When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1538

This scary and unethical human experiment shouldn’t exist.

At that moment, tears streamed down the young researcher’s face, and his eyes became blurry.Hearing my words, he muttered an address, “M-M Country… Cranur… St. Peter’s Orphanage… Unit118…”

His voice was too soft, so I didn’t hear what he had said. Running out of patience, I didn’t continueasking him. Instead, I gave Joseph an order, “Mr. Campbell, make a trip to that place to figure out thesituation. Try your best to save the children.”

“Yes, Mrs. Fuller,” Joseph answered without any hesitation and signaled for the subordinates to takethe researchers out of the room before he left.

Once they had left, there were only the three of us left in the living room. Maybe everyone was worriedabout the unknown gene mutations in my body, so the atmosphere was tense at that time.

Furrowing his brows, John had his hands in his pocket with a preoccupied face.

In the meantime, Ashton’s face was grim. He always liked to give orders, but he didn’t talk much justnow, and now, he even took out a cigarette and lit it up.

Letting out a deep sigh, I walked toward him with a frown on my face. I reached out to grab thecigarette in his hand and stubbed it out in the ashtray.

“If I catch you smoking again, I’ll punish you based on our family rules,” I said with a serious and fiercelook on my face. I thought I must have looked like a tigress at that moment.

So what? I was just trying to liven up the atmosphere.

To me, I was not sure if gene mutations would occur in my body. Perhaps, I might not experience anyside effects forever. But I had no regret for becoming Ashton’s lab rat because I was certain that hewouldn’t go blind now.

If a person didn’t want to have a relationship with someone, he would draw clear boundaries betweenthem, just like how Ashton treated Rebecca. He tolerated and forgave her to repay Parker.

However, Ashton and I were husband and wife. We were one, so we should be there for each other. Itwas only natural for us to owe each other.

When someone fell in love with the right person, he would definitely be willing to sacrifice for thatperson.

At that moment, there was about half a meter of distance between Ashton and me. We stared at eachother for a period of time. His eyes were dark and mysterious.

Although I was complaining about him, I hoped that he knew I didn’t mean it and I would never regretmarrying him.

I didn’t blame him for that and I didn’t want him to put all the blame on himself for the choices thatNicolas made. For now, we should look forward and stop brooding over past regrets.

After a long while, Ashton’s expression changed from one of gloom to relief. Then, he let out a faintsmile as he put his hand up to his forehead like a soldier and said, “Yes, Honey.”

Looking at him, my lips curled into a smile unwittingly.

A single look by the both of us made us let go of the grudges. At that time, I felt like my life wascomplete because I had found someone who knew me so well.

After a while, I remembered that John was also in the living room. When I turned around, I saw a sullenJohn crossed his arms over his chest and stared at Ashton and me. The scene that he had witnessedjust now made him doubt his eyesight.

When he realized that I was looking at him, he lifted his chin and said angrily, “You guys continue. Justignore me. I’ll see how far you will go. Let me take a lesson from you so I can do this with my wife too.”

I guessed what he really meant to say was, ‘When my wife gets here, I’ll show you how affectionate weare!’.

Upon hearing that, I didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, I teased him, “Hmm. I hope the childrendon’t see you as a henpecked man.”

“Tsk! What did you say? What henpecked man? Besides, does someone need to learn from me to besubmissive to his wife? Recently, someone excelled in both his work and household. I think he is thereal henpecked man!” John retorted angrily.
