Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Deborah, I Want a Daughter Too

The tip of the knife was pushed deep into Ashton’s chest. Deborah’s eyes were red

Ashton looked down and saw blood soaking his clothes and dripping down the blade to the ground.

Ashton didn’t know when Deborah reached for that knife He was dumbfounded

At this moment, Ashton suddenly remembered that he once angered Hector Mullen, his grandfather,

and Hector hit his back.

The injury wasn’t serious. But that night, when Deborah sat on his bed and applied ointment to it, she

was so worried that she cried.

Deborah, who would cry over Ashton’s injury, had now personally stabbed his chest.

Ashton felt a strange feeling. There was anger and something else

But he didn’t know what other feelings were.

Deborah was still holding the knife. Her hand was shaking. She desperately pushed the knife into

Ashton’s chest.

Ashton grabbed her hand that was holding the knife. She didn’t have much strength in the first place,

and she had almost used it up. With a little force, Ashton pulled her hand away.

The hatred in Deborah’s eyes was instantly replaced by fear. She felt that Ashton would seek revenge

and kill her the next moment.

Ashton ignored the wound and dragged her to the sofa. He threw Deborah onto the sofa

Ashton held Deborah down, grabbed her hand, and forced her to hold the hilt of the knife in front of his

chest.

Ashton grabbed her hand that was clenched into a fist and suddenly pulled out the bloody knife.

Deborah’s face turned pale. She wondered which one of them was crazy.

As the knife was removed, the blood in his chest quickly flowed out.

Ashton loosened his grip a little. The knife in Deborah’s hand immediately fell to the ground, making a

crisp yet piercing sound.

Ashton pressed Deborah’s hand against his chest. It stopped most of the blood.

Some blood still flowed out from the gaps between Deborah’s fingers. It flowed down her arm and

soaked the sleeve of the sweater. She could feel the warmth of the liquid on her arm.

Ashton glared at her. The blood on his body stained Deborah’s light-colored sweater. They were both

stained with blood now

The blood all over his body made him look frightening. Ashton said fiercely, “Deborah, you are risking

your neck, like you always did.”

Deborah struggled a few times and then quit. Everything she saw was a bloody blur.

Deborah felt like a piece of wood floating in the water. She recalled that summer when she jumped into

the deep water to help Ashton. His blood sugar suddenly lowered when he was swimming.

At that time, Deborah was floating like this

Ashton had saved her before. That was why Deborah risked her life to save him without hesitation.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the dawn was breaking.

The first ray of sunlight shone in through the window.

Deborah was in a daze. She looked at Ashton and said softly, “Ashton, I regret saving you.”

Ashton felt that he had misheard Deborah. And it seemed to be something important.

Ashton leaned over and asked her, “What did you say?”

Deborah didn’t reply. She fell asleep..

Ashton stood up to take Deborah out. He looked down at her. Her clothes were untidy. Ashton reached

for his coat and put it on

Deborah.

Ashton picked her up and walked out.

Helen was standing at the door. When she saw it open, she subconsciously hid to the side.

Ashton came out. Helen realized that she couldn’t avoid him. She tried to find an excuse to explain why

she was here.

However, Ashton didn’t see her at all. He directly carried Deborah out and walked in the direction of the

bedroom on the other side.

Helen was shocked to see that he and Deborah were covered in blood.

There is so much blood. Has Deborah died?

Helen quickly followed Ashton.

Ashton took Deborah to his bedroom. As he threw her onto the bed, he blacked out.

Ashton lost a lot of blood, and Deborah’s clothes were soaked.

When Deborah woke up, the sky was already bright.

Andrew had treated Ashton’s wound. Ashton was sitting on the side of the bed and staring at Deborah.

When Deborah opened her eyes, she saw Ashton looking at her. His eyes were bloodshot.

Deborah glanced at him and closed her eyes.

Ashton said angrily. “The next time you want to die, you’d better kill your daughter first. Otherwise, your

daughter will fall into my hands, and I won’t be nice to her.”

Deborah didn’t say a word. Ashton suddenly lifted the quilt on her and pulled her up. “I am talking to Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

you. Did you hear me?”

Deborah coughed violently as he suddenly dragged her.

Deborah sounded really sick. After she coughed a few times, the corner of her mouth seemed to be

stained with some blood.

Ashton looked closer. But Deborah raised her hand and wiped it off.

Ashton frowned. “Did you cough up blood?”

A strong smell of blood spread out in Deborah’s throat. The pain had lasted for a long time, and

Deborah had gotten used to it.

She smiled and said coldly, “Yes. It started a long time ago.

“Helen forced me to donate seventy percent of my liver. She injected me with poison, so my liver

couldn’t heal. And I developed liver cancer. I’m about to die. Coughing up blood is almost a routine.”

Ashton said coldly, “What nonsense are you talking about? The medicine that Dr. Wilson gave you is

for treating your liver. It won’t harm you. Helen is taking it too, and it’s effective. Her appetite has

become much better…”

Deborah interrupted him, “Ashton, why do you always ask?”

Ashton didn’t reply. He didn’t understand what she meant.

Deborah mocked him in a low voice. “You won’t believe me anyway. Then why do you ask me?”

Ashton looked displeased. ‘I want to hear the truth.”

Deborah said coldly. “You should ask Helen. She will give you the answer you like. You won’t like my

version.”

Ashton was speechless after hearing what Deborah said. He had felt something was wrong recently.

Why does Deborah’s condition look worse? But Dr. Wilson always said that she was fine.

Has Dr. Wilson made a mistake, or has Deborah managed to deceive him?

Ashton was confused. He thought about it and suddenly realized that he and Deborah hadn’t had a

child after being married for so

many years.

Deborah always says that she loves me. But she has had a child with another man, and for so many

years, she never mentioned

having a child with me

Ashton stared at Deborah for a long time and suddenly said, “Deborah, have a child with me. I want a

daughter too.”
