When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Caleb smiled and said nothing before leaving

I lay on the bed for the whole morning. After the doctor came in to brief me on things to take note of and taking my medicine, I was discharged from the hospital.

Stacey was waiting for me at the hospital entrance. She helped me into the car as I looked at her and said, “Please come up with something so that Rebecca knows I’ve had an abortion.”

She nodded, started the car and sent me back to the villa.

Ashton was not around. I sent Stacey back to the office. There was nothing much I could do since I had just been discharged from the hospital. So, I fell asleep on the bed.

However, before I drifted off, I heard the sound of an engine humming downstairs. I walked over to the balcony and saw Ashton and Jared.

Just as I thought, Ashton did not even cast me a second glance. He was just calling Jared here to check on me.

I got on the bed. Jared came in with his kit. At the sight of me, he titled his brows. He motioned for me to let him check my pulse.

“Have you brought the medicine I asked for?”

He looked at me and said, “Your cover-up plan is brilliant.”

I kept mum and he checked my pulse, taking some medicine out of his kit, and said, “These are all medicine to keep the baby healthy. If you eat these regularly and there’s no mishap, the baby should be just fine.”

Jared went downstairs afterward. I swapped out the medicine that Jared gave me with the ones I brought back from the hospital.

Then, I lay on the bed again. I had to take at least a week to fully recover from the miscarriage. There was no problem with dragging Caleb’s project for a week. However, it would feel like hell to stay at the villa for one whole week.

I thought Ashton’s fury would subside after he met up with Rebecca, and that it would take him only a while to move on from it all.

I looked at my phone and there was a text from Martha. “Mrs. Fuller, are you feeling better? Caleb has managed to settle his cash flow situation. We really need to thank you for this.”

It seemed like the problem had been resolved at Caleb’s end. So, I could technically head right back to work. After replying to her message, I gave Caleb a call to set a time for him to sign the project completion agreement after he had cleared his payments.

Stacey was done cooking by the time I made an appointment with Caleb. She had something on and had to leave, and so I did not insist for her to stay. “I think I have almost fully recovered, so you can stay in the office tomorrow. I’ve made an appointment with Dr. Ludwick, and I will get to the bouom of it tomorrow.”

She was worried as she looked at me. “Are you sure you’re alright? Don’t you have to at least rest for about two weeks after a miscarriage? It’s only been a few days, Ms. Stovall.”

I smiled. “I look fine, right? Besides, if I don’t settle this thing with Dr. Ludwick, this would have to drag on for a long time. How much losses would the company have to bear by then? By that time I won’t be only geuing dead eyes from Ashton.”

There was no abortion in the first place. Things would go haywire if I just sit here and do nothing all day. Besides, my belly would only be geuing bigger with each passing day. I would have to deal with a bigger problem if I did not draw the line with Ashton as soon as possible.

So, my only choice was to hurry up and settle everything before I could leave J City for good.

Stacey sighed and said, “Alright, but you have to take good care of your health.”
