Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Take You to See Him 

To Deborah’s surprise, as soon as she arrived, she saw tears on Alyssa’s face.

When she was in the hospital room, she saw Adrian return and asked Alyssa why she didn’t come in.

Adrian said that Alyssa was outside making a phone call. They waited for quite a while, but she still didn’t come in.

Deborah was feeling uneasy. Her emotions had improved significantly, and she was able to get out of bed on her own. So, she decided to go out and look for Alyssa herself.

She thought that Alyssa might be in a bad mood because of something related to Ashton.

But she didn’t expect that Alyssa would cry.

The last time I saw this child shed tears, I can’t even remember how many years ago it was.

Deborah stood still, staring at Alyssa on the stairs, momentarily lost in thought and unable to snap back to reality.

Alyssa was crying and feeling sad.

She hid here, in a place where no one could see her, secretly shedding tears.

In that instant, Deborah felt a sharp pain in her heart, an unpleasant sensation.

Alyssa hastily wiped away her tears, and seeing that Deborah remained silent, she knew that Deborah had already noticed.

She didn’t know what to do, feeling somewhat uneasy and at a loss. Her speech became stammering as well.

“Yes, I’m sorry, Mom. I was wrong, I shouldn’t have done that.”

Deborah’s reaction made it clear that she knew who Alyssa was crying for.

Alyssa was anxious, but the more anxious she became, the more tears fell from her eyes.

She quickly turned her head away and desperately wiped her face with her hand.

Deborah walked over, embraced her gently, and carefully wiped the moisture from her face.

“Alyssa, you’re not wrong, it’s not your fault. Many things in life aren’t about making choices with absolute right or wrong. When it comes to donating bone marrow, whatever choice you make, your mom will support you.”

Alyssa looked up at her with some uneasiness, wanting to say something, but couldn’t bring herself to speak.

It was as if she dared not speak, yet she also seemed unwilling to admit it.

Deborah could clearly see that Alyssa had already found the answer in her heart.

If it weren’t for her concerns about the past events and her rationality telling her she shouldn’t, she would have already voiced her choice.

Deborah suddenly began to feel a sense of fear, as if she hadn’t really thought about this issue before.

Alyssa was Ashton’s daughter, and they shared a strong bond through their blood connection.

The bond between a father and daughter was special, as they share half of the same blood flowing through their veins.

Some things were etched deep within our bones, and trying to completely sever them was far from easy.

She used to wonder how to make Alyssa fully accept Joseph.

She just realized that there seemed to be an even more challenging issue that she had overlooked for quite some time.

Deborah lowered her gaze to meet Alyssa’s eyes, as she looked at the child in her arms.

The child, who was almost eight years old, had grown up, become taller, and even more sensible.

As children grew older, they gradually came to understand what a father was and what family meant.

She hated Ashton, yet at the same time, she paradoxically wanted to see him and couldn’t bear to lose him. Alyssa glanced up for a moment, then lowered her head uneasily.

“Mom, I’ve made my decision. I won’t donate bone marrow to him. Don’t be sad, Mom. I don’t want to make a mistake.”

It took Deborah a while before she spoke again, “Let’s go back to the ward first. Alyssa, let Mom think about it. Mom needs to consider it carefully.”

Alyssa, like a child who had done something wrong, stopped talking and obediently followed her back to the ward.

In the hospital room, Adrian, Evelyn, and a few others were present. Joseph had stepped out to buy some late-night snacks for Deborah..

After all the turmoil, Deborah’s spirits have finally improved a bit, and she agreed that she could eat a little something.

Adrian saw Alyssa come in, pretending not to know anything.

“You little rascal, how come it took you so long just to make a phone call?”

Alyssa remained silent, walking over and sitting down by the bed.

Evelyn was growing increasingly anxious.

If Alyssa still has feelings for Ashton, and Deborah loves Alyssa so much that she wishes to cater to her every preference.

What should Deborah and Joseph do? Would there be any complications?
