My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas)
Chapter 701

Chapter 701

The sound hit her eardrums, and it was as though he was right next to her.

Finally, the whooshing sound stopped.

Ashlyn looked up with resignation in her crystal-clear eyes. "Let's go."

Silence ensued.

Carefully, she turned at her shoulder to see Lucas gazing at her silently, his clothes intact.

A dangerous and imposing aura emanated from his figure.

Ashlyn shot him a glare as exhaustion crept into her gaze. "Lucas, stop this."

Instead of moving, Lucas reached out and grabbed her waist before pulling her to his chest.

He had been wanting to do this ever since he regained consciousness.

It was something that had lingered in his mind for the longest time.

His suppressed emotions were on the verge of reaching their boiling point in this narrow space.

His voice was husky, belying his desire to ravage her there. It seemed that he was in pain as he said slowly but clearly, "Honey..."

Ashlyn's eyes snapped shut as her porcelain white cheek pressed against the man's chest. She could feel his heartbeat and his breathing clearly.

A while later, she placed her hands on his chest to push him away. But before she could take action, the man's husky voice rang out above her. "Why didn't you come in when you brought breakfast this morning?"

Ashlyn's thick lashes fluttered slightly as she said softly, "We shouldn't get involved anymore. There are too many obstacles between us. Lucas, your parents..."

He lowered his gaze and inched nearer to her. "I know," he sighed.

Holding her captive in his embrace, he stared at her with his dark eyes.

His feverish breath burned her rosy cheeks, making the situation all the more amorous.

Ashlyn was flustered with discomfort. She felt as if thousands of insects were gnawing on her, but there was no way of release.

It felt as if a mountain had landed on her chest, and she had difficulty breathing.

"Since you're aware of it, release me," she demanded.

Lucas snorted. "Honey..." Suddenly, he leaned nearer and whispered something in her ear.

Ashlyn stiffened as shock flashed across her eyes. "What?" She narrowed her gaze. "D*mn it!"

Looking up, she vowed, "I shall handle this."

Right then, someone knocked on the door.

Ashlyn helped Lucas out of the restroom before she went to answer the door.

A European man clad in a white doctor's coat was standing at the door. He carried an imperious nose well, and his eyes had the same startling clarity as a mountain stream. With his fair skin and tall figure, he looked like a typical European.

Sinclair was awestruck when he saw Ashlyn. Oh, what a gorgeous woman!

Tall and curvaceous, Ashlyn looked so beautiful that she was practically glowing, and he couldn't tear his eyes away from her.

Her slick long hair was tied up in a high bun, and a few strands of hair framed her forehead. She looked vibrant and dazzling.

Sinclair flashed a smile, revealing his white teeth. He was pretty sure he didn't know someone this beautiful, but he found her familiar. Even so, he couldn't seem to put his finger on where he had seen her before.

"Hi, gorgeous."

He took two steps back and confirmed he was at the right ward before adding, "Did I go to the wrong ward? This is Lucas Nolan's ward, right?"

In the bed, Lucas heard Sinclair's voice and said, "He's my psychologist, Sinclair."

"Oh, I can't believe you kept a beautiful woman hidden in your ward!" Sinclair scurried into the ward and exclaimed, "You're such a lucky patient!"

Lucas' gaze wavered for a second as he pursed his lips. "Honey, you wanted to deliver lunch to Naomi, right?"

Sinclair's eyes widened in amazement. "Honey? Are you Mrs. Nolan? Wow! Lucas is so lucky! I remember how amazing you were back then when you managed to calm the passenger. Oh, dear. You're my idol!" he cried.

He enthused, "This is too much. Why does Lucas like to keep you away from everyone? You saved him this time, too! It is really rare to see someone else successfully calming him down whenever he has a manic episode! I was watching the live stream. It wasn't only streamed on Twitter. Someone else streamed it on Maredania's social media too! You're now famous in Maredania, and you have many fans there. That was really amazing!"
