Ashley's attempted suicide should be attributed to the impact that Tangyuan's disappearance had on her. It was a heavy blow to anyone who would encounter it.
Luckily, Ashley was so weak that she just cut a tiny slit on her wrist. Moreover, Chloe was able to stop her in time. If not, she would have died and the twins would be an orphans now.
Then she would be dead and gone from her babies forever.
Even though Tangyuan was taken away, she was still alive.
She would do her best to get her daughter back!
In her heart, Ashley made a promise to herself.
Neither Ashley nor Chloe talked about that matter anymore. Ashley's mood also improved with each passing day.
What's more, Bun's skin was no longer wrinkled like when he was born. His fair skin and big round watery eyes bore his resemblance to his handsome father.
Even a glimpse of his eyes would be enough to soften anyone's heart.
As Ashley was getting better, she could be discharged from the hospital very soon. A reasonable period of home confinement after childbirth was needed, someone had to take care of her and Bun during this time.
It was Chloe who had been taking care of the baby boy, and she found her affection for Bun had grown.
"Ashley, why don't you stay with us? You can go back to your own home when you have fully recuperated and you are strong enough," Chloe suggested.
Ashley only shook her head and smiled. "Thank you, Chloe. But it's better if I go back to my house. You have already stayed in the hospital long enough. I can't be a bother to you anymore."
Chloe's face darkened at her words. She just gazed at Ashley in disbelief and snapped, "No! Full recovery is a must for women. You know that, don't you? You will get sick and it'll be much worse if you choose to ignore this! Do you want that to happen?"
Chloe said in an earnest tone.
"Really?" Ashley narrowed her eyes at Chloe.
Could one really get sick during home confinement? She racked her brains but couldn't remember any information about it.
Chloe on the other hand, was certain and nodded w
t blame me for losing my temper," she declared.
"Yes, my lady."
"No! I want to sleep in the same room as Mommy!"
Richard pressed his lips in a thin line.
Ashley gave an affectionate glance at Richard and said, "It's okay. He can stay with me. I'll take care of him."
"Okay then," Chloe nodded.
The steward's confused glance cast on Ashley. He didn't know anything about this woman. Why would Chloe treat her so kindly?
But he finally knew that Chloe was the head of the family. Now he could heave a sigh of relief. That meant he wouldn't have to be in a dilemma anymore.
He made a note to himself to be in Chloe's good favor in the future.
Meanwhile, Chloe was just chatting with Ashley. She had no idea what the steward was thinking.
After unpacking her luggage, Ashley turned to Chloe and looked at her with concerned eyes. "Chloe, are you sure you're okay with me staying here? I can live in my own house. I'm really fine! Only a few more days remain in that one-month home confinement rule. Plus, I already feel like brand new!"
"Don't worry about it. Just stay here. If he dares to do anything stupid, I'll leave with you. Then we can live together in your house!"
Ashley's mouth twitched at that. Wasn't this a threat to Nolan?
Ashley started to feel sorry for him.
He must be worn out because of such an aggressive and willful girlfriend.
