When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Tessa paused for a moment and cried softly to add to the dismal topic. Her crying noises were low, but it was enough to make the atmosphere gloomy.

Although I couldn’t see Ashton’s expression, he was silent all the time, so I bet he could be paying attention.

Seeing how Tessa was just sobbing and didn’t continue, he took the initiative and asked, “Operating room?”

“Yes.” Tessa sobbed softly, “I didn’t know how to tell you. Everything in the operating room was terrifying, and it’s a total nightmare. They held us captive to make use of our bodies as transporting tools. It was agonizing when we were forced to queue up outside the operating room, waiting for our turn.”

She wiped her tears before continuing, “Scarlett stood up and begged them for mercy, so she got into trouble.”

I listened for a moment before doubting her thought process. Wait… So I got into trouble to save them?

Ashton commanded frostily, “Continue!”

However, she didn’t leave, and when she knew they were going to carry out operations on us, she went to beg Abe…”
