Chapter 578


    “It’s my treat. Would you like to go with me, Lucas?”


    “Lucas, why do you keep silent? Is it because my outfit doesn’t look good? Is that why you don’t want


    to see me?”


    Ashlyn was deep in thought while looking at them.


    How shameless.


    It’s obvious Lucas doesn’t want to talk to her. Can’t she see that?


    I guess she must be blind then.


    Lucas instinctively lifted his head the moment he heard the door open. Immediately, he smiled warmly


    at Ashlyn as he moved his long legs and strode toward her.


    “How’s Mr. Chapman?”


    “He’s conscious, but he’s badly injured. He has fallen asleep again.” Ashlyn darted a nce at Sisley


    and Hera. “The patient is very weak. We have a professional medical team looking after him, so you


    may go back.”


    “Alright, I’ll get going.” A vicious look shed in Sisley’s eyes when she heard that Bob was conscious.


    Why didn’t this old bastard die in the ident?


    Sisley’s eyes flicked between Hera, Lucas, and Ashlyn. Afterward, she shed a ttering smile at


    Lucas. “Young people like you should hang out more often. Mr. Nn, there’s a decent hot pot


    restaurant nearby. Why don’t you let Hera bring you there for a meal?”


    “No, thanks.” Lucas’ eyes were still riveted on Ashlyn. “Are you on duty tonight?”


    “No. I’m going home,” Ashlyn answered while walking away, and Lucas instantly went after her.


    At the same time, Hera red at them. “Mom, you did see something going on between her and Mr.


    Shaw the other day, right? How can she be so slutty that she hooks up with two men at the same time?


    Wait, no. It should be three, including her so-called boyfriend, Jared.”


    “That’s enough now. Let’s go home.”


    Later that night.


    There were only a few stars twinkling in the sky while the moon hid in the clouds.


    It was pitch ck, and the entire hospital was in pin-drop silence.


    The nurse on duty yawned, stood up, and walked to the water dispenser to have some water.


    Little did she know that a dark figure was creeping into her medical unit.


    The moment she turned around, the dark figure scuttled toward Bob’s ward.


    He swiftly pushed the door open and glided into the ward.


    The man in ck gradually made his way to the weak and elderly man on the bed.


    Bob flipped his eyes wide open and saw a pair of hands reach out to his venttor. “No… no…”


    He had many tubes inserted all over his body. Pulling out any of the tubes would cost his life.


    I have yet to tell Ashlyn about her true identity.


    No… I can’t die now.


    His eyes widened in terror and were fixed on the man in ck with a face mask.


    “No!”


    In a split second, his finger moved to his stomach, and he pressed a button with all his strength.


    Beep beep beep…


    A loud rm went off in the ward and echoed throughout the whole corridor.


    The ss in the nurse’s hand dropped onto the floor, breaking it into pieces.


    “Dr. Hendrickson! Dr. Hendrickson! Mr. Chapman is in danger!”


    “Security! Security! Seize the intruder!”


    The nurse screamed repeatedly in the corridor.


    Some family members of the other patients were still awake. Out of curiosity, they stepped out of their


    ward and nced around.


    Meanwhile, the man in Bob’s ward was startled.


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    I never thought that this old man has such an advanced rm system with him.


    Damn it!


    He couldn’t be bothered to unplug Bob’s venttor anymore.


    Immediately, he flung open the door and attempted to escape.


    But the nurse was standing right outside the door to stop him from leaving.


    He lifted his leg and kicked the nurse to the floor, then he darted toward the elevator.


    Despite the excruciating pain in her knee, the nurse got to her feet, sprinted after the man, and grabbed


    him by his waist.


    The man punched her back forcefully, and she teared up in anguish.
