Chapter 33 Accompany Patiently

Because she couldn't get pregnant, the Jake family had been suppressing the wedding. Besides, she was a mistress. Everyone knew that, so she became a laughing stock all of a sudden. She was already very angry.

"You bitch! How dare you..."

Jake rushed down and pinched her neck to vent his anger. "Bitch! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

Jake's mother and Jessie were coming back. They were shocked to see the scene.

"What are you doing?"

Jake's mother rushed over, slapped Kate's face, and pulled them away.

"Son, are you hurt?"

Kate covered her neck with her hands. She was almost strangled to death by Jake just now. The victim was her, but this old bitch cared about this bastard!

Her eyes were red. She had been living a hard life since she married into the Jake family. It was all the child's fault!

"I'm fine. I'm tired. I'll go upstairs first."

Jake lowered his head and walked up. He turned back and gave Kate a warning look.

If you dare to say anything, I will kill you!

Kate was startled. After all, they were still in the Jake family, so she had to swallow her anger first.

Jake's mother didn't forgive her and was about to slap Kate again. But her wrist was grabbed by Kate. She twisted it and squeaked. Jake's mother winced in pain.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

"Mom!" Jessie rushed to save her mother and scolded Kate, "You bitch! How dare you hit my mother?"

The corners of Kate's mouth twitched and she sneered. Her hairstyle was almost a mess because of this madman. She smoothed her hair and glared at Jessie.

"I can not only hit her but also you. Do you want to have a try?"

"How dare you!"

Jessie used to be domineering in front of Ashley. She spoke in a careless way.

Kate walked two steps forward and looked down at her viciously.

"Do you think I'm the doormat like Ashley? Stop dreaming. If you want me to be wronged, I'll let your family die with me. Besides, don't mention the baby in the future. It's not that I can't give birth to it, but..."

"But what?"

When she heard what she was most concerned about, she endured the pain and asked.

Kate calmly glanced at the closed door upstairs and sneered, "If you want to know, go and ask your son. I'll see if he will tell you. I'm going out to play and don't have time to talk to you. Get out of the way!"

Startled by her arrogance, Jake's mother and Jessie stood still, feeling a burning pain on their faces.

In the hospital, Lucas had been here for days. But ever since Ashley woke up, she had been silent, no matter how he teased her.

She had changed from a lively girl to a dead man. She ate mechanically as if she just wanted to hang her life.

"Ashley, the weather is good today. Let me take you to the garden, okay?"

He asked patiently. Ashley just stared out of the window, ignoring the dazzling sunlight.

"Let me help you."

He took it as her acquiescence. But when he reached out his hand, she took a step back, not allowing him to touch her at all

He tightened his fingers. It was the first time that he had been so weak.

Martin was waiting outside. Vicky held a basket of fruits and a bunch of flowers in her arms. She greeted him at the door of the ward.

"How is Mrs. Ashley? Is she better?"

He turned around, shook his head, and sighed, "She has not changed at all."

Vicky pursed her lips and knocked on the door, "Mr. Lucas, Mrs. Ashley."

Lucas nodded and let her in. She put the flowers and fruit basket in place and tried to talk to Ashley.

"Mrs. Ashley, how are you feeling today?"

No answer.

Lucas stood up and said, "You can talk to her. She doesn't want to see me. I'm going out to buy something. You can talk to her whatever you want as long as she speaks."

"Let me have a try."

Vicky had no choice but to agree. In her heart, Ashley was a strong woman. She didn't collapse after being wronged so much in the Jake family. She didn't collapse after being cheated on by her good friend and husband, and she didn't collapse even if she just left the Jake family without anything. She believed that she could get out this time.

There were only the two of them in the room. When Lucas was there, Vicky couldn't let it go. Now she could finally tell her what she wanted to say.

"Mrs. Ashley, I have been running the company well these days when you were in hospital in order not to let you down. Fortunately, the company was not destroyed by me. Look, this is the company's financial report for this quarter."

She took out the document from her bag, opened it, and handed it over. She just glanced at it, without any expression on her face, and still did not speak.

"Mrs. Ashley... Please don't do that. I don't know you anymore." Vicky touched her hand with pity. There were many holes in it because she didn't cooperate with the injection.

But no one knew that every time the injection took Ashley back to that horrible night. The baby was gone that day.

"Mrs. Ashley, Mr. Lucas, and everyone are worried about you. He stays here day and night to take care of you, and he needs to deal with the company's affairs. No matter how powerful he is, he has no avatar. And our company also needs you to get back to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible. You must get better soon."

What about work?

Vicky tried to tell Ashley something about work, but there were still no waves.

When she walked out of the room, she realized how helpless Lucas had been these days. She shook her head apologetically at him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lucas. I can't do that."

Lucas sighed and looked at her back.

"You have done a good job. Thank you. If you have any difficulties in the company's affairs, you can go to Martin. He will help you."

"Yes, you don't have to be afraid of trouble. Mrs. Ashley's business is Mr. Lucas's business, and Mr. Lucas's is mine. Just tell me."

"Thank you, Mr. Lucas. Thank you, Martin," Said Vicky with a smile.

He didn't enter the ward after he saw Ashley lying back to the quilt.

The doctor came over and handed him the medical record. "Mr. Lucas, your wife has recovered, and the rest is the psychological problem. We can't solve this problem. If you are worried, why don't you transfer her to another department?"

Although his words were euphemistic, Lucas understood what he meant and immediately refused.

"She's not sick. I'll take her back to recuperate."

"Yes, we also hope that Mrs. Lucas can recover as soon as possible." The doctor said awkwardly.

The Johnson family only came to the hospital once on the night of the childbirth and once during the hospitalization, and then disappeared. Lucas felt sad and indignant for Ashley, and at the same time, he was more determined to be good to her.

On the day she was discharged from the hospital, he carefully took care of her. The sun was shining on her body. He seemed to see her smile, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Ashley, let's go home."

She didn't answer, but she understood. She followed him into the car quietly.
