In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 177

He was taken aback. “What are you and Ashton doing in K City?”

I didn’t explain much to him. Besides, he was not seriously injured. Staying in the hospital was just a ploy to get my sympathy. I looked at him and said plainly, “Some business to deal with!”

As I turned around to leave, he raised his voice, with a bit of coldness, “You’d better leave Ashton soon.”

I frowned, not wanting to engage in further conversation with him.

When I returned to Macy’s ward, she had finished eating the pasta. She had been medicated and was up by herself, peeling the green mangoes I had brought for her.

Seeing me back in her ward, she acted really silly. “Babe, where did you get these green mangoes? They taste exactly like those from the tree in the garden back in R Province.

I sat down beside her and watched her eat quite a few at one go. I couldn’t help but feel worried. “You’re eating too many. Are you okay?”

She shook her head. “I can finish all that you brought!”

I was speechless. John had brought quite a lot and I almost took all the green mangoes here.

The main reason was that she ate a portion of pasta and then so many green mangoes. Will this affect the baby she is carrying?

“Darn it, you’re eating like a horse!” Jackson walked in and exclaimed when he saw the way Macy was eating.

Seeing Nick coming together with him, I felt surprised. “Mr. Harrison, are you with Jackson most of the time?”

Macy was a busybody. With her hands full of green mangoes and looking at the two men, she put on an evil smile. “Are you two doing it?”

“Doing what?” Jackson looked at her and asked, “You’d better stop eating or else you’ll die of overeating. Eat less but more frequently. Be careful of your eating habits, Macy.”

She sneered and ignored him but turned her attention on Nick. “Mr. Harrison, are you here to visit me?”

Nick looked at me and smiled gently. “Yeah!” It was obviously perfunctory.

Macy curled her lips and kept quiet.

Nick looked at me and asked, “Are you going to K City?”

I glanced at Jackson. This guy told him everything. Nodding my head, I replied, “I’ll be there for a few days and will be back soon.”

He nodded, “That’s good. I have to go over to run an errand. What time are you leaving?”

“My flight is at six in the evening.”

“F****!” Jackson cursed, “Why didn’t you mention it earlier?”

I was stunned. “What business do you have there?”

“I could go with you!” When Macy gave him a contemptuous look, he rubbed his nose. “If I had known that you were going to K City, I would have returned to M Country to work.”

“Too many things happened in the past few days so I forgot all about it.” Then, I looked at Nick and asked, “When are you going to K City?”
