Chapter 180 Misunderstanding Resolved 1
Thomas?
Ashley was startled and quickly said, "Let him in."
"Yes, Ms. Wilson."
Olivia stepped back to call Thomas.
Alex felt awkward and stood up. "Ashley, let me help you lie down. If you need anything, just call us, okay?"
Ashley smiled. "Okay."
Alex helped her lie down and was about to leave with the tray when he suddenly slipped and fell.
The soup spilled, half on the floor and half on Ashley.
"Ah..."
Ashley screamed.
"Ashley!"
Alex panicked. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Your clothes are wet..."
He cursed his clumsiness, face red with shame. He grabbed some tissues and started wiping her clothes.
"Ashley, it's my fault. Let me clean this up."
Ashley was initially guarded but softened when she saw his apologetic look.
"It's okay, don't worry about it. I'm not mad."
"I'm so clumsy. I can't even take care of someone properly."
As he wiped, his hand accidentally brushed her chest, making him tremble.
Ashley noticed and her face turned red with anger.
Blushing, Alex looked away. "Ashley, your clothes are wet. I'll ask Olivia to help you change."
Ashley nodded. "Okay, thank you."
Alex quickly left the room, almost fleeing.
Outside, he bumped into Olivia, who was bringing an elderly man over.
Alex's face was red, but he tried to stay calm.
"Olivia, Ashley got wet. Can you help her change?"
"Okay. Mr. Landary, please wait at the door."
"Alright."
Thomas responded, eyeing Alex suspiciously.
When Olivia opened the door, Thomas saw the tissues on the floor and Ashley's soaked top.
Thomas's head buzzed, and he looked at Alex with hostility.
Alex was still dazed, thinking about how he had accidentally touched Ashley's chest, making his face even redder.
Thomas squinted, his gaze sharp. He exuded a powerful aura.
"Sir, what are you doing in Mrs. Yates's room?"
Alex snapped out of it and smiled. "Hello, I'm Alex. I'm here to take care of her."
"Oh?" Thomas sneered, "So, you're a servant hired by Mrs. Yates?"
Alex's face changed.
He realized Thomas was hostile. Swallowing hard, Alex said, "No, I'm her friend, here to visit her."
"Since you're a visitor, I'll have the driver take you home. Mr. Yates can take good care of Mrs. Yates. You don't need to trouble yourself."
Alex looked towards the room.
Thomas frowned and stepped in front of the door.
"Why aren't you leaving? Does Mr. Hill have a thing for other people's wives?"
"Mr. Yates and Mrs. Yates have a great relationship. Please be sensible and don't have any inappropriate thoughts."
Alex's face turned red.
"I... I'm just concerned about Ashley."
"You've shown your concern as a friend, so please, Mr. Hill, leave now."
Alex bit his lip, unwillingness flashing in his eyes. "Where's Ethan? Ashley had such a big accident, and he didn't come to take care of her."
"Thank you for your concern. Mr. Yates had urgent business in Ferndale. I'm here to carry out Mr. Yates's instructions and take Mrs. Yates to Ferndale."
"Ferndale?"
Sienna had just come up and was shocked. "Ashley has a month left before her cast comes off. How can she fly around now? Is the jerk trying to kill her?"
Jerk?
Thomas couldn't stand it!
"How could you call Mr. Yates a jerk? He is devoted to Mrs. Yates and has never been unfaithful!"
"Can you swear Ethan hasn't been with someone else..."
"What are you arguing about?"
Ashley, with Olivia's help, had changed into clean clothes. As soon as she came out, she heard the three of them arguing at her door.
"What's going on? You are all grown up. Why are you arguing like kids at my door? Explain it to me."
