Chapter 107 Lied to You
Get Bonus
Ashton sat on the couch and sneered. “Deborah, if you had come back any later, you would be preparing to collect your mother’s corpse.”
Deborah came back fairly quickly, showing that she still cared for her mother. However, she probably did not yet know that Lydia was not her biological mother.
Thinking about this, Ashton breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Deborah was still under his control.
But as Deborah crouched down beside Lydia and touched her breath, her emotions became uncontrollable.
She trembled with fear and cried out, “Mom” in a desperate sob, frantically trying to lift Lydia up.
But she couldn’t do it, as she was heavily injured and had just had a miscarriage. She was so weak that she couldn’t
even stand up.
When she tried to lift Lydia, she fell to the ground and began to breathe rapidly, struggling to catch her breath.
Ashton noticed that something was amiss and got up to investigate. He found Deborah, with a face as white as paper, looking extremely frightened.
Lydia was only unconscious, so why was Deborah reacting so strongly?
Ashton reached out to check Lydia’s breathing but realized that, for some reason, she wasn’t breathing anymore.
He then understood why Deborah had reacted that way and immediately raised his voice. “Jeff, come in here!”
Jeff, who had been standing, guard outside, rushed in when he heard the urgent call. Several servants and bodyguards also quickly followed suit when they realized that something was wrong inside.
Ashton’s confident demeanor vanished, replaced by a hint of panic.
He ordered Jeff, “She’s not breathing. Get her to the hospital right away!”
Jeff looked stunned for a moment but quickly instructed the servants and bodyguards nearby to send Lydia to the
hospital.
Deborah had just rushed in, having already exhausted all her energy. She was now anxious and in pain, unable to
summon any more strength.
She was desperate to go to the hospital with Jeff, but her body gave out, and she fell to the ground.
Ashton picked her up, thinking that she already knew the truth about what had happened back then, and said in a harsh tone, “I called you back, but you didn’t come. If you had come back, your mother wouldn’t have ended up like
this.”
Ashton carried Deborah outside, his mind in a state of confusion, wondering if Lydia could really be that fragile.
He only had this one bargaining chip in his hand, and Lydia had always been in good health.
In the past, when she gambled and borrowed money, she often got beaten up because she couldn’t repay her debts.
She had experienced days without food or water and had nowhere to stay. She had gone through so much hardship, so how could she die so easily?
Deborah glared at him with eyes full of hatred, grinding her teeth. “I won’t let you go. I won’t let you go!”
She struggled as Ashton impatiently held her down. “Enough, just keep quiet. How was I supposed to know your mother would stop breathing so quickly? We’ll get her resuscitated later. Just behave yourself from now on,

everything will be fine.”
Deborah relentlessly berated Ashton, but it seemed to have little effect on him
Despite Deborah’s efforts, she had little strength left to harm him. With all her might, she used her heads, feet, and mouth, but even in his embrace, she
any harm.
Ashton personally drove Deborah to the hospital and helped her into the passenger seat before locking the cet end heading inside
Once there, he learned that Lydia had already been taken to the emergency room
The doctors worked tirelessly to perform emergency CPR on Lydia, and after a while, they managed to get her breathing again, though just barely.
When Ashton heard the news, Ashton’s worries and anxieties dissipated instantly
He had believed it himself. Lydia was a strong and healthy person. It was unlikely that she would die so easily
Lydia didn’t emerge from the emergency room until early the next morning when she was transferred to a regulet hospital room.
Deborah hadn’t slept all night, and her eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion.
Ashton tried to convince her to get some rest, but she refused
She simply sat there motionless, refusing to sleep or speak until she knew for sure that Lydia was alright.
It wasn’t until Lydia was transferred to a regular hospital room that Deborah finally spoke up.
“Mom, are you still feeling uncomfortable?
Lydia sat on the bed, her face filled with guilt. “I’m sorry. I’m always causing you trouble.”
Deborah placed a food container and water bottle in front of her on the small table. “It’s okay. Don’t say that. Just eat and drink something ”
Over the years, Lydia had struggled with gambling and borrowing money, never seeming to be able to live a peaceful
