Lucas had a poker face while staring at her with an unfathomable gaze. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
Hera became anxious, and tears started pooling in her eyes. “I know I might have done something to change your perception of me. But, for Grandpa's sake, can you please show up? I believe I'll win the first prize if you're there.”
She stared at Lucas intensely with a look full of anticipation and desire as she said that earnestly with a pitiful tone.
The atmosphere in the ward was a little awkward at that time.
Just as Hera thought Lucas would not accept her invitation, he stretched out his long, slender hand and took the ticket. “I'll be there.”
Hera widened her eyes in disbelief. The tears that had been swimming in her eyes began rolling down her cheeks. She was unsure if it was due to her earlier aggrievance or her current state of excitement.
Hera then turned to look at Bob and sounded surprised as she said, “Grandpa, he agreed!”
Bob's face was still pale at that time. He did not look excited like Hera. Instead, he just thanked Lucas faintly, “Thank you, Mr. Nolan.”
“You're welcome, Mr. Chapman.” With that said, Lucas nodded to Bob before turning and leaving.
Spencer observed Lucas closely when he walked out of the ward. She asked in confusion, “Mr. Nolan, you know about Ms. Chapman's real identity. Why did you...”
A hint of mockery flashed across Lucas' eyes. “Ashlyn will attend the International Piano Competition for sure. How can I not be there when she's there?”
He fixed his gaze on the ticket, snorted, and flicked his fingers when he walked past a trash can.
With that, the ticket fell into the trash can.
He did not need Hera's ticket even if he wanted to attend the event.
Ashlyn and Naomi wandered around eating different kinds of food. They then went back to the hotel after enjoying the food.
On top of that, they also brought some snacks for Greg and Jonathan.
Naomi's mood had lightened significantly after having fun with Ashlyn.
