Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 Sneaking a Peek at Him 

Rebecca’s face turned livid with anger, as she had never encountered someone as ungrateful and clueless as Ashton. 

These days, she has been trying her best, searching for hospitals and doctors everywhere, in an effort to find a suitable bone marrow match. 

Since I couldn’t find it, I had no choice but to ask Deborah and Alyssa for help. 

Could it be that the purpose was not to save Ashton’s life, but to save Rebecca’s life instead? 

She could no longer bear it and said, “Fine, fine! You all are so noble, and I’m just meddling in your affairs. I must be crazy, right?” 

She screamed like a shrew, but Ashton still looked indifferent, “Is there something wrong with your brain?” 

Rebecca’s fingers dug tightly into her palm, unable to distinguish whether she was feeling anger or embarrassment. 

“You think I care about meddling in your business? If it weren’t for that time overseas back then 

Ashton sneered, “How many times are you going to bring up that old, trivial matter from years ago? I’ve told you before, even if I had encountered a kitten or a puppy back then, I would have helped them just the same.” 

Rebecca couldn’t help but be moved, “I remember when your parents were still around, those years you spent abroad were also quite good…” 

Ashton couldn’t recall that when he was studying abroad, Rebecca was in the same department as him. 

But Rebecca always remembered. 

Ashton’s patience had run out, interrupting her, he said, “Leave, I don’t want to see you again. You’re annoying.” 

In the end, Rebecca didn’t continue speaking. She turned around and left the hospital room. 

The door to the hospital room closed, leaving Ashton all alone. 

Hector stood guard outside while Ashton didn’t allow him to come in and watch over. 

Ever since Deborah’s accident three years ago, the relationship between Ashton and Hector has been distant for these 

past three years. 

There has been no improvement, and there isn’t much room for improvement either. 

Ashton lay in bed, and everything around him quieted down. 

He looked around the spacious ward, his indifferent expression fading away. 

Over the past three years, he would often have this kind of feeling 

The house feels quite spacious, and because of its size, it appears empty. 

No matter where I live, whether at home or outside, the feeling is always the same. 

Lately, I’ve been feeling really cold no matter where I am. 

Rodger is right, it’s a terminal illness. 

I probably won’t live much longer. 

Ashton reached out and grabbed his phone. 

After holding back for so many days, I couldn’t resist any longer and sent a message to Deborah. 

It wrote: [Don’t worry, I won’t let Alyssa donate bone marrow.) 

Deborah is in a taxi with Alyssa, heading to the newly rented house. 

Rebecca taking Alyssa away made Deborah unable to feel at ease anymore to continue living with Alyssa at Moxley 

Manor. 

Alyssa was very understanding and agreed to move out and live with Deborah for the time being. 

On Christmas day, we’ll go to the Moxley family’s house for a meal. 

Deborah found the house on a mobile app and then contacted the owner by phone to make arrangements. 

Everything was fully furnished and ready for move-in, Deborah only brought a single suitcase with her 

As the car neared its destination, she received a message from Ashton. 

She took a glance at it but didn’t respond. 

Ashton’s personal number, she had already blocked it long ago, this one is his work number. 

She couldn’t be bothered to block them anymore and just left it alone. 

After taking a glance, she put her phone back into her bag 

Alyssa was feeling particularly down. 

Because she saw those bloodstains in the hospital, coupled with Rebecca’s pressure and questioning, she felt 

somewhat disturbed. 

All the way, she didn’t say a single word. 

Halfway through the drive, there was another bout of vomiting 

Joseph originally wanted to come along and take care of things, but Deborah knew that Alyssa was more resistant to 

him, so she didn’t agree. 

Taxis can only go as far as the outside of the residential area. 

Deborah got out of the car, grabbed her suitcase, and led Alyssa inside. 

The housing agent was already waiting at the entrance of the residential area, warmly leading them inside the house. 

The location here is great, which makes the housing prices high. 

Deborah found a house she really liked, with the interior decoration and furniture being both new and high-end. 

Upon entering, Deborah’s first impression was that it didn’t look like a place for rent. 

The housing agent praised extravagantly, “The landlord is wealthy, and the house was originally vacant with no intention to rent it out. They don’t really need the rental income. 

But I have some family ties with him, so after much persuasion, he finally agreed to rent it out. This is the only property like this I have on hand, and the rent is quite affordable. 

Everything inside is new and good, so you and your daughter will live comfortably, isn’t it?” 

Alyssa wasn’t feeling well, and Deborah didn’t want to say much either, so she just took out her card directly. 

“No problem with the house. Should I sign the contract with you or directly with the landlord?” 

The housing agent smiled as they presented the landlord’s authorization letter, “You can just sign with me, as Mr. Denard, the landlord, is currently abroad. As for the rent, we’ve already agreed on the amount previously. 

The house is available for rent for a minimum of six months, and requires a one-time payment of six months’ rent, plus an additional six months’ rent as a security deposit.” 

Upon hearing it, Deborah felt like the name “Mr. Denard” sounded somewhat familiar. 

But it was just a surname, so she didn’t think much about it. 

After reviewing the documents provided by the housing agent and making sure there were no issues, she signed the papers, paid the money, and rented the house. 

To be honest, some of the decorations in this house seem to be worth more than a year’s rent. 

After the housing agent signed the contract with her and received the payment, they left. 

The house was thoroughly cleaned everywhere, so there was no need for additional cleaning.. 

After casually tidying up her suitcase, Deborah sat down to accompany Alyssa, comforting her emotions. 

The sky outside had turned dark, and Alyssa, sitting close to her, suddenly asked, “Mommy, is Dad going to die soon?” 

Deborah hugged her and honestly replied, “I don’t know either.” 

Alyssa stopped talking and leaned against her chest. 

Deborah looked down at her and said, “Alyssa, you can make your own choices. If you want to take the risk and donate 

bone marrow to him, then Mommy will respect your decision.” 

Alyssa lowered her head, without looking up, “I won’t donate.” 

She snuggled close to Deborah, and the two of them leaned against the couch. Soon, Deborah could hear the gentle sound of breathing in her arms. 

Alyssa fell asleep. 

Deborah ordered takeout and checked the estimated delivery time, which was in forty minutes. 

Joseph had sent her a message earlier, saying that he would deliver her work computer and design tools.
