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

I clenched my fists and pressed my lips together, determined to put my foot down. “You’re not taking Summer anywhere. She’s my daughter.”

Jackson stopped walking and turned back. “Your daughter is the one who’s inside your stomach right now. Do you know who crashed into Macy and caused her to lose so much blood? One of Cameron’s drivers. It was her plan all along. I saw Cameron and Zachary come find you once. If Ashton didn’t try to exchange your life with Rebecca, then none of this would have happened. Macy would still be alive.”

Even a grown man like Jackson couldn’t help but start getting choked up while bringing up the tragedy. “I don’t know why you wanted to force me together with that Anderson woman, but I’m sure about one thing. Just based on how differently Cameron treated you before and after finding out you were her biological daughter, I’m sure Summer will feel the same after you give birth to your own children. Since you chose to forgive Cameron and to have your own children so quickly, you should let Summer go. Macy’s life may have ended much too soon, but I will not let that happen to Summer.”

Cameron was the one who killed Macy?

My stomach suddenly started hurting a little and I instinctively placed my hand over it protectively. In slight disbelief, I asked, “What are you talking about? You told me it was just an accident. Also, when did I ever force you to deal with Cameron?”
