Chapter 495

After all, living under someone’s roof was not a long-term solution. Charlotte had experienced the bitterness of that

for years.

I can only rely on myself.

Meanwhile, Ashlyn was peeling an apple for her grandma in her ward.

She had been quite busy recently. When she was not busy with Fashion Week, she would be searching for Charlotte.

Besides the two tasks, she was also busy with the development of the antidote.

She had not been able to take a breather at all.

“Grandma, I think I won’t be able to visit you as frequently anymore,” she said while slicing the apple into small

pieces and put them on a plate. She then presented them in front of her.

Her grandma stared at her in surprise. She had been recovering a lot lately. The doctor said she would be

discharged from the hospital in a few days.

“Ashlyn, what’s wrong?”

Ashlyn decided not to tell her about the Backtrack poison. “It’s nothing. It’s just that I’ll probably be busy for a

while.”

If I tell her, she can’t do anything anyway. All it will do is add more burden to her.

Her grandma sighed, “I tend to forget I can’t always have my grandchild around me.” She ate a slice of the apple

when suddenly, she hesitated as her expression changed. “I need your help with something.”

“What is it?”

“It’s about your dad. Ashlyn, he’s your father no matter what. I know people make mistakes, but I beg of you,

Ashlyn. Please bail him out. I hear that it’s a tough life in jail. Your dad has never gone through any hardships in his

life.”

When Susan thought about her son suffering in jail, her heart stung. Because of that, she could not sleep nor eat.

Ashlyn frowned. “Grandma, he committed a crime and broke the law. I don’t make the laws, so I can’t save him.”

“If you can’t, there’s still Mr. Nolan. He has a big influence. Besides, it’s not like your dad murdered someone or

something. Why can’t he be saved?” Susan panicked. “Should I just ask Mr. Nolan, then?”

“Grandma, even Lucas can’t save him. He’s the one who committed the crime. It doesn’t depend on influence and

power,” replied Ashlyn dejectedly.

Susan became angrier when she heard this. It was one thing for Ashlyn to not visit her that often lately. She was

enraged as she felt like her grandchild was avoiding her.

As expected, her speculations were right.

In plainer words, Ashlyn never had the intention to rescue Horace Berry!

But he’s my son and my life!

“Ashlyn, don’t you think you’ve gone overboard? Is this how you repay your father for raising you? I know he did

wrong, but he’s still your father. As a daughter, it’s only proper to save him. In any case, I’ve been treating you well

all these years. I’m the one who raised you after your mom died. Is this also how you repay me?” uttered her

grandma harshly.

Ashlyn could not believe her ears.

Is this really my grandma? Her biasness towards her son is unbelievable! He’s the one who committed a crime, but

I’m the one she’s blaming? It’s my fault that dad’s in jail because I don’t want to save him? What kind of logic is

this?

“Grandma, how could you say something like that? He’s the one who sinned, not me. I’m forever grateful that you

raised me. However, I’m not the law nor the judge.”

Her words angered Susan to the point that tears started streaming down her face. “Have you forgotten everything I

did for you? Since when have you become such an ungrateful wretch? Your dad is still your dad even though he

made mistakes. Why are you so cruel? Had I known you’d become like this, I wouldn’t have treated you well.”

As she sobbed, the scene broke Ashlyn’s heart.

In the end, she was her grandma who had raised her.

Ashlyn had always thought she was the closest to her grandma. When Horace and his wife abused her grandma,

Ashlyn had been kept in the dark. Because of that, Ashlyn had always felt guilty about this. She thought she had

failed to protect her grandma.
