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

Chapter 172

Although I was afraid of John, instinctively, I couldn’t bear to forsake him because we used to spend a lot of time together back in the day-he was a brother from another mother of mine in spite of the vicious things that he had done over the years.

Ashton’s body stiffened all of a sudden. He turned around and stared at me in disbelief. The initially wrathful man stopped and lost himself in the process of thought, with disappointment being written all over his face.

I stared at him and cast the baton that I had with me aside. As my vision blurred due to the torrents of grief that rushed out of my eyes, I got down on my knees and begged, “Stop it! He’s going to die for real!

Ashton moved his lips in an attempt to say something, yet he seemed to be at a loss for words.

Mrs. Eriksen rushed out as soon as she heard the commotion. She shouted when she caught a glimpse of the horrifying scene. “Oh, God! What’s going on? What the hell is wrong with all of you?”

I ignored Ashton as I rushed over to John’s side.

His entire face was drenched in blood as he lay on the ground statically, behaving as though he had passed out.

“Hey! Are you okay? I’ll rush you to the hospital at once!” I tried to check on his leg because I recalled that Ashton had delivered a few kicks on his leg that had gone through a few surgical operations before.

The gravely injured man stopped me as he assured me with a bright grin, “It’s fine! Don’t worry! It doesn’t hurt at all!”

He shouldn’t have repeated the words of assurance that he used to tell me. I ended up wailing in front of him as tears gushed down my cheeks uncontrollably.
