My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)
Chapter 560

Chapter 560

Livia took in a deep breath and lost the air of cruelty she had when Lucas was around. Now, she was looking at Claire with a loving and gentle gaze. She sighed, "He's had another attack. You can look for him when he clears his mind tomorrow."

"Was Lucas missing Grace again?" Claire hugged her mother's waist and kissed her cheek. "Mom, Dad, don't be too upset."

Claire only knew that Grace and she were twins. Back then, when they went to the countryside, Grace and Lucas had gotten lost and her sister died when she fell off a cliff.

Lucas had been plagued with guilt. He was even diagnosed with mania after the incident. His attacks happened every year and lasted several days.

Claire was upset that Grace had passed away, but she was equally upset that her brother had been so affected by their sister's death that he was diagnosed with a mental disorder. With reddened eyes, Claire mumbled, "I'll go back to my room first."

It had been an entire day.

Lucas told her he had a night flight, but he neither messaged nor called her before boarding his flight.

When she called him, a mechanical voice told her he was unreachable, and her messages were unread.

Frustration seeped into her as a sense of impending doom rose in her heart.

It'll be fine.

He's an excellent pilot. Nothing has ever happened during his flights.

Nothing will happen to him.

She had been observing his flight details. Even after the plane took off, she was still worried as she waited for his flight to land.

The breeze at four in the morning was cold. There was a thin cloud of mist in the distance.

Ashlyn tossed and turned in her bed. Finally, she put on her clothes and drove herself to pick Lucas up from the airport.

After the passengers had left the airport, the flight crew came out. Without wasting a moment, she rushed forward, looking for him. However, when she noticed the pilot had an unfamiliar face, the smile on her lips vanished.

He's not Lucas?

Where's Lucas?

Panic poured into her heart when she heard Nancy. "Ms. Berry, are you here for Captain Nolan?"

"Ms. Jesson, where's Lucas?" Ashlyn frowned as she tamped down her panic.

"He had some matters to deal with at the last minute, so another captain took over. Didn't you know about it?" Nancy sensed something amiss about the situation. Matters to deal with?

What is so important?

Ashlyn carefully breathed out. "I don't. I can't contact him. Thank you."

At that, she jogged to the Land Rover.

Behind her, Jenny had a smug look on her face as she scoffed, "Look at how anxious she is. Is she afraid that she won't be able to keep her status as his beloved? Ha. Captain Nolan must have finally found out about her true colors. He must be leaving her. That's why she's so anxious."

Nancy could not help but roll her eyes.

God, this woman is annoying.

What does someone else's business have to do with her?

"Jenny, do you nothing better to do?"

"Purser, what are you trying to say?" Jenny looked at her, baffled.

"You're nosy." With that said, Nancy walked away.

It hurts... It hurts.

It's so painful.

I feel like vomiting.

Lucas pressed down hard on his stomach.

Slowly, he opened his eyes.

He was enveloped in darkness; there was no hint of light anywhere.

He carefully climbed to his feet but came into contact with cold steel.

A cage.

He was all too familiar with it.

Every time he came to this place, he was locked in this cage. This was not his first time here.

His towering body was crammed into this steel cage.

The suffocating darkness was like lava on his nerves.

The wound on his hand was untreated, but the blood had already stopped flowing.

However, it had yet to clot.

The skin and flesh were turned outward. Carefully, he reached out to touch the wound as numbness wrapped around his heart.

He did not know how long he had been in this cage, nor how long he had been unconscious.

The plane must have taken off long ago.

I wonder if Ashlyn is looking for me.

His rationality returned to its place in his mind, but the only thing he could think of was the despair he felt toward his own family.
