When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“Let him go,” Ashton said, not bothering to raise his head as he stared silently into space. There was no way to tell whether or not he had even listened to what the doctor said.

When the doctor left, Ashton fell back into his own thoughts. His expression remained indifferent, and his emotions were hidden, causing others to be afraid to approach him.

Although I was not afraid, I did not dare to provoke him either. Thus, I sat to one side and waited patiently.

A long time later, Ashton eventually gathered his thoughts and pulled me out of the hospital.

Only after driving for a while did Ashton speak. His voice was low and deep. “What do you want to eat tonight?”

“Do I even have a say in front of you, Mr. Fuller? You should decide.” I suddenly thought of something and asked, “We’re not going back to eat?”

Ashton did not reply and simply parked the car after turning the corner. By the side of the road was a restaurant selling local cuisine.

Helpless, I followed him out of the car as I muttered absently to myself, “Gregory’s going to be so lonely eating by himself.”

Ashton stopped in his tracks and glanced at me with an expression that said he knew it well, signaling that I did not need to worry about Gregory.

How could I not worry about it? Children were aware and had their own thoughts as well. Once he realized that the adults had left him to fend for himself, he’d feel so wronged.
