When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 891

I had no idea how long Ashton had been in the chamber. His entire body was stiff, while his forehead was icy cold to the touch. The man had lost consciousness.

“Ashton, I’m here! Wake up! Please wake up.” I removed my coat before wrapping it around his body. Then, I cuddled up with him, trying to warm his body.

The man didn’t give any response. Not wasting any time, I helped him up and carried him on my back before we moved toward the exit.

Meanwhile, I inform Boris, “Boris, I found Ashton in the refrigerating chamber, but he is unconscious. Come fast!”

Bang! Just then, the door of the refrigerating chamber was being slammed shut. The next moment, I noticed the temperature in the chamber dropped drastically.

At that instant, we were surrounded by biting cold air that blew directly onto us.

While carrying Ashton, I tried in vain to get into contact with Boris. It turned out that the signal of the earbud was cut off.

Ashton’s body temperature was becoming lower by the minute while his body grew unpliable. Hugging him tighter in my arms, I called out, “Ashton, I’m Scarlett! I’m here! Don’t sleep, or I will get mad. Wake up, Ashton! Wake up!”

Being eaten up by fear, there was little rationality left in me. All I could do was to keep talking to Ashton though he could give me no response. Soon, I was overwhelmed by panic as the chillness penetrated my body.

I snuggled close to Ashton. The damp areas in the chamber and even the water vapor started to freeze.

I could feel my body grew stiff, let alone Ashton’s. I kept rubbing his hands, trying to warm them. As I continued talking to him, my tears started rolling down my cheeks and froze in no time, which caused numbness and a tingling sensation.

There was nothing but silence outside the chamber. I was on the verge of a breakdown as Ashton started to lose vital signs. Feeling helpless, I clung to the Ashton, shivering and crying.

Since I had been through the trauma of being locked inside a freezer, I started suffering an acute stress reaction. Being overwhelmed by fear of the cold, my body convulsed. Just then, I vaguely heard Ashton’s voice saying, “Let her go. I’ll sign it.”

It was the first time he ever spoke since I entered the chamber. I opened my eyes and tried to turn to look at him, yet it was hard to move my body.
