When Ashlyn returned to Bayview Villa drenched in the rain, an unknown number called.
After glancing 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?” Claire’s gentle voice was heard, “I would like to see you.”
Claire was Lucas’ elder sister hence Ashlyn agreed to meet her after a slight hesitation.
However, she didn’t know what Claire wanted with her.
Meanwhile, Claire chose a secluded café for them to meet.
Ashlyn was dressed in a white sweater and a pair of matching black jeans before she headed to the
café.
By the time she arrived, Claire was already waiting for her.
She was sitting there, stirring her coffee languidly 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 Claire.
“What do you like to have? Is coffee alright?”
“Lemonade will do,” Ashlyn plainly replied.
Claire waved for a waiter and ordered a glass of lemonade for her.
“Claire, is there anything you would like to discuss?” As Ashlyn looked at the lady sitting opposite her,
she could see that Claire 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, Claire slowly said, “Ms. Berry, can you let me have
Lucas?”
Ashlyn furrowed her eyebrows in shock. Squinting her eyes, she asked, “Claire, 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 transplant.” Claire’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 Claire in shock. It took a while for her to regain her composure. “Ms. Nolan,
you and Lucas are siblings! How can you be together?”
Wiping off her tears, Claire smirked, “It seems like you are not aware that Lucas is not related to the
Nolan 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 Nolan family.
Ashlyn felt it was simply too much for her brain to process.
Does this mean, Claire 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. Nolan. I can’t accede 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, Claire’s expression changed. With her eyes filled with tears, she suddenly
grabbed Ashlyn’s hand.
