What did he mean?
Before I could understand what he meant, my body had been pushed out.
Then, a white light flashed across my eyes. I was stimulated by the light and uttered a muffled hum.
"Sunny, you finally wake up! I was so worried!"
As soon as I opened my eyes, a black shadow rushed to me and hugged me.
When I heard Cornelia's crying, I frowned slightly.
"Ah." I opened my mouth. My throat was so uncomfortable that my voice was rough and hoarse.
After hearing it, Cornelia immediately let go of me, poured me a glass of water, put a straw in it, and handed it to me.
I opened my mouth and drank up all the water.
Cornelia's beautiful face looked so haggard at the moment. She looked at me sadly with tears in her eyes, "Ashley, how could this happen? You were almost burned to death."
Being burnt to death? Yes, Ashe and I were locked up in the small house by Betty. They wanted to burn us to death. Then Justin appeared.
Ashe!
I tried to get up from bed in horror, but Cornelia stopped me. "You can't move. Your back is seriously burnt and the wounds have not healed yet. If you move, it will be troublesome if the wounds are torn."
I looked at Cornelia eagerly. I wanted to see Ashe. How was my Ashe?
"You want to find Ashe, right?" Cornelia seemed to know what I was thinking. She looked at me and asked seriously.
I looked at her and nodded heavily.
"He's okay and he has been taken back by the Xis. But you almost died. Justin was so angry with those doctors..."
"Cornelia, go out." Before Cornelia finished speaking, Justin came in. He looked at me coldly, interrupted Cornelia's words, and let Cornelia go out.
Cornelia looked at me worriedly and then left my ward.
After she left, the ward became unusually quiet.
Justin walked to me and looked down at me.
"Ashley, do you want to die?"
He said with a deep and gloomy voice.
I knew that he was angry. Because I went there alone without discussing with him.
However, as long as I thought that something bad would happen to Ashe, I couldn't care about anything. Whether it was dangerous or a trap, I must go.
Because I must save my child.
I opened my mouth and looked at Justin, but I couldn't say a word.
"If you die..." Justin suddenly lowered his head and gently held me in his arms.
He put his chin on my shoulder and whispered to me in a cold voice.
Justin...
I had never seen him like this. At that moment, he was fragile and his face was pale, which touched my heart.
"Ashley, if you die, I won't let Edward and your parents go. Do you understand?"
Justin raised his head, and his green eyes turned cold and evil.
I looked at Justin and then slowly closed my eyes. Justin, thank you...
"Ashley, can you stay with me? Edward is no longer qualified to make you happy. He and I... should have been one person. I can give you what he used to give you... okay? Ashley."
"Ashley... I'll only love you for the rest of my life. I'll make you happy."
"So, don't leave me. Let's live together, okay?"
Justin said a lot to me, which made me feel sad.
Justin was a good man. He deserved a better woman.
The next day, I was in a better spirit, so Cornelia kept telling me what happened after I was saved by Justin. I had been in a coma for half a month before I woke up. When I was sent to the hospital, the doctor said that I might die several times.
Justin held a gun and pointed it at these doctor's heads. He said that if they couldn't save me, he would kill them.
Because my will to survive was very strong, they brought me back to life.
I thought that Richard might be the one who sent me back.
"Sunny, just tell me if you want to do anything. Before your wounds are scabbed, you can't move."
When Cornelia saw that I had been twisting my body and wanted to get out of bed, she immediately stopped me and said to me seriously.
Looking at Cornelia, I was depressed and had to lie on the bed.
"Do you want to eat apples?" Cornelia took an apple and asked me.
I looked at Cornelia and shook my head gently.
I was not in the mood to eat apples. All I wanted was to see my son.
"What about grapes?" Seeing that I didn't want to eat, she continued to ask me.
I closed my eyes and ignored her.
"Sunny, do your wounds hurt?"
Seeing that I ignored her, Cornelia thought it was because of the pain in my wounds. She carefully approached me and asked worriedly.
I looked at her and shook my head with a frown. I just... really wanted to see my son.
"Well, I'll go back and cook soup for you. What kind of soup do you want to drink today? You must be tired of chicken soup. How about red mushrooms soup? Or glossy ganoderma soup? Or medicine soup?"
Cornelia muttered. But I felt sad in my heart.
After she left, I tried to get up from the bed.
Edward... Were we really destined to be apart?
We were clearly so close to each other.
"Mommy... I'm so scared." Ashe's childish voice interrupted my thoughts.
I came to sense. Looking at his delicate and beautiful face, I kissed his eyebrows lovingly.
Ashe was a little itchy because of my action and let out a giggle.
"Mommy... I miss you so much."
Me too.
I reached out my hand and held Ashe in my arms.
We lay on the bed together. After playing with me for a while, he fell asleep.
I smiled when I saw that he was fine.
As long as Ashe was fine, no matter how painful I was, I would hold on.
At night, Justin came over to see me. After seeing Ashe on my bed, his face suddenly darkened.
He looked at Ashe unhappily and snorted, "Why is he here?"
"Bad uncle, this is my mommy." With his small butt twisted, Ashe glanced at Justin and said to him discontentedly.
Justin became particularly unhappy because of Ashe's words.
Looking at Justin, I couldn't help but laugh. Justin picked up Ashe from my bed with a cold face.
I looked at Justin's movement and worried that he would hurt Ashe, so I became anxious.
Justin glanced at me and said casually, "Are you worried that I will hurt him? Don't worry, I won't hurt him, because he is your child."
Justin's words touched me.
I looked at Justin with tears in my eyes and felt a little guilty.
Just now, I was worried that Justin would hurt Ashe. I really thought too much.
How could Justin hurt Ashe?
"Bad uncle, let go of me. I want my mommy." Ashe was not afraid of Justin at all, and he was not scared by his mask. Instead, he even touched Justin's mask with his hand.
Looking at Ashe, I laughed.
"Don't laugh." Justin seemed to have no way to resist Ashe. Seeing the smile on my face, he said angrily.
I blinked, covered my mouth, and snickered.
But I accidentally torn the wounds on my back.
Seeing the uncomfortable look on my face, Justin put down Ashe and strode to me. He said with concern, "What's wrong? Is it very painful? I'll call the doctor right away."
