A child who had never met Deborah before said something that made Ashton so nervous that he immediately rushed over to intervene as soon as he got off the plane.
Ashton didn’t look at her, just focusing on driving ahead. “Who knows what kids will say? Why do you care so much about this? If you’re interested in Alyssa, just go talk to her when you have time. That kid is quite sensible.”
Deborah always felt that there was something wrong here, but she couldn’t quite figure it out no matter how hard she thought about it.
She candidly asked, “Did I forget something important?”,
Why did she feel restless ever since she saw Alyssa on the plane?
After taking Steven and Alyssa to Jingron Design, Mona was overjoyed to see Alyssa. She couldn’t help but constantly shower Alyssa with compliments.
Upon hearing that, Deborah couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride welling up within her.
On second thought, there’s no reason for her to be so proud when others praise Alyssa.
No matter how outstanding Alyssa is, it still has nothing to do with her.
Later on, she saw Steven and Alyssa off as they left the company, watching as Alyssa got into the car.
She suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and almost couldn’t help herself, wanting to get in the car with them.
Thinking about all that, Deborah’s head began to ache again, with sharp, stabbing pains coming in waves.
She couldn’t help it. She scratched the back of her other hand with her fingernails, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably, no matter how hard she tried to stop it.
She felt very uncomfortable and really wanted to see Joseph.
But now is not the time, as Joseph is probably still in a meeting.
After much difficulty, he finally returned to the Black Group. It was his first day back at work, so it was best not to make any mistakes.
Deborah held back, but the pressure on her fingertips grew stronger and stronger.
The sharp, piercing pain on the back of her hand had somewhat numbed her, to the point where she could barely feel
Ashton looked at her, who was just chattering non-stop with questions, but now she suddenly fell silent.
He felt a bit strange and glanced sideways, only to see that Deborah’s hand had been scratched and was bleeding.
He immediately reached out, grabbing one of her hands, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
It seemed as if Deborah suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly withdrawing her hand as if she had been electrocuted when he grabbed it.
“Who allowed you to touch me? I can handle myself, it’s none of your business!”
Her face was pale, cold sweat beading on her forehead. She looked at Ashton with a guarded expression, as if she had raised her defenses, treating him like a thief.
Ashton awkwardly withdrew his hand, “I just noticed that your hand was bleeding. If you’re really uncomfortable, give Joseph a call and ask him to come over.”

Deborah immediately objected, “No, he’s in a meeting.”

Ashton said in a deep voice, “You’re like this now, we can always have the meeting another day…”
Deborah firmly interrupted him, “No. Just stop the car and let me out. I can take a tad to the hospital. I don’t need you
to take me there.”
Ashton, feeling helpless, said, “Fine, no fighting. I’ll take you to the hospital first.”
Deborah didn’t say another word, her head hanging low, concealing the discomfort on her face.
Ashton continued driving and spoke up again, “If you’re really concerned about your previous memories, you can discuss it with Joseph and see a psychologist to help you try to recover them.”
Anyway, Alyssa is still alive now, and Deborah has regained her memory, so there aren’t many things that are hard to accept.
The only thing that’s hard to accept is Lydia ending her own lite.
In other words, recalling those past memories made her resent Ashton even more.
But it’s not a solution for her to remain like this, as every time she comes into contact with people and things related to her past, she always feels pain.
Deborah didn’t pay him any more attention. After arriving at the hospital, she insisted on getting out of the car herself.
Upon entering the inpatient building, they leaned against the wall and made their way into the elevator on their own, heading upstairs.
After Ashton completed the paperwork for her, she settled into the hospital room, and soon after, her headache returned.
The doctor knows Deborah, but not Ashton.
After giving Deborah a thorough examination, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The doctor called Ashton aside and asked him, “I remember that previously, it was Mr. Black who brought Ms. Shepherd here. Who might you be?”
Ashton responded, “I’m a friend of hers. Joseph is still in Richmond, but he’ll be coming over later.”
The doctor spoke solemnly. “That’s right, Ms. Shepherd’s current situation may be due to her exposure to some familiar objects, and there are already signs of her regaining her memory.
Instead of letting the memories recover slowly and enduring the pain at any time, perhaps it would be more appropriate to directly undergo psychotherapy to restore the memories.”
Ashton nodded, “Alright, I’ll let Deborah know.”
The doctor closed the medical record in his hand and said, “Well, please consult as soon as possible so that the hospital can make arrangements promptly.”
