When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Caleb smiled and said nothing before leaving

I lay on the bed for the whole morning. After the doctor came in to brief me on things to take note of and taking my medicine, I was discharged from the hospital.

Stacey was waiting for me at the hospital entrance. She helped me into the car as I looked at her and said, “Please come up with something so that Rebecca knows I’ve had an abortion.”

She nodded, started the car and sent me back to the villa.

Ashton was not around. I sent Stacey back to the office. There was nothing much I could do since I had just been discharged from the hospital. So, I fell asleep on the bed.

However, before I drifted off, I heard the sound of an engine humming downstairs. I walked over to the balcony and saw Ashton and Jared.

Just as I thought, Ashton did not even cast me a second glance. He was just calling Jared here to check on me.

I got on the bed. Jared came in with his kit. At the sight of me, he titled his brows. He motioned for me to let him check my pulse.

“Have you brought the medicine I asked for?”

He looked at me and said, “Your cover-up plan is brilliant.”

I kept mum and he checked my pulse, taking some medicine out of his kit, and said, “These are all medicine to keep the baby healthy. If you eat these regularly and there’s no mishap, the baby should be just fine.”

Jared went downstairs afterward. I swapped out the medicine that Jared gave me with the ones I brought back from the hospital.

Then, I lay on the bed again. I had to take at least a week to fully recover from the miscarriage. There was no problem with dragging Caleb’s project for a week. However, it would feel like hell to stay at the villa for one whole week.

I thought Ashton’s fury would subside after he met up with Rebecca, and that it would take him only a while to move on from it all.
