080 A Man In Love
Scarlett’s POV
I can’t.
Even if I had to give the ambulance to Ava, I wouldn’t go with her.
I can’t let them know about the baby, not after this. Not when he would choose Ava’s life over mine. Not when I’m still under the paw of Jack Fuller. God knows what horrible plan he would have for my baby who would be highly likely to share my rare blood type.
–
They can never know the baby’s existence.
“I have called the ambulance already, Jack,” Sebastian turns to Jack Fuller, “And Ava’s wound has stopped bleeding. She is not in danger.”
“So?! Ava’s injured! She has to go to the hospital anyway!” Jack Fuller grunts in frustration, “Am I asking too much from her now, just to fucking share an ambulance?! It’s the least to do for anyone who has any decency!”
Somehow I come off as the bad guys. Always. In their eyes.
“I think the basic decency is to at least say ‘please‘ when you are asking for a favor,” I stand up coldly, looking Jack Fuller right in the eyes, “instead of acting as if the whole world owes you
Mr. Fuller.”
“What did you just fucking call me?!” He turns to me with a shocked face.
Seriously? After our bad fallout, my addressing is the most shocking to him? I guess the truth that he raised me as a slave was too normal for him to notice how bad it
was.
“Jack!” Sebastian turns around, standing in front of me against Jack Fuller, his voice steady but dominant, “Please, go attend to Ava. I need to talk to my wife, ALONE.”
Still dreaming of having Sebastian as his legit son–in–law, Jack Fuller doesn’t argue, but just leaves with an urging: “Do it fast.”
Sebastian turns to me, and Adrian folds his arms between us, apparently not planning on leaving.
“Adrian, can I have a moment with Scarlett?” Sebastian says to Adrian, apparently trying his best to hold his temper.

“And let you take her blood for free, as if she owes you?” Adrian snorts, his tone icy cold. That’s why I never expected him to be “best friends” with Sebastian. It just doesn’t look like so.
“Scar, please,” Sebastian looks at me, ignoring Adrian. Sometimes I feel like he does feel guilty about using me as Ava’s blood vessel, in front of other people at least. Just not in front of me. I have no energy to deal with him, and I certainly have no interest in saving Ava this time, even if she wasn’t cured.
