When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 765
“Let’s talk about how we are going resolve this,” Ashton said sharply. He then threw his documents on
the table.
The table fell silent at once, and all eyes were on me.
I was unnerved but spoke slowly and confidently, “The project still has to continue no matter what. As
for the theft, we will conduct an internal investigation. It is too big of a coincidence for both the
surveince and equipment to malfunction at the same time.”
Joseph frowned. “We’ve investigated everybody at the base. They’re all clean.”
“Isn’t that the biggest suspicion?” I protested. “How is it possible for everybody to im an alibi at the
same time?”
“I willmunicate your concerns to the police,” Joseph said after a pause.
“So we’re back to where we started. There’s no way to proceed with our investigation.” Rachelughed
derisively. “We are always-”
A knock on the door of the conference room interrupted Rachel.

Joseph got up and opened the door. Leedon was on the other side.
“Ms. Stovall,” he said in a panic. “Thedy with you earlier is a friend of yours, is she not? Something’s
happened to her. Could youe and have a look?”
Nora?
I rose hurriedly. “Mr. Fuller, Mr. Murphy, please excuse me.”
Armond got to his feet as well. After a mumbled exnation to the rest of them, he came out of the
room with me.
“What happened?” I asked Leedon, who looked like he was in despair.
“Thend adjacent is undergoing some renovation, and thedy fell into one of the holes dug into the
ground when she was on her way to pick some fruits,” Leedon exined as we hastily made our way
out.
“The foundations that they’d dug aren’t that deep,” I asked with confusion. “Why couldn’t you just bring
her up?”
Leedon shook his head. “It’s a little more serious than that. There is no parking lot over here; it would
have been a waste to use a plot ofnd as parking spots. We’ve decided to have an underground
parkingpound instead.”
I shivered. In that case, the foundation dug must be quite deep to amodate the dimensions of a
parkingpound.
“Have you brought her up?” I couldn’t help feeling anxious.
“I’m not sure. When I first came, Ms. Oberick appeared unconscious. She might have been rescued,
but she could be injured.”
The route around the outside of the base was difficult to traverse on foot. I jogged along with Leedon
leading the way to the site where Nora fell.
A crowd gathered around the spot. With some trepidation in my heart, I joined them.
The paramedics were already there and were preparing their equipment to treat Nora, who was being
lifted out at that moment.
She was indeed unconscious. “What happened to her? Where is she hurt?” I demanded.
“It might be her brain, but we can’t be sure without tests from the hospital,” one of the paramedics
replied.
A stretcher was brought over, and Nora was ced on it. They carried her swiftly to the ambnce.
Leedon dispersed the crowd as I nced down to where Nora fell. It wasn’t very deep.
At the bottom were several pears that were squashed. Those would be the pears that Nora had
plucked.
But the question is – what was she doing all the way over here by herself? An ordinary woman would
cringe at the amount of mud around the site and would rather die than soil their footwear. Why did she
come all the way over here for?
Armond followed the party carrying Nora away. Soon after that, Ashton and the rest came toward me.
“What’re you looking at?” Ashton asked me as I stood next to the base.
“Why do you think she ran all the way over here for?”
“You need to be asking her that,” Ashton answered, just as confused as I was.
I shrugged without any further questions. We got into the car and followed the ambnce to the
hospital.
With the chain of idents that had urred, coupled with Nora’s identity, the project was called to a
halt.
Back at A City, the doctors who had examined Nora had revealed that she had hit her head pretty hard
during the fall and would be remainingatose for the foreseeable future.
Armond visited her, while the project in Lavelian Vige was halted. The only thing left for me to do was
to return to the vi for some rest.
Back at the vi, I attempted to key in the same passcode as I always have but was denied ess.
Nonplussed, I gave Armond a call. “Did you change the passcode to the vi?”
He paused for a moment before answering. “Yes, Ashton does not wish for you to continue living with
me. Your things have been relocated to the other vi.”
I hung up and sighed deeply.
It was futile to hide from it. I trudged next door, entered the passcode, which was my birthday, and the
door swung open.
There was a car already in the yard; it seemed as though Ashton had arrived before me. The door to
the living room was wide open.
Joseph was upied with watering the nts in the yard. “Mrs. Fuller, you’re back!” he greeted.
I nodded, feeling somewhat ufortable.
“Is Ashton not back yet?” I asked after a pause. I cast a gaze around the perimeter of the living room
just to be sure.
“Mr. Fuller is in the study upstairs,” Joseph replied. “He is probably going over some documents. Why
don’t you go upstairs and have a look?”
Upstairs in the study, Ashton was hard at work. His ck-rimmed spectacles rested on the bridge of his
aquiline nose as he peered at the documents intently.
