Chapter 913

Ashton looked at me for a long time before saying, “Okay. Since you want to stop here, I won’t doanything for now. I’ll let you keep this footage, in case one day you would need it.”

Then, he copied the file into a USB drive and handed it to me.

I took it and leaned on his shoulder, feeling touched. “Ashton, I feel like I always cause you trouble.”

He smiled and lifted my chin with his finger. With a solemn look on him, he said, “Don’t always denyyourself, Scarlett. You’re very outstanding. No one on earth would risk their lives to go into such a coldplace for my stomach. And no one would reject those exceptional men to be with me. In fact, I shouldbe the one to say thank you. You’re the one who makes my life whole.”

I blushed at his words. Is this his love declaration for me?

A sense of warmth swept through me that instant.

We would probably still argue with one another, get angry at each other, or quarrel because of sometrivial matters, but we knew in the depths of our hearts that we belonged only to each other, and no onecould separate us.

In a nutshell, the tender in A City was won by Derek, and Rachel would be fully in charge of the project.Winter came, and Ashton and I went back to K City.

Nora called me one day, saying that she and Armond had come back from overseas. Even thoughArmond was left unhurt, the Murphy Corporation had suffered a great loss from the previous incident.Thus, he did not have the ability to retaliate against the Fuller Corporation for the time being.

Time flew by, and it was now the end of November.

Two days after arriving in K City, I settled down and phoned Sasha’s mother. Previously, I hadtransferred about a million into her bank card, so she told me not to give them any more money. Shealso said that they had given up on the medical treatment, so they had left the hospital and broughtRenee to see the outside world.

After a few rings, the call went through. I could hear the sound of wind blowing from the other side ofthe line, and Sasha’s mother greeted, “Mrs. Fuller, it’s been a long time since we’ve contacted eachother. How are you?”

I greeted back and asked, “Mrs. Brooks, where are you guys now? Is Renee feeling better? I reallythink that you should come back and bring her to the hospital again. I believe it can still be cured.”

Upon that, she sighed, “Mrs. Fuller, thank you for all that you’ve done for Sasha and us. Actually, myhusband and I have brought Renee to Turlen. We’ve never traveled overseas, so this time we broughtRenee here to fulfill Sasha’s wish. As for Renee, we won’t continue the treatment anymore. Thank Godshe has been well these few days. Maybe when we’re done traveling around here, her health conditionwould have improved by then.”

I was taken aback for a second, but when I was about to reply to her, the call was disconnected. It wasprobably because of a bad signal.

Everyone perceived the meaning of life differently. Thus, I respected their decision to bring Renee toTurlen. Maybe she could be cured by the vast blue sky and the towering mountain peaks there. Afterall, who would know?

After putting down the phone, I headed straight to the Moore Residence. Cameron said that Summerwas having a fever again. When I reached there, she was sleeping soundly on her bed.

“She took her breakfast today, and she’s been sleeping since then,” Cameron said as she looked atSummer worriedly.

I placed my hand on her warm forehead and sighed, “Summer was born prematurely and did not getmuch breast milk when she was a toddler, so I guess that’s why she is a sickly child. That time whenshe was at R Province, her health was not as bad as now. Perhaps the poor air quality in K City causesher immune system to become weaker.”

When I said that, Cameron sighed as well, “These few days I’ve been preparing a lot of nutritious foodfor her, but she doesn’t seem to eat much and gets thinner and thinner. Indeed, R province is a place ofnature, so it would be a better place for her. Perhaps both of you should bring her there and let herconvalesce at R province. The most important thing for a child like her is to have a healthy body.”

I nodded in agreement. Recently, I had been thinking about this matter. Now that I did not need to workat the Murphy Corporation anymore, I was actually quite free. But if I brought Summer to R Provincealone, Ashton might want to follow along, and that would interfere with his job. Besides, Armond wasstill a threat to the Fuller Corporation. If Ashton were to make a slip or two, I’m sure Armond wouldpounce on the Fuller Corporation immediately.

“After Ashton takes care of everything here, we will move to R Province for some time,” I replied,looking at Summer’s sunken cheeks. Sasha’s daughter is about her age, too.

Cameron nodded and said, “You should advise Ashton not to spend too much time on work. The two ofyou are not young anymore. I had consulted a doctor about your condition, Scarlett. You’re not infertile.It’s just that you needed time to recover from your previous injury. After so many years have passed, Ibelieve your body can conceive again. Therefore, I do hope that both of you would go to the hospitalsomeday. After all, you two need to have a baby of your own. By the way, a few days ago, I bumpedinto Sally at the hospital. She was with a man about her age, and I saw them going to the obstetrics

and gynaecology department. I was curious, so I asked around and was told that she was planning toconceive.”
