When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358

“Fine.” Shortly after, he offered, “Do you have trouble falling asleep? How about a drink?”

I rested my chin on my hand and stared blankly at the screen. “I just finished two episodes of a drama. My head hurts so much. John, I think my illness’ getting worse.”

John paused for a moment before saying, “I’ll go pick you up now.”

With that, he hung up.

Looking at the scene on the laptop, my heart twisted in pain for some reason. It was agonizing, and I felt suffocated. Tears wouldn’t well up in my eyes anymore, but the pain in my heart was agonizing

Everything seemed dull to me. My world was a shade of grey without brightness. Sometimes, I even felt like committing suicide to end my suffering.

And I don’t know who I am anymore.

John arrived at the villa after thirty minutes. He stopped his car downstairs and honked.

I looked down from the balcony and saw him popping his head out from the car window. “Come down. Let’s go for a ride.”

Listening to his words, I changed my clothes and went downstairs.

After getting into his car, he turned to me and asked, “Do you feel like drinking?”

Hoping that alcohol could make my pain vanish for a short while, I nodded and smiled. “Sure!”

“What are you going to do from now on?” He spoke as he drove his car fast.

Thinking to myself, I couldn’t come up with an answer, as I sighed helplessly. “I don’t know. Come to think of it, I have nothing I want.”

I had lost the yearning for love and the desire to live. My future seemed bleak now.

He shot me a look and asked, “Do you want to return to R Province?”

I froze and turned to him in confusion. “Isn’t R Province demolished?” That alley was so small, and some developers planned to build a villa there as the surroundings there caught their attention.

He nodded. “Others were demolished, but our old house wasn’t. It was still there.”

Widening my eyes, I asked, “A holdout?”

Seeing my reaction, he burst into laughter. “You can say that.”

I didn’t press the matter. Given his capabilities, it was a piece of cake for him to remain the over a hundred square meters of land as it was.

I thought for a second and said, “Let’s go there next year when spring comes. I’ll bring Summer with me too.”

He frowned, “Summer?”

I replied, “She is Macy’s daughter.”

He froze and fell silent without saying anything in return.

At the nightclub in Imperial Hotel.
