Chapter 230
John puffed out smoke from his mouth and looked at the dance hall with a colil gaze.
He touched his neck which was still slightly red. His eyes became even colder, and he was even more disheartened.
After following Hugh for so long, John helped Hugh solve many things and made great contributions.
However, what did he get in return?
What John received was Hugh’s abuse and dissatisfaction. Just now, he was even pressed to the ground by Hugh in public and almost strangled to death.
Even an ordinary person would be dissatisfied, let alone an expert like John.
“I can’t work with an idiot”
John finished his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and left quickly.
Returning to the Zabel Village, Haylan carried Ashlee out of the car.
Just as he was about to go to the villa where Perry stayed, Ashlee suddenly woke up.
She let out a scream and quickly jumped down from Haylan’s arms. She looked around in horror and asked, “Where…. Where am I? Why did you bring me here?”
Haylan looked at her and explained, “Miss Chace, calm down. This is the Zabel Village, a safe place.
“Perry lives here too. I’ll take you to him now.”
As soon as Perry’s name was mentioned, Ashlee cried out in horror. “No! I can’t do that. Without Jason’s orders, I can’t leave the dance hall. Otherwise, Perry will die.”
“I’m going back to the dance hall. I have to go back”
As if she was possessed, Ashlee rushed out of Zabel Village in a frenzy
Haylan stopped her and said in a deep voice. “You don’t have to be afraid. Jason can never control you anymore. Perry is really here.”
When Haylan left the dance hall just now, he left with Hidden Strength on Jason. As long as the time was up, Jason would definitely die.
Haylan was so ruthless to Haylaris two friends, so Haylan would naturally not spare Jason’s life.
“You’re lying. Jason won’t die. I want to go back. Please let me go back.”
Ashlee’s eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. She knelt in front of Haylan and begged in a trembling voice, “Mr. Jaber, although I don’t know who you are, I beg you. Please let me go.
“If I leave the dance hall, Jason will send someone to kill Perry.
“Mr. Jaber, please.”
After saying that, Ashlee lowered her head in front of Haylan, and Haylan failed to stop her.
“Ashlee?”
Just as Ashlee was pleading in pain, a voice suddenly rang out.
When Ashlee heard the familiar voice that she yearned for in her dreams, she felt stunned as if she had gotten an electric shock.
A moment later, she turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, trembling.
Under the street lamp. Noah pushed a wheelchair over.
Perry sat in the wheelchair and looked at Ashlee in surprise. “Ashlee, is that you?”
“Noah, hurry up and push me over.”
“Perry… Perry?”
When Ashlee saw Perry, her eyes widened, and tears streamed down her face. She muttered to herself, “Great. He’s still alive. He’s still alive. That is great.”
Ashlee was crying and laughing at the same time and seemed to have gone crazy.
Haylan squatted down and helped Ashlee up from the ground. He said, I told you, he’s still alive. Jason will never hurt you again.
“Now, you can go hug Perry
It would have been better if Haylan hadn’t said anything. As soon as he said something, Ashlee remembered something and muttered, “No, I can’t see him now. I can’t see him yet.”
With that, Ashlee stood up and rushed out like a lunatic.
“Ashlee!”
Perry panicked and said hurriedly. “Noah, be quicker. Hurry up and push me over.”
“Tm pushing you as fast as I can!”
“Be quicker!”
“Be quicker? Don’t you worry about my legs?”
“But Ashlee is leaving soon. I have to meet her. Noah, hurry up”
Before Noah could rush over with Perry, Haylan blocked in front of Ashlee. “Miss Chace, Perry truly likes you. Just meet
him.”
“I can’t. I’m in such a sorry state, and I’m covered in wounds. With such an ugly appearance, how can I see him right now?” Ashlee’s face was covered in tears, her eyes filled with fear and guilt.
All these years, she had dreamed of meeting Perry again.
The wonderful wish in Ashlee’s heart supported her to hold back day after day, and it was the only hope in her dark life brought by Jason.
Now, Ashlee finally had a chance to meet Perry.
However, although Ashlee still looked good, she was covered in injuries and was wearing skimpy clothes and heavy makeup. She felt that meeting Perry like this would be embarrassing for Perry.
“Actually, there’s no need for you to feel guilty. Perry’s current situation isn’t much better than yours. His legs were broken. and he can’t walk now. He is still undergoing treatment. It’s his honor that you don’t despise him,” Haylan said.
When Ashlee heard that, her body trembled. “You… What did you say?”
She turned around and looked at Perry seriously.
Sure enough, Perry was sitting in a wheelchair, and his legs looked unnatural.
Looking at Perry who was rushing over excitedly, Haylan sighed. “All these years, Jason has been sending people to torture Perry and doesn’t give Perry enough food every day. Perry is so hungry that his face is sallow. After his legs are broken, he is crippled.
“If I hadn’t returned in time, I’m afraid he would have lost both his legs.
“He has been missing you all the time. Just like you
“Now, it’s time for you to meet each other. I hope you won’t despise him.”
As Haylan spoke, Noah pushed Perry in front of Ashlee.
Noah had run too fast, and he could not stop the wheelchair.
If it wasn’t for Haylan stopping the wheelchair, Ashlee would have been sent flying.
“Ashlee!”
Arriving in front of Ashlee, Perry unbuckled the seatbelt of the wheelchair and pounced forward.
Perry’s legs hadn’t fully healed, and he still couldn’t walk. As soon as he stepped out of his wheelchair, he nearly fell to the ground. But he didn’t give up and continued to stagger toward Ashlee. He hugged Ashlee tightly, tears streaming down his face. “That’s great, Ashlee. It’s so great to see you.”
