My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 49

"Okay," Ashlyn mumbled without opening her eyes.

Just as she was about to continue her good rest, Nancy's voice came from the broadcast speaker.

Nancy assured the passengers that they were going through turbulence but everything was under control.

Just as everyone thought things would be okay, the jittering intensified.

The flight attendants returned to their seats and fastened their seatbelts. The shaking became more serious.

"What is happening?"

"We have the right to know what is happening!"

"It's getting worse! I thought you said it would be fine?"

"Tell us what is happening!"

The passengers were getting anxious. They started questioning what was going on.

Yakov looked up and asked Ashlyn, "Are you afraid? I hope everything will be okay."

"Everything will be fine," Ashlyn replied shortly.

"Are you sure? We are high up in the sky! Geez, do they even know how to fly a plane? It takes more than just a handsome face to fly one!" Yakov teased sarcastically.

The person in front heard Yakov and readily agreed. "Yeah! No doubt he's handsome, but God knows if he can fly a plane!" the man grumbled.

Ashlyn was irritated. She rolled her eyes and refuted, "Hey guys! He is South Star Airlines' president, and he is also the best pilot here!"

"The company's president flying the plane himself? Are you for real? What a joke!" Yakov scoffed.

He was dismayed and doubtful.

The plane shook fiercely again.

"Oh, I might really die here!" Yakov complained.

"If the pilot were a little more experienced, this probably wouldn't be happening. This captain has no skills at all!"

When it came to Lucas' competence and professionalism, Ashlyn never once doubted him. They were married for four years, so she saw how much work he put into physical training and his company. He was second to none.

Although they were already divorced, Ashlyn would still readily defend him. What more when these foreigners were questioning her fellow countryman?

She knew where her loyalty lay and she would not just watch them question Lucas.

She smiled confidently and challenged him, saying, "If you doubt him, why not you go and do it?"

These people only knew how to criticize people.

No one dared to answer. But they were still dissatisfied and scared.

This was a matter of life and death.

Everyone was fearful-some of them began to prattle on about what was happening, others were lambasting the cabin crew, asking for an explanation. Nancy went into the cockpit and reported, "Captain Nolan, the passengers are all nervous and agitated. Ms. Berry even got into a fight with Yakov because of you." Lucas had no time to reply her. He fixed his eyes on the radar image.

Outside, Ashlyn was busy thinking. The shaking was just too serious; this was no normal turbulence.

She looked outside towards the immense darkness enveloping the plane and squinted.

Just as she was trying to make sense of what was happening, the plane shook wildly.

It was serious this time. Jenny reflexively held on to the seat handle.

Meanwhile, Nancy just got out of the cockpit, but the intense shaking threw her to the ground and she rolled towards the cockpit door until her head knocked against it. She let out a cry and shriveled up in pain. Holding her head, she groaned as her vision became blurry.

"Purser!"

The nearest flight attendant crawled toward her carefully as she went to check on Nancy.

The bags and luggage in the overhead compartment slammed against each other as if they would fall out anytime.

Hearing Nancy's shriek, Ashlyn stood up without losing a moment and walked toward the cockpit.
