Within the Mu family, Ron was probably the only one who was really good to her.
Ron sighed and hugged Lena. "Okay, since you realize that what you have done was wrong, just don't do the same kind of things again. Okay?"
"Okay," replied Lena.
As soon as Ron left, Lena took out her cell phone. After pondering for a while, she navigated to Ashley's number and sent her a message.
After she hit the send button, she heaved a long sigh. Something else was weighing heavily on her mind.
Ashley was surprised when she saw an incoming message from Lena. Given the circumstances, that was next to impossible.
She clicked it open and read it.
"Ashley, for what I have done to you in the past, I am really sorry and I want to ask for your forgiveness. I hope you can forget all those bad things I did, though I know it is hard to forgive someone like me. Anyone in your place would find it difficult to forgive the person who puts them through the kind of pain I have caused you. But from now on, I have made up my mind to do at least one thing that would be best for you. I'm leaving this country tomorrow and I promise, never to bother you anymore.
And finally, I want to thank you for not holding me responsible. I wish you all the happiness."
She read the message in one breath and was left dumbfounded.
She checked the sender again to make sure that the message was from Lena. She couldn't believe that Lena could send her such a message.
'Lena... She would say something like that?
Has she finally come to her senses? Is she a changed person now?'
Ashley didn't think further, what was going on with Lena and put the cell phone away.
It was on Ron's account that she decided to let her get away with it.
Not that Ron had intervened or said anything to do with forgiving Lena. But of course, Ashley could see his reasons for coming to see her.
After all Lena was his sister.
Meanwhile, when Johnny found out that Lena was leaving the country, he informed Andrew about it.
Frowning, Andrew
e an eternity, it was Ashley who snapped herself out of the reverie and broke the silence. "Have you finished your work?"
"Yes," replied Andrew.
Ashley put away her cell phone and went over to his side. "I want to talk with you about Lena."
"About Lena's going abroad?"
"Right."
"Don't worry. I won't let anyone who hurt you, get away with it. It's too late for her to think about going abroad. As we speak, I've instructed Johnny to handle the matter. She won't be able to go abroad as easily as she thinks."
It was the first time Ashley had heard Andrew say something so long.
With a complicated expression, she stared at him, wondering why he adored her so much.
Yesterday she had received a big blow. Even today, it took her a long time to calm herself enough so as to talk with him about this matter.
However, his words stirred her emotions again.
Reading her eyes, Andrew noticed there was something unusual. "What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing." Ashley drew back her attention and shook her head.
"Well, about Lena's going abroad, I've known about that. In fact, it's...it's my idea that she should go abroad. I mean, can we just forget the whole matter? That to me, is it a good idea. Is that okay with you?' She looked at him keenly after, her words lingering in the air for a while, as they started at each other in silence.
