Raymond had taken her to Lena's ward once, but she still couldn't remember the direction. But, she didn't really care.
Lena's room was not too far from hers. The elevator stopped on the fourth floor. Raymond led Ashley into the room.
Just as they were walking in, they bumped into Peggy, who was on her way out.
Peggy wore an expensive purple dress. Although she was a mother of two children, she still maintained herself very well. She clearly had no stress in life, and she looked like a woman in her forties.
She was blessed with good features, which made her look elegant. Ron and Lena definitely inherited their good looks from her.
Her expression turned sour when she saw Ashley.
She asked in disgust, "Why are you here? Haven't you hurt Lena enough? You're such an evil woman! How dare you show up here?"
Peggy raised her hand and she was about to slap Ashley.
Ashely narrowed her eyes and stepped behind Raymond to shield herself.
For his part, Raymond stopped Peggy and said, "Mrs. Mu! It's me who asked her to come here. She is here to apologize to Lena."
For Raymond's sake, Peggy put down her hand but she wasn't going to go easy on Ashley.
She sneered, "Apologize? She doesn't look sorry at all. Are you sure that's what she is here for? Lena's baby is gone. What's the point of her apology? It doesn't change anything."
Ashley didn't respond. She just looked at Peggy with a bland expression. Raymond cut in, "Mrs. Mu, Lena asked me to arrange this. Please let Ashley see Lena first."
Peggy barked, "No way! Lena is still in recovery. She doesn't have time for random people, especially her! If her condition worsens after seeing her, what are you going to do?"
Her words were nasty, but she had a point.
As far as she was concerned, Ashley caused Lena's miscarriage. So seeing Ashley right now might not be a good idea for Lena.
Lena was watching them arguing by the door. She didn't speak, but she was looking at Ashley smugly.
Ashley really didn't want to be here in the first place. She wasn't planning to put up with any of this.
"Since no one wants me here, I will just leave then," she said.
With that, she turned around, ready to leave.
Peggy jeered, "Humph! You shouldn't even be here! Lena isn't someone you can see as you please!"
Realizing that Ashley was about to escape, Lena couldn't keep quiet anymore. She said weakly, "Is my sis here?"
Ashley didn't respond to her charade.
Peggy walked to her and said, "Yes, she is. But, please don't tell me you still want to see her! Lena, have you forgotten that she is the one who caused your miscarriage?"
As expected, Lena's face turned pale when she heard Peggy's words. Her body was shaking. It seemed that she could hardly absorb this information.
Her timid and baleful expression almost won everyone's heart.
However, Ashley stood still not revealing her expression. Biting her lips, Lena finally gained some strength. She said, "I believe Ashley didn't mean to do it. It was an accident. If she is here, can I talk to her? Mother, please!"
