Chapter 661
Somehow, Lucas' cold yet handsome face had reappeared in her mind.
Right then, Naomi, who was done with her scene, waved at her. “Ashlyn!”
Her voice was crystal clear, and the smile on her face made her seem like a lively girl.
Moreover, the clothes she was wearing for the character made her seem cheeky and adorable.
Ashlyn pointed at the bottles of water beside her and said, “Come and have a drink.”
Right as Naomi took a step forward, a wave of dizziness struck her.
She halted in her tracks and tried to shake away the dizziness. However, her vision blurred even more, and slowly,
she lost focus on the sight in front of her.
She swayed to the side and began falling to the ground.
The moment Jonathan, who was behind her, saw that, he quickly reached out to grab her waist. With a tug, he
pulled her into his arms.
“Naomi, what's the matter?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I...” Naomi panted. Just as she tried to reply to him, darkness crashed into her, and she passed out.
By then, Ashlyn and Greg had already hurried over to them. “What's the matter?”
“I don't know. She suddenly passed out!” Jonathan said, an anxious look on his face.
A bad feeling settled in the pit of his stomach, and something in the back of his mind told him that her condition
was related to the drug Helena had given to her.
But it's already been so long... When we went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said that there was a
dormant period before the drug took effect. Is it now taking effect?
Ashlyn lowered her eyes and crouched down beside Naomi. She then reached out her fair fingers to gently press
down on Naomi's wrist.
Almost everyone was staring at her. It was the first time the members of the film crew saw Ashlyn in her other role
as a doctor.
She was serious when she was working, and her demeanor while taking Naomi's pulse somehow convinced every
anxious person at the scene to calm down.
A moment later, she uttered, “Send her to the hospital. There's poison in her. It must have taken effect.”
Jonathan's heart sank. So I was right...
At the hospital, Ashlyn joined the medical team for the checkup. When she saw the results of the checkup, she
froze.
However, in the next second, she pushed open the ER's door and stepped out.
When she raised her head, she spotted a familiar tall figure.
Lucas...
He had appeared in front of her so suddenly her heart skipped a beat. As if he had heard her footsteps, he turned
to look at her. There were no visible emotions in those dark eyes of his.
When their eyes met, it felt as though time had stopped.
Ashlyn closed her eyes and forced the misery to the recesses of her mind.
For reasons unbeknownst to her, the things that happened between her and him kept replaying in her mind.
He had lost so much weight after she was cured of her poison, and yet, she had been so foolish; she never realized
that he had been so grievously injured for her.
“How's Naomi?” came the man's hoarse voice, which echoed in the quiet corridor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“The poison in her is starting to take effect, but we don't know what this poison is, so her case is a little tricky,”
Ashlyn told him. “There might be side effects.”
“What side effects?” Lucas frowned.
“She might temporarily lose her sight or hearing. In fact, it might be other kinds of side effects... We'll have to wait
for her to wake before we can do a full body checkup. Now that she's currently unconscious, we can't test how well
her senses are.”
A tired look crept onto Ashlyn's face.
She had always seen Naomi as her little sister, so she could not help but feel terrible to see Naomi on the bed,
seemingly lifeless.
Although Ashlyn had a cold demeanor, she was not cold-blooded.
“Helena said she doesn't know what kind of drug it really is. Apparently, a mysterious individual gave it to her.”
Lucas lowered his eyes as he stared at Ashlyn. There was something indescribable in the way he was looking at her.
“A mysterious individual... Ha,” Ashlyn sneered.
What a gesture of love from that mysterious person. If I was the one who had drunk the water back then, I would
have been the one on the bed now.”
