When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1099

If Macy was still around, Summer would have lived as an ordinary girl, even though she would grow up in a single-parent family. Conversely, since the day she started living with me, she had gone through so much, including undergoing a bone marrow transplant and a kidney transplant at such a young age. She almost lost her life.

I had done so little for Summer. Even the idea of wearing this anklet was Emma’s idea. I had not even prayed for her in the last five years she was with me, and to call myself her “mother” was just irony.

Will Macy forgive me?

After a moment of silence, Ashton looked me in the eyes and stated confidently, “You’ve given her a home.”

I did not respond to that but merely stared at the anklet Summer was wearing.

We would officially return to work in two days’ time. Hence, Ashton and I decided to spend the next day resting at home.

Yet, he still woke me up early in the morning.

“What is it? Didn’t you say we aren’t going anywhere today but to rest at home?” I propped myself up and rubbed my bleary eyes.

“Something urgent came up. Do get ready to leave in half an hour.” Ashton got off the bed to get changed.

“Huh? What happened?” Yawning, I was very reluctant to crawl out of the comfortable sheets.

The winter season was the best time for sleeping in. When we were in J City, I had to wake up super early to either accompany Charlie for meditation or go for a morning jog with Sally. As a result, I worked out a lot and have been looking forward to slumbering when we got back to K City.

I did not get any response from him, so I peeped through one eye.
