Chapter 199
Lucas’ expression instantly changed as it got colder tenfold. “Jared, I don’t need your opinion on whatever happens between her and me.”
Jared’s face darkened after hearing that. “Lucas, everything about her isn’t your business!”
Ad interim, Hera attached her ear to the door to eavesdrop on their conversation. Her lips twitched in dissatisfaction when she heard them arguing about the other woman.
I hope she doesn’t wake up. I wish she’ll stay like this for the rest of her life without anyone caring for her at all. Ashlyn, please don’t wake up! Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She silently and harshly cursed her.
“Jared, don’t be so full of yourself just because you’re living under the same roof as her,” Lucas sneered. “We don’t need you here. Leave.”
“I’ll always stay with her. It’s not like she’s your private property. What right do you have?” Jared refuted.
They’re already divorced but he’s still so clingy to boss. He has been with her for days now. Even so, he still couldn’t protect her. I really doubt this man’s strength now. Those who can’t protect her shouldn’t be with her!
When the men were endlessly quarreling in the ward, Winsor Jaquin and Tinsor Jaquin rushed to the hospital.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator and got Ashlyn’s room number, they ran like they were running for their lives.
When they were nearing, the first thing they saw was Hera eavesdropping through the door.
Winsor glanced at her in disdain. “Excuse me, Ms. Chapman.”
Hera was listening seriously to the quarrel of both the presidents over the other woman. Her nails almost broke in jealousy as she pressed them against the door.
When she was lost in the immense hatred and jealousy, a sudden disdainful voice rang above her head.
“Ah!” she yelled in shock.
She stumbled back in her high-heels and accidentally knocked the back of her head on the door, creating a loud sound.
The pain made her see stars.
“Ouch!” She grabbed her head and gritted her teeth in pain. She did not look like a high-level socialite at all. At this moment, she could care less about her image.
She felt as if a bump was going to form on the hit spot on the back of her head.
Tears burst out from her eyes at the immense pain.
She was embarrassed to have been caught eavesdropping, but the embarrassment could not top the pain she felt.
It hurts so bad!
Jared went to open the door after hearing the commotion outside. The sight of Hera, who had tears in her eyes, was the first scene that greeted him.
Winsor held the bouquet of gypsophila as he stared at Jared. “What are you doing in my goddess’ room?” he asked angrily.
“Yeah! What are you doing in our goddess’ room!” repeated Tinsor, trying to show the power that he never had.
He had always been a supportive of the relationship between his brother and Ashlyn.
He could never forget the scene of Ashlyn rescuing Naomi Nolan and Blair Nolan.
Winsor and Ashlyn are meant to be! Nobody can covet the goddess!
“Tsk,” Jared snickered as he stared at the siblings before letting them in.
He then looked at Lucas as if something interesting was about to transpire.
On the other hand, Hera thought she was also invited in. She couldn’t wait to whine to Lucas about her injury to get his sympathy.
However, when she had only taken one step, the door was slammed shut right in front of her again, just like it did earlier.
Tinsor was the one who had slammed the door fiercely. Why are there so many people here? Darn! Mr. Nolan’s here too! He didn’t notice how hard he had shut the door, for he was lost in his own thoughts.
This time, the door hit Hera’s nose that she felt like it almost broke.
“Ah! It hurts!” she cried in pain.
It freaking hurts! I feel like my nose is about to fall off!
Hera raised her hand to rub her nose. “Blood!” She stared at the red liquid on her palm in shock. Her eyes rolled back as she almost fainted.
Luckily, a nurse passing by noticed her, and she quickly held her. “Are you okay, miss? Your nose is bleeding.”
