Ashton’s eyes darkened slightly as he walked over. His gaze fell on the bloodstain that I was trying to cover.

I had originally thought that he would move my hands away to take a look, but he did not. He simply stroked my hair and looked at me tenderly. “Go take a bath.”

I nodded and wrapped myself in a towel before getting out of bed. After a quick shower, I was still worried about Summer, so I put on the clothes that I had washed and dried last night.

Ashton was in a fresh set of clothes when I exited the bathroom. It was not what he wore yesterday, meaning that someone had brought him some new clothes.

Noticing my presence, he handed me the brown bag that was beside him. “There’re new clothes in here!”

I shook my head. “It’s fine. I’ve already changed.” I did not want to bother changing into another set of clothes.

Picking up my phone, I then gave Jared a call. It did not take long before he picked up.

“Scarlett!” He sounded like he had not slept last night as well.

I composed myself before I said, “Let’s meet at Victoria Hotel’s lobby in half an hour.”

“Okay.”

Ashton was studying me with a meaningful look in his eyes when I hung up. Since he remained silent, I asked, “What’s wrong?”
