When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1720

That day, we waited patiently for Wilson to wake up at the hospital. After discussing all the compensation details with him, John sent me back home.

As he stopped his car at the entrance of the villa, there was a beam of warm light coming from inside the door.

I was reluctant to get out of the car as I could imagine what would happen next. Audrey would surely come running to hug and say she missed me. And then, she would routinely ask about Summer and Ashton’s whereabouts.

I feared my tears might break loose in front of them.

Noticing my concerns, John patted on my shoulder gently. “Keep yourself together. It would be a difficult battle from now on. I’ll fetch Emma and Drew here. It’s better if the whole family sticks together.”

Not only was he my brother, but he was also Emma’s husband and Drew’s father. The longer he stayed with me, the higher risk he was putting his wife and his kid in.

I knew I should not be so selfish. Thus, I smiled while opening the car door.

Before I walked in, John rolled down the car window and comforted me, “I’ll be back here in around an hour. Please make supper or something if you can’t sleep.”

My lips curled into a broader smile as I nodded firmly. “Okay.”

He turned his car around and drove off from the front yard of the villa. At that instant, I felt so fortunate to have a brother who loved me so much.

No matter how hopeless life might seem, I felt like I could keep moving on with him by my side.

Humans are indeed amazing creatures. No matter how much suffering one goes through physically, one could still feel happy as long as their spirit is not crushed.

I wrapped my coat around my body tighter and took a deep breath. After casting a last glance atJohn’s disappearing car, I turned around to enter the house.

A second after that, a loud crash pierced through the air. I widened my eyes in startle and started running out of the house.

John, please be safe! If anything happens to you…

His lips curled into an evil smile as he spoke with an eerie tone. “Madam, please look closely.”

Thump!

“No!”

I shouted desperately, but the man did not stop beating John’s hand. As the steel pipe in his hand started covering in blood, he got even more excited. He started beating John harder and harder.

John regained his consciousness due to the arising pain, and he moaned on the floor in agony. “Ahh…”

Upon seeing that, the other men surrounded him and got hold of his limbs, making him unable to move an inch.

I felt as though a thousand needles were stabbing through my heart. “Please. I’m begging you. Please don’t hurt him! Help! Is someone there?”
