899: Chapter 898: When Have I Not Taken It Seriously?
But Joanna, have you ever thought about why Ashton Heath would take such a huge risk to protect you from the sulfuric acid?
There are so things I don’t want to spell out clearly, but if I don’t, I’m afraid soone might try to take my wife away.”
Joanna Lawrence: “Ashton Heath…”
“Joanna, that guy likes you, and his feelings for you run deep.
That’s why he took such a big risk to block that acid for you.
You also said that his sacrifice was huge.
He must have considered the consequences, but he still chose to protect you.”
“Would he do that just for a normal friendship?”
“In front of human nature, everything is transparent.
No one else would do that.”
“A person’s appearance is of utmost importance, especially for people in your circle who rely on their looks for a living.”
Having heard those words, Joanna Lawrence kept silent.
She knew that Maddox Allenson’s feelings for her were no ordinary friendship.
If she hadn’t been sure about it before, this event had made it quite clear to her.
But Maddox had shown her kindness.
Even if she knew his true intentions, she couldn’t abandon him.
“But I can’t just ignore him.
Ashton Heath, I owe him a debt of gratitude…”
“I didn’t ask you to ignore him.
It’s true that his sacrifice was huge, and if you simply ignored him, you wouldn’t be able to justify it emotionally or rationally.”
“Then, what about you?”
Ashton Heath seed to smile: “How could I not care?
He protected my wife and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude as well.
So, if you’re going to the hospital, I’ll go with you.”
“I should also thank him in person.”
Joanna Lawrence was stunned: “You’re going with ?”
“Mmhmm, didn’t you say you’ll be staying with him at the hospital during his stay?
I’ll accompany you.”
“…But don’t you have to work?”
“Docunts can be sent to my email for processing, etings can be held via video calls.
As for so contracts that we need to discuss, if the other party is sincere, they will naturally co to Frankfurt to et with .”
Joanna Lawrence: “…Are you serious?”
Had this man gone mad?
Ashton Heath: “When have I ever not been serious?
Maddox thinks he can take advantage of this opportunity to develop a romantic relationship with you, but he’s delusional.
I won’t give him such an opportunity.”
Joanna Lawrence: “…”
“Are you still at the hospital?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Then co out.”
“Co out?” Joanna Lawrence was stunned again.
“What do you an?”
Ashton Heath said lightly: “I’m right outside the hospital main entrance.
Should I co find you, or will you co out and find ?”
Joanna Lawrence: “…”
*
Ten minutes later, at the entrance of the hospital.
Joanna Lawrence spotted Ashton Heath standing beside the glass door in an instant.
Hospitals were always crowded places, but out of all the people she saw, he stood out the most.
There was no denying it; Ashton Heath was dazzling.
Even in casual attire, his face, body, and aura made it impossible for him to blend in.
Like right now, he was wearing a simple white shirt paired with his usual black dress pants.
Those incredibly long and straight legs were eye-catching.
When Joanna’s eyes were on him, all she could see were his alluring long legs.
Seeing him, she couldn’t help but think about the disparity between people.
