At the end of the day, he may have sounded rather harsh, but it was all for our own good.
Feeling guilty, I looked down and was about to apologize when I heard Ashton’s almost hoarse voice. “It’s my fault for not being able to suppress myself. Don’t worry, Professor Zidd, I guarantee that this situation will not happen again.”
Hearing that, Emery coughed out loud a few times which embarrassed me greatly. I did not even dare to look at her then.
When Ashton saw that Professor Zidd’s solemn expression remained, he fell silent and reached out to hold me by my shoulders as he looked at Professor Zidd sincerely. With a heartfelt voice, he said, “Professor Zidd, we have already experienced the excruciating pain of losing a child twice.”
Then, he choked on his voice slightly before looking at me with affection. “My wife has suffered greatly because of these two miscarriages. Trust me. I really want this in-vitro fertilization process to go smoothly more than anyone else. As her husband, it was negligence on my part, and I will not seek excuses for myself, but I still hope that you will empathize with our desire to be parents and give us another chance. We will definitely not disappoint you again.”
I was actually quite moved by what Ashton said, and at that very moment, I wanted nothing more than to be by his side.
I reached out to put my hand on his and smiled as I looked up at him. Then, I turned to look at Professor Zidd earnestly and said, “Professor Zidd, I was the one who seduced him last night, so you can’t blame him!”
I spoke loudly, thinking that I was being righteous.
However, the moment I finished speaking, it was as if every single molecule in the air had frozen on the spot!
