When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 767

“Hello!” I answered the phone as I cleared my throat.

“Scarlett, Nora is awake. She wants to meet you,” Armond said over the phone. His voice sounded deep and exhausted.

“Alright, I will hurry over right now!” I exclaimed with a jolt of shock as all traces of my drowsiness vanished into thin air.

After I ended the call, Ashton’s hand was still draped across my waist. As the blankets slid off my naked body, I felt a hint of shyness due to the exposure.

Quickly, I set my phone aside. “Nora is awake! I have to go visit her,” I told him urgently.

Ashton nodded sleepily. Although he had just woken up, his handsome feature gave him a very alluring look.

Just as I was about to rise to my feet, Ashton captured me in his embrace. “Stay a little longer…” he rasped lowly.

“Nora is awake! There must be a reason for Armond’s early call! I must visit her,” I said and pushed his hand away.

“Okay,” he mumbled in response and did not comment any further.

I felt a tinge of childish frustration when he closed his eyes. Without hesitating, I bent down and blew a puff of air into his ear.

Immediately, his body stiffened in surprise. “Are you teasing me?” Ashton’s gaze darkened as he gazed at me.

“I was just trying to wake you up,” I replied innocently.

Without warning, Ashton flipped my body and caged me underneath him.

The sudden movement left me stricken with shock as I stared at him with widened eyes. “Ashton, you…”

“You don’t have to rush. Instead of waiting for a woman’s help, Armond should be able to handle it himself. Let’s settle the more urgent matters first!” Ashton murmured before he kissed me affectionately.

It took an hour before we stopped.

Immediately, I scurried to the shower and changed my clothes in fear that he would continue.

When I emerged from the bathroom, the lower half of Ashton’s body was clad in a towel as he scribbled in his notebook. Hearing my footsteps, he handed over a box clutched in his hand. “Eat two of these!”

“Are these vitamins?” I asked as I took the box from his hand and peered inside before looking at the handbook. It was filled to the brim with supplements.

“Aunt Sally brought them from Archulea.” He nodded and flipped the notebook shut. “It is good for your health.”

Despite my reluctance, I did not want to waste my elder’s gift. Thus, I forced myself to consume the supplements.

“Hurry up and shower,” I urged Ashton when I noticed his languid movements. “Then you can accompany me to visit Nora!”

Along the journey to the hospital, Ashton gave me an apologetic gaze after he finished talking on the phone. “I don’t think I can visit Nora with you.”

“It’s alright. Why don’t you stop the car right ahead? I’ll hail a cab to the hospital!”
