Chapter 1210
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
I had been really confident and even sneered at Ezra when he brought up Ashton in our conversation
earlier, which showcased my position and status in the Stovall family. Ezra knew without a doubt that
they would go after him should anything happen to me, and that would be disastrous for his future. On
top of that, I had the Moore family on my side as well, so it was unlikely that Ezra would make a move
on me any time soon.
However, I couldnât help but worry for Ashton as the Stovall family and the Moore family wouldnât have
a justifiable reason to back him up if anything happened to him.
âAshton, are you sure about this?â I pursed my lips as I tried to suppress my feelings of unease.
Heâs one man going against a pack of wolves! Thereâs no way it isnât dangerous!
Ashton let out a huge sigh and said after a brief pause, âTrust me, okay? Iâll come to pick you and
Summer up as soon as itâs over.â
He then hung up the phone, and I had John accompany me to the hospital with his bodyguards.
Despite knowing that Ezra wouldnât do anything rash at the moment, I didnât want to put Summerâs
safety at risk again.
Weâll find out if Jackson would be able to wake up today, so I have to be present at the hospital!
I saw Nickâs car when I arrived at the entrance of the hospital. He had just gotten out of his car and
seemed to be lost in thought as he stared blankly at the building.
âNick! You came!â I called out to him while making my way over with Johnâs help.
Nick shot me an indifferent look and said coldly, âYeah, after getting a call from Lydia. Why didnât you
tell me sooner?â
John glanced at both of us before putting two and two together. âOh, so youâre that other guy in the
picture? Man, you sure have a messy relationship!â
I pinched John on the arm and motioned at him to shut up before turning towards Nick. âYouâre the
head of the Harrisons now. I figured you wouldnât come for the sake of your company and family.â
âJackson sure as hell didnât think about all that when he shielded you from that knife!â Nick snapped
back at me sarcastically.
John grabbed him by the collar before I could even respond and lifted him off the ground. âHey! You
apologize to Scarlett right this instant!â
Nick simply clenched his teeth in silence, and the two of them stared at each other, both refusing to
back down.
I tried tugging at his sleeve but to no avail. Having no other options, I took a step back and acted like I
was in great pain by clutching my tummy while bending over. âUgh⦠It hurts⦠Help me, Johnâ¦â
John released his grip on Nick the moment he heard that and immediately ran over to hold me steady.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you all right? Try to relax, okay? Weâre at a hospital, so donât you worry! Iâll get you
a doctor right away!â he asked anxiously while shielding my tummy with his free hand.
Nick had fixed his shirt and began walking up the stairs at the hospitalâs entrance, but John was
panicking so much that he didnât even notice that. âHurry up, Nick! Get a doctor!â
He turned around when he heard no response, only to see Nick disappearing into the distance without
even looking back. âDamn you, Nick! I canât believe youâd be so heartless to Letty after all she did for
you!â he shouted angrily in disbelief.
Seeing as Nick had already went inside, I decided to drop the act and stood up straight while tugging
on his arm. âThatâs enough, John. Iâm fine now.â
âHmm?â Realizing that he had been tricked, John grabbed me by the shoulder and asked, âYou know
what? I just noticed something⦠Youâre always taking the other personâs side, no matter who I get into
a fight with! Why would you betray me like that?â
I couldnât help but let out a chuckle in response. I feel kind of bad for John at times, but it canât be
helped⦠Heâs too snarky and hot-tempered for his own good! Until he learns to control himself a little
more, heâll just have to bear with it!
âI was just worried about your safety, John! I donât want you getting hurt, you know?â I said while
wrapping an arm around his and dragging him towards the hospital.
