My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 825

Chapter 825

At that moment, blood had painted Ashlyn's back bright red, making for a ghastly sight.

There was so much blood that it dripped down her clothes.

Her heart was seemingly encased in a bottomless abyss of ice, making her so cold that she shivered. With red-rimmed eyes, she murmured in a hoarse voice, “You know what, Howard? I've always regarded you as my brother. I never expected my brother to die in the end in a bid to save me.”

Then, she turned to Lucas. “He was the traitor, Lucas. He was the mole in Imperial Hotel.”

Ashlyn looked at the handsome man before her aggrievedly.

Snapping, she threw herself into Lucas' warm embrace.

“He has paid the corresponding price. You and Imperial Hotel both mattered to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have carried so many employees to the safety passage.”

Lucas patted her on the back gently, comforting her.

Rumble!

Out of the blue, a deafening rumble sounded from the roof above them.

Lucas lifted his eyes and glanced at the roof that was seconds from collapsing. “We need to leave immediately.”

A loud bang rang out as a piece of charred shingle grazed past Lucas' shoulder and smashed onto the ground hard.

Hugging Ashlyn, he spun around and ducked.

Alas, that gigantic piece of shingle separated Howard from them.

“Howard!” Ashlyn cried out.

She wanted to sprint over and take Howard's body away.

Unfortunately, the entire building shook, on the verge of collapse.

Yanking her back, Lucas scooped her up. “Let's go! We must leave right now!”

“Bring him along, Lucas! Bring him with us!” Ashlyn gazed at him pleadingly. Clenching his jaw, Lucas was just about to leap over when a huge piece of crumbling wall fell from above.

It blocked his path off completely.

Just then, Luigi started urging from the rescue helicopter outside the window, “Come on, Boss!”

“Come on! You'll die otherwise!”

Ashlyn stared at Howard's cold body with red-rimmed eyes.
