When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Chapter 133

“Clack!” Suddenly the cup that John held was being released and it landed on the table producing a

sound. “If you are really unperturbed, why did you leave Fuller Corporation so disgracefully? Letty, if you

truly don’t care about it, then you should divorce Ashton quickly for the sake of your pride.”

“It is none of your business how I want to divorce or the way in which I use to divorce. John, I appreciate

your concern. However, it is just appreciation. Please don’t get involved in my matters in the future. Since

we used to be siblings, I am begging of you!”

With that, I turned my back. “Thanks for the tea, both of you. It’s getting late and I need to go back now!”

I left the private room without waiting for their reply.

Soon after I left the room, a smashing sound of the glass from inside could be heard faintly.

Nevertheless, I didn’t really stop but walked along the corridor to go down the stairs.

Macy was at the lobby of the cafe waiting for me. She stood up and trotted towards me upon seeing my

appearance. She worriedly asked, “Are you okay? Did he cause any trouble?”

I shook my head while grabbing her hands tightly. “Nope. It is late now. Let’s go home!”

She looked up and glimpsed at the second floor dreadfully. John with an emotionless face had already

come out from the private room as he stood along the corridor watching us quietly.

She then grabbed me tightly and nodded. “Alright. Let’s go home!”

We left the cafe while she held my hands without turning her head back.

It was past midnight by the time we reached our neighborhood. Upon taking a simple shower, we went to

bed together. Recently, I had an unexplained fear which resulted in me not being able to drop off alone.

Luckily, Macy was sleeping by my side. With her company, I slept through the night.

On the next day…

Q City is famous for its fine weather. It was just seven in the morning. The ray of morning sunlight

streamed through the gap of the curtain into the room with a vague sight and it was beautiful.

While looking up at the ceiling blankly, my mobile phone on top of the bedside table started vibrating.

Then, I extended my hand to get it and look at the incoming call shown. It was from a relatively familiar

number.

Anyhow, I couldn’t recall who it was. Then, I picked up the mobile phone. “Hello!”

“Where are you?” the voice sounded a bit cold yet very familiar. I was dumbfounded at first. As I got hold

of myself, it was Dr. Crest who called. Then, I spoke spontaneously. “Dr. Crest?”

So far, he had been talking to me gently. I can’t help but wondered why he is so cold today.

There was a moment of silence over the phone. Then, Dr. Crest with a toned-down voice asked,

“Scarlett, are you with Macy?”|

In a hindsight, I only realized that this mobile phone belonged to Macy after looking at it clearly

I was shocked and spoke over the phone. “Yes, how are you doing lately?”

Nick told me that he was inside the intense care unit all the while. I guessed that he already came out

from there. I opened my mouth when Ashton came across my mind but in the end, I didn’t mention

anything about him.

“Yes, I have been inside the operation theater all this while. Joe told me about the happening at Fuller

Corporation. Anyway, don’t think too much. I’ll go back to J City tomorrow. Let’s catch up then.” Dr.

Crest’s voice sounded very gentle as he meant to console me.

I nodded with some relief and responded, “Alright. Don’t worry as I am not in J City now. Perhaps, a few

days later.”

“Where have you all been?” He asked as he seemed to sense that my tone was a bit impatient just now.

He paused before continuing to ask, “You are away to ease your mood?”

I didn’t think much and replied, “At K City Well, presumably yes.”

Macy who slept beside me had awoken probably due to my conversation on the phone. Then, she turned

over her body as she looked at me and queried with a hoarse voice. “Who’s call was that?”

I told her in a soft voice. “Dr. Crest. It seems like he is looking for you!” I passed her the mobile phone

while talking to her.

Her expression changed while receiving the mobile phone. Then, she stood up and went to the balcony.

I also stood up and searched for my mobile phone. Then, I glanced through the screen but there were no

messages. The chat box with Ashton was empty on WhatsApp

My chest felt tight and I was feeling rather uncomfortable. Nonetheless, I got up and washed up in the

bathroom,

When I came out from the bathroom, Maqy was looking at me with an unpleasant expression.

I was shocked. “What happen?”

“You told him that we are in Q City?” asked Macy.

I nodded while my heart missed a beat. Then, I tried to ask, “Does the baby belong to Dr. Crest?”

“No!” She was about to tell me but after pausing a while, she said, “I will take a shower now. You can

pack up first. We’ll stay in the countryside for few days.”

.

“Huh?” I was astounded. “Why are we going to the countryside again? We just came to Q City!”

“Ashton should be back in J City now. Do you want to meet up with him to sort thing out?” Macy seemed

to be upset and said softly, “Letty, I don’t wish to have anything to do with any of these people ever

again. You have already left Fuller Corporation. If you are reluctant to let go of him, then you can go back

to him and start afresh. However, if you are able to let go, then we’ll leave that place together and stay

far away from them, okay?”

Was she referring to Ashton or Jared?

Macy was a very decisive person. I knew that once she had made up her mind to leave, then there would

be no turning back.

I was stupefied as my mind was in a mess. Do I continue to be on good terms with Ashton?” I refused to

accept the entanglement between him and Rebecca whether it was in the past, present, or the

future. However, I was reluctant to break up with Ashton. Furthermore, I already had his baby and I didn’t

want the child to be born without a father’s love.
