When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 596
Ashton nodded. “Are you hungry?”
I suddenly felt as though he was the one taking care of me instead of the other way round.
I parroted his question back to him. “Are you hungry?”
Cameron stirred in her sleep and woke up. She stared at Ashton and I for a few seconds before looking
at the time on her phone.
Seeing that it was already past noon, she got up and poured me a ss of water. “Here, drink
something. Your father went home to make lunch. He should be back any minute.”
I froze for a moment before taking the ss of water from her. I turned to Ashton and asked, “How are
you feeling? Do you feel any better?”
He nodded. “It doesn’t hurt as much anymore.”
Cameron got up and headed to the toilet. When she came back out, she wiped her hands on a paper
towel and asked, “What do the both of you fancy for lunch?”
Ashton shook his head, expressing his indifference. He turned to me and asked, “Do you have anything
you want to eat?”
I thought for a while before shrugging. “Anything’s fine!”
Off the top of my head, I couldn’t think of anything I really wanted to eat.
Cameron picked up her bag and left the room. My phone, which I had neglected sinceing into the
hospital, rang loudly all of a sudden. Emery was calling me.
She sounded rather sharp over the phone. “How are you doing? Are you feeling alright? Which hospital
did they send you to?”
Faced with her barrage of questions, I felt rather confused. After a short pause, I replied, “I’m fine. I’m
at a hospital in W City right now. I’ll only make my way back to K City in a few days.”
Emery snorted loudly before saying, “I know you’re in W City. I was asking which hospital you’re in.”
“I’m in Medwin Hospital. Is there something wrong?”
“I’ll being to look for you in a short while. Have you eaten yet?”
I felt rather stunned. Shooting a nce out of the window, I stammered, “When did you arrive in W
City?”
“I just got off the ne, as a matter of fact. Let’s talk moreter. Send me the hospital address via text,
won’t you? I’ll be there very soon.” She hung up the phone immediately.
Ashton looked at me and smiled. “Was that Emery?”
I nodded and put my phone away. “She’s heavily pregnant now. I don’t think we should let her run
around the city in her condition—it won’t be safe for her.”
Agreeing with me, he nodded. “Go and pick her up, then. Be careful.”
I nodded and called the nurse over to change his bandages. With that, I turned and left the hospital.
Emery insisted that she would be taking a cab to the hospital and told me not to go and pick her up.
However, I still felt a little worried for her. I called a cab for her and personally told the driver where to
drop her off, before making arrangements for a room at our hotel.
Thankfully, the hospital wasn’t far from the airport. Emery arrived half an hourter and stowed her
luggage away at the hotel first.
Although she was wearing maternity clothes that were loose and drab, it was quite obvious that her
stomach had swollen rmingly.
As she put her clothes away in the drawers, she turned to me and asked, “It’s going to be new year’s
eve soon, and it has started to snow heavily in K City. Are the both of you going to celebrate the new
year in W City?”
I sighed gently. “We haven’t actually decided yet. Ashton is heavily injured, so he might have to stay
here and recuperate for some time.”
Emery finished putting her clothes away and shot me a side nce, looking rather solemn. “The Crest
family has been throwing their weight around for years. It’s time somebody put them in their ce.”
“The Crest family didn’t hire a man to do it—it was Jared Crest himself. He never really got over the
incident with the Fullers’ youngest daughter, and Macy leaving him proved to be thest straw for him.
He was very mentally unstable.”
Emery sat down on the sofa and sighed heavily. “Gosh, that guy is a mess. What else does he have to
live for? Most grudges are best left in the past or resolved—otherwise, you start going crazy and
harming everyone around you.”

I bowed my head and mulled over her words. Life was full of twists and turns. How could Emery be so
sure in her judgment that Jared’s actions were wrong?
Seeing me remain silent, she asked, “What did the Crest family say about this matter?”
I shook my head despondently. “I’m not sure, actually. Ashton seems to have no intention of
investigating the situation further. Instead, he passed on the case to the police—Jared will probably be
rotting in prison for the next few years.”
Emery frowned and said rather sadly, “If I remember correctly, he should be about thirty-five or six now.
He’ll be in his forties by the time he’s released from prison. Since he’s a member of the Crest family,
there will be a great deal of talk about him.”
I pressed my lips together tightly, unsure of how to reply.
We chatted for a while longer. Since it was ratherte at night, I thought Emery might want to rest in her
hotel room first. However, she insisted on following me back to the hospital to take a look at Ashton.
Truthfully, I wasn’t so sure about leaving her alone in the hotel. I agreed to her request immediately.
We arrived in the hospital, where Zachary and Cameron had alreadyid out dinner for us. It was still
the same old soup, but they had made other dishes as well.
Seeing Emery and me, Zachary turned to Emery and scolded, “Why are you running around the city
when you’re so heavily pregnant? Are you trying to make all of us worried about you?”
In a rather mischievous tone, Emery replied, “I’m only a few months into my pregnancy! I can still walk
around outside if I feel like it, you know. When my stomach gets too big, I’ll make sure to sit quietly at
home and mind my own business.”
Zachary shot her a look and didn’t say anything else.
Cameronid out the tes and looked at me. “Come and sit down. Let’s have dinner first—we can talk
about other matterster.”
Zachary pursed his lips. He turned to Emery again—instead of yelling at her, he told her to finish her
food and return to the hotel immediately.
A few momentster, Hunter arrived, iming that he was too worried to let her run wild around the city
by herself.
The two of them seemed to be fighting. Like a couple who was having a lover’s quarrel, they made
snide remarks to each other throughout dinner and left quickly.
Cameron and Zachary refused to let me watch over Ashton by myself anymore and insisted on staying
behind with me.
Left with no other choice, I agreed reluctantly. They could do whatever they pleased.
Thankfully, the hospital room wasrge enough, and there were even a few sofas in addition to the
bed. However, with so many people around, I didn’t feel asfortable as I would be at home.
