CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: WHAT? WANT ME TO ACCOMPANY YOU?

Hahaha!

Thinking about it, Lucas Hughes almost laughed out loud. He hung up the phone and started to prepare.

However, he had taken only a few steps when he suddenly remembered something.

The AIDS test results for Alexander Johnson hadn’t been confirmed yet. What if he delivered Flibanserin, and Chloe Simpson and Alexander ended up together, and she got infected too, what would he do then?

No, no!

He couldn’t do that just yet!

His issue down there wasn’t resolved, and it wasn’t time to divorce Chloe just yet.

If he remained impotent, he still needed Chloe.

Otherwise, where could he find another woman who was so easy to appease?

He could only wait until both Alexander and Chloe’s test results came out.

Just thinking about having to wait even longer made Lucas feel extremely irritated.

He had already waited so long, yet still had to wait!

"Damn! What a shitty day!"

Lucas cursed a few times, venting some of his frustration, which made him feel slightly better.

But after all, the situation with Alexander and Chloe had spread throughout the hospital; Lucas wasn’t having a good time.

No matter where he went, people would point fingers.

Of course, no one would say it was his fault.

But this finger-pointing was enough to drive Lucas crazy!

Whether walking, eating, or working normally, he could hear people whispering.

All day long, even after work, in the car, and back home, he could still hear people talking about him.

"That’s him, poor guy, newly married and his wife cheated on him already!"

"I heard his wife is just a nurse, and he’s a Ph.D. in medicine."

"No way, how could a woman cheat when she’s married up like that? Maybe there’s something wrong with the guy?"

Lucas subconsciously looked around, but at home, everything was quiet. He was all alone.

"Ah! Chloe, it’s all you! You promiscuous woman! You’re despicable! How could you be so low!"

Lucas finally couldn’t hold it in any longer. He went berserk, picked up nearby things and started smashing them to the ground.

As he smashed things, he kept cursing Chloe to vent his anger.

It took less than ten minutes for him to smash almost everything he could at home.

Once he finished, he calmed down, and no longer heard those voices.

Looking at the mess all over the floor, he was even more furious.

Damn it!

Smashing things felt great!

But now he had to buy new stuff!

Damn! What a cursed day!

Why should he be the one to spend money?

These things were smashed because of Chloe. She should pay for them!

He would leave the mess for her, and if he had to sleep, he’d go back to his parents for a few days.

When Chloe was released by Mrs. Johnson and saw the mess, he’d say there had been a break-in, and let her handle it!

Yes, that’s the plan!

He wouldn’t have to clean up! So convenient!

Besides, what’s wrong with having her buy the stuff?

He never asked her to hand over her earnings; he even paid the mortgage every month.

She only covered the property management fees, utilities, groceries, and such, while he took care of the major expenses.

She should contribute!

Thinking this way, he wasn’t as angry anymore.

Lucas picked up his phone, called his parents to tell them he’d come over for dinner and asked them to save him some food, then left.

In the hospital ward, Chloe Simpson had been worried all day.

Thinking about the rumor about her and Alexander Johnson spreading through the hospital, she kept worrying about Lucas Hughes’ situation.

Throughout the day, she wanted several times to call Lucas or send a WeChat message to ask about it, but she was afraid to.

After all, it was because of her that Lucas was bearing so much.

Forget it, she thought, she’d deal with it once she got out.

For now, since her blood test results weren’t out, she didn’t explain anything.

If it turned out she did have AIDS, there’d be no point explaining. She didn’t want to burden Lucas any further and would just divorce him then.

"What are you thinking about, hmm?"

While Chloe was lost in thought, Alexander Johnson’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

"Nothing," Chloe shook her head.

She thought, Alexander could really sleep. He slept all morning and then again after lunch, waking up only now.

But him sleeping like this was good for her.

At least she didn’t have to talk to him or face him.

She didn’t know what he might do if he were awake.

"Not going to sleep anymore?" Thinking of this, Chloe asked again.

She really hoped he would continue sleeping.

Alexander frowned, "Am I a pig? Eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, after a whole day, and still sleeping?!"

He thought she didn’t notice that he had already woken up.

This woman kept looking at Lucas Hughes’ contact on her phone, lost in thought.

Chloe didn’t notice anything odd; rather, she heard Alexander’s words, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Pfft! You are the Young Master from the richest family in the Capital Circle; how could you be a pig?"

That light laugh left Alexander stunned.

Since their encounter on the cruise ship—no, since the bar before the cruise—he hadn’t seen her smile so brightly.

That radiant smile and those dazzling eyes really reminded him of that young girl from years ago.

"Go sleep on the bed."

A sudden pang of heartache for Chloe hit Alexander, and from the hospital bed, he ordered her.

"Hmm?" Chloe froze.

Did she hear wrong?

Alexander actually asked her to sleep in the bed?

There was only one bed in this ward; if she slept there, wouldn’t he have no place to sleep?

So, he meant to let her have the bed for the night?

Seeing Alexander’s gesture, Chloe could only think so.

But once this thought arose, she denied it immediately.

Ha, who was Alexander? The Young Master! No way would he let her have the only bed!

Chloe, what are you dreaming about?

"What? Want me to accompany you?"

Alexander saw Chloe standing there without moving and raised his eyebrows as he approached.

"No... no."

Chloe quickly shook her head, and the scene of last night where Alexander pinned her against the floor-to-ceiling window came to her mind.

She kept retreating until she accidently backed into the bed, and with a misstep, she fell.

Seeing her possibly hitting the wall with the back of her head, Alexander reached out to catch her.

Unexpectedly, Chloe instinctively grabbed him, pulling him down, landing on top of her.

Coincidentally, his lips fell right onto hers.

"Mmm!"
