In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 133

“Clack!” Suddenly the cup that John held was being released and it landed on the table producing a sound. “If you are really unperturbed, why did you leave Fuller Corporation so disgracefully? Letty, if you truly don’t care about it, then you should divorce Ashton quickly for the sake of your pride.”

“It is none of your business how I want to divorce or the way in which I use to divorce. John, I appreciate your concern. However, it is just appreciation. Please don’t get involved in my matters in the future. Since we used to be siblings, I am begging of you!”

With that, I turned my back. “Thanks for the tea, both of you. It’s getting late and I need to go back now!” I left the private room without waiting for their reply.

Soon after I left the room, a smashing sound of the glass from inside could be heard faintly. Nevertheless, I didn’t really stop but walked along the corridor to go down the stairs.

Macy was at the lobby of the cafe waiting for me. She stood up and trotted towards me upon seeing my appearance. She worriedly asked, “Are you okay? Did he cause any trouble?”

I shook my head while grabbing her hands tightly. “Nope. It is late now. Let’s go home!”

She looked up and glimpsed at the second floor dreadfully. John with an emotionless face had already come out from the private room as he stood along the corridor watching us quietly.

She then grabbed me tightly and nodded. “Alright. Let’s go home!”

We left the cafe while she held my hands without turning her head back.

It was past midnight by the time we reached our neighborhood. Upon taking a simple shower, we went to bed together. Recently, I had an unexplained fear which resulted in me not being able to drop off alone. Luckily, Macy was sleeping by my side. With her company, I slept through the night.

On the next day…

Q City is famous for its fine weather. It was just seven in the morning. The ray of morning sunlight streamed through the gap of the curtain into the room with a vague sight and it was beautiful.

While looking up at the ceiling blankly, my mobile phone on top of the bedside table started vibrating. Then, I extended my hand to get it and look at the incoming call shown. It was from a relatively familiar number.

Anyhow, I couldn’t recall who it was. Then, I picked up the mobile phone. “Hello!”

“Where are you?” the voice sounded a bit cold yet very familiar. I was dumbfounded at first. As I got hold of myself, it was Dr. Crest who called. Then, I spoke spontaneously. “Dr. Crest?”

So far, he had been talking to me gently. I can’t help but wondered why he is so cold today.

There was a moment of silence over the phone. Then, Dr. Crest with a toned-down voice asked, “Scarlett, are you with Macy?”

In a hindsight, I only realized that this mobile phone belonged to Macy after looking at it clearly.

I was shocked and spoke over the phone. “Yes, how are you doing lately?”

Nick told me that he was inside the intense care unit all the while. I guessed that he already came out from there. I opened my mouth when Ashton came across my mind but in the end, I didn’t mention anything about him.
