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

Chapter 114 

The factory was abandoned, and the people who once lived in the alley moved. As Bradley had been awarded tens of thousands for his efforts, he was about to move to somewhere else with his wife and daughter.

Right on the night before he moved, Bradley Markle and his family were admitted to the office for food poisoning. At the same time, someone had bombed the processor of the abandoned factory.

As it was a deserted factory, not many cared about what happened to it. After Bradley and his family stayed in the hospital for three days, all but one died-his daughter. She had survived, but she could not mentally function the same as before.

However, Macy had not died because John saw me. Back then, I had just finished my exams, and I had gone to the hospital to visit Macy. At that time, I saw everything he did.

She survived, but for a long time, she could not bear to look at John.
