Suddenly, I remembered that he needed to rest after his vasectomy.
“Ashton, you are supposed to rest for a month!” Despite me pushing him away, it was to no avail as his hug was too tight.
“I’m fine. It’s not affected at all.”
Frowning, I couldn’t help but push him away. “Do you no longer care for it? Give Jared a call and ask him.”
When he saw how adamant I was, he had no choice but to sit up and call Jared.
When the call got through, Jared asked, “It’s the middle of the night. What’s wrong with you?”
As I was close by, I could hear him clearly.
Ashton’s expression darkened as his voice was soft. “By doing it, does it have any impact?”
Jared didn’t understand what Ashton was babbling about and snapped, “What are you doing in the middle of the night that will impact it?”
Ashton snorted, “What else can be done in the middle of the night?”
Jared wasn’t dumb as he quickly understood what it was about.
He couldn’t help but purse his lips and retort, “Can’t you endure for a month?”
I lowered my gaze and felt my cheeks burn.
Previously, I had not thought about it but only realized after the fact.
When Ashton saw me blush, he sneered into the phone, “Cut the crap! What impact does it have?”
“What else can it be? Can’t you feel it yourself?”
Ashton hesitated. “I didn’t feel a thing!”
“Ha!” Jared laughed.
Ashton had lost his patience. “Fine. I’m ending the call now.”
“Go and get yourself checked at the hospital. Don’t say that I didn’t remind you.”
“I know.”
After ending the call, Ashton chucked the phone to a side as he looked at me intently.
Looking at him, I asked, “Did Jared not come along with you on this trip?”
He nodded. “Someone needs to stay back and hold the fort.”
I nodded. After a slight hesitation, I asked, “Did Uncle Charlie and Aunt Helen used to have a daughter?”
He furrowed his eyebrows and gazed solemnly at me. “Who told you that?”
“No one. I’m just asking.” To be honest, I wasn’t trying to probe into his past. It was just that I had doubts that needed clearing up.
