    When Ashlyn returned to Bayview Vi drenched in the rain, an unknown number called.


    After ncing at the screen, she didn’t pick up.

    However, the caller called again and again.


    Finally, Ashlyn answered with a cold “hello”.


    “Is this Ms. Berry?” ire’s gentle voice was heard, “I would like to see you.”


    ire was Lucas’ elder sister hence Ashlyn agreed to meet her after a slight hesitation.


    However, she didn’t know what ire wanted with her.


    Meanwhile, ire chose a secluded café for them to meet.


    Ashlyn was dressed in a white sweater and a pair of matching ck jeans before she headed to the


    café.


    By the time she arrived, ire was already waiting for her.


    She was sitting there, stirring her coffeenguidly with a spoon.


    However, as she had heart problems, her face looked pale under the lights.


    When she saw Ashlyn walking over, she raised her head and smiled. Her smile was as gentle as her


    facial features. “Ms. Berry, you’re here. Please have a seat.”


    Unabashed, Ashlyn sat directly opposite ire.


    “What do you like to have? Is coffee alright?”


    “Lemonade will do,” Ashlyn inly replied.


    ire waved for a waiter and ordered a ss of lemonade for her.


    “ire, is there anything you would like to discuss?” As Ashlyn looked at thedy sitting opposite her,


    she could see that ire was beautiful but had a gentle yet sickly aura to her.


    Her appearance could easily elicit sympathy and anyone who saw her would feel the urge to protect


    her.


    After staring at Ashlyn for a while in silence, ire slowly said, “Ms. Berry, can you let me have


    Lucas?”


    Ashlyn furrowed her eyebrows in shock. Squinting her eyes, she asked, “ire, what are you trying to


    say? I don’t get what you mean.”


    “The doctor said that I may have only a few more months to live as my heart condition is getting worse.


    However, I still can’t find a suitable heart for a transnt.” ire’s gaze wasn’t resentful nor nasty,


    instead, it was piteous. “I know you’re a good person and you are in good health. Also, Lucas and you


    love each other. Therefore, I know I shouldn’t make such an outrageous request. But, I’m going to die


    soon. So, can you please have some pity on me?”


    She paused for a bit before continuing, “Lucas and I grew up together while Grace has already left us.


    Grace and I shared a dream of spending our lives together with Lucas. But, fate has unfortunately been


    unkind to us. My body is weak, therefore I have to stay with my parents. However, Lucas and I were


    supposed to be together. But, I didn’t expect for you to appear by his side.”


    Ashlyn stared at the tearing ire in shock. It took a while for her to regain herposure. “Ms. Nn,


    you and Lucas are siblings! How can you be together?”


    Wiping off her tears, ire smirked, “It seems like you are not aware that Lucas is not rted to the


    Nn family by blood. He was adopted by my parents.”


    Yesterday, she learned that she wasn’t Horace’s biological daughter. And now, she found out that


    Lucas was an adopted child of the Nn family.


    Ashlyn felt it was simply too much for her brain to process.


    Does this mean, ire has fallen in love with her adopted brother? But, how can love ever be forced?


    Lucas obviously only sees her as a sister.


    “I’m sorry, Ms. Nn. I can’t ede to your request. I do not want to be separated from Lucas.


    Besides, he is not an object to be given away just like that. He is a human being and I need to respect


    that. Anyway, he only treats you as his sister, doesn’t he?”


    Hearing Ashlyn’s answer, ire’s expression changed. With her eyes filled with tears, she suddenly


    grabbed Ashlyn’s hand.
