure if she can be saved.”
Ashlyn’s heart sank.
Flooring the accelerator, she drove in the direction of where the ambulance was heading.
She quickly found out from her colleagues in the hospital which ICU Claire was in and headed there immediately.
Suddenly, Lucas felt as if an invisible pair of hands were strangling him by the throat.
Just when she arrived, she overheard what Lucas said to Claire.
Frowning, all she could feel was a chill down her spine.
Did I trigger Claire’s heart attack when I didn’t promise to break up with Lucas?
Meanwhile, she could clearly hear the cries of anguish from Naomi and Blair.
