Chapter 314
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
John was angered by my remark. âIâm making a mountain out of a molehill? You tried to kill yourself for
Godâs sake! Are you going to keep saying that itâs nothing until youâre dead?â
Feeling helpless, I kept trying to change the topic. âI gave you the documents yesterday. Is the Moore
family making any move now?â
I could vaguely hear him sigh. âUncle Louis looked into Hector and Savini just like you asked. He found
something and has gone to J City today.â
I nodded. âOh, by the way, Cameron might look like sheâs not involved in this. Since their relationship is
purely professional, itâd make investigations hard, as everything will look normal. Tell Uncle Louis to
look into Hectorâs wife. Heâll probably find out the deal between Hector and Cameron then.â
âGot it. Wait for me at the company. Iâll pick you up in a jiffy.â I had thought that I managed to distract
him, but he just wouldnât let the matter slide. He must be an idiot.
Taking a deep breath, I said calmly, âDonât come. Iâm leaving the company now.â
The elevator was here, so I hung up. It wouldnât take a few minutes for me to leave, so it was
impossible for him to pick me up. Unless he could fly.
I thought I could leave right away, but unfortunately, life had to throw a wrench in my plans. Ashton
came for me when I arrived at the first floor. He was in a black bespoke suit, looking dashingly
handsome with his extraordinary height and attractive looks.
I subconsciously tried to evade him, but before I could, he was already walking over to me. Before I
knew it, he was hugging me without a care in the world. âWhen are you going to stop throwing a
tantrum?â
I pursed my lips, but I didnât resist since everyone was looking at us. âIâm not throwing a tantrum.â I
forced out a smile.
Just when he was dragging me out of the company, a conspicuous sports car skidded to a halt,
attracting everyoneâs attention. The door spun up in style, and out came John. He was wearing
sunglasses, and he radiated a thuggish air.
John took off his sunglasses when he saw me in Ashtonâs arms, and he squinted at Ashton. âMr. Fuller,
canât you see she doesnât want this?â
Ashton threw him a look of disdain before turning to me. âSo this is why you donât want me around,
huh?â
What the hell? This is slander! âNo.â I said calmly, âI have no idea why heâs here.â
Handling Ashton alone was problematic enough. Adding John into the mix would be a recipe for
disaster. I looked at both men before caving in. âFine, Iâll go for the checkup.â Then, I went into Ashtonâs
car.
At the psychology department within Top Three Hospital, only I and the psychologist were in the ward.
The psychologist, Dr. Davidson, was an elderly man.
âDr. Davidson, Mr. Fuller has asked me to give you this.â The nurse came in and gave a document to
Dr. Davidson. Before she left, she glanced at me with a serious look.
After Dr. Davidson was done reading through the document, he adjusted his glasses and looked at me.
âAre you frequently bugged by insomnia, Scarlett?â
I thought about it before answering, âYeah, whenever I lose control of my emotions, Iâll lose sleep. Does
that count?â
âYes. Your emotions got the better of you, but you have to learn how to vent them out. Come to me
whenever possible, and donât bottle your feelings up. Life goes by us fast, and before you know it,
youâre already an old geezer like me.â
Dr. Davidson seemed to be having a casual chat with me, and I nodded in agreement. He wrote
something to me and smiled. âDo whatever you want. Donât hold back too much.â
I took the prescription and was stupefied after seeing it. Most of them were just calming pills. âThis is
the same prescription.â
âYes. Youâve been haunted by your depression for years. At this point, a full recovery is impossible
unless you yourself want to heal. All I can do is tell you to keep moving forward no matter what,â he
said calmly.
I nodded in silence. When I came out of the consultation room, Ashton and John looked at me. âHow
was it?â
I paused for a moment and smiled at their reaction. Then I handed the prescription to Ashton. âHe told
me to make sure I take enough water every day.â
âWhat?â John was mystified. âDr. Davidson said so?â
I nodded and tilted my head. âEven the doctor says Iâm fine. You guys should stop asking me to consult
a doctor.â
John frowned. âBut thatâs justâ¦â He glanced at Ashton, who was looking upset, and he stopped talking.
After a moment, he said, âUncle Louis wants you to come with me to the Stovall residence next week
for dinner and a chat. He wants you to get to know the family.â John looked at me.
I froze for a moment before I nodded. Then, I yawned. âI didnât sleep well last night. So Iâll be going
back now. See you.â
He was going to say something, but seeing that I was sleepy, he stopped in his tracks and nodded.
âSee you. Rest well, Scarlett.â
