Chapter 54 A Slap

Deborah seemed to have lost her soul and approached Helen. “Are you kidding? I won’t believe you.”

Alyssa wouldn’t die. She had already received the bone marrow transplant. She had a healthy body

and a bright future. She stayed in the sterile room now. The doctor said that even her family were not

allowed to visit her.

Ashton was going to use Alyssa to force Deborah to have a baby, so Alyssa would be safe, and Helen

couldn’t hurt her.

Seeing that Helen stopped talking, Deborah said in a dazed voice, “Why don’t you continue?. You got

nothing to make up, right? You lar, Alyssa is alive.”

Seeing that Deborah was about to approach Helen, Ashton stretched out his hand to stop her in a

panic. “Deborah, Helen is talking nonsense. Don’t be like this.”

Deborah’s eyes turned red suddenly, and she pushed Ashton’s hand away with great excitement. “I

want to see Alyssa Ashton, I want to see Alyssa, and I must see her now!”

Ashton hugged her in a hurry, “Okay, okay. I’ll take you to see her in a while.

“Listen to me. Alyssa has had her bone marrow replaced, and she is fine. I sent her abroad to

recuperate. You will see her later…”

Deborah went crazy. She pushed him away suddenly and shouted hysterically, “I want to see Alyssa!

I’m going to see Alyssa now! Ashton, you bastard! Get out!”

She quickly lost control of her emotions and struggled, causing her hair to come down. Tears and cold

sweat mixed with the messy hair stuck to her face, making her look like a complete lunatic.

Helen cried loudly, “Ashton, stop hiding it from Debby. How could Debby not know the truth? She’s

Alyssa’s mother. She must have sensed it a long time ago. I will expiate my crime. Let me die!”

Ashton’s mind was about to explode, and he only felt Helen was extremely noisy.

Deborah became a little out of breath. She screamed to see Alyssa, but Ashton stopped her fiercely.

She crazily beat him and bit on.

his arm.

Helen still shouted, stirring fire in Ashton’s heart for some reason. He couldn’t hold his anger back,

stepped forward, and slapped

Helen’s face.

“I said it was enough. Shut up!”

It was the first time Ashton had beaten Helen. She didn’t come to her senses for a long time. She

suddenly stopped talking and froze,

dumbfounded.

Nina rushed over and was about to fan the flame. But as soon as she came and saw them, she

immediately stopped, not daring to

say anything.

Deborah couldn’t be intimidated by Ashton anymore. Without Ashton’s obstruction, she rushed

downstairs in a frenzy.

Ashton just sla,

sla..

Helen in the face. But he immediately turned around and chased Deborah out upon seeing her running.

downstairs, regardless of Helen’s reaction.

Deborah stumbled downstairs. When she reached the stairs, Ashton caught up and grabbed her wrist.

For the first time, he spoke to Deborah in a gentle and guilty voice, “Debby, don’t be like this. We will

have our own children and live a happy life.

“Let the past be the past, and I won’t pursue the matter that you plotted against me back then…”

“Bullshit! Alyssa is still in the hospital. I’m going to find her!” Deborah pushed him with a pale face.

Unable to push him away, she bit hard on his palm.

Ashton let go of his hand in pain. He was about to grab Deborah with the other hand when she took a

few steps back and went

downsta

After taking a few steps back, she turned around and saw a long staircase extending down

The stairs before Deborah’s eyes suddenly became white, like an endless maze, beginning to spin and

shake

She took a step forward, missed a step, and fell down

Ashton hutted over. When he stretched out his hand to pull her, he only touched her fingertips and

could only watch her quickly roll down the stairs.

At the bottom of the stairs, Deborah’s face turned pale, and she fell into a coma….

When she woke up, she found herself in the hospital.

There was dead silence all around, and it was already dark outside the window.

Alyssa would come out of the sterile room in three days. The new clothes Deborah made for her were

still in Flora Villa’s bedroom.

A sharp pain of suffocation came from Deborah’s heart. She grabbed the edge of the bed, and her nails

snapped off, suffering excruciating pain.

She opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound. The strong taste of blood filled her throat.

Although she was in pain to the core, she didn’t even shed a tear.

Deborah’s body seemed dried up, frozen, dead.

Outside the door of the ward, there seemed to be a very vague voice.

Deborah got out of bed. She was still on a drip but pulled out the needle without hesitation.

The back of her hand began to bleed. The pain was nothing to her because she couldn’t feel it at all

now.

She walked to the door and could vaguely hear the voice outside. It was Ashton talking to Jeff.

Jeff said with regret, “After the car fell off the cliff, it caught fire due to the violent impact. Alyssa’s body

was burnt beyond recognition, and there was only a lucky charm that was burned black.

“The body is still frozen in the funeral parlor. Do you think it should be cremated so that Alyssa can be

put to rest early, or let Ms. Shepherd take a last look?”

Ashton said in a tired tone, ‘Let’s talk about the cremation later. What about Helen? What did the police

say?”

Jeff replied, “You have already provided Ms. Bauer’s mental illness diagnosis report. The police said

that on the day of the incident, Ms. Bauer was delirious and drove Alyssa to the edge of the cliff.

“Later, you rescued Ms. Bauer, causing the car to fall off the cliff with Alyssa. It was considered an

accident. In view of Ms. Bauer’s mental illness, the police will not pursue her further.”

Exhausted, Deborah slowly squatted down along the wall.

Huge anger.

ind unwillingness made her body tremble silently yet rapidly.

Ashton answered the phone, then told Jeff, “I have to go back to Mullen Manor. You stay here, and I will

come back later.”

Soon, there was silence outside the door.

Deborah squatted on the ground, unable to stand up anymore, her body shaking all the time.

As soon as Ashton left, Helen couldn’t wait to come over.

She had been choking back her anger after being slapped by Ashton. So she hurried to see how

miserable Deborah was so that she could feel better.

Immediately stopped her, “Ms. Bauer, you can’t go in.”

The palm print on Helen’s face was still a little obvious. She said, “I just came here to apologize to

Debby Jeff, Alyssa is gone, and I Just want to apologize. Doesn’t that sound reasonable?”

Jeff replied with a disgusted look, “Ms. Bauer, I stopped you for your own good. You should understand

that you can’t take advantage of Ms. Shepherd.”

Soaked in anger and sadness, Deborah was hopeless and didn’t care about life or death.

She no longer had scruples, weaknesses, and fear.

Helen should be smart and hide as far away as possible now.

Helen said impatiently, Jeff, Ashton asked me to come to apologize. I think Ashton only wants you to

stay here and make sure nothing happens to Debby. He didn’t say I can’t enter, did he?”

Jeff responded truthfully, “No, but Ms. Bauer…”

Helen opened the door and went in without saying any more.

As soon as she went in, she closed the door. She saw Deborah sitting on the ground desperately, with

a hollow and hopeless

expression.

Helen was very satisfied to see that. She couldn’t help squatting down in front of her, and whispered in

her ear.

“I have warned you to get out with your daughter and not to mess with me. Look now. Aren’t you

trouble on yourself?”

Deborah was rubbing the blade of a sharp fruit knife in the hand behind her back.

She couldn’t let Alyssa die alone, so she planned to use this knife to commit suicide so that she could

accompany Alyssa.

But now, she suddenly changed her mind.

Deborah whispered, “I’m telling you…”

Helen got closer with a triumphant face, “What?”
