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

Chapter 104 

After going through all the formalities that required signatures and completing all related procedures, I passed the documents to Joe. Jared had entered the operating room.

Joe did not look pleased when I handed him the documents. “Scarlett, what’s the meaning of this?”

“Isn’t it clear?” I looked at him, eyebrows creased. “I’ve done everything I’m required to, so I don’t think I’m needed here anymore.”

“Is that how you perform your role as a wife?” Joe sneered. “Your husband is lying in there right now, and you’re here thinking of ways to stay far away. Is this how a wife should behave?”

The whole scene was hilarious. I looked at Rebecca, who was drowning in misery on one side, then turned to face Joe. I laughed. “I must say, I don’t know what other people’s wives would do when they find out their husband and his mistress have been involved in a car accident. But, in my case, the fact that I refused to delay Ashton’s operation is the greatest kindness I can give him. To be honest, if it weren’t for the sake of my unborn child, I’d rather not sign at all.”

“Scarlett, you’re a vile woman!” Rebecca cut in before Joe could respond.

I nodded, glaring at her twisted features. “Yes, I guess I’m quite vicious, but that’s not enough. I should have prayed for the two of you to die together in that car crash, like a pair of lovers.”

“Scarlett, don’t you have a heart?” Joe berated. He could not tolerate me cursing at his sweetheart.

Anything else I said would be taken as tongue-in-cheek. I regarded the operating room, with its lights on, then turned to
