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

That day, we waited patiently for Wilson to wake up at the hospital. After discussing all the compensation details with him, John sent me back home.

As he stopped his car at the entrance of the villa, there was a beam of warm light coming from inside the door.

I was reluctant to get out of the car as I could imagine what would happen next. Audrey would surely come running to hug and say she missed me. And then, she would routinely ask about Summer and Ashton’s whereabouts.

I feared my tears might break loose in front of them.

Noticing my concerns, John patted on my shoulder gently. “Keep yourself together. It would be a difficult battle from now on. I’ll fetch Emma and Drew here. It’s better if the whole family sticks together.”

Not only was he my brother, but he was also Emma’s husband and Drew’s father. The longer he stayed with me, the higher risk he was putting his wife and his kid in.

I knew I should not be so selfish. Thus, I smiled while opening the car door.

Before I walked in, John rolled down the car window and comforted me, “I’ll be back here in around an hour. Please make supper or something if you can’t sleep.”
