Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Are You Dumb? 

Ashton’s action of locking the door paused for a moment. In the end, Ashton did not reply to her. Ashton just locked the door and left. 

Alyssa had been thrown into the basement. Her nose bled. 

Ashton returned to the study and turned on the computer to check the surveillance video in the basement. 

Alyssa’s nosebleed had not stopped, and she was in a semi-conscious state. 

Deborah held Alyssa in her arms in panic, lifted her clothes, and tried to help Alyssa stop the blood from flowing out of her nose. 

But the blood could not stop. Deborah blocked the clothes under Alyssa’s nose. The blood slowly seeped into the clothes, dyeing the 

clothes red. 

Alyssa let out a weak and painful voice, “Mom, it hurts.” 

Deborah cried. She carried Alyssa to the door and slammed the door. “Open the door! Open the door! Help!” 

Ashton stared at the screen and felt that it was a little strange. 

Ashton did not know much about leukemia. Because Alyssa had this Illness for so long. Ashton had heard some from the doctor 

about it. 

Ashton thought, it is said that leukemia can easily cause bleeding. However, normal people would have nosebleeds. It is not a big 

deal. 

Ashton did not understand why Deborah was so anxious. Moreover, looking at the monitor, Alyssa’s nosebleed seemed to have not stopped, and it was still flowing out continuously. 

However, Ashton just felt a little strange. Ashton did not intend to get up to help. He still sat in front of the desk indifferently and watched the monitor screen as if he was watching a show. 

Ashton thought that he had to teach Deborah a lesson this time. He wanted to lock Deborah and Alyssa up for ten days, even half a 

month. 

Ashton thought, it must be because I am so kind that Deborah dared to be so unscrupulous and even dared to sleep with another 

man. 

Ashton was thinking about it in his mind. When he looked at the surveillance screen again, he froze, 

Deborah bit her wrist. When Deborah looked up again, blood quickly fell from her wrist. Deborah’s lips, teeth, and face were stained 

with blood. 

There were no knives or dangerous items in the room. Ashton could not imagine that Deborah dared to hurt herself like this. 

Ashton stood up and saw Deborah holding Alyssa tightly and falling unconscious. 

Ashton’s expression changed. When he hurried downstairs, Ashton shouted, “Dr. Wilson, come with me!” 

When Ashton rushed to the basement and opened the door, Deborah, who was lying on the ground, heard the sound and insisted on 

getting up. 

Deborah saw the red dot on the ceiling of the room and knew that there was a surveillance camera. Seeing that no one opened the door, Deborah bet that Ashton was watching the surveillance screen. Deborah bet that Ashton was afraid that she would kill herself. 

Only then did Ashton know that he had been tricked by Deborah. Ashton turned around and wanted to go out with a cold face. 

Deborah anxiously crawled over and grabbed Ashton’s trousers. “Save Alyssa. Save her.” 

Ashton wanted to kick Deborah away. However, when Ashton looked down, he saw that Deborah’s wrist was still bleeding. 

Ashton couldn’t tell why. Andrew had clearly said that Deborah was in good health, but Ashton felt that Deborah was in a particularly bad state recently. 

Sometimes, when Ashton looked at Deborah, he even felt like she was 

looking at a dying person. 

This feeling made Ashton unhappy. When Ashton saw the blood on Deborah’s wrist, he c 

her.” 

coldly ordered Andrew, “Stop the bleeding for 

Deborah gritted her teeth and hid her hands behind her back. “Save Alyssa first. If something happens to Alyssa, I won’t live either.” 

Ashton looked at Deborah in disgust. ‘Deborah, do you think you are qualified to threaten me?” 

Ashton squatted down and suddenly pulled Alyssa out of Deborah’s arms and threw her aside. Then Ashton pressed Deborah to the ground. “Come over and bandage her wound.” 

Andrew immediately went over and looked at the small wound on Deborah’s wrist. A trace of disappointment flashed in Andrew’s eyes. Andrew helped Deborah bandage It. 

After bandaging it, Andrew said, “Sir, Ms. Shepherd is fine. The wound is very shallow. It has been treated.” 

Ashton still pressed the struggling Deborah to the ground and said coldly, ‘Get out.” 

Andrew packed up his medical kit, looked at Alyssa, who was lying on the ground, and turned to leave, 

Andrew thought, if Alyssa dies, Deborah will die. 

Deborah was pressed to the ground by Ashton. Deborah could see Alyssa lying on the side. Alyssa’s nose was still bleeding. 

If this went on, Alyssa would die from excessive blood loss. Deborah tried her best to protect her dignity and bottom line, but she was once again defeated. 

Deborah begged, “Please save her. Leukemia causes a hematopoietic function disorder. You have to ask a doctor to stop the bleeding. If this continues, Alyssa will die.” 

Ashton sneered. He thought, so it is a hematopoietic function disorder. No wonder Deborah is so nervous. 

Ashton leaned over and approached Deborah. “What? Are you still going to divorce?” 

Deborah’s face was pale as she shook her head. “No, I won’t say anymore. I was wrong It was all my fault. Please save Alyssa.” 

Ashton was not in a hurry. He continued slowly, “Last night, you sent yourself to Joseph? You also seduced Zayne, didn’t you?” 

Deborah was stunned. She said, “I … I don’t know.” 

Deborah did not know what the answer Ashton wanted was. 

Ashton looked impatient. ‘You still don’t admit it. Deborah, you can argue as long as your daughter can afford to wait.” 

Deborah snapped back to reality and nodded continuously. “Yes, it was me. I seduced Mr. Black last night, and I seduced Dr. Gaige. I 

am shameless. I am dirty.” 

Ashton grabbed Deborah’s neck fiercely. “Deborah, how dare you say that!” 

Deborah was nervous. She did not understand. Deborah thought, did I answer wrongly? 

Ashton stared at Deborah and asked, “Five years ago, that night…” 

“It was me. I schemed against you. I got you drunk, slept with you, and forced you to marry me after I got pregnant.” Deborah interrupted Ashton and replied impatiently. 

Deborah did not know how long Ashton wanted to tease her. Deborah only knew that Alyssa could not wait any longer. 

Ashton finally got a satisfactory answer. “So you admit that you want to marry me even in your dreams, right? You seduced Joseph and Zayne for money, but me for love, right?”
