When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 1338

Chapter 1338

The last thing I saw before going into the elevator was Ashton’s sendoff, though he looked worried.“Drive around the area,” I told Millie after getting into the car.

Millie threw me a look of surprise, but when she noticed that I wasn’t kidding, she revved the engine up.

…

We came back to Fuller Corporation five minutes later, but Millie parked the car where nobody couldsee us. The headlamps and taillights were turned off to keep anyone from noticing us. We could seeeveryone who came in and out of the company, but none of them could see us.

Once Millie stopped the car, I rolled the window down and stared at the revolving door.

Millie was getting bored from my antics, so she lit up a particularly slender cigarette, hung her arm overthe window, and puffed. She had always been a wild one, that Millie.

But I knew she was carrying a great sadness with her. Most women who smoked did. I looked at her,then I got choked by the smoke, so I covered my nose.

Millie puffed one last time before tossing the half-finished cigarette away, then she rolled the windowup.

“It’s fine, really.” I didn’t want her to feel restrained because of me. She might be my employee, but wewere equals, so she didn’t have to pay too much attention to me if she wanted to do something.

Millie looked at me. Her eyes were darker than black, but they were also gleaming with danger andcuriosity. “Most women I’ve met only care about themselves. Well, at least those who are experienced,anyway. You’re an exception.”

I detected sarcasm in that comment. Obviously, she was scoffing at what I was doing. Well, I waschecking up on my husband at his company in the dead of the night. Anyone would think Ashton mightbe cheating on me to warrant that behavior.

Mercenaries had long abandoned love, especially elites like Millie. She didn’t care about the little thingsin love or the big things for that matter.

I was a successful woman after opening my own law firm and having two powerful families backing meup. Millie thought I should live my life to the fullest, but there I was, snooping around to see if myhusband was cheating. At least that was how it seemed to her. Of course, she’d think I was wasting mytime.

I was about to retort, but then I noticed Ashton and Joseph coming out of the company—Ashton washunched. They hurried to the car and drove away.

“Follow them,” I quickly told her, but Millie had done that before I could finish my sentence. She was agreat driver, and the city was brightly lit, so she managed to tail Ashton’s car with the headlamps off.

A short while later, Ashton’s car went into a familiar hospital. It was the one on trending that night—thehospital Thora was in.

“Are we going in?” Millie asked.

“No.” I went out with nothing but my handbag. “Stay here.”

The hospital was eerily quiet that night. There wasn’t even anyone in sight. I was starting to trot in caseI lost them, but fortunately, Ashton and Joseph weren’t going too fast. They had just gone into theelevator when I caught up with them.

I waited for the door to close before going over to see which floor they were on. The wards were on thethird floor, so they should go up if they were there for visitations. However, the elevator went down tothe basement. It was the hospital’s medicine storeroom, but not everyone could get in there.
