"Nobody. He's just a friend I know. All I need to do now is to keep driving forward, right?"
I held the steering wheel tightly and said coldly.
Ethel threatened me, and then let me go on.
She said that if I dared play tricks, she would make me regret it.
After driving for an hour, the car stopped at a hotel.
I stopped the car and went to room 101 according to Ethel's instructions. When I opened the door, there was no one in it.
Then I asked Ethel on the phone with confusion, "Where are you? I've arrived..."
"Bang." As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a sound. I looked back warily, and a black shadow rushed to me. Then there was a sharp pain on my neck. Before I could react, I fainted.
I forgot to be careful when I entered the room.
Sure enough, Ethel asked me to come out on purpose.
What on earth did she want to do?
"Mommy." In a daze, I heard Ashe's voice.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Ashe in front of me. He looked at me with worry in his delicate and cute face.
I let out a sigh of relief when I saw him. Then I reached out and hugged him.
"Ashe, I'm so worried about you."
Ashe rubbed against my arms and held my neck tightly with both hands.
"Mommy, I'm scared. Ethel is so horrible."
Ashe said with his voice trembling, which made me worried.
I comforted Ashe in my arms and looked around.
This house so familiar. Could it be...
The room was so dark, and it was the house that Ethel used to live. Edward had lived here for a long time before. It turned out that Ethel had hidden Ashe here. No wonder we couldn't find Ashe.
"Creak." Just as I was lost in thought, the door was gently pushed open. When I heard this sound, I felt creepy all over.
I hugged Ashe in my arms tightly and looked at Ethel who was walking in from the outside with vigilance.
"Ethel, stop. Let me and Ashe get out of here." I looked at Ethel's strange smile and said with my face darkened.
"I don't want to do anything to you." Ethel looked at me and said. Under the dim light, her delicate face looked extremely scary.
Being stimulated by her ghostly voice, I clenched my fists.
"Since you don't want to do anything to us, let us

go. I looked at Ethel and said.
"Ashley, I don't want to do this either. I like Ashe very much. As long as you promise me to divorce Eddie,
I won't hurt you." Ethel squatted down and stared at me with her big eyes.
When I heard that, I laughed, "Do you think I'll divorce Edward?"
I knew that she took Ashe away for Edward.
"If you divorce Eddie, I'll let you go, okay? I don't want to hurt you, and you don't force me. I can let you leave here with Ashe, but the premise is that you can't get close to Eddie, and you can't see Eddie. Leave Beijing, okay?" Ethel looked at me with madness in her eyes.
Looking at her crazy look, I suddenly felt cold all over.
"Ethel, Edward doesn't love you. Even if you force me to divorce him, it's useless. The person he loves isn't you."
I held Ashe in my arms and looked behind Ethel quietly.
As long as I could stop Ethel, I would be able to get out of here with Ashe.
"Nonsense! The person that Eddie loves has always been me. You're despicable. It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, Edward wouldn't have abandoned me. Will Eddie be mine if I kill you?" Ethel was stimulated by my words. She took out a knife and roared at me crazily.
I looked at the knife in her hand and felt scared.
It was a real knife. "Ethel, put down the knife in your hand."
I held Ashe in my arms tightly and stared at the knife in Ethel's hand.
"Ashley, promise me that you can leave Eddie, okay?" Ethel looked at the knife in her hand, tilted her head and said. Her eyes were horrible.
Looking at Ethel, I was really frightened.
I was so nervous and pretended to compromise, "Okay, I can divorce Edward."
"Really?" Ethel said happily when she heard that.
I could only nod and said, "Yes, I promise you. Can you let us go now?"
"No, I want you to talk about divorce with Eddie now."
Did she want me to call Edward?
"Okay."
I took out my mobile phone and pretended to call Edward, while Ethel was looking at my actions expectantly. When I saw that her attention was focused on my phone, I put on a cold face and threw the phone at her.
"Ah!" Ethel let out a sharp scream and squatted on the ground. I pushed away her body and ran out with Ashe in my arms.
However, before I ran out, a pistol was pointed at my head.
Miriam, who was threatening me with arrogance just now, could only let out a shrill scream at this moment.
"Ah!"
"How dare you hurt Ashley? Do you want to die?" Justin narrowed his eyes coldly and kicked Miriam again. I heard her bones break.
Looking at Miriam who was in pain, I felt so happy.
"Justin, send her to the police station." Miriam was a dangerous lunatic, and the only way to stop her was to send her to the police station.
"Haha... Ashley, do you want to die?"
When Justin caught Miriam, she suddenly looked at me and burst into crazy laughter.
Hearing her crazy laughter, I put on a cold face.
Justin stared at Miriam with his face darkened.
"Justin, you love Ashley very much, don't you? How about making a deal?"
Miriam said to Justin coquettishly with a charming smile.
I stepped forward and slapped Miriam in her face. Then she became angry.
She glared at me angrily and said in a shrill voice, "Ashley, how dare you hit me?"
"I've never seen a shameless person like you. How can you be so disgusting? There are so many men in the world, but you insist on seducing someone else's husband. Are you insane?"
"You..." Miriam glared at me with a horrible look.
"Talking with you makes me feel awful. Justin, take her to the police station."
I snorted and stepped on Miriam's foot.
"Wait for me in the car." Justin looked at me with deep eyes and said. "Okay." I looked at Miriam and then walked to Justin's car with Ashe in my arms.
It seemed that Justin had something to ask Miriam. Since Miriam had been caught by me, I would not let her leave so easily.
I wouldn't let Ethel go either.
"Mommy, did my uncle save us?" After we sat in the car, Ashe hugged with my neck and whispered.
"Yes, we are safe now."
I touched Ashe's head and let out a sigh of relief when I saw that he was not injured.
Fortunately, Ethel didn't hurt Ashe. Otherwise, I would definitely give her a lesson.
"Mommy... I'm so sleepy."
Ashe rubbed his eyes, hugged me, and fell asleep.
