I bit my lips and said guiltily, "Edward, I'm sorry."
I always let everyone worry about me. It was my fault.
"If you do this kind of dangerous thing again, I'll definitely teach you a lesson." Edward's face darkened as he threatened me.
"I know, I won't do it again."
I rubbed my head against his chest and said.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Hearing what I said, Edward's was no more angry.
He reached out his hand, touched my forehead gently and asked me softly.
"Well, a little bit. I feel a little dizzy."
I said coquettishly to him.
"Take a nap. I'll stay here and accompany you. I won't go anywhere."
"Okay."
Edward's voice was very gentle. I closed my eyes and gradually fell asleep.
I slept for a long time. It was half past three in the afternoon when I woke up.
Edward was not in the ward, and I only saw my mom who was sleeping by my bed and holding my hand.
I twisted my body, and she was awakened by me. She opened her tired eyes and saw that I was awake. She said nervously, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, mom, I'm fine. Don't be so worried." Looking at her nervous face, I said.
"How can I not worry? We suffered a lot to reunite." My mother reached out and touched my hair lovingly.
"Ashley, if anything happens to you, I'll die."
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" I grabbed her hand and smiled bitterly.
"You're our only child. At that time, the doctor told me that there was no way for me to give birth to a baby. Two years later, I was pregnant with you. When I was pregnant, I was frightened every day, because I was afraid that I would hurt you. Later, you were born, but you were replaced. But I didn't know it. Do you know how guilty I am? When I thought of the years you spent in the Mu family, I felt sad and painful."
My mother burst into tears as she spoke.
I looked at her and didn't know how to comfort her.
In my impression, Scott had always been a very elegant woman, but at this moment, she was like an ordinary mother.
"Babe, don't cry anymore. Ashley is fine now." A helpless voice suddenly sounded.
I looked at the door and saw Leonard who was helpless.
"I know Ashley is fine now." Scott wiped her tears and said to him. "Well, Ashley must be very tired now. Don't let her be worried about you and let her have a good rest."
"Ashley, I'll cook soup for you and come to accompany you later."
Scott got up, leaned against Leonard's arms and said.
"Okay."
When I saw my loving parents, I felt very warm in my heart.
I hoped that Edward and I could still love each other when we got old, just like my parents.
Ashe hadn't been found yet.
In order not to let Edward and my parents worry about me, I could only pretend to smile.
Edward handled all the business in the company for me because of my poor physical condition.
Edward was busy every day. Because he had to manage two companies.
He worked late at night and came back to accompany me, which made me so sad.
Ashe was also his child. He must worry about him, too.
In order not to saddle him, I could only try my best to recover.
A week later, Ashe was still not found, and my mood gradually became ill-tempered.
I couldn't calm down because Ashe was not found. On the day I was discharged from the hospital, my parents wanted to pick me up, but I refused. They were also very tired these days, so I didn't want them to worry about me.
When I finished all the procedures and was about to leave the hospital with my clothes, I received a mysterious call.
"Wuwu... Mummy..."
"Ashe." I heard Ashe's voice from the phone.
Ashe's crying?
I grabbed my phone nervously and called out his name.
"Ashley, long time no see."
Later, Ashe's crying could no longer be heard, and it was replaced by William's extremely gloomy and terrible voice.
After hearing William's voice, my body tensed and I said in a cold voice, "William, it was you who took Ashe away."
"Yes, it's me. Do you and Edward think that I will let it go like this?"
"What do you want?" I knew that William was the one who had taken Ashe away.
William was indeed very capable. He had been hiding for such a long time, but he had not been discovered by Edward and my father.
"Is Edward still working overtime in the company?" After I ate a big crab, my father suddenly asked in this way.
"Yes, he called me and said that he was too busy in the company recently. He works overtime every day and comes back late."
"Recently, he's been working very hard. I've asked someone to cook chicken soup for him. When he comes back, I'll let him drink it."
"Okay."
I nodded gently when I heard mom's thoughtful words.
After dinner, I sat in the living room and watched TV with them. After a long time, I said to my father, "Dad, if... I'm gone, could you please take care of Ashe and Edward for me?"
"Ashley, what did you say? Gone? Don't scare me!" Sure enough, after hearing my words, my mother held my hand with a pale face.
Looking at her terrified face, I comforted her, "Mom, I just said, in case I have to go on a business trip one day, I hope you can take care of Edward and Ashe for me."
"You really scared me." My mom let out a sigh of relief after hearing what I said.
I pursed my lips and comforted my mother with my eyes sank.
I would go to Hengshan mountain the next day. I didn't know what William would do to me, because he hated me and Edward so much.
There was no way for me to predict what would happen in the future. I could only plan in advance.
After watching TV for a while in the living room, I went back to my room for a rest with an excuse that I was not feeling well. But I didn't expect that my mom would follow me.
Women were sensitive. I thought that she must have seen my abnormality.
"Ashley, tell me honestly whether something happened or not." My mother walked to me, held my hand, and asked me with a worried face.
I looked at her worried look and said, "Mom, don't be so worried. I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" She was still worried and continued to ask me.
"Of course." I shook my head and said seriously.
Only then did she believe what I said. After telling me to have a good rest, she left.
After I watched her leave and close the door, I stopped smiling instantly.
I must go there alone, because I couldn't let William hurt Ashe.
William was cruel and merciless. If I took someone with me, he would definitely hurt Ashe.
In the middle of the night, Edward came back tired ly.
I woke up when he walked into the bedroom. Edward came out of the bathroom and wrapped himself in a bath towel. When he saw that I woke up, he said worriedly, "I woke you up."
"No, I just can't fall asleep." I shook my head, pulled the quilt on my body, and let Edward go to bed.
