A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 196

The only possibility was...

"Do you suspect that William Xiao took Ashe away?" I told Justin about my analysis. After he heard it, his eyes slightly sank.

"Now, he is the only one who hates me and Edward. I suspect that it was William who took Ashe away."

I looked at Justin and said blandly.

"William has escaped, and my assistants can't find where he is. Don't worry, I'll help you find Ashe."

Justin took a deep look at me and left.

After he left, I sat alone on the sofa, holding the pillow in a daze.

William had escaped from everyone's sight. Where on earth was he hiding? William was a very scheming person. He must have taken Ashe away to deal with me and Edward.

"Ashley." I was thinking about Ashe and couldn't fall asleep. When I was in a daze in the middle of the night, I heard that someone was calling me.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Edward who had just come back.

"Edward." Seeing his handsome and familiar face, I couldn't control my emotions anymore and burst into tears.

"Don't cry." Edward wiped my tears with his rough fingers and said in a deep voice. I sniffed and buried my cheeks in his chest. Then I said, "I can't find Ashe. I'm so scared."

"I will find our son. Stop crying."

Edward kissed my eyelids and said in a cold voice.

"I'm afraid that something bad will happen to him." I looked at Edward and said with tears in my eyes.

Ever since I knew that Ashe was lost, I had been crying, and my eyes were painful and very uncomfortable.

Edward sighed, and he said to me grimly, "Ashley, listen carefully. Ashe is my son. Nothing will happen to him. If you keep crying, I'll teach you a lesson."

"Really?" I looked at Edward sadly and asked.

"I promise."

Edward held my body tightly and said again.

"I believe you, Edward."

Edward said that Ashe would be fine, and Ashe would definitely be fine.

Ashe, don't be afraid. Mom and dad would save you soon.

The next day, Justin told me that he didn't find any clues, so I was a little desperate.

Both Justin and Edward's assistants were looking for Ashe. However, they couldn't find him in the whole city.

The third day, the fourth day...

Scott cried every day. Not only should I comfort her, but also should I comfort myself. Until a week later, I heard that a child's dead body was retrieved on the northern beach of the city. Because his face was unrecognizable, the police asked me to identify if it was the child we lost.

"No... It's definitely not my Ashe!"

Lying in Edward's arms, I shouted at the policeman who informed me.

The policeman seemed to be scared by my heart-wrenching roar. He said to Edward in a dilemma, "G.M.Xi, I just came here to tell you this news. I hope you can cooperate with us. Because the child is quite similar to what you described."

I see.

Edward took a deep look at the policeman. After the policeman left, he turned to look at me.

"Ashley, let's go and have a look."

"Edward." I shook my head in horror.

I didn't want to see it. That child was definitely not my Ashe.

"At least we have to confirm it, right?"

Edward touched my eyes and said softly.

I looked at Edward with red eyes and could only nod in sorrow.

Edward was right. Whether the child was Ashe or not, we needed to confirm it.

Edward asked the driver to send us to the northern beach.

When we got there, there were a lot of people on the beach. After seeing me and Edward coming over, they left and looked at us with sad eyes.

The police officer who was in charge of this case came over and introduced the child to us, "This child is about one year old. He is a boy, but he may have been immersed in the sea for too long. His face is unrecognizable. We can only ask you to come and make sure if he is the child you lost."

My fingers shook, and my whole body couldn't help but tremble violently.

Noticing the change in my mood, Edward lowered his head and kissed my earlobe, "Ashley, calm down."

Edward's kiss made me calm down. I walked towards the dead body with him.

Before seeing it, the police officer asked us to be prepared. When I really saw the body, I was scared.

"He died a terrible death. Do you have any impression of his clothes?" The forensic expert covered the dead body with a piece of white cloth and asked Edward.

"No, it's not Ashe." I leaned against Edward's arms and shook my head at the forensic expert who was talking.

"Are you sure?" The forensic expert didn't expected that I would shake my head so firmly, and he asked in surprise.

"Do you want to scare me to death? Ashley, if something happens to you, I will really go crazy." Edward hugged my body tightly and breathed rapidly.

I could feel his rapid heartbeat. I blankly raised my head and looked at his chin with stubble. I didn't know what had happened. I tried to get up, but I was so weak all over.

"Ashley, I'll definitely give you a lesson." Edward buried his face on my neck and roared hoarsely.

"Edward... Let me go first. It's a little uncomfortable." I twisted my waist in a sweat, and my clothes were all wet.

"How's Ashley now?" As soon as Edward let go of me, Scott's anxious voice came from the door.

I looked at Scott who was rushing toward me. Just as I was about to reach out to comfort her, Leonard came over, hugged Scott and said, "Well, Ashley just woke up. Don't be so anxious."

"Of course I'm anxious. Ashe hasn't been found yet. What if something happens to my daughter, what should I do?" Scott said to Leonard with red eyes.

Leonard glanced at me and said with gentle eyes, "Ashley, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Dad... What's wrong with me?"

"You fell off the stairs and your wounds were stitched. You really scared me." Before Leonard could answer me, my mother couldn't wait to say to me.

Did I fell off the stairs?

I pressed on my uncomfortable temples and was about to touch my wounds, but Edward who had been silent grabbed my wrist.

"Don't move. The wound hasn't scabbed yet." Edward ordered me in a hoarse voice.

I pursed my lips and didn't dare move anymore.

"Ashley, what do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you right away." Scott looked at me and said with a pale face.

"I want to eat the chicken cooked by you." I licked my lips and said to Scott.

"Okay, I'll cook for you right away. Whatever you want to eat, I'll cook for you." Scott's eyes were filled with tears as if she was about to cry again. Looking at Scott's tearful eyes, I immediately said to Leonard, "Dad, take mom back to cook. Edward is here to take care of me."

Dad glanced at me and said helplessly, "Have a good rest. Don't be capricious. Edward and I will find Ashe. Do you understand?"

"Okay."

I knew that dad and mom were worried about me, so I could only nod and let them rest assured.

After they left, Edward put his arms around my waist and kissed my chin, "Ashley, if you're still so careless, I will really give you a lesson."

"I'm sorry." Hearing Edward's words, I thought of what happened last night.

I missed Ashe so much that I couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. I went downstairs to drink some water, but fell off the stairs.

"Do you know how I was feeling when I saw you lying on the ground with blood all over your body?" Edward lifted my chin, and his bloodshot eyes were sharp.
