In Love, Never Say Never

Rebecca’s eyes darted around agitatedly. “Aunt Sally was there, she witnessed it too. She can testify for me.”

Nervous, her fingers quickly dialed Sally’s number. Then, a phone rang immediately from the corridor outside.

It turned out that Sally had already been in the hospital since earlier, but was sat in the lobby waiting. She paced towards them after receiving Rebecca’s call.

A frown creased on Sally’s face as she looked at everyone inside the ward.

Seeing this, Rebecca burned a bright red and called out emotionally, “Aunt Sally! Tell these policemen that Scarlett stabbed me. She was going to kill me, you saw it too! Tell the policemen what you saw, okay?”

Sally’s attention turned towards Ashton. His features dulled. Although his gaze was intense, there were no emotions on his face.

Sally struck a sideways glance at me. Her eyebrows knitted together as she uttered a simple response, “I was in the bedroom at the time. I don’t know what exactly transpired, but when I came out, Ashton had already carried you up to the ambulance.”

Shock stuck like lightning onto Rebecca’s face. “Aunt Sally! You definitely saw the whole thing, why aren’t you telling them?”

The police shuffled uncomfortably. Their ears turned slightly red from being in an awkward situation. They were clueless as to what was going on, nor did they know what to do next.

Rebecca tugged at Ashton’s arm, her teary eyes pierced like nails onto him. “Ash, you saw it! You witnessed it with your own eyes. Tell them that Scarlett was trying to murder me, you have to tell them!”
