“I want to protect her, but I can only distance myself from her right now. I even dream of being with her all the time. My heart aches whenever I think of this. I really love her a lot. I had never suspected her when Claire died, and I have never thought of seeking revenge on her. I know her the most. How could she kill an innocent woman like Claire? She's a righteous person who would even send help when she encountered an accident. How could such a kind person like her harm Claire? Naomi, I only hope to protect her for the rest of my life. I don't even care if that means I am against the world.”
Naomi was stunned as she stared at the man's handsome face. She could only see his lips moving, but she could not hear anything he said.
I really can't hear anything at all.
Anxious, she uttered, “Lucas, what are you saying? Can you please write them down?”
Meanwhile, Ashlyn, who was outside the door and was about to knock, froze on the spot.
Lucas' low voice continually entered her ears.
Every word he said rang through her eardrum.
He said he loves me. He said he wants to get so strong that nobody can defeat him.
Taking a deep breath, Ashlyn was about to turn and leave when she bumped into a nurse. The nurse was holding a tray as she approached Naomi's ward. She asked curiously, “Dr. Berry, why are you not entering the room?”
“I-I'm not going in.”
With that, Ashlyn turned around and left the scene.
Inside the ward, Lucas was stunned upon hearing her clear voice.
It was a dark and quiet night; neither the stars nor the moon could be observed in the sky.
Ashlyn huddled in her room. Her eyes were wide-opened, and she had difficulty falling asleep.
Suddenly, moonlight streamed into the room. A tall man dressed in black jumped through the window just as a gentle breeze blew by.
Who is it?
Frowning, Ashlyn pretended as if she was sleeping, attempting to let his guard down.
However, she instantly felt a sense of relief when she heard the familiar footsteps.
Lucas? It's late now. What is he doing in Bayview Villa?
Lucas walked to her bed and stared at Ashlyn, who was sleeping soundly.
He only dared to visit her when the night had fallen.
Otherwise, they only seemed like two strangers during the day.
