When There Is Nothing Left But Love

The phone in my pocket vibrated.

I answered the call and immediately heard a cold voice screech, “Scarlett!”

It was Ashton. I guess he must have come out of the ER.

“Yes!” I answered. Upon seeing I’m on a call, Nick stood up and went to get some drinks.

“What are you doing?” I could tell that the man on the other side of the line was not in a good mood.

“I’m having barbecue now!” I told him, frankly.

He responded with a cold short. “Enjoying barbecue while your husband is still at the hospital? You’re seriously the best wife ever.”

I pressed my lips into a thin line. “Since you still have the strength to be mad at me, I guess you’re doing fine.”

If he can quarrel with me, his injuries mustn’t be that serious, right?

Nick soon returned with a few bottles of drinks and said, “Have some drinks to cool you down.”

I gave him a thumbs-up to express my appreciation.

“Who’s that? Who’s with you?” Ashton asked impatiently.
