When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 1540

Chapter 1540

Emma and Drew had a flight scheduled at six. At seven o’clock, John had arrived with hissubordinates.

After resting for a whole day, both Louis and Cameron made an appearance in the evening.

After six years, our family was finally reunited. As the children played together, the adults gathered andshared tales about events that had occurred last night. Occasionally, they would discuss the hardshipsthat they had experienced in the past years too. As time has flown past, they all harbored mixedfeelings.

When the dishes were served, Emery brought the kids back. “Congratulations! The two of you havefinally broken free of the nightmare that plagued you for years!” she exclaimed cheerily as she took aseat.

The neutral relationship between Emery and Zachary had remained unchanged throughout the years.After her divorce from Hunter, Emery and her children relied solely on each other. Additionally, Emeryno longer attended such boisterous events. I was worried that she’d become too detached from societyif she continued down this path. Thus I decided to invite her. Seeing her joyful mood, it seems like I wasworried for nothing.

In terms of social settings and relationships, Emery would be able to mingle well unless she bumpedinto someone she disliked.

“It’s too early to celebrate,” John added, “We can’t forget about Nathaniel. He is no better than theHalls.”

He took a seat beside Emma as he spoke. Nonchalantly, he reached out a hand to toy with her longhair.

John pulled Emma into his embrace and wrapped his hands around her waist with a pleased lookacross his face. On the other hand, Emma remained calm despite John’s actions. She continued tolisten attentively to the ongoing conversation and treated John as if he was invisible. The stark contrastin their reactions painted John as a clingy and affectionate lover.

When Hannah was still here, I had envisioned such a scene too. Although things have remainedunchanged, they were no longer the same people they used to be. However, who could claim that Johnand Emma were a bad match? Things would turn out best when decided by destiny and fate.

Seeing that I was looking, John’s movements grew bolder. He raised his arm in a semi-circle andplaced it on Emma’s shoulder as he caught her in his embrace. The scene was reminiscent of thesweet affection of a married couple.

It seemed like he was still affected by Ashton. Now, he was desperately trying to regain his dignity andpride.

I wasn’t sure if the years had softened him, or maybe Emma was the one responsible for melting hisheart. Right now, John had finally gained his fighting spirit.

The thought made me smile with joy.

“What’s on your mind?” Ashton asked and pulled me into his embrace when he caught sight of my grin.

“Nothing much. It looks like everyone is doing well,” I beamed and placed my hand over his leftshoulder.

No matter my presence, I can finally let go of the past and start a new life.

I kept the last sentence to myself. Ashton would have been unhappy if I said it aloud.

“It’s because you are here,” Ashton replied with a soft smile. Gently, he tucked a stray lock of hairbehind my ear.

Despite his languid movements, Ashton’s dark gaze was fixated intently on my face.

Although I remained silent, he was able to read my thoughts as clear as day.

“Scar,” Cameron called out all of a sudden. Her voice snapped me out of my daze, and I turned aroundto address her. “What is it? I’m listening.”

Cameron nodded in acknowledgment. “John mentioned that your sickness isn’t diagnosable?” sheasked in earnest.

I had no wish to ruin the cheery mood by talking about it. Yet, I noted that she had asked me out ofconcern for my well-being. “Yes. However, it hasn’t shown any symptoms in six years. I figure that it willnot bring me any more trouble,” I replied reluctantly.

Cameron shook her head profusely. “You cannot neglect your health. How can you take such a riskygamble? Maybe the resources and facilities in this country are not up to date. After everything issettled, why don’t you visit M Country with us and take this opportunity to confirm your illness?”

After six years, Cameron – a renowned and respectful figure in our generation had aged greatly. Yet,her kind eyes were filled with nothing but concern and worry.

In order to relieve her worries and settle the root of this problem, the best scenario would be to accepther good intentions.
