“It hurts!” He was still lying on the ground without moving and just complaining about the pain.

At that, I could not help being a little worried, so I got down from the bed and went towards him. I saw

that his forehead was badly bruised, and I felt a little sorry for him. “Sh*t, what the hell happened? I’m so

sorry. Let me take care of it right away!”

I helped him onto the bed, and then I went to get some ointment. Maybe because of the bump, he was

sitting very quietly on the bed, without moving an inch. I got the ointment and sat at the bedside to put

some on his head. In a short while, someone came to repair the door.

After I applied some ointment for Ashton, I greeted the locksmith and sent them away after everything

was done. They had installed a new digital lock, and the password was set to Nora’s birthday.

When I returned to the bedroom, Ashton was lying in bed, apparently, asleep.

Seeing that the bruise on his forehead was less swollen now, I was relieved. After that, I turned off the

lights and lay down right next to him. As soon as I closed my eyes, Ashton’s arm was around me. “Go to

sleep!” I frowned and said.

“I sleep better with you in my arms,” he uttered childishly. This was obviously nonsense.

Due to what happened today at Tessa’s and the incident at Lavelian Village, I couldn’t help thinking of my

previous accident in the hospital. I moved my body and leaned in to Ashton. “Ashton, did you investigate

the accident that happened when I was in the hospital?”

He had not talked to me about this all this while. Moreover, due to the series of unfortunate events, I had

also nearly forgotten about this.

The man put his arm around me and his chin on my shoulders. He was touching my ear all the time while

speaking, and it was a little itchy. “This matter is related to Armond. Tessa and Abe both participated in it,

and the hospital surveillance system was damaged. There was no way to get evidence.”

“Tessa?” I was surprised. “How did she get involved?”

“The anesthesia in the hospital was given to you by Abe’s men. It was Abe who took you away. Their

initial purpose was to make you disappear for a few hours, but after they handed you to Tessa, they

didn’t expect her to take you to the morgue and put you in the freezer.” He put his arms around me and

sighed, “Your friend is viler than you realize. Do avoid her as far as possible next time. In fact, it’s better if

you don’t meet up with her at all.”

When he finished that, I was stunned for a moment. I still couldn’t fully get what he was saying, so I

asked, “Did you mean to say that Abe and Tessa joined forces to harm me?”

He nodded, “After you were given anesthetics, Abe took you into the elevator. But when you got out of

the elevator, Tessa took over. Their plan was to let Tessa take you to a hidden place and let you sleep for

a few days so that I would not have the peace of mind to take care of the things in Lavelian Village.

However, they didn’t expect Tessa to send you there, let alone that I would save you.”

I froze for a few seconds before digesting what he meant. Then I frowned and looked at him. “Tessa took

me away today to threaten you, so you would not prosecute Armond. Yet you have already contacted the

police and lawyers. Is it possible for you to change anything now?”

He nodded, “Before the case is filed, everything can be changed. Today is the last day to do so.”

I pursed my lips silently for a while and said, “But isn’t Abe already dead? Tessa has been with me all

day, and she couldn’t have threatened you. Who else is involved in this?”

He raised his hand to my zipper while his voice was low and resonant. “I haven’t figured this out yet!”

Realizing that he was going to kiss me, I avoided him and said, “How is Armond today? Did you let him

go?”

He stretched out his hand to pull me close into his arms, his voice husky, “Mm-hmm!”

I frowned at his response. “He almost killed you, Ashton. How could he let him go so easily? You’re going

too easy on him.”

Nonetheless, he was distracted. The man merely hummed a response and trapped me between his legs.

I opened my eyes wide and raised my hand to push him away. “Ashton, stop it!”

“Oh, for goodness’ sake, Scarlett! We’re married!” His voice was a little hoarse. I pursed my lips, pushed

him away slightly, and distanced myself from him. “Not today… I’m too sleepy.”

It was true as I slept quite a lot lately.

However, he didn’t let me go, so I pursed my lips and said, “Ashton, I’m really sleepy. I don’t want to!”

This went on for a while.

That night, I was reluctant. Ashton stopped after trying to persuade me a few times. After that, he held

me and muttered, “When we have time, we need to make a visit to the hospital!”

At that moment, I was too sleepy to reply sensibly.

The weather was quite rough the next day.

It had been half a month since we came to A City. Cameron called and said that Summer had been

prone to catching a cold recently. She didn’t know that until she took Summer out.

It didn’t come much of a surprise to me since K City was cold, and Summer was born prematurely. For all

these years, I had lived with her in R Province, and the weather there was just right, so she rarely got

sick. Two years ago, we moved to K City suddenly. Hence, with the change in environment, the girl would

easily catch a cold now and then. However, this was all considered normal since she needed time to get

used to the new environment.
