When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1563

Although Shaun had saved Audrey’s life, I couldn’t help but agree with John’s suspicions.

When John said that, a tense atmosphere filled the room. No one tried to refute his statement too.

After a few moments, Dr. Evans was the first to break this awkward silence.

“Although he’s in a stable condition, he’s displaying some symptoms of malnutrition. During this period of rest, it’d be best if you could be more mindful of his diet. If not, it might have devastating consequences when he’s older,” Dr. Evans instructed.

“Mrs. Fuller, please don’t thank me. I was merely fulfilling my duty as a doctor. If there isn’t anything else, will it be all right if I take my leave?”

After Ashton dismissed him, Dr. Evans and the nurse left the room.

In the wake of the doctor’s departure, Yuna, James, and Shaun were the only outsiders left in the Fuller residence.

Clearly, John’s pointed remark had affected Yuna and James. Their delight upon hearing that Shaun was fine had morphed into one of worry and pain. Before we could say anything, Yuna stepped forward. “Mr. Fuller, Mrs. Fuller, since Shaun is in such a weak state, it wouldn’t be wise for him to go embark on a long journey. Why don’t we bring him home another day?”

Judging from the look of worry scrawled all over Yuna’s face, she must be feeling sympathetic toward Shaun. As a woman myself, I could empathize with her feelings.

Shaun’s adoption was something Ashton and I agreed on. Hence, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t hurt to delay it for a week. This way, we can repay our gratitude to Shaun for saving Audrey’s life.

Before I could reply, I heard Ashton’s husky voice echo behind me. “Can you stand it?”

“Mr. Fuller, I’m fine.” Shaun raised his head to look at Ashton. “The housekeeper has already informed me of this arrangement. I will leave at once.”

“Shaun, where are you going?” Audrey asked cluelessly.

Shaun glanced at Ashton before he tilted his head to look at Audrey. He smiled at her and said, “I’m going to buy the world’s sweetest lollipop for Ms. Audrey! Can you promise me to stay at home until I return?”

“The world’s sweetest lollipop?” Audrey mulled over Shaun’s offer before a bright smile broke across her face. “All right! But you have to promise to return as fast as you can. If you don’t, I won’t play with you again!”

“I promise.” Shaun nodded before his gaze darted toward Yuna and James. “I’ll be leaving now,” he murmured.
