I covered my chest with my hand and knelt on the ground in a cold sweat. Because of the pain, my whole body was shaking violently.
Looking at me, Ashe was scared and called me.
"I'm fine." I shook my head, endured the pain and and said.
"Mommy." When Ashe reached out his hand and was about to help me up, I lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Ashe grabbed my arm tightly with his chubby little hand and screamed.
"Ashe..." I bit my lip and called him.
"Ashley."
Just when I was in great pain, Justin appeared.
He looked at me in panic and picked me up from the ground.
"It's okay. The doctor will be here soon. You'll be fine."
Justin touched my face nervously and said to me.
My whole body was twitching in pain. I could only grab Justin's clothes feebly. I gasped in pain and said, "Justin... It hurts... Help me..."
I almost couldn't breathe, and I could only ask him for help.
"Open your mouth and eat this." After putting me on the bed, Justin gave me the brown pill I ate before. I ate the pill and gasped in pain, but I didn't feel better.
"Does it still hurt?" Justin rubbed the position of my heart anxiously.
"It hurts so much..."
I grabbed the sheet under me and let out a scream.
I grabbed my right hand with my left hand and scratched my arms with my fingernails. The wounds on my arm were burning hot, but it relieved the pain in my heart, so I scratched myself with force again.
"Ashley."
Justin was in a panic when he saw me like this. He tightly grabbed my hands and did not let me move.
I glared at Justin, opened my mouth, and bit his arm hard.
"Oh." Justin let out a muffled groan, but he did not let go of me.
He held me in his arms and whispered, "It's okay, Ashley, I'm here with you."
"Mommy... Wuwu..."
Ashe was crying. I wanted to tell him that I was fine, but I didn't have the strength to speak.
"Bring Ashe to his room." Justin ran his fingers through my messy hair and ordered the servant behind him.
"Ashe..." I let go of Justin's arm and struggled to call Ashe's name. Ashe was taken away by the servant. I reached out my hand and tried to grab him, but there was nothing I could do.
"You don't want Ashe to see you like this, do you? I will ask the servants to take good care of him." Justin touched my hair very gently and said. I was so painful that I couldn't see anything clearly, and my ears were tingling.
"Her pain is getting worse."
"What should we do? Didn't you say that the pain can be controlled by the pills?"
"It can be controlled, but her heart is getting worse quickly. We are really..."
"D*mn it, are you telling me that you can't do anything about it? Then why should I keep you?"
"Please don't be angry..."
"Bang..."
"Send someone to contact Miriam and ask if she has any medicine."
"You'll be fine soon, Ashley..."
Edward... Where were you?
I couldn't see anything but darkness, then I fainted.
"Are you finally awake?" When I opened my eyes again, it was already evening.
Justin gently touched my face with his fingers trembling. His handsome face was extremely haggard at this moment.
I coughed, and I felt that there was blood in my throat.
"Ugh."
"Ashley!" When I saw the blood on the quilt which was vomited by me, I froze.
Justin held me in his arms and shouted my name in a panic.
I raised my head and wanted to ask Justin what was wrong with me. But I couldn't see anything clearly. I could only lean against Justin feebly.
"Why did her vomit blood? Tell me, why!"
"Her illness has worsened and her heart has been damaged badly. We can't do anything about it."
"Where is Miriam? Bring her here."
"Okay."
It was so noisy...
I didn't know how long it had been, when I opened my eyes, I saw Justin who looked haggard.
After seeing me open my eyes, he nervously held my hand and said, "Ashley, you're awake. How do you feel?"
"Is here the hospital?"
"Justin, you deserve a better woman. I don't deserve you. I only love Edward in my life and there is no way for me to love anyone else."
"It doesn't matter if you don't love me. At least, during these days, I can tell myself that you're mine."
Justin held me in his arms and gently wiped the blood off my lips.
"Ashley, do you still believe Edward? The content of the newspaper is true. I helped Miriam to lure Edward into the trap. He had no way to resist the drug effect. I've had a lot of men use the drug. No matter how powerful a man is, he can't resist the drug effect, and Edward is no exception." "Justin, you don't understand the Edward." I looked at Justin and smiled bitterly.
"Ashley, do you really believe him that much? Don't forget that he's just a man." Justin was a little angry, he frowned and said to me.
I stared at Justin and said firmly, "I believe him. He is not a person who would be trapped. He must have his own plans."
My words made Justin's body tighten.
After staring at me for a long time, he lowered his head, kissed my eyelids and said, "Ashley, let me accompany you these days, okay?"
"Justin, why do you have to do that?"
"You're right. Our plan was seen through by Edward. Now he has locked Miriam up, so my assistant can't bring Miriam here. Ashley, Miriam has a way to cure you."
"It's no use. Since I have a heart failure, she can just temporarily delay the process. I'll die..."
"No, I won't let you die. I will definitely bring Miriam..."
"Edward is here."
Justin rudely interrupted my words and looked at me with extremely horrible eyes.
Looking at Justin whose emotion was out of control, I had a complicated feeling.
Although Justin brought me and Ashe here, I didn't hate him. I knew that he just wanted to save me.
"He actually found this place so quickly." Justin clenched his fists which were put on my waist. "Justin, let me see Edward."
"Do you want to see Edward with your ill body?" Justin's face darkened, and he stared at me sharply and said.
When I heard it, I was a little sad.
"Stay here. I'll deal with Edward. Ashley, you don't want him to see you like this, do you?"
Justin's words made me hesitate. I didn't want to let Edward worry about me. I didn't know whether he knew that I was sick or not.
"Mommy." After Justin left, someone brought Ashe to me. The quilt had been changed by the servant, so Ashe didn't know that I vomited blood just now.
When I saw Ashe's white and tender face, I reached out and hugged him, "Ashe."
I didn't want to die, I wanted to live. Even if there was a little hope for me to live, I wouldn't give up.
I wanted to find out the murderer who hurt my mother and accompany Ashe to grow up. I wanted to be with Edward forever. How could I die?
"Mommy, why are you crying? Did uncle bully you?" I burst into tears unconsciously. I didn't come to sense until Ashe touched my face with his chubby hand.
