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

Chapter 792

At that thought, I could not suppress a bitter laugh. “They’ve thought things through, haven’t they? They even had the courtesy to keep my body in one piece.”

Ashton grimaced in anger. “Something like this will never happen again.”

I snuggled against him, confident that he would be investigating this thoroughly. “If you managed to find out who it was, I’d like to meet the person!”

Nora entered the ward. Her eyes looked swollen like she had been crying for a long time.

At the sight of me sitting up in bed, she paid no heed to Ashton and ran over to my other side and threw herself onto me. “You’re finally awake,” she sobbed. “You’ve been asleep for three whole days! I’d thought that you have left me behind and don’t want to take me to K City anymore.”
