When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1715
Chapter 1715 Are You All Right
Secondster, I found my foolish thought ridiculous. As guilt had overwhelmed my heart, I didn’t even
think of fighting back and kept thinking of an excuse to get to my knees.
Perhaps I fell silent for too long, for Reba grew increasingly restless. “Will you get on your knees or
not? I’m running out of patience. I won’t bear responsibility if something happens to Ashton!” she
dered.
Her words acted like a jab of adrenaline that boosted the energy within me before it could fade away.
Nothing was more important than Ashton now. My fists balled up as I made up my mind to kneel before
her.
Watching as I lowered my body slowly, Rebashed out, “You should’ve done this a long while ago,
Scarlett. Even if you kneel here forever, you can’t make it up to what you and Ashton did to me! To be
honest, kneeling before me and begging for my forgiveness isn’t enough. That’s nothingpared to
what you took away from me. Soon, you’ll find out what it feels like to be in hell!”
Suddenly, something tugged at my nerves. I snapped back to my senses afterprehending
Reba’s words. Does she mean she’ll never stop taking revenge even if I get on my knees and offer
an apology? Even if I discard my pride and dignity, Reba will never give in. She wants to see us die
a horrible death. I bet she wants Ashton to remain missing forever so we won’t reunite with each other.
There’s no way she’ll be kind enough to tell me about his whereabouts.
Coming to my senses, I promptly straightened my back and returned her sharp re with an equally
sharp one. No debts were equal. Just because I had a bottom line, I should be submissive to her?
What about my dead child? Who would make it up to me?
“What about the child you killed in my womb? Did he plead for your mercy every night?” I calmed down
and returned coolly. She was nothing but an ordinary person to me now.
Surprise shed across her gaze. Reba had to gulp to steady herself. Trying to cover her guilt, she
said, “Stop intimidating me with that child. If Ashton hadn’t misled me back then and made me stay with
him, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with him and ended up bing your scapegoat!”
“You want someone to die? Go take Ashton’s life, then! He is the one who deserves to die!” Indeed,
she was as unreasonable as usual. I was a fool to think that she’d learn to at least think in someone
else’s shoes. Clearly, I was too na?ve.

Her pronounced guilt feelings were indicated by extremely exaggerated actions. It was useless to
argue with her. Instead of wasting time with Reba, I decided to head back to think about my next
step.
Shutting my eyes, I took a few deep breaths to cool down. I then turned to leave.
Refusing to give up, Reba stepped forward to grab my arm. I didn’t expect that and slipped, falling
onto my back.
Before I lose my bnce, a pair of arms held my waist. My subconscious mind told me my hero should
be Ashton, for I missed him dearly. However, after a brief dizzy spell, a pair of hypocritical eyes
underneath sses appeared in my line of sight.
Nathaniel’s lips curled up into a smirk. “Are you all right?”
Instinctively, I stood up and moved aside to keep a distance between us.
The smile on Nathaniel’s lips broadened. He looked like a sly fox who had abducted its prey but kept it
alive just for the thrills.
After regaining myposure, I looked up to see an expressionless Ashton standing beside him.
They came at the same time, but it was Nathaniel who rescued me. Is he trying to avoid suspicion or
hiding it from everyone?
Without waiting for my question, Nathaniel told me, “As you wish, I’ve brought him back. Are you
satisfied now?”
With the pleasant smile hanging on his lips, he looked every inch the harmless man. His ck-framed
sses seemed like a two-way mirror. He might look sincere and intelligent on the outside, but only
those who had faced him off would know how horribly vicious and ambitious he was.
