Another long silence settled over the room as Ashley held Scott's gaze, refusing to let him look away.
"You can answer me now, can't you?" she added under her breath.
Deep in her heart, she hoped he would finally give her at least one honest answer.
"You finally looked at the results of the test you took before?" he asked instead of answering her.
Ashley remained silent. She was waiting for an answer, not another question.
Scott drew a deep breath and was about to speak when a knock suddenly came from the door. He and Ashley turned toward it, finding two people standing outside.
Lucian and Tommy.
For a moment, Scott was surprised to see Tommy. However, the surprise was short-lived, quickly replaced by relief.
"Him," he whispered, staring at Tommy as he entered with Lucian's assistance. Scott turned to Ashley and almost jokingly added, "Small world, huh?"
