Chapter 114 Crazy Andrew


    Ashley didn''t give the coat back to Ellie in the end. After all, she had started trembling now due to the


    cold.


    Although it was summer, the temperature here varied greatly in a day. Ashley, however, forgot about


    that when she left for L City in the afternoon. It was indeed cold for her especially since she only wore a


    light T-shirt.


    After about 10 minutes, the bus that the girls had been waiting for finally arrived. Only a few people


    were waiting for the bus, so there were many empty seats to choose from. Ashley and Ellie picked the


    two seats by the window.


    "Ellie, what happened? Normally you would havee back by now. What took you so long this time?"


    Ashley asked.


    Ellie told her the truth. "Well, my grandpa fell and broke his ankle a few days ago. And you know about


    his heart disease. How could I leave him alone in the hospital? I needed to stay here to look after my


    grandpa. That''s why I have stayed for a few more days than I usually did."


    "But why didn''t you answer my calls? Do you know how worried I was about you because you didn''t


    return my calls?"


    "Come on! Do you know how busy I am? I need to take care of my grandpa in the hospital and my


    grandma at home. I have little time to check my phone. Plus, I usually keep my phone at home. I was in


    the hospital when you called me.


    But why did you rush here all of a sudden? What about our shop? Did you take care of everything?"


    Ashley nodded and answered, "Of course I did." She already took care of everything when she left.


    "Oh no!" Ashley shrieked all of a sudden.


    Her cry made all the other passengers turn and look at them.


    Ellie turned and was greeted with a distressed look on Ashley''s face. "What''s wrong?" she asked.


    Ashley looked at her best friend for a few seconds, and then shook her head. She decided not to tell


    Ellie that she was married, because it didn''t feel like it was the right time.


    Ashley was perturbed.


    She suddenly remembered that she had not told Andrew that she went to L City. She was worried that


    Andrew might be angry at her even though the ice hadn''t broken yet after the fight between them.


    But sheforted herself saying it was impossible that Andrew would care about her whereabouts.


    After all, they''d had a big fightst time.


    ''He must be thinking how to get rid of me now. That must be it! He doesn''t want to see me at all, ''


    Ashley told herself.


    She gradually convinced herself, but still felt a little uneasy somehow.


    "Ellie, shall we go to the hospital or head home now?" Ashley asked.


    "Let''s go to the hospital first. I want to see my grandpa. I''m still worried about him.


    Ashley, I also want to discuss something with you," Ellie said awkwardly.


    "What?" Ashley asked. Sensing Ellie''s hesitation, she urged, "Come on, Ellie! We are best friends. You


    can just tell me," Ashley stated with a bright smile.

    "I want to bring my grandparents to J City. They need my care at their age. If I hadn''t called them, I


    would have never known about his injury. There was a slip of tongue when I spoke to them on the


    phone; that''s how I found out that my grandpa fell and broke his ankle.


    The doctor told me that I should take my grandpa to J City. The hospitals in J City are better than the


    ones here. So I want to take both of them to J City, and let them live with us," Ellie exined looking


    depressed.


    After all, Brown and Laura were the only family she had in the world. It was her grandparents who had


    raised Ellie. And now, she wanted to take care of them well. Especially, now that her grandpa was


    unwell.


    "That''s great! They can live with us in J City. We don''t need to go to office now. Both of us have the


    time to look after them. Honestly, I miss them. I haven''t seen them in such a long time." Ashley agreed


    to Ellie''s n one hundred percent without even the slightest hesitation.


    She had moved out of the apartment, so Brown and Laura could live in her room when they arrived in J


    City. Ashley and Ellie could share her room.


    Ashley sneaked a look at Ellie, wondering how she would tell her that she was married.


    This question burned inside Ashley.


    Meanwhile, in J City


    Ashley believed that her absence wouldn''t mean anything to Andrew. After all, they hadn''t talked to


    each other in so long. Plus, they were not in love.


    But Ashley didn''t know Andrew almost lost his mind when he didn''t see Ashley at home.


    Usually, he woulde home to find her watching TV or ying on her phone on the sofa. Or, she


    would be in the kitchen helping ire.


    But today, he didn''t see her when he came home.


    He could not find Ashley in the kitchen, living room or their room.


    It was like Ashley had never lived in this house.


    ''Did she leave? Is it because she can''t stand me anymore? She can''t stand my selfishness anymore?


    Is it because she hates me? She must be sick of me, right?''


    Countless thoughts shed in Andrew''s mind instantly. Hurt, anger and resentment filled Andrew''s


    hollow chest.


    Just one thought filled his mind: Ashley had left him.


    "Mr. Lu, you''re back! Where is Miss Mu? Didn''t shee back with you?" ire came out of the


    kitchen and asked Andrew, seeing him home alone.


    After having a serious conversation with Ashley this morning, ire had thought that she would take


    her advice. She assumed that Ashley broke the ice and made it up with Andrew.


    However, she saw Andrewe back home without her.


    ire''s words crushed hisst shred of hope.


    ''So she did leave this time? She has decided to leave me.''


    Ignoring ire''s question, he rushed out at once.


    They were married now and no matter what happened, it was an undisputed fact that she was his wife.


    Andrew got into his car and sped off. En route he called Johnny, "Find out where she is now!"


    Johnny knew that his ns for the evening were ruined when he got Andrew''s order on the phone.


    Originally, Johnny had nned to rx after work, but this sudden turn of events meant that it was no


    longer possible.


    When Andrew hung up, Johnny suddenly realized something strange.


    Although Andrew''s voice was cold as usual, Johnny could sense something different in his tone this


    time.


    Andrew reached the neighborhood where Ashley was living before moving in with him. When he


    arrived at her apartment, he began knocking urgently on the door, and yelling her name.


    "Ashley! Ashley! Open the door!"


    The neighbors were woken up by the racket he created. When they came out and saw Andrew


    pounding on the door like a lunatic, a womanined, "Stop that! Neither of them is at home."


    Andrew stopped when he heard her voice. He turned to her and asked, "Have you seen a woman,


    around 20 years old,e back today?"


    When she saw Andrew''s face, she was utterly infatuated with him. ''Oh my! What a cute guy!'' she


    gushed to herself.


    But in the next instant she got scared of his stern expression. She didn''t dare to even look at him while


    replying, "No. Nobody came back today."
