When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1201
Letting out a sigh, Ashton wrapped his arm around me. “There’s a long and painful process before
justice is served. This is the same case for me, let alone themon folks. How many of them do you
think can survive the ordeals? Compared to offending the Ziegler family and bringing troubles on
themselves, they see hiding away and living a stable life as a blessing.”
I said nothing as despondency crept in. In other words, John went to all the trouble to dig up dirt on the
Ziegler family only to end up embarrassing them to a small degree.
As the intensive care unit was not open to visitors all the time, we could only stand outside and see
Jackson through the window.
Lying on the bed, Jackson was covered in bandages. Only the venttor could prove that he was still
alive.
He could still scold me the day before, but he could not even open his eyes at this moment. The
thought brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. Not daring to cry, I covered my mouth and
nose for fear of disturbing Jackson.
Ashton patted me on the shoulder tofort me. “I’ve arranged for some people to renovate Jackson’s
clinic and to appease the patients who caused troubles. After he wakes up, he can start over. This is an
unfortunate ident. Since you’ve had depression before and are now pregnant, you can’t get too sad,
or you may easily lose control of your emotions. How can you take care of your kids then?”
Hearing this, I could onlypose myself and try not to dwell in the frustration.
However, there was still a pressing matter to be dealt with. While keeping my eyes on Jackson, I asked
Ashton in a hushed voice, “Are you going to attend the dinner tonight?”
“Yes,” Ashton replied as he put more weight on my shoulder. “You’ll use the identity as Mrs. Fuller for
thest time to put on an act with me.”

If we wanted the divorce agreement to be convincingter on, we did need to show some signs of
discord prior to our so-called divorce. Hence, I responded in silent agreement.
After standing outside the ICU for one hour, Ashton got Ste toe over and asked her to give him a
first-hand report on everything concerning Jackson. Then, he left with me as my legs were severely
swollen due to the pregnancy.
After walking out of the elevator, we bumped into Lydia, who came with her kid. She merely took a
nce at us and entered the elevator without even sparing us another nce.
The wait was torment. I had been waiting for the news of Jackson getting better the entire day, but I
only received a text from Ste that read The doctor said that Mr. Kane still needs to be under
observation.
Worried, I was out of spirits when we left for the dinner. As Ashton helped me walk outside, my mind
was preupied, so I was stunned for a second when I saw John.
“Why are you here?” Judging from his formal attire, he seemed to be going with us.
“Why can’t I be here?” John did an annoying shimmy and asserted proudly, “After all, I’m the only one
who’s embarrassed the Ziegler family big time in the past ten years. Besides, I’m representing Uncle
Louis and the Stovall family today. Alright. Let’s get in the car.”
Then, he went up to me and helped me to get in the car of the Stovall family, whereas Ashton got in the
Fullers’ car that was parked behind us.
We soon departed.
ncing at the car behind me from the rearview mirror, I tilted my head and asked John, “What are the
two of you up to?”
I was there when Cameron and Zachary came the day before, but I did not hear them say that Ezra
invited the Stovall family. Moreover, John had sent the inte into a frenzy with Mitchell’s scandals in
the morning and had be a thorn in the side of the Ziegler family. His presence at the dinner would
only irk them.
Looking at me, John shed me a fake grin. “Nothing. I just want to meet the Ziegler family, so Ashton
brings me along. That’s it.”
The expression on his face sent chills down my spine. Knowing that I could not find out the truth from
him, I stopped pressing him for an answer.
