When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1653

“If you don’t try, you’ll never know,” I said as I walked behind her and subtly pushed her forward, encouraging her to wheel the wheelchair into the room.

Marcus had already heard all the commotion outside, and when we entered, he was staring at us disgruntledly. Still, I could tell that he wasn’t lashing out because Camelia was there as well.

I winked slyly at Camelia. See? I told you he wouldn’t say no.

Of course, Camelia was overjoyed. She hadn’t been anywhere near Marcus for a long time and even seemed to be nervously blushing as we got closer.

Just as I had thought, Camelia was still the girl who would risk anything for true love. She was always somehow both passionate and reserved in front of the person she loved, just like how I had remembered her to be.

Seeing as she was completely stunned by her nerves, I had to approach Marcus and help him get up.

“What do you want?” Marcus protested weakly.

“We’re going out for some fresh air!”

“I’m not going.”

I acted as if I couldn’t hear his protests and turned around, asking Camelia for help. “Camelia, help me out here. I can’t support both of his arms at once.”

Camelia stood still for a minute as she absorbed my words before nodding and walking forward.

She had barely touched Marcus when he shoved her away. “Don’t touch me!”

Camelia stood there in shock at the words he had just said. Frozen, she looked as if someone had just drenched her in cold water.

A gust of anger suddenly welled up inside me, and I pushed Marcus firmly. He was still recovering, so he couldn’t help but stumble backward onto the hospital bed. If he hadn’t been supporting himself with both arms, he would already have fallen over. Then, he glared at me as he slowly sat back up.

“Don’t look at me like that,” I said angrily. “None of us here owe you anything, especially Camelia! You left her alone and mistreated her. How dare you shout at her like that after everything you’ve done?”

“Scarlett, please don’t. I’m fine.”
