When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 1114

Chapter 1114

Embarrassed, I was rendered speechless, and my face reddened instantly. After mumbling a response,I immediately ran out of the room.

Ashton had been waiting by the door. When he saw me looking rather upset, he came up to me andasked in a low voice, “Did Professor Zidd lecture you again?”

I shook my head. “No.”

On the other hand, Emery teased me, “He wants you to make sure that your wife gets plenty of rest, sodon’t make her too tired at night.”

“Tsk.” I rolled my eyes at her by way of a threat, but she continued to look at me with a devious smilewhile pretending to zip up her lips.

Ashton did not say anything and merely patted my back as he led me to get my injections.

This estrogen treatment was to solve the issue of my overly thin uterine lining so that the in-vitrofertilization process could begin after my uterine lining reached a certain level of thickness.

Ashton had minor germaphobia. Therefore, he brought my prescription to a private hospital instead ofallowing me to get the injections at the public hospital.

The main advantage of a private hospital was that there were much fewer people in there.

Ashton was rather well-known here. The moment we arrived, a nurse followed us all the way to cater toour needs. From checking our prescription to administering the injections, it was a very clear-cutprocess that took barely ten minutes. As a result, we saved a lot of time that would otherwise be spentwaiting at a public hospital.

Therefore, private healthcare had its advantages despite being expensive.

Ashton supported me as we walked out of the clinic. In the corridor, we actually ran into Nick at theobstetrics and gynecology department.

He was supporting Rose, and they looked very affectionate. It had only been a year, but he hadchanged his hairstyle, looking a lot more sophisticated. Indeed, he seemed more like the head of afamily now.

When they saw us, their smiles remained on their face. Rose greeted us politely, “Scarlett, Ashton.”

Nodding, Ashton did not say anything. After all, he never paid attention to networking.

Right then, I noticed that Rose’s hand was draped over her stomach. With a smile, I asked, “So… willwe be hearing some good news?”

Rose glanced at Nick shyly before nodding and looking at her stomach fondly. “Yes, it’s just been twoweeks, and it’s still a tiny little thing.”

The arrival of a new life could bring so much joy, and I think I was able to understand their bliss now.

“Congratulations!” I was truly happy for them.

It seemed like the dust had settled since Nick was starting his own family.

For some reason, I thought of Jackson. How is he doing in M Country?

As Nick and Rose exchanged glances, one could tell that they were happy to hear such words.

A moment later, Nick looked at me and said sincerely, “I’m sure both of you will get good news too in notime.”

Taken aback, I then realized that he had easily figured out why we were here. “I hope you are right.”

Nick nodded before his eyes fell on Ashton. “Mr. Fuller, your audit season should be coming soon.What do you think of passing some of the work to Harrison Credit?”

With that, he began talking about work. As I observed him, I realized that he had really become his ownman.

However, Ashton did not look like he wanted to continue the conversation. “Let’s not talk about workduring our personal time. We can discuss it in my office later on.”

“That’s a good idea,” Nick said without pursuing the matter further. “I’ll take my leave first, as there areother checkups to be done.”

With that, he led Rose away.
