Chapter 658 Do You Think Your Death Will Solve The Problem

What's more, Ashley barely ate anything since Tangyuan's disappearance. She would have starved to death if Chloe hadn't tried her best to persuade Ashley to have something to eat.

"Chloe, could you please leave me alone for a while?" Ashley said suddenly.

Although the idea of leaving Ashley like this wasn't too reassuring, she knew that she needed to give Ashley some private space right now.

"Alright then, I am just outside the door. Eat anything you want, the food is just here by the bedside table. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

After one final glance at Ashley, Chloe left the ward.

The only thing Ashley could do now was to keep lying in bed.

Her mind wandered. Her daughter Tangyuan had gone missing. What was the point of living anymore? She began to get desperate.

Her gaze wandered and landed on a fruit knife on the food tray. Without any hesitation, Ashley took up the knife and pressed it against her wrist.

A bit of blood began to flow out.

Fortunately, Ashley hadn't eaten much these days and did not have much strength or will power. Plus, the fruit knife was not that sharp and therefore, the wound was just a tiny slit.

But blood still began to gush out quickly.

--

Bun suddenly started crying as if he knew that his mother was being harmed. The crisp sound of his cries echoed on the walls of the ward.

Ashley turned her head and saw the little bundle crying loudly in his crib.

The heart-wrenching cry almost broke Ashley's heart into pieces.

She took off her quilt and tried to get out of bed and get to her son. But she fell down as soon as her feet touched the floor. She had been in bed for days and hadn't eaten anything. Her body wasn't used to such physical effort.

"My baby..." Ashley exerted all her strength to crawl to the cradle.

But just a few attempts made her dizzy and exhausted.

Finally, she passed out on the floor.

Before she lost consciousness, she thought of her baby. How could she be so cruel!

Little Bun was still an infant. How could she give up her life like this?

If she died, what would

ve happened to Bun? And what about Tangyuan? And you've forgotten Richard too!"

Chloe had just spit this all out in a cold tone. This was the first time that she had spoken to Ashley like this ever since they met. And they had known each other for a quite some time now.

To be honest, Chloe was really scared. When she entered the ward, she had first seen the boy crying so sadly and Ashley lying on the floor near him with blood stains all over. She was filled with an inexplicable anger.

How could Ashley be so silly? Why would she ever want to commit suicide? Didn't she ever consider her son? And what would happen to her daughter after she was found?

Ashley kept her head down. All she had thought about just now was that she would never see Tangyuan again. When she saw the fruit knife next to her, she subconsciously wanted to just use it, and didn't give it much thought.

She burst into tears, "I'm so sorry, Chloe. It's all my fault. I..."

Before Ashley could finish her words, Chloe cut in, "You should apologize to your son, not me. Do you know how heartbroken he was when you fell down bleeding? His face had gone red! He is just a little boy! Don't you have any consideration for him? If you don't want him, say so! I'll take care of him!"

Perhaps because her voice was getting louder by the moment, Ashley's son, who had been sleeping in Chloe's arms, opened his eyes.
