My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 195
“Honey? Honey?”
Ashlyn’s hands shook even more violently. She was already too lost in her own world.
Her lips were getting paler and her throat was getting drier by the second. She felt like she could see her mother.
“Mom, please take me with you. Dad hit me again today. I miss you, mom.”
“Mom.” She extended a hand to take her mom’s before throwing herself at her.
Don’t be afraid, Lyn. She heard her mother’s voice and saw the gentle smile on her face.
“Mom,” she sobbed as tears streamed down when she felt her mother’s tight hug around her.
Her mind was getting blurrier as time went by.
“Honey? Honey, are you still with me?” Lucas asked when he felt the tight clutches on his hands loosening slowly.
He quickly embraced her cold body. “Honey, can you hear me?” His tensed voice was filled with a trace of worry he didn’t even notice.
However, the elevator was silent as soon as his voice fell. The woman never replied to him.
At this moment, a group of maintenance staff arrived with their tools. “Is anyone inside?” one of them asked from the outside.
“Yes! Yes!” he hurriedly answered. “Please hurry open the doors! Someone’s suffocating!”
Hearing that, the staff immediately started pounding and prying open the doors. Finally!
The group worked together to crack open the doors.
When they did, a small ray of light finally illuminated the dark elevator. Lucas looked down to see Ashlyn, who had already fainted in his arms.
His face lost all its color at the sight. He had never been this scared before. “Honey, how are you feeling?”
He anxiously turned his gaze to the staff outside. “Hurry! Please hurry!”
