Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 257

Hearing Ashley’s words, Valentin still stayed calm, but his pupils trembled slightly.

He felt strangely nervous, with mixed emotions in his eyes. He stared at Ashley closely all the time and

said magnetically, “Hence, will you reply to me now?”

Ashley raised her chin proudly. “I’ll tell you after you’ve had breakfast.”

Valentin’s eyebrows rose imperceptibly. He was a little surprised, then lowered his head, chuckled, and

said helplessly and indulgently, “Don’t bully me, Ashley.”

His tone sounded a little aggrieved and pitiful.

Ashley instantly got angry. “I never bullied you.”

Valentin causally glanced at the dishes on the table, raised his eyelids, and looked at her delicate face.

“I’m not in the mood for breakfast.”

Ashley was speechless.

“In that case, you must have the breakfast, either.”

He just woke up and needed breakfast to recharge.

Moreover, Ashley needed several minutes to get prepared.

In the series she had watched before, a girl confessed to a boy pink flowers. Ashley found it cliche but

extremely romantic.

It would be monotonous for her to confess to Valentin in the d

ward.

But she wouldn’t be able to improvise the flowers.

Ashley recalled other series she had watched. A boy confessed to a

a hot air balloon, but they almost fell to their deaths.

But Ashley found the hot air balloon interesting.

She intended to improvise a hot air balloon.

But she immediately dismissed the idea.

anymore.

Ashley glanced at the deserted ward and then at the delicate Valentin. She was

in thought and anxious.

When she found Valentin refused the breakfast, she felt more anxious.

“Have your breakfast now. Why are you staring at me?”

Valentin looked at her leisurely and raised his eyebrows slightly. “What are you thinking about, Ashley?”

“It’s none of your business!” Ashley made an excuse causally and added, “I wondered what to do if you

didn’t wake up today.”

Hearing this, Valentin indeed thought about it seriously.

After speaking, Ashley regretted it. She smacked her mouth and blinked her eyes. “I made that up. I’m

sure you’ll wake up.”

Valentin still looked pale. His eyes blushed due to illness. Seeing Ashley’s lovely look, he couldn’t help

but chuckle and then smile. His smile was like a ray of warm sunshine that could melt all the cold.

Ashley was used to his dashing appearance before, but she couldn’t help but feel touched now.

Valentin’s voice sounded hoarse, with a bit of sexuality for no reason. “I figured it out. It doesn’t matter

if I can’t wake up.”

Ashley frowned and disliked the subject.

Valentin spoke slowly, with the utmost rationality.

“You are my wife and the first heir. If I die, you can inherit all my property and power. In that case, you

can live a pampered life and whatever you want, so I can rest assured.”

When Valentin finished speaking, Ashley’s eyes widened in shock. Sh even couldn’t utter a word for a

moment. “Why did you consider abo it?”

Valentin grinned as if talking about something completely normal. “It’s my responsibility to consider it

for you.”

Valentin’s words echoed in Ashley’s cars.

But she didn’t think so.

Ashley looked at him with tearful eyes. Her heart rate quickened, so did her breathing rate, and she

even raised her voice. “After all you’ve done for me, don’t you want to be there for me all the time?”

Valentin nodded seriously. “I want to.”

If he couldn’t be there for her, what if someone bullied her?

Even if he couldn’t be there for her, he would ensure she lived a happy

life.

Hearing his words, Ashley’s long eyelashes trembled in touch. She could feel Valentin’s care for her,

and she was shocked and distressed at the same time.

She couldn’t accept Valentin’s assumptions.

Ashley glared at him in anger and suppressed her trembling voice. “Shut up from now on! Have the

breakfast first!”

Valentin no longer refuted.

After breakfast, Ashley asked him to rest while she cleaned up the remaining dishes.

Valentin wanted to help her, but Ashley refused.

After finishing packing, she turned around and found Valentin rubbing his forehead with his fingers and

frowning slightly. Ashley immediately asked nervously, “Do you have a headache? What’s wrong with

you?”

Valentin shook his head slightly. “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt very much.”

“What are you talking about?” Ashley was nervous about his every move now and said, “I’ll have the

doctor over right now.”

After a while, the dean hurriedly came to the ward.

Ashley immediately explained Valentin’s situation.

The dean hurriedly asked, “Mr. Kingsley, do you feel dizzy and nauseated besides having a

headache?”

Valentin said in a low voice, “No.”

The dean slowly breathed a sigh of relief and explained, “The headache is caused by the blow to the

head. If you can’t bear the pain, you can try taking painkillers.”

Valentin replied, “No need.”

Ashley asked worriedly, “Dean, how to treat the headache?”

If Valentin suffered from headaches for the rest of his life, he would always be in pain.

Valentin bore the pain this time without painkillers, but what should he do next time?

Ashley hoped his condition would be cured once and for all.

The dean explained, “Don’t worry, Ms. Ramos. We will formulate a suitable treatment plan for Mr.

Kingsley.”

Ashley replied, “Well, then I’ll trouble you.”

It lasted for more than twenty minutes before Valentin’s headache dissipated.

After the dean left the ward, Ashley looked at Valentin’s pale face and felt distressed. If only Valentin

hadn’t saved her when the chandelier fell.

She really didn’t want Valentin to suffer because of her.

Seeing Ashley’s sorrowful expression, Valentin shook his head helplessly and pulled her before him.

“Don’t overthink about it. It really doesn’t hurt.”

“I’m not a child, and you can’t fool me!

He chuckled softly, opened his arms, and said, “Well, if you hug me, won’t hurt then.”

Ashley was speechless.

Valentin’s words wouldn’t fool her.

But Ashley still hugged him without hesitation.

Not long after, George, Lester, and Jaden heard about Valentin’s condition and came to visit him.

Valentin didn’t get seriously injured. They all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Valentin still looked a little pale. They stayed in the ward for a while, then stood up to leave

for fear of disturbing him.

Ashley followed Jaden outside the ward and asked, “How about Jessica’s
