Chapter 187


    Chapter 187 We Will Save Alyssa


    Thinking about her current appearance, wearing only a patient’s gown, Deborah might be displeased


    when she sees it.


    Ashton hurriedly went back, changed his clothes, put on his coat, and changed his shoes before


    rushing out of the


    sickroom.


    As I walked outside, my vision started to darken a bit.


    He leaned against the wall for a moment, feeling better, and then continued to walk outside.


    The door opened, and both Reba and Hector were waiting outside.


    Upon seeing Ashton suddenly emerge from the bed, everyone was taken aback


    Hector immediately stepped forward, “Ashton, if you need anything, just ring the bell. Why did you get


    out of bed yourself? You’re not supposed to=”


    Before the speaker could finish, Ashton interrupted, “I have something to take care of, I’ll be back


    After he finished speaking, he didn’t care about the reactions of the people outside and walked straight


    towards the


    end of the corridor.


    Reba hurriedly caught up and stopped him.


    “The doctor said you shouldn’t even be getting out of bed right now. Where do you think you’re going?”


    Ashton’s path was blocked, and the anxious expression on his face couldn’t be hidden.


    His icy, impatient gaze fell on Reba. “Move aside, and don’t make me say it again.”


    Reba stood in front of him, as still and unmoving as a wall.


    “No way, you can’t leave the hospital now. What, do you still want to go find Deborah and her


    daughter? They


    definitely don’t want to see you… Ah!”


    Before she could finish speaking, Ashton reached out, grabbed her arm, and flung her to the side.


    Caught off guard, Reba stumbled backward several steps, her back colliding with the nearby wall.


    She was furious and yelled, “Ashton, are you even a man?”


    No one responded to her, as Ashton had already walked far away.


    Hector, leaning on his cane, chased after him furiously, “Stop, you scoundrel!”


    Many people gathered around to watch, causing chaos in the corridor.


    Ashton walked quickly, somewhat unsteadily, and hurried straight into the elevator to leave.


    By the time Reba and Hector rushed downstairs, there was no trace of him to be found.


    Ashton drove straight to the ce Deborah had told him about.


    He had just left the emergency room and hadn’t eaten anything, feeling a bit weak.


    As he drove out of the underground parking garage and onto the street, the evening streetlights and


    neon signs shone into his eyes, making him feel slightly dizzy.


    Richmond was covered in snow, and the streets had already been cleared. On both sides of the


    streets, thickyers of snow were piled up.


    Chapter 18 Will Save Alyssa


    His driving was a bit unsteady, and it seemed like someone was honking behind him.


    He didn’t pay attention and continued driving forward when suddenly, he remembered that day from


    over three years

    ago.


    It seems to be an evening like this, with such a dimly lit night, just like in a heavy snowfall.


    Deborah knelt outside the garden, pleading, “Ashton, please save our daughter.”


    Ashton’s consciousness began to feel somewhat hazy, as if he had truly returned to that day, that very


    moment.


    He drove the car and agreed, “Alright, let’s save Alyssa.”


    Debby, let’s go save Alyssa.


    Our family of three has such a long time ahead of us, with so many years toe.


    Year after year, time goes by….


    Oh, he remembered it wrong.


    There’s no more time left for him; he’s been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and he’s going to die.


    And as for his Debby and Alyssa, they had given up on himpletely, never wanting him again.


    Ashton drove the car, beads of nervous sweat forming on his forehead.


    Indeed, Deborah gave up on him a long time ago.


    So why does she still want to see him, and what does she want to talk to him about?


    My legs felt weak, and my entire body was going limp.


    Ashton had no idea how long he had been driving, nor when he had finally arrived at his destination.


    The car came to a stop in the za outside Southern Opulence Mall. He immediately got out and


    walked towards the


    main entrance.


    I wonder if Deborah has arrived yet; she definitely doesn’t like waiting for him too long.


    Perhapster he should exin that due to the snowy weather, the roads were slippery, causing some


    traffic congestion, and it was impossible to drive too fast.


    He should havee over a bit sooner, making her wait for so long.


    He was on tenterhooks, his heart in his throat.


    Finally, at the main entrance, there weren’t many people going in and out of the shopping mall on this


    snowy evening.


    Ashton looked around carefully, but he couldn’t see any sign of Deborah.


    Has he not arrived yet, or did he leave because he waited too long?


    He waited at the door for a while longer, but still didn’t see Deborahing. Finally, he took out his


    phone from his pocket, intending to ask her about it.


    There’s nothing in the pocket.


    He suddenly remembered that he had left the hospital room in such a hurry, and all his clothes had


    been changed.


    He identally left his phone in the hospital room, forgetting to take it with him.

    **


    Ashton could only continue waiting. After more than half an hour, he still hadn’t seen Deborah at all. He


    couldn’t help but wonder if he had experienced hallucinations while in the hospital room. Deborah


    probably didn’t send him a message; why would she send him something like that? His heart kept


    sinking, and eventually, he felt there was no need to keep waiting any longer. As I nned to leave, I


    walked out of the shopping mall and headed towards my car. He suddenly wondered, could it be that


    he had remembered the location incorrectly?


    Perhaps, she is waiting for him at another spot in this mall.


    He paced back and forth near the entrance, walking out and thening back in.


    The mall security guard had been watching him for quite a while, and finally couldn’t help but walk over


    and ask, “Sir, do you need any assistance?”


    As Ashton was about to say “no need,” he suddenly remembered something.


    “Excuse me, I’m waiting for someone. Could I please borrow your phone to make a call?”


    The security guard noticed his extraordinary attire and demeanor, and without much suspicion, directly


    handed him


    his cell phone.


    Ashton expressed his gratitude, took the phone, swiftly entered Deborah’s number, and made the call.


    It took a moment for the call to be answered on the other end. The instant it connected, Ashton’s heart


    skipped a beat.


    From over there, it wasn’t Deborah’s voice that came through, but rather Joseph’s.


    “Hello, who is this?”


    Ashton’s hand holding the phone stiffened, and soon after, his entire face froze as well.


    The security guard hadn’t noticed anything unusual yet when he heard a man’s voiceing from the


    phone.


    The security guard assumed that Ashton was waiting for a man, perhaps a friend or a business


    partner.


    Seeing Ashton not speaking, the security guard immediately helped to reply. “Hello, the friend you are


    meeting is waiting for you at the entrance of Southern Opulence Mall. Pleasee over here.”
