When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1579


    Just as I expected, based on Audrey’s calm expression, she had no idea about what would be in store


    for the couple that had just been taken away.


    As a mother, I was happy to a certain extent. However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was


    wrong at the sight of my child being so at peace and unruffled.


    Ashton couldn’t be bothered by what had happened either. After the despicable couple had been


    brought away, he began coddling his dear daughter. “Can you forgive me now? Daddy just punished


    the bad guys that hurt Shaun.”


    “Hmm…” Audrey mped her tiny mouth shut as her bright eyes started looking around mischievously.


    Clearly, she was up to no good once again.


    Ashton straightened up and frowned slightly. “Do you still have to think about it?”


    “Yep!” Audrey yelled out happily. She was obviously in a much better mood now. With a bright smile,


    she held onto her father’s fingertips with her own small hands as she whined, “Daddy, let’s take Shaun


    home with us. We can’t just leave him here alone! Pretty please?”


    The smile on Ashton’s face dissipated slowly at the sound of Audrey’s request. He nced over at me


    helplessly before looking at the child on the hospital bed. Then, he stood up and walked toward him


    with Audrey in tow, staring down at him from above.


    “Why didn’t you call for help?” Ashton asked.


    Shaun was silent for a little while before answering hesitatingly, “The people who left me in the past


    never showed up again.”


    It was more than heartbreaking to hear such wordsing out of a six-year-old child’s mouth. He was


    so young, and yet he already knew how fickle rtionships could be.


    Behind every nonchnt expressionyyers uponyers of pain and bitterness.


    No matter how suspicious he had been in the past, I knew this came straight from Shaun’s heart. It was


    probably because I could resonate with him, having been left behind myself.


    I suddenly found myself warming up to Audrey’s suggestion.


    After those words left his mouth, the remaining life in him seemed to drain out of his body and left him


    even weaker than when we first found him. He now seemed like a sack of mere skin and bones. I knew


    that any constion would pale inparison to the pain that he was feeling on the inside. After all,


    we had no idea what he had experienced. All we could do was sit there quietly and let him know we


    were there for him.

    Ashton finally broke the silence after a long time. “From now on, you will be part of the Fuller family.


    Mrs. Fuller will be your mother, and our children will be your siblings. Are you willing to ept that?”


    Shaun jerked his head up violently. His eyes were shining with indescribable emotions, but most


    obviously, he was in disbelief.


    Before waiting for his reply, Ashton let go of Audrey and walked toward me, slinging an arm around my


    shoulder. “Still, I’m not the boss of the house. If you want to stay, you’ll have to convince Mrs. Fuller


    over here,” he said lightheartedly.


    “You!”


    He’s clearly ying good cop, bad cop! If I were to say no, that would obviously make me the bad cop.


    “Mommy, please say yes! Please, pretty please!”


    Before I could say anything else, Audrey ran over and started shaking my arm as she pleaded with me.


    It wasn’t too big of a hassle for us to have a new member joining the family, and I had no reason to say


    no. Still, I kept feeling like Ashton had just yed a trick on me and couldn’t put my words together for


    a long time.


    Suddenly, Shaun swung aside the nket and stood up on shaky legs as he stared at me in


    determination. “Mrs. Fuller, I want to live. I want to keep living on. Since you were the ones who saved


    my life, I want to repay both you and Mr. Fuller. Please take me in! I will not disappoint either one of


    you, and I promise I won’t be a burden. Please, I’m begging you!”


    As he spoke, he lowered his torso into a deep bow. It was a simple bow, but it was hard to say no to his


    sincerity.


    All he wanted was to keep living, and who was I to say no to giving him a chance to grow up without


    trouble?


    “Yes to everything except the part about you being a bother,” I said. “If we’re too courteous with each


    other, we won’t really be a family now, will we?”


    After deciding to take Shaun in, we checked him out of the hospital that very night and brought him


    home.
