After visiting Valentin, Ashley accompanied Lester and George out of the ward.
"Ashley, don't worry too much," Lester advised. "Take care of yourself. Don't exhaust yourself before Valentin wakes up."
George, who was usually indifferent, expressed concern. "Yes, Ashley, take care of yourself."
Ashley nodded. "I will. Why are you still here?"
"We've been investigating Cara's situation recently. We want to find out if she is blood-related to us." Lester raised an eyebrow slightly. "I met her this morning."
"How is it? Did you find out anything?" Ashley asked.
"Not yet, but George has come up with a perfect way to confirm if Cara is our long-lost sister," Lester said meaningfully.
"A perfect way?" Ashley was surprised and looked at George standing beside her.
The always calm George became excited, thinking, 'Ashley isn't afraid of me anymore. She's voluntarily looking at me!'
Suppressing his joy, he nodded calmly. "Yes, I have a foolproof method. We'll confirm it soon."
Ashley didn't ask for specifics about the method.
Given George and Lester's intelligence and means, since they dared to say that, it must guarantee success.
After chatting for a while, Ashley walked them downstairs.
The VIP ward was on the eighth floor, and they took the elevator to the first floor.
After getting off the elevator, Lester said, "Ashley, don't go out. There are too many people outside, and you might be recognized."
Ashley nodded. "Okay, then be careful on your way back."
Lester and George chatted with Ashley for a while before leaving the hospital.
Ashley pressed the elevator button, preparing to return to the eighth floor.
At that moment, someone called out to her from behind, "Ashley?"
Ashley instinctively turned around and was surprised to see Jeremy.
Besides Jeremy, Matthew and Ryan were there. Ryan had a piece of gauze taped to his forehead.
"Ashley, are you feeling unwell? Why did you come to the hospital?" Jeremy ran over with concern, carefully inspecting Ashley. "Are you sick? Have you seen a doctor?"
Matthew and Ryan also hurried over.
Ashley didn't want to talk much with them and wanted to enter the elevator, but the elevator hadn't arrived yet.
Matthew anxiously asked, "Ashley, how do you feel? I know a doctor in this hospital. We don't have to wait in line. I can take you to see him right away!"
Ryan added, "Ashley, I know you dislike us, but your health is important. Shouldn't you go see a doctor first?"
Their noise irritated Ashley, and her eyebrows furrowed. "I'm not sick."
Jeremy felt relieved upon hearing that. "That's great! As long as you're fine. I was too worried just now! When I saw you at the hospital, I thought you were sick."
What made him even sadder was that she came to the hospital alone.
He was glad that Ashley wasn't sick. If she had really come to the hospital alone for treatment, how helpless she would have been.
"Ashley," Jeremy took two deep breaths and pleaded, "take my number off your blacklist. I promise not to disturb you. If you need anything, day or night, you can find me anytime, and I'll be there!"
"Take me off your blacklist, too." Matthew's gaze was filled with longing. "If something like today happens again, you don't have to come to the hospital alone. We are your brothers, and taking care of you is our duty!"
Jeremy and Matthew quickly tried to please Ashley with their words, while Ryan fell behind. He couldn't come up with anything heartfelt, so he pitifully said, "Ashley, take me off your blacklist, too."
Ashley didn't pay attention but noticed the bandage on Ryan's forehead.
Matthew immediately said, "It happened a few days ago when we secretly followed you. A skateboarder rushed over, and when Ryan pulled you away, he was knocked down by that skateboarder and hit his head. Today he came to change the bandage."
Ashley remembered that incident.
Ryan pulled her away, but he ended up being knocked down by the skateboarder.
