My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 302

“It’s… It’s regarding Mr. Haddock… “ Horace stuttered as he struggled to come up with an excuse.

Ashlyn cocked her eyebrows and stared at him with a frosty look in her eyes. “The more you try to distract me, the more I want to know who on earth you are hiding in the attic. What secret are you keeping from me?”

The violent coughing started again.

At such proximity, the coughing sounds were clear and ear-piercing!

Ashlyn widened her eyes in disbelief. This familiar voice…

Fury surged through her as she pushed open the door forcefully!

The first thing she saw within the constricted space was a small bed. A pale-faced elderly was lying on the bed, all curled up.

The attic was extremely run-down and poorly maintained with trash scattered across the floor.

The air inside smelled stale, as if the room had not been ventilated for a long time.

In fact, it would be surprising if anyone who stayed there for a long time did not get ill.

Ashlyn could hardly believe her eyes when she saw the frail elderly lying on the bed.

“Grandma!”

The elderly woman, whose small frame was curled up like a ball, was Susan Blackwood. She was falling in and out of consciousness and could hardly register what was going on.

Susan slowly opened her eyes when she heard the familiar voice. As her clouded eyes gradually regained focus, she managed to recognize the beautiful face in front of her, “Ashlyn… Is that you?”

Her voice sounded weak and was barely audible.

“Grandma, how are you feeling?” Ashlyn knelt beside Susan’s bed and held her hand tightly.

“Grandma’s fine… “ Susan smiled lovingly at her granddaughter before shutting her eyes again.
