A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 268

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 268

Turning on her charms, Ashley thanked Finnick sweetly, “Thank you, Mr. Norton,”

However, Finnick was immune towards other woman and their tricks, except for Vivian. “Have a good rest,” He replied emotionlessly.

Finnick kept his promise as he ordered Noah to arrange the call for Ashley and Emma to meet before he left.

In the afternoon, after Ashley was discharged, Noah drove her to a house in the outer suburbs to let her have her video call with Emma.

In the video, Emma was sitting in a shabby-looking house. With its mottled walls and dirty floors, the house looked to be in poor condition. Aside from that, the room was poorly insulated due to the broken windows.

Emma was relieved when she saw Ashley in good condition. However, she couldn’t help but burst into tears at the thought of her current situation.

She looked filthy and skinny. She also looked haggard, as if she had been working tirelessly without rest.

Ashley cried as her heart felt like it was sliced into half at the sight of her mother’s misery.

As the saying goes, a mother’s heart aches at the sight of her child’s injury. The same could be said when a child was forced to see how their mother was suffering.

Emma had always been treated like a queen. She lived in a villa with housemaids to serve her. For her to experience such suffering… I couldn’t imagine how terrible she must have felt! Ashley thought to herself as her heart ached in pain.

Noah closed the door behind as he left the room.

Once he was gone, Ashley cried while asking, “Mom, a-are you alright?”

“Yes… I’m fine…” Emma covered her mouth as tears streamed down her face.

How could I possibly say that I’m being severely punished? My days here are like hell! I’m forced to work like a slave, and the meals are horrible. There’s no meat like fish and chicken, and instead, I’d be considered lucky to have leftovers.
