When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 508

Ashton pulled me into his arms and revealed in a husky voice. “For the past four years, I’ve always jolted awake at night alone. Once, I dreamt that you stopped breathing right by my side. After waking up in shock, I drove to J City and circled the city for the night before returning to K City the next day.”

I stiffened in shock. Looking at his features, I felt my heart twisting in pain.

A smile flitted across his lips. “When I ran into you in R Province, I was prepared to spend my entire life there. Remember the first night I spent at your house? I woke up at midnight and sneaked into your bedroom. To confirm you’re still alive, I checked for your breath before leaving.”

Putting the book down, I glanced at Ashton who was buried in work. I went to him and leaned on his broad shoulders.

Sensing his delight, I stated, “Ashton, I’d like to visit Hannah at the hospital.”

He came to a stop and offered, “Let’s do that tomorrow.”

He was clearly worried about my safety.

However, I refused to stay here and do nothing. “I insist on going today!” With that, I rose to my feet stubbornly.

He flashed a warm smile. “It’s cold outside—”
