When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 688

Tessa paused for a moment and cried softly to add to the dismal topic. Her crying noises were low, but it was enough to make the atmosphere gloomy.

Although I couldn’t see Ashton’s expression, he was silent all the time, so I bet he could be paying attention.

Seeing how Tessa was just sobbing and didn’t continue, he took the initiative and asked, “Operating room?”

“Yes.” Tessa sobbed softly, “I didn’t know how to tell you. Everything in the operating room was terrifying, and it’s a total nightmare. They held us captive to make use of our bodies as transporting tools. It was agonizing when we were forced to queue up outside the operating room, waiting for our turn.”

She wiped her tears before continuing, “Scarlett stood up and begged them for mercy, so she got into trouble.”

I listened for a moment before doubting her thought process. Wait… So I got into trouble to save them?

Ashton commanded frostily, “Continue!”

The woman sniffled and said, “Scarlett could leave unscathed initially since she knew the Murphys. When the bad guys found us, they had decided to send her to the Murphys in Marsingfill. However, she didn’t leave, and when she knew they were going to carry out operations on us, she went to beg Abe…”

I furrowed my brows because her version of the incident was quite different from what I knew.

However, I did nothing and continued listening to their conversation. The woman added, “Abe doesn’t like women and forced Scarlett to accompany three men. If she agrees, he will think of letting us go.”

What she said was so outrageous that I broke out in a cold sweat. When did those events even take place?

The woman continued, “I noticed Scarlett was unwilling to go with you yesterday. She might feel guilty for not being pure for you, so she left. I understand how she feels. It really isn’t her fault.”

The man didn’t say anything in reply, while the woman had more to say. “Plus, the days in Venria were nightmarish to us, while Armond’s presence gave warmth and hope to Scarlett. He even got heavily injured when he saved her. Later on, he took us to Western Europe and recuperated there. From their interactions, they seemed to get along with each other and looked good together.”

She added while nodding, “If I didn’t run into you guys yesterday, I would have thought Scarlett and Armond are a couple and they will be happy forever.”

I was at a loss for words and felt amused.
