When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 

He raised his eyebrows. “The tickets to K City for the evening have already been booked. Have you forgotten?”

If he had not brought this up, I definitely would have forgotten.

I was dumbfounded for a moment and then I asked, “What must I bring with me?”

“Nothing!” He put his arm around my waist. “Joseph has arranged everything. We’ll be staying for a few days. I’ll bring you to meet Aunt Sally!”

“Should we go for another check-up?” The baby is almost seven months old. It didn‘t develop so well in the early stages. Since we are not familiar with K City, would it not be better to do a check–up before we leave? 

Perhaps he knew what bothered me as he said, “Dr. Ludwick has arranged for an obstetrician and gynecologist to come with us. I have also arranged for a doctor in K City, so don’t worry.”

I just nodded and thought for a while, “Macy and Dr. Crest are still in the hospital. When we go off, who will take care of them?”

“Jared has recuperated well. He just has to stay in the hospital for a few more days.

The doctor for Macy said that she can be discharged. If you are worried about her, let her come with us.” He had thought of everything so well that I was at a loss for words for a while.

After pondering over it, I asked, “Shall we not go to the family home and say goodbye to Uncle Charlie and Aunt Helen?!?

He stopped talking and looked at me. His dark eyes gazed at me for a long time and then he asked, “Scarlett, you don’t want to go to K City, do you?”

I was stunned and shook my head. “No, it’s just that I’m used to staying here in J City. It’s basically strange to go to K City. Besides, I don’t sleep well now. I’m afraid it’s going to get worse in K City.”

I didn’t like it and I didn’t want to go. Rebecca’s biological parents were both there and their power and authority were based here. I had a bad omen that I might get blown up in bits if I go there.

“I have contacted the doctor. This time I won’t be there for a long time, at most one

month. After seeing Aunt Sally and the doctor, we’ll come back. We won’t stay for long. You are not well and you need treatment, both for you and for the child. I know that Dr. Kane is with you but both of you are friends. A doctor’s judgement may be affected by personal emotions!”

He said this in a very sincere tone so I didn’t and couldn’t deny it.

Looking down at the palm of my hand, I nødded, “Well, I’ll go with your arrangements! What time is the flight tonight?” Later, I would go and see Macy and Jackson. We summoned Jackson back from afar so, I definitely couldn’t go off to K City without seeing him.

“Six o’clock!”

I nodded and said plainly, “In a while, I shall go to see Macy.”

“I’ll go with you!”

Coming out of the ward, I bumped into Joe and Rebecca. She cast me a glance that was both calm and nonchalant. I always felt that she had changed a lot, seemingly more at peace with herself.

Passing the lunch boxed into Joe’s hand, I said, “Mr. Quinn, you don’t mind bringing these to Dr. Crest’s room, do you?”

Joe raised his eyebrows. “You made them?”

“It was Ashton!” With that, he took the food containers. I did not say much but went to the surgical ward.

John seemed especially good at berating people. At the door of the ward, I could hear him telling the nurse to get out in a very cold tone.

The nurse came out of the ward looking ashen. When she saw me, she pulled my hand and said, “Ms. Stovall, something urgent has come up at home so, I am unable to continue working here. Please will you contact another nurse quickly?”

“Letty, are you here?” From inside the bedroom came John’s voice.

The nurse left without saying much.

Entering the ward, I saw John on the hospital bed with a mobile phone in his hand. Seeing me, his gloomy face started smiling “You’ve got the pasta ready?”

I nodded as I passed the pasta to him, “Don’t make things difficult for the nurses. Tonight I’m leaving for K City with Ashton. We’ll be there for some time. You’d better get someone to come and take care of you.”
