My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)
Chapter 520

Chapter 520

She looked just like a forest fairy.

No one would not be mesmerized by such an enchanting sight, including Lucas.

He was looking out from the window with his binoculars to ease his longing for the woman.

While he was admiring Ashlyn's sparkling dark eyes, he saw the tall-built Jared walking out of the lab with a blanket flung across his arms.

Lucas' eyes were filled with jealousy as he watched Jared place the blanket over Ashlyn gently and felt a sense of possessiveness wash over him.

He had always gotten a strange feeling from Jared.

It did not seem like the man had a crush on Ashlyn, as Lucas could not feel any possessive desire from him. However, if Jared did not have any romantic feelings towards Ashlyn, it was strange that he always took such good care of her and was attentive to her needs.

Even though Lucas had met plenty of people, he was unable to figure out Jared's intentions.

He took a deep breath and looked at the gauze on his chest.

The white gauze was wrapped around the man's muscular chest. After a few days of treatment, his wound was recovering well but had not yet scabbed over.

There would still be blood trickling out of his wound when a slight force was applied on it.

"Mr. Nolan, have some breakfast," Spencer said when he entered the ward.

Spencer knew that Lucas must be watching Ashlyn again when he saw his boss looking out of the window with his binoculars.

Mr. Nolan had made such huge sacrifices for Ms. Berry.

An ordinary person would not have been able to bear such extreme levels of pain, but Mr. Nolan did it.

He had never grunted or winced a single time.

In the afternoon, Spencer arrived with a huge pile of documents.

Lucas had insisted on working although he was still not completely well.

Spencer was extremely worried about his boss but could do nothing about it.

Lucas was already on the verge of tiring himself out. He started working immediately after he had a quick lunch and did not stop until slightly over 3 p.m..

As he was a picky eater, Lucas had only taken a few mouthfuls of the bland hospital lunch which he was served earlier.

He was starting to feel hungry now but was more sleepy than hungry.

He was starting to lose focus due to exhaustion.

Just as Lucas was about to review the next document, his phone pinged with a message.

There were only three people on his contact list who could message him: Ashlyn, Spencer and Joseph.

At this thought, Lucas looked at his phone and a twinkle appeared in his deep-set eyes.

At the same time, he could not help but smile.

It was Ashlyn who texted: Eat well and don't be picky with your food. Gastric pain is not fun.

It was merely a casual message without any flirtatious or coy undertone, but it gave Lucas a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Is the woman showing concern for me?

Feeling joyful, Lucas finally put down his documents. For the first time, he thought that hospital food didn't taste that bad after all.

As such, he turned towards Spencer, who was also working on some documents, and said, "I'm hungry."

Spencer was stunned for a moment before sprinting out of the ward to prepare food for Lucas immediately.

Goodness me!

Did Mr. Nolan just say he wants to eat?

Spencer headed straight to the Peacock and returned half an hour later with food containers.

"Mr. Nolan, I got you herbal bone broth, tripe stew with astragalus root and chicken ginseng soup," he announced excitedly.

Mr. Nolan's meals were not to be taken casually.

The moment Spencer entered the ward, he saw Lucas smiling to himself while looking at his phone and was obviously in a good mood. Lucas looked up from his phone towards Spencer, "Open them."

Spencer quickly opened the food containers and laid them out on the overbed table.

In a deliberate motion, Lucas placed his phone on the table with the screen still lit up and swept his finger across the screen.

Spencer's eyes drifted towards the screen and what he saw was... a chat on social media.

Sure, Honey. I'll take my meals seriously.

I'll listen to you, Honey. I won't pull all-nighters for work.

Honey, don't worry yeah? I'll take good care of myself.

Ashlyn replied: Lucas Nolan, I only typed one sentence. Don't you think your replies are a bit excessive?

Oh, it's better to make it clear so that my Honey wouldn't worry about me. It's my responsibility to make sure that you have a peace of mind. Ashlyn replied: ...

Spencer was speechless as well while enduring their blatant show of affection.
