Once she finished her meal, she wiped her mouth clean with the napkin and walked out of the dining hall thereafter.
Lucas cast his utensils aside and went after Ashlyn immediately.
Similarly, Spencer went after Lucas the moment he left, grabbing another croissant on his way out of the dining hall.
A strong man in black stood in front of the Range Rover on the car porch. The moment he saw Ashlyn, he greeted, “Ms. Berry, I’ll be your driver for the day.”
“That won’t be necessary because I’ll be driving today.” Ashlyn took a peek at her watch and noticed she was slightly behind her schedule as she had woken up later than usual due to Lucas.
If she couldn’t make it to the hospital in time, her surgery would be delayed. Consequently, her agenda for the rest of the day would be delayed in a similar manner.
Lucas approached her in a domineering manner, offering, “I’ll give you a ride.”
“You should stop wasting my precious time!” Ashlyn replied callously, opening the door of the car as she was about to make her way into the driver’s seat.
Lucas frowned and stopped her, holding on to her arm with his gigantic palm once again, asking anxiously, “Are you sure you know how to drive?”
“Why does it sound like you’re shocked? Oh! I guess it makes sense that you do not know me that well since I’m merely your ex-wife.” Ashlyn’s gorgeous face glowed as the bright sun illuminated and highlighted her great features.
“Aren’t you in a hurry?” Lucas asked, pointing at top of the apartment. “I have my private helicopter with me. I’m pretty sure we’ll make it to your destination in time.”
Ashlyn narrowed her eyes in return, but the man was aware of what she had in mind since they had been husband and wife for the span of four years in the past.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” Lucas held on to Ashlyn’s wrist and brought her along with him, walking towards the apartment together.
Once they reached, they walked into the elevator and made their way to the highest floor.
They saw Lucas’ private helicopter the moment they walked out of the stairs leading to the highest floor.
Lucas piloted the helicopter from the apartment to the hospital.
Halfway through the journey to the hospital, Ashlyn received a call from the hospital’s director, asking, “Dr. Berry, where are you?”
“I’m five minutes away, Sir. I’ll definitely show up in the operating theater on time,” Ashlyn assured the hospital’s director in a serious tone.
The hospital’s director felt a sense of relief the moment he heard Ashlyn’s words.
Immediately, the director turned around, telling Mr. Chapman, “Sir, Dr. Berry will be here soon. She’s an extremely skilled surgeon. If it weren’t because I have requested...”
