Chapter 187 We Will Save Alyssa
Thinking about her current appearance, wearing only a patient’s gown, Deborah might be displeased when she sees it.
Ashton hurriedly went back, changed his clothes, put on his coat, and changed his shoes before rushing out of the
sickroom.
As I walked outside, my vision started to darken a bit.
He leaned against the wall for a moment, feeling better, and then continued to walk outside.
The door opened, and both Rebecca and Hector were waiting outside.
Upon seeing Ashton suddenly emerge from the bed, everyone was taken aback
Hector immediately stepped forward, “Ashton, if you need anything, just ring the bell. Why did you get out of bed yourself? You’re not supposed to=”
Before the speaker could finish, Ashton interrupted, “I have something to take care of, I’ll be back later.”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t care about the reactions of the people outside and walked straight towards the
end of the corridor.
Rebecca hurriedly caught up and stopped him.
“The doctor said you shouldn’t even be getting out of bed right now. Where do you think you’re going?”
Ashton’s path was blocked, and the anxious expression on his face couldn’t be hidden.
His icy, impatient gaze fell on Rebecca. “Move aside, and don’t make me say it again.”
Rebecca stood in front of him, as still and unmoving as a wall.
“No way, you can’t leave the hospital now. What, do you still want to go find Deborah and her daughter? They
definitely don’t want to see you… Ah!”
Before she could finish speaking, Ashton reached out, grabbed her arm, and flung her to the side.
Caught off guard, Rebecca stumbled backward several steps, her back colliding with the nearby wall.
She was furious and yelled, “Ashton, are you even a man?”
No one responded to her, as Ashton had already walked far away.
Hector, leaning on his cane, chased after him furiously, “Stop, you scoundrel!”
Many people gathered around to watch, causing chaos in the corridor.
Ashton walked quickly, somewhat unsteadily, and hurried straight into the elevator to leave.
By the time Rebecca and Hector rushed downstairs, there was no trace of him to be found.
Ashton drove straight to the place Deborah had told him about.
He had just left the emergency room and hadn’t eaten anything, feeling a bit weak.
As he drove out of the underground parking garage and onto the street, the evening streetlights and neon signs shone into his eyes, making him feel slightly dizzy.
Richmond was covered in snow, and the streets had already been cleared. On both sides of the streets, thick layers of snow were piled up.
Chapter 18 Will Save Alyssa
His driving was a bit unsteady, and it seemed like someone was honking behind him.
He didn’t pay attention and continued driving forward when suddenly, he remembered that day from over three years
ago.
It seems to be an evening like this, with such a dimly lit night, just like in a heavy snowfall.
Deborah knelt outside the garden, pleading, “Ashton, please save our daughter.”
Ashton’s consciousness began to feel somewhat hazy, as if he had truly returned to that day, that very moment.
He drove the car and agreed, “Alright, let’s save Alyssa.”
Debby, let’s go save Alyssa.
Our family of three has such a long time ahead of us, with so many years to come.
Year after year, time goes by….
Oh, he remembered it wrong.
There’s no more time left for him; he’s been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and he’s going to die.
And as for his Debby and Alyssa, they had given up on him completely, never wanting him again.
Ashton drove the car, beads of nervous sweat forming on his forehead.
Indeed, Deborah gave up on him a long time ago.
So why does she still want to see him, and what does she want to talk to him about?
My legs felt weak, and my entire body was going limp.
Ashton had no idea how long he had been driving, nor when he had finally arrived at his destination.
The car came to a stop in the plaza outside Southern Opulence Mall. He immediately got out and walked towards the
main entrance.
I wonder if Deborah has arrived yet; she definitely doesn’t like waiting for him too long.
Perhaps later he should explain that due to the snowy weather, the roads were slippery, causing some traffic congestion, and it was impossible to drive too fast.
He should have come over a bit sooner, making her wait for so long.
He was on tenterhooks, his heart in his throat.
Finally, at the main entrance, there weren’t many people going in and out of the shopping mall on this snowy evening.
Ashton looked around carefully, but he couldn’t see any sign of Deborah.
Has he not arrived yet, or did he leave because he waited too long?
He waited at the door for a while longer, but still didn’t see Deborah coming. Finally, he took out his phone from his pocket, intending to ask her about it.
There’s nothing in the pocket.
He suddenly remembered that he had left the hospital room in such a hurry, and all his clothes had been changed.
