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

Chapter 247

Ashton looked at me, his lips curving up into a smirk.

I ignored him and said into the phone, “Alright, I got it. I’ll hang up now.”

After I ended the call, Ashton’s eyes were still on me while his face seemed to have become a few more shades darker. “What plans do you have in mind? Even Louis Stovall is involved?”

“I’m planning to..” Divorce you!

However, I stopped myself halfway when I remembered that I still had to persuade him to give up acquiring OrbitTech. If I provoked him now, it would be difficult to get his cooperation later on.

Glancing at Jared, I asked, “Dr. Crest, would you like to eat together?”

Jared’s eyes darted toward Ashton, and his mouth tugged upward slightly upon seeing the sullen look on his friend’s face. Then, he nodded. “Sure. I’m actually quite hungry now.”

We went into the kitchen together to find that Mrs. Eriksen had prepared quite a spread. A short while later, Ashton joined us in the kitchen as well.

Both men sitting beside me were brought up in similarly strict households, so their lessons kicked in and they kept silent throughout their entire meal.

After eating, Mrs. Eriksen tidied up the kitchen. I automatically extended my hand toward Jared, who was beside me. “Recently, I’ve been experiencing insomnia, headaches, and anxiety. Take a look and see what’s wrong with me.”

Jared’s mouth arched up as he glanced fleetingly at the silent Ashton before raising his brows at me. “Alright.”

After doing the routine procedure of examining me, he reported in a solemn tone, “You have too many health problems. Firstly, you have severe gastritis, so pay attention to your diet from now on. Your insomnia has led to a weak heart rate, so your heart isn’t in very good shape now. Your poor blood circulation is probably because you didn’t focus on recuperating after giving birth. You have to take good care of yourself to recover from all these health problems.”

I nodded and withdrew my hand. When he lowered his head to prescribe the relevant medicine, I turned to Ashton with a faint smirk. “Aren’t you going to let Dr. Crest take a look at you?”
