Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Are You Dumb?

Ashton’s action of locking the door paused for a moment. In the end, Ashton did not reply to her.

Ashton just locked the door and left.

Alyssa had been thrown into the basement. Her nose bled.

Ashton returned to the study and turned on the computer to check the surveillance video in the

basement.

Alyssa’s nosebleed had not stopped, and she was in a semi-conscious state.

Deborah held Alyssa in her arms in panic, lifted her clothes, and tried to help Alyssa stop the blood

from flowing out of her nose.

But the blood could not stop. Deborah blocked the clothes under Alyssa’s nose. The blood slowly

seeped into the clothes, dyeing the

clothes red.

Alyssa let out a weak and painful voice, “Mom, it hurts.”

Deborah cried. She carried Alyssa to the door and slammed the door. “Open the door! Open the door!

Help!”

Ashton stared at the screen and felt that it was a little strange.

Ashton did not know much about leukemia. Because Alyssa had this Illness for so long. Ashton had

heard some from the doctor

about it.

Ashton thought, it is said that leukemia can easily cause bleeding. However, normal people would have

nosebleeds. It is not a big

deal.

Ashton did not understand why Deborah was so anxious. Moreover, looking at the monitor, Alyssa’s

nosebleed seemed to have not stopped, and it was still flowing out continuously.

However, Ashton just felt a little strange. Ashton did not intend to get up to help. He still sat in front of

the desk indifferently and watched the monitor screen as if he was watching a show.

Ashton thought that he had to teach Deborah a lesson this time. He wanted to lock Deborah and

Alyssa up for ten days, even half a

month.

Ashton thought, it must be because I am so kind that Deborah dared to be so unscrupulous and even

dared to sleep with another

man.

Ashton was thinking about it in his mind. When he looked at the surveillance screen again, he froze,

Deborah bit her wrist. When Deborah looked up again, blood quickly fell from her wrist. Deborah’s lips,

teeth, and face were stained

with blood.

There were no knives or dangerous items in the room. Ashton could not imagine that Deborah dared to

hurt herself like this.

Ashton stood up and saw Deborah holding Alyssa tightly and falling unconscious.

Ashton’s expression changed. When he hurried downstairs, Ashton shouted, “Dr. Wilson, come with

me!”

When Ashton rushed to the basement and opened the door, Deborah, who was lying on the ground,

heard the sound and insisted on

getting up.

Deborah saw the red dot on the ceiling of the room and knew that there was a surveillance camera.

Seeing that no one opened the door, Deborah bet that Ashton was watching the surveillance screen.

Deborah bet that Ashton was afraid that she would kill herself.

Only then did Ashton know that he had been tricked by Deborah. Ashton turned around and wanted to

go out with a cold face.

Deborah anxiously crawled over and grabbed Ashton’s trousers. “Save Alyssa. Save her.”

Ashton wanted to kick Deborah away. However, when Ashton looked down, he saw that Deborah’s

wrist was still bleeding.

Ashton couldn’t tell why. Andrew had clearly said that Deborah was in good health, but Ashton felt that

Deborah was in a particularly bad state recently.

Sometimes, when Ashton looked at Deborah, he even felt like she was

looking at a dying person.

This feeling made Ashton unhappy. When Ashton saw the blood on Deborah’s wrist, he c

her.”

coldly ordered Andrew, “Stop the bleeding for

Deborah gritted her teeth and hid her hands behind her back. “Save Alyssa first. If something happens

to Alyssa, I won’t live either.”

Ashton looked at Deborah in disgust. ‘Deborah, do you think you are qualified to threaten me?”

Ashton squatted down and suddenly pulled Alyssa out of Deborah’s arms and threw her aside. Then

Ashton pressed Deborah to the ground. “Come over and bandage her wound.”

Andrew immediately went over and looked at the small wound on Deborah’s wrist. A trace of

disappointment flashed in Andrew’s eyes. Andrew helped Deborah bandage It.

After bandaging it, Andrew said, “Sir, Ms. Shepherd is fine. The wound is very shallow. It has been

treated.”

Ashton still pressed the struggling Deborah to the ground and said coldly, ‘Get out.”

Andrew packed up his medical kit, looked at Alyssa, who was lying on the ground, and turned to leave,

Andrew thought, if Alyssa dies, Deborah will die.

Deborah was pressed to the ground by Ashton. Deborah could see Alyssa lying on the side. Alyssa’s

nose was still bleeding.

If this went on, Alyssa would die from excessive blood loss. Deborah tried her best to protect her

dignity and bottom line, but she was once again defeated.

Deborah begged, “Please save her. Leukemia causes a hematopoietic function disorder. You have to

ask a doctor to stop the bleeding. If this continues, Alyssa will die.”

Ashton sneered. He thought, so it is a hematopoietic function disorder. No wonder Deborah is so

nervous.

Ashton leaned over and approached Deborah. “What? Are you still going to divorce?”

Deborah’s face was pale as she shook her head. “No, I won’t say anymore. I was wrong It was all my

fault. Please save Alyssa.”

Ashton was not in a hurry. He continued slowly, “Last night, you sent yourself to Joseph? You also

seduced Zayne, didn’t you?”

Deborah was stunned. She said, “I … I don’t know.”

Deborah did not know what the answer Ashton wanted was.

Ashton looked impatient. ‘You still don’t admit it. Deborah, you can argue as long as your daughter can

afford to wait.”

Deborah snapped back to reality and nodded continuously. “Yes, it was me. I seduced Mr. Black last

night, and I seduced Dr. Gaige. I

am shameless. I am dirty.”

Ashton grabbed Deborah’s neck fiercely. “Deborah, how dare you say that!”

Deborah was nervous. She did not understand. Deborah thought, did I answer wrongly?

Ashton stared at Deborah and asked, “Five years ago, that night…”

“It was me. I schemed against you. I got you drunk, slept with you, and forced you to marry me after I

got pregnant.” Deborah interrupted Ashton and replied impatiently. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Deborah did not know how long Ashton wanted to tease her. Deborah only knew that Alyssa could not

wait any longer.

Ashton finally got a satisfactory answer. “So you admit that you want to marry me even in your dreams,

right? You seduced Joseph and Zayne for money, but me for love, right?”

Deborah chuckled in her mind. She thought, love?

Ashton knows how to hurt someone. Even if he forces me to death, he will still make me disgusted.

Deborah nodded like a puppet. “Yes, I love you. I want to marry you even in my dreams.”

Ashton sneered. “You are so shameless.”

Ashton finally let go of Deborah and let Andrew come in to take Alyssa away to treat her.

Deborah felt very uneasy. After Andrew’s treatment, Deborah felt that Alyssa’s condition had not

improved. Moreover, Alyssa’s

condition was rapidly deteriorating.

Deborah said with a trembling voice, “Can you send Alyssa to the hospital to treat her? She is in a very

bad condition. After all, the

medical equipment in the hospital is more complete.”

Ashton said, “Impossible. Don’t think that I don’t know what you are thinking. Stop thinking about

Zayne.”

Ashton thought of something and suddenly approached Deborah again. Ashton squatted down and

stared at Deborah. “What have you

been calling me recently?”

Deborah recalled that she had been calling Ashton by his name recently.

She thought, perhaps this made him feel offended So, Deborah answered, “Mr. Mr. Mullen.”

Ashton said, “Call me Ashton.”

Deborah was silent. No matter how she tried, Deborah could not call Ashton like that.

Ashton shouted angrily. “Are you dumb?”

Deborah endured her disgust and finally said, “Ashton

Ashton.”

Ashton stared at Deborah coldly ‘Call me that in the future, do you remember? Also, in the future, you

will live in…”

Before Ashton finished speaking. Nina rushed in and said, “Mr. Mullen, Ms. Bauer fainted as soon as

she came back!
