Chapter 648
Lucas remembered his goal of coming here. Under his lead, Nolan Group had been growing steadily over the years.
Thus, he was regarded as a handsome young elite in the business world and gained a lot of attention.
However, Ashlyn was a new face in the crowd, and her beauty instantly drew everyone's gazes.
Almost all the people who were staring at Lucas were women.
Judging by their hungry stares, it wasn't hard to tell what they were thinking.
At that moment, all Lucas wanted to do was protect Ashlyn from other men.
Two men sat down at the table in the corner and shot cold glares at Lucas.
“Take pictures of them and send them to Mr. Nolan.”
“Understood.”
When Franklin received the photos, his expression turned extremely grim.
“What's so special about this woman that made Lucas disobey me?”

effects of Naomi's poison are about to show.”
“You're right, darling,” Franklin said with a smirk. “When that happens, Lucas will definitely come begging and fall
under our control again!”
The way the couple spoke was as if Naomi wasn't their daughter.
Instead, it was as if she was just a stray on the street that didn't matter to them at all.
Meanwhile, at the plastic surgery department in a hospital in Maredania.
A thin girl was lying quietly on the hospital bed.
Her face was covered with white gauze. At that moment, her perfectly shaped eyes were closed, and her long and
thick eyelashes fluttered on her face like butterflies.
Suddenly, a tall man entered the ward with a lunch box in his hand. When he saw that she was still asleep, he softly
placed the box on the table.
Although his movements were subtle, the girl heard the noise and woke up.
She trembled and slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw the man's familiar face, her lips curled into a smile, and the atmosphere instantly turned sweet and
loving. “Hey, Joseph.”
Joseph looked at her eyes which were curved like crescent moons, and opened the lunch box. “You're probably
feeling hungry. It took me a long time to find a Chanaean restaurant. I'm not sure whether you'll like it.”
Charlotte had been staying in the hospital for a long while. She was forced to eat local food every day, so she was
tired of it.
Thus, Joseph drove around for a long time in search of a Chanaean restaurant.
After hearing that, Charlotte's eyes lit up. It was as if there were stars in her eyes. She immediately sat up and said,
“Oh my goodness! It smells delicious!”
Then, she got out of bed to wash her hands. However, she was so excited that she slipped and lost balance. Just
when she was about to fall, a pair of strong arms suddenly reached over to her waist and pulled her back to her
feet.

Her nose instantly turned red and started to throb in pain.
“It's so hard! It hurts!”
Is his chest made of stone? Why is it so hard?
She looked up at Joseph aggrievedly. At that instant, her nose was red like a rabbit's.
Seeing that, Joseph felt his heart melt.
He couldn't help but coax, “It's all my fault. Hurry up and go wash your hands. The food is getting cold.”
Upon hearing that, Charlotte hurriedly went to wash her hands.
Joseph had bought eggs benedict, two burritos, and a few delicious-looking side dishes.
Even though they were ordinary food, it was hard to find them in Maredania.
Charlotte was already bored of the local food.
Thus, when she saw the eggs benedict, she was overjoyed and happily feasted on the food.
Seeing that girl in front of him stuff down the food with bulging cheeks, Joseph thought she looked adorable.
However, when he glanced at the gauze wrapped around her face, his expression instantly turned cold.
The doctors say that she needs to go through three surgeries in order to regain her smooth and clear skin again.
This is just the first surgery.
