Torn Between Love and Hate
Chapter 42

Chapter 42 You Are Ashton's Slave

The tension was everywhere in the bedroom, but there was not even a hint of anger in Ashton's voice.

Deborah gritted her teeth and did not say anything. He did not say anything more and took the phone from the coffee table to read

the news

The rain outside the floor to ceiling window was getting heavier and heavier. It was a rare heavy rain in winter, which made the leaves

make a cracking sound.

From time to time, the sound of branches being blown off by the wind was heard.

Deborah's heart trembled when she heard that. There was a knock on the door outside the bedroom

Jeff's anxious voice came in "Mr. Mullen, that child has a nosebleed and her body is twitching The temperature outside is below zero and it is raining so heavily. Why don't we let her in?* Ashton did not respond and continued to look at his phone.

Jeff mustered up his courage and spoke again, "Mr. Mullen, we can't continue like this. I'm afraid she'll really die."

Deborah's body trembled more and more violently, and she finally couldn't control her voice. "What exactly do you want?"

Ashton did not respond, as if he did not hear her.

Deborah supported herself to get up and walk over. The man sitting on the sofa finally looked at her. "Did I ask you to stand up?"

Deborah's fingers were tightly clutching the carpet beneath her. The sound of rain was very loud outside, but she still moved over bit by bit and moved to Ashton.

Ashton put his phone aside and said, "Give me your hand."

Deborah struggled and reached out her hand after a while.

Ashton grabbed her hand and let her hold the belt around his waist. "You are very smart. You know what to do."

Deborah shook her hands and pulled the straps, then reached out to untie her clothes.

Ashton looked at her mockingly. "Did I say I was going to touch you?"

Deborah stopped moving. Ashton suddenly reached out and pressed her head.

"Ugh!"

Deborah could no longer hold on. She pushed Ashton's hand away and got up to rush into the bathroom.

Ashton didn't force her anymore. He released his hand and looked at her calmly. "If you vomit, then it doesn't count." Deborah sat down miserably. Ashton's voice was sexually hoarse. "Did Joseph do this to you too?"

Deborah resisted nausea and soon felt a strong retch. She wanted to pull out her entire stomach and throw it away.

She could longer suppress the surging hatred in her eyes. Her face was covered in a cold sweat. She hissed, "Is that enough?" Ashton snevied. Before he could speak, there was another urgent knock on the door. "Mr. Mullen, the child fainted!"

Deborah got up in a panic and stumbled out of the door.

When Alyssa was sent to the hospital, the sky was bright.

Alyssa was pushed into the emergency room. Deborah sat anxiously in the chair outside and waited. Ashton stood aside and watched

her make a fool of herself.

He still remembered that Deborah had told him not long ago that it was meaningless for Alyssa to live like this. She would rather die with Alyssa.

But now, did she look like she was willing to let that bastard die?

Ashton's lips curved into a mocking smile. When he looked at her, he couldn't help but recall the painful struggle she had in the

bedroom.

The door of the emergency room suddenly opened and Deborah stood up. A doctor came out from inside and said, "Ms. Shepherd, your daughter must immediately arrange a bone marrow change "Her condition has reached an extremely temble state. We only let her temporarily escape from the fetal danger, but she is still in a coma with a high fever Has she found a suitable bone marrow?" Deborah's eyes were bloodshot. She turned around and looked at the indifferent look on Ashton's face. Then she looked at the doctor. "Does she need to change now? Didn't you say that... she can wait for more than a month?"

The doctor explained anxiously. "When leukemia is at the final stage, the patient's body is extremely weak. When she's extremely weak, she will no longer be able to bear the bone marrow transplant operation. Now, arranging the bone marrow is the last chance for

her to live."

Deborah's face was pale. She could not care about anything else. She turned around and hurried to Ashton, "Can you save Alyssa? Can you save her?"

Ashton looked at her as if she was a joke and did not speak.

Deborah was completely flustered and her voice was incoherent. "Save her, save her, please. I'll give you a child, okay? I can do whatever you want. Please."

Ashton asked her calmly. "Who are you begging?"

Deborah had lost all reason. She trembled and said, "Ashton, Ashton, please help me. Please save Alyssa."

Ashton teased her unhurriedly. "Who is Alyssa? What does it have to do with me?"

Deborah said anxiously, "Alyssa is your child. Ashton, she is your daughter."

Ashton looked unhappy and suddenly grabbed her neck. "You are still talking nonsense. She is a bastard!"

Deborah was stunned. Ashton shouted angrily, "Say that she is a bastard and is not my child""

Deborah opened her mouth but could not speak. Her eyes were blank and helpless.

Ashton let go of her neck. "Say it!"

Deborah's body was cold, but she still slowly said, "She... is a bastard, not your daughter."

Ashton raised his hand and slapped her face.

Deborah swallowed her saliva, her face burning with pain. She did not move.

Ashton turned on the video on his phone and said coldly, "Kneel down and say what you just promised."

Debu looked at his phone camera in a daze and slowly knelt down like a doll.

"I said if you ... saved Alyssa. I'd give you a child. In the future, I'll do whatever you want me to do."

Ashton finally showed a satisfied expression. He leaned over and touched her head like touching a pet. "You've learned your lesson." Deborah gritted her teeth and did not speak again.

Ashton patted her head. "I'm talking to you."

Deborah replied stiffly, "I... I will be good."

Ashton took back his phone and sneered, "Deborah, you better remember what you said clearly. From now on, you are my slave."

Ashton looked at the stunned doctor outside the operating room and said, 'Where to donate bone marrow?"

The doctor suddenly came back to his senses and responded, "Mr. Mullen, come with me. I'll ask the doctor to arrange it for you."

The doctor led Ashton away. Deborah was still kneeling in the comdor. Chill seeped into her flesh and bones. Her body that she could not move Alyssa's bone marrow transplant was arranged very smoothly. She had surgery that afternoon.

She had undergone chemotherapy many times before, and she had almost met the conditions for bone marrow transplantation. Although this was still a bit rushed, her body really could not wait any longer. Doctors could only immediately arrange the operation. After the entire operation was completed, it took more than five hours. After the transplant was completed, Alyssa was arranged to

live in a stenle warehouse.

In order to accept blood stem cells, her own blood stem cells and immunity had almost been completely destroyed.

After the transplant, her body had to completely rely on the blood stem cells from the donor. It was the weakest time for her, and she could not leave the sterile room for half a minute.

If Alyssa wanted to come out, she would have to wait at least a month.

However, Ashton would not be so kind as to let Deborah accompany Alyssa. On the night when Alyssa finished the transplantation, he took Deborah back to Flora Villa's bedroom and did not come out until the afternoon of the next day.

Helen did not sleep the whole night and was about to go crazy.

In the afternoon, she finally could not help but knock on the door.

Jeff was guarding the corridor outside the bedroom. When he saw her coming over from afar, he immediately stepped forward to stop her. 'Ms. Bauer, Mr. Mullen is tired and needs to rest. He said that no one would disturb him."

Helen's expression was not good. "Jeff, I am a little uncomfortable. I want Ashton to accompany me to the hospital."

Jeff replied indifferently, "Then I will send Ms. Bauer to the hospital, When Mr. Mullen has a good rest later, he will go to see you."

Helen was a little angry and wanted to go in directly. Jeff stopped her no matter what.

After all, he was the housekeeper who had stayed in the Mullen's home for decades. Her words meant something. No matter how angry Helen was, she did not dare to show it directly in front of Jeff. She endured it and said, "I understand. Then I will ask Nina to accompany me to the hospital."

She turned around and left Flora Villa, racing out.

If she didn't replace a place to vent her anger, she would really go crazy.

Ashton kept saying that he loved her and hated Deborah, but she slept next to Ashton's bedroom every night. He had never touched

her.

Flora Villa was very soundproof but she could hear sounds from Ashton's bedroom from time to time at night.

Helen stepped on the accelerator and gritted her teeth. "Joseph has fucked her. She's disgusting and hateful!"

Her car sped all the way and finally stopped at the underground parking lot of Mauve Club.

As soon as Helen pushed open the door and got out of the car, a handsome guy appeared out of nowhere. He hugged her and kissed her. 'Beauty, why haven't you been here for so long?" Helen stiffened and immediately pushed him in a flurry. "You are crazy. We are outside! Go to the room first."

The man laughed. "What are you afraid of? There is no one here."

Helen was turned up and could not control herself.

far away, the window of a black car opened silently and a mobile phone camera was pointed in their direction.
