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

Ashton looked at me for a long time before saying, “Okay. Since you want to stop here, I won’t do

anything for now. I’ll let you keep this footage, in case one day you would need it.”

Then, he copied the file into a USB drive and handed it to me.

I took it and leaned on his shoulder, feeling touched. “Ashton, I feel like I always cause you trouble.”

He smiled and lifted my chin with his finger. With a solemn look on him, he said, “Don’t always deny

yourself, Scarlett. You’re very outstanding. No one on earth would risk their lives to go into such a cold

place for my stomach. And no one would reject those exceptional men to be with me. In fact, I should be

the one to say thank you. You’re the one who makes my life whole.”

I blushed at his words. Is this his love declaration for me?

A sense of warmth swept through me that instant.

We would probably still argue with one another, get angry at each other, or quarrel because of some

trivial matters, but we knew in the depths of our hearts that we belonged only to each other, and no one

could separate us.

In a nutshell, the tender in A City was won by Derek, and Rachel would be fully in charge of the project.

Winter came, and Ashton and I went back to K City.

Nora called me one day, saying that she and Armond had come back from overseas. Even though

Armond was left unhurt, the Murphy Corporation had suffered a great loss from the previous incident.

Thus, he did not have the ability to retaliate against the Fuller Corporation for the time being.

Time flew by, and it was now the end of November.

Two days after arriving in K City, I settled down and phoned Sasha’s mother. Previously, I had transferred

about a million into her bank card, so she told me not to give them any more money. She also said that

they had given up on the medical treatment, so they had left the hospital and brought Renee to see the

outside world.

After a few rings, the call went through. I could hear the sound of wind blowing from the other side of the

line, and Sasha’s mother greeted, “Mrs. Fuller, it’s been a long time since we’ve contacted each other.

How are you?”

I greeted back and asked, “Mrs. Brooks, where are you guys now? Is Renee feeling better? I really think

that you should come back and bring her to the hospital again. I believe it can still be cured.”

Upon that, she sighed, “Mrs. Fuller, thank you for all that you’ve done for Sasha and us. Actually, my

husband and I have brought Renee to Turlen. We’ve never traveled overseas, so this time we brought

Renee here to fulfill Sasha’s wish. As for Renee, we won’t continue the treatment anymore. Thank God

she has been well these few days. Maybe when we’re done traveling around here, her health condition

would have improved by then.”

I was taken aback for a second, but when I was about to reply to her, the call was disconnected. It was

probably because of a bad signal.

Everyone perceived the meaning of life differently. Thus, I respected their decision to bring Renee to

Turlen. Maybe she could be cured by the vast blue sky and the towering mountain peaks there. After all,

who would know?

After putting down the phone, I headed straight to the Moore Residence. Cameron said that Summer

was having a fever again. When I reached there, she was sleeping soundly on her bed.

“She took her breakfast today, and she’s been sleeping since then,” Cameron said as she looked at

Summer worriedly.

I placed my hand on her warm forehead and sighed, “Summer was born prematurely and did not get

much breast milk when she was a toddler, so I guess that’s why she is a sickly child. That time when she

was at R Province, her health was not as bad as now. Perhaps the poor air quality in K City causes her

immune system to become weaker.”

When I said that, Cameron sighed as well, “These few days I’ve been preparing a lot of nutritious food

for her, but she doesn’t seem to eat much and gets thinner and thinner. Indeed, R province is a place of

nature, so it would be a better place for her. Perhaps both of you should bring her there and let her

convalesce at R province. The most important thing for a child like her is to have a healthy body.”

I nodded in agreement. Recently, I had been thinking about this matter. Now that I did not need to work

at the Murphy Corporation anymore, I was actually quite free. But if I brought Summer to R Province

alone, Ashton might want to follow along, and that would interfere with his job. Besides, Armond was still

a threat to the Fuller Corporation. If Ashton were to make a slip or two, I’m sure Armond would pounce

on the Fuller Corporation immediately.

“After Ashton takes care of everything here, we will move to R Province for some time,” I replied, looking

at Summer’s sunken cheeks. Sasha’s daughter is about her age, too.

Cameron nodded and said, “You should advise Ashton not to spend too much time on work. The two of

you are not young anymore. I had consulted a doctor about your condition, Scarlett. You’re not infertile.

It’s just that you needed time to recover from your previous injury. After so many years have passed, I

believe your body can conceive again. Therefore, I do hope that both of you would go to the hospital

someday. After all, you two need to have a baby of your own. By the way, a few days ago, I bumped into

Sally at the hospital. She was with a man about her age, and I saw them going to the obstetrics and

gynaecology department. I was curious, so I asked around and was told that she was planning to

conceive.”
