Save Myself from Desperation

They went to the room on the cruise.

Ashley sat by the bed while two doctors examined her body. One of the doctors specialized in alternative medicine. They used their different ways to make sure Ashley was fine.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Karen, Brian, George, Lester, and Valentin all stayed by her side.

Ashley felt indescribably warmth in her heart from those closest people’s caring. She raised her eyes and saw Andrew standing by the door.

He leaned against the door frame quietly, looking at her with arms across his chest. Ashley didn’t know when he stood there and how long he had been looking at her.

His hair was still wet, with water drops rolling down from the tips of his hair. His skin was smooth and bright. He looked flawless. He was manly and freewheeling, but now, he stood there alone, with loneliness in his eyes...

Noticing Ashley looking towards him, Andrew was startled, then tilted his head slightly and smiled.

Then Ashley saw something in his eyes as if to tease her, “I know you're peeking at me, baby.”

Ashley rolled her eyes at him and withdrew her gaze.

‘| shouldn't look at him!’ she thought.

However, Ashley felt a little upset. ‘He shouldn’t have jumped into the water...’ she thought.

After the two doctors examined Ashley's body, they asked Ashley for some more details, and Ashley answered them all truthfully. Karen sat worriedly by the bed and held Ashley’s hand tightly.

Ashley comforted her. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Karen's eyes were full of sorrow. “Ashley, it is the first day we have you back, but the accident happened. You fell into the water. | have to blame myself...”

It suddenly occurred to her that Ashley hadn’t called her “Mom’” yet. ‘Is she not willing to?

‘Although | really want to hear it, | should be patient. We should treat Ashley more well in the future so that Ashley can accept us as soon as possible,’ Karen thought.

Just as Karen was lost in thoughts, she felt something soft. Ashley also held her hand.

Ashley said gently, “Don’t blame yourself, Mom. I’m fine, really.”

Karen's voice trembled with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes. “Ashley, what...did you say?” Ashley smiled with deep feelings in her eyes. “Mom.”

Karen burst into tears because of that word coming from Ashley. She quickly raised her hand to wipe her tears and smile with satisfaction.

Brian came over excitedly, eyes filled with anticipation. “Ashley...”

Ashley looked over and smiled, “Dad.”

Lester couldn't wait to come over. But he was pushed away by George mercilessly as he came to Ashley.

Ashley looked at them and grinned with delight. “You two are so cute.”

Lester was joyful when he saw Ashley’s happy face. But he was annoyed with George about pushing him away from Ashley. He thought, ‘I must be the closest person to Ashley because we spent a lot of time staying together recently.

‘But | have to put more effort into solidifying my status in Ashley’s heart from now on!’

Lester and George were definitely brothers by blood because George was also thinking about how to continue to get closer to Ashley.

Valentin, on the side, looked at Ashley being surrounded by her loving family. A feeling of warmth appeared in his heart. He thought, ‘She finally found her real family. ‘Maybe it was a little late, but those childhood birthday wishes she made finally came true...”

Valentin’s eyes were deep on Ashley, who was surrounded by love. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Andrew, who was leaning against the door frame at the door.

Andrew looked at Ashley idly, with a look of happiness that she had found her real family and a hint of subtle envy... He sensed Valentin’s gaze, smiled, and looked him in his eyes fearlessly. The gaze of them met in the air as if invisible sparks collided.

Valentin didn’t withdraw his gaze until the two doctors started to talk about Ashley’s physical condition. Then he looked towards the doctors.

Andrew lazily clicked his tongue and also looked towards the doctor.

The older alternative medicine doctor said, “We examined Ms. Ramos’ body. She is in good health, and no discomfort was found. You guys can be relaxed.”

Karen and Brian breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Valentin pondered and asked calmly, “She suddenly felt dizzy just now. Why?”

“Dizzy?” The doctor heard it and checked again in confusion.

Andrew frowned slightly when he heard it. He thought, ‘Ashley had never suffered from dizziness before.’

Lester thought it was a feasible suggestion. Anyway, It was not troublesome to check every day. If Ashley did feel uncomfortable, they could know it in time.

After the doctors left, Karen sat by the bed and held Ashley’s hand. “Ashley, you must tell me immediately if you feel uncomfortable.”

Ashley nodded. “I will.”

Karen was elated because George’s proposal really spoke to her heart. “George, I’m also thinking about it. We need to do it soon and not put it off. Maybe in these two days.”

Of course, she wanted the world to know she had a perfect daughter like Ashley! The pride on Karen’s face was beyond words.

Ashley was not averse to the family reunion banquet. She thought it was necessary to explain her relationship with the Pliskin family and the Ramos family to the public.

Andrew smiled and glanced meaningfully at Ashley. “You don’t have to say that, Mrs. Pliskin. Ashley and | have known each other before.”

Karen was surprised when she heard this. ‘Have they known each other before?

‘No wonder Andrew jumped into the water to save Ashley. According to his character, if they first meet, how could Andrew do this?’

With this thought, Karen suddenly remembered that the elders of the Pliskin family and the Banks family had arranged marriages for their offspring before.

But the marriage was shelved after the Pliskin family’s daughter was missing since childhood. If the arrangement was still valid, Andrew should be Ashley’s fiancé now... Thinking of this history, the Pliskin family suddenly fell silent in embarrassment.

Lester also knew about the arrangement. It was settled in his grandfather’s generation, but now, Ashley was already married to Valentin.

So, the marriage arrangement between Ashley and Andrew...

Ashley sensed the silence and thought of her fiancé, whom she hadn't seen before. She immediately held Valentin’s hand. ‘I only have one husband,’ she thought.

Ashley cleared her throat and said quickly, “Mom, Dad, | want Valentin to attend the family reunion banquet with me. | also want my marriage in the open.”
