Chapter 48 Ashton Lost Deborah

Ashton took Deborah directly to the hospital Originally, he planned to go to Rodger's place. He made a phone call and found Rodger had an urgent business trip abroad at that time

The more Ashton looked at Deborah, the more uneasy he felt He asked the driver to go to Richmond Hospital, which was closer. Emest and several other doctors took Deborah into the emergency room. Ashton was waiting outside. He received a call from Nina

As soon as he answered the phone, a terrified voice came from the other side. Sir, we found Ms. Bauer

"She drove the car to the edge of a cliff. The car was now hanging on the cliff. Half of the car was suspended in the air. Ms. Bauer

and Alyssa..."

Ashton's face suddenly darkened. He immediately got up and walked to the end of the corridor. "Where are you?"

Nina reported her position while trembling. Ashton hurried into the elevator and said, "I'll come over immediately. You keep an eye on Helen. If anything happens to her, I'll make you pay with your lives!" After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly. When he arrived, he saw a car hanging on the edge of the cliff.

Nina and Andrew, as well as a few servants of the Mullen family, were standing a distance away from the car, looking at the tottering

car with extreme anxiety.

Ashton rushed over and shouted angrily, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and save them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Helen's sharp and frightened voice came from the car. "I don't want anyone else to come over. They are all bad people. I don't want them! Ashton, Ashton, save me!" Ashton signaled Nina to come over. Helen looked at the rearview mirror and screamed, "Nina, don't come over. I only want Ashton. If you come over, I will let go of the brake!"

Nina was just about to move, yet she was so scared that she did not dare to go.

Ashton also had cold sweat on his forehead. He did not dare to take the risk and could only walk over alone.

As he approached, he saw Helen sitting in the driver's seat. Her hand holding the steering wheel trembled, and she was crying.

She looked like she wasn't sober. "Ashton?1 Why would I come here? I'm so scared. I'm so scared. It's so high down there."

Ashton tried his best to calm down and comfort her. "Don't be afraid, Helen. Step on the brakes. Use your hand to pull the handbrake.* Helen sobbed, "I don't dare to move. My hands are stiff. My feet are out of strength. I can't step on the brake anymore."

Ashton said in a low voice, "Calm down. Take your time. Open the door, and I'll take you down."

Helen still did not dare to move. Ashton could only reach in through the half-opened window and slowly opened the car door from the

inside.

He retracted his hand from the window and grabbed Helen's arm from the opened car door.

Helen seemed to be frightened by opening the car door and suddenly cried out, "Help! Help!"

Heli

denly lost control of her emotions. Her feet loosened, and the car immediately moved forward a little.

Helen had been shouting very loudly, and Ashton seemed to hear a little other voice.

He ignored that. When he saw Helen could not step on the brake, and the car began to move forward, he worried.

Helen cried louder and louder. Her face was pale, and her emotions abnormally unsteady. She was about to collapse.

Ashton panicked. He leaned in and grabbed one of Helen's hands. He hugged her waist and pulled her out.

They rolled to the ground together. The car hanging on the cliff swayed and crashed down the cliff. Helen pressed on Ashton and cried desperately. Ashton heard another voice clearly this time.

It came from the back seat of the car that fell off the cliff. Alyssa's sharp and desperate voice was heard. "Mom! Help..."

The weak voice was quickly blown away by the wind as if everything was just an illusion

The car that had fallen off the cliff disappeared without a trace.

Ashton's body was completely frozen He clearly heard Alyssa, who had been mute for a long time, ask for help at the last moment.

It was only then that he finally recovered from the worry. There was another person sitting in the car.

Before Ashton came here, Nina had told him that Helen treated Alyssa as her own daughter and drove away with Alyssa

Where was Alyssa?

Alyssa was still in the car. She had fallen down, and Ashton had even forgotten her.

This was the first time Ashton experienced this feeling. The blood that surged up from his feet rushed to the top of his head. His mind seemed to explode.

It was he who dragged Helen out, causing Helen to let go of the brake and let the car rush down the cliff.

When he leaned in, he could at least hold the hand brake, or open the back door to let Alyssa run out of the car.

Ashton was lying stiffly on the ground. He did not react for a long time.

He knew very well that he could do something for Alyssa. But now it was too late.

Nina and the others cried and rushed to the edge of the cliff. They shouted at the bottom, "Alyssa! Alyssa fell down!"

Helen got up and wanted to jump down the cliff. "My daughter! I'm going to save my daughter!"

Nina tried her best to hold Helen back. "Ms. Bauer, please calm down. Ms. Bauer!"

Helen turned around and cried bitterly. She rushed forward to punch Ashton. "It's all your fault. It's all your fault! How could you not save my daughter? How could you just leave her in the car!" After she finished speaking, she fainted.

Ashton called the police and bodyguards over and went down the cliff to replace Alyssa, or rather, to replace Alyssa's body.

He took Helen to the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, Deborah was pushed out of the emergency room.

Ashton felt too guilty, so he asked Nina to take care of Helen while he went to Deborah's ward.

Deborah had already woken up, and her expression was still a little dazed. She lay on the bed and did not make a sound for a long

time.

Ashton carefully sat down beside her bed and looked at her.

He suddenly realized that Alyssa had died from falling off the cliff, and he lost Deborah.

Debor

ot know how long she had been unconscious. After half a day, she said very softly. "Where is Dr. Gaige?"

Zayne's left hand was definitely crippled. Deborah just wanted to know if he was still alive.

Ashton's tone was unprecedentedly gentle. "Don't worry. Take a good rest first. Zayne was sent to the hospital. He's fine."

Although Zayne had lost his left hand, he had only himself to blame.

Deborah laughed softly, "He is fine?"

Ashton stopped talking. The room fell into a dead silence.

Deborah didn't know why, but she felt a pain in her heart for no reason. It was not because of Zayne.

couldn't bear It. She waited silently for a while and then said, "Ashton, it has been a long time. Let me see Alyssa in the sterile dom, okay?
