Chapter 273

Sobbing, she declared, “I was too stubborn and unreasonable. Ash, I’ll change my bad habits. I’ll begood!”

Ashton frowned. After all, he had been taking care of her for years. It wouldn’t be easy for him to forgether.

He glanced at me without a word, and I immediately knew what he was about to do.

After a pause, I told him, “You can stay with her. I’ll go to the doctor myself.”

He pursed his lips. “I’ll join you later?”

“No. She needs you more than I do.” He was obviously worried about her. If he leaves with me, he’ll beworried the whole time. Why would I humiliate myself?

Tears rolled down Rebecca’s face. “Scarlett, are you still mad at me? I apologize on behalf of my mom.I would’ve stopped her if I had an inkling of her intention.”

With that, she fell to her knees with a loud thud while sobbing profusely.

Everyone in the hallway, including the patients in their wards, craned their necks to see what was goingon.

Cameron, who was silent for the entire time, immediately tried to help her up. As her daughter refusedto budge, she sank to her knees, too. “Scarlett, it was all my doing. Rebecca doesn’t know I tried toabduct you. You made Rebecca lose her baby the same way. Do you feel better now?”

I furrowed my frows.. Interesting.

“Young lady, everyone makes mistakes. You should forgive them.”

“Yes! Besides, she’s still ill. Don’t make things difficult for them.”

The crowd’s voice grew louder, criticizing me for being unreasonable.

I had run out of ideas. “Ladies, if you want me to forgive you, pay your respects to my child, whom youchoked to death. Rebecca, your miscarriage has nothing to do with me. Did I choke or suffocate yourchild to death? You were the one who was afraid Sally might run a DNA test after you gave birth. If theresults prove the child isn’t Ashton’s, he’ll leave you for sure. You dared not give birth to your child andblamed its death on me!

“If I am that capable, I would’ve saved my child when Ms. Anderson kidnapped me and murdered mychild. You did something wrong. I’m not obliged to forgive you every time you beg for forgivenessshamelessly.”

With that, I stepped back and entered the elevator.

Ashton soon caught up to me as we entered the car.

I sneered. “Mr. Fuller, won’t you accompany your crush?”

He sat in the driver’s seat and grabbed my chin to kiss me deeply.

“Scarlett, why are you this rude?”

I shoved him away. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt your crush. I’ll control myself next time.”

After struggling in vain, my anger heightened. “Ashton, you don’t have to insult me this way. If you wantto defend her, you’re welcome to slap me. We’ll both feel better that way.”

He stopped and forced me to meet his gaze. “You’re not mad. Is it because it’s unnecessary, or do Idisgust you?”

I was stunned.

His gaze darkened. “Do you think I will defend Rebecca? You don’t think of me as your husband? Am Ithat heartless?”

I pressed my lips together and glanced at him silently.

“No!” I responded after a pause.

He felt responsible for Rebecca. Even if he knew what was going on, he had to fulfil his promise toParker.

Besides, both Rebecca and I lost our babies. To others, we suffered from the same plight, so we shouldcall it even.

From the perspective of a bystander, I shouldn’t be holding a grudge against her.

Ashton gazed at me before sneering. “You’ve never thought of me as the father of your child. You don’tcare what I’ll do, right? After losing the child, you asked for Marcus’ help. You wanted to help John.You’ve never thought of asking me. Scarlett, what am I to you? A useless ornament?”

I was amused by his outburst. “Ashton, you’re the one who can’t get over Rebecca. You weren’t therewhen I was in trouble. Did you forget how you went to Rebecca several times after midnight? I don’tknow what your feelings for me are.”

Why is he so upset? I’ve tried my best to be magnanimous. Whenever he went to Rebecca, I saidnothing. I didn’t hold a grudge against her for killing my baby and forgave her. When she needs him, Ieven advised him to take care of her.
