Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 246

Jeremy was puzzled and angry as he saw Cara and Charlie together. He thought, 'What is Charlie up to? Is he out of his mind? Why is he still with Cara?'

Cara seemed oblivious to Jeremy's angry face. She walked over gracefully and gently asked, "Ashley, why are you at the hospital? Are you not feeling well?"

Ashley glanced at her, her tone distant. "No."

Charlie became dissatisfied with Ashley's attitude. He thought, 'Cara has always wanted to be friends with you, but you always reject her?

'Can't you be more friendly?'

Matthew snorted and stepped forward, standing between Ashley and Cara.

He felt that Cara was pretending and not as gentle as she appeared. He didn't want her getting close to Ashley.

With him around, Ashley wouldn't be troubled by Cara.

Seeing Matthew standing in front of her, Ashley found it all very perplexing.

Cara discreetly examined Ashley.

When she saw that Ashley had no sign of injury, she clenched her fingers, and her gaze turned vicious.

She thought, 'Valentin really protected you well. You weren't harmed at all.'

Cara sent the man to lock Ashley in the restroom, wanting to teach her a lesson. Of course, she knew everything that happened at the restaurant yesterday.

Since Ashley wasn't hurt, Valentin must have been seriously injured.

Cara gritted her teeth and thought, 'Why does he like Ashley so much? Why?'

Just then, the elevator finally arrived.

The elevator doors opened.

Ashley didn't want to be around the Ramos family anymore. She couldn't wait to leave this place. As she was about to step into the elevator...

She saw Bertha sitting in a wheelchair inside the elevator. Evan was pushing the wheelchair from behind while Jessica stood next to the wheelchair, chatting with Bertha.

Ashley thought, 'Why am I so unlucky today?

'Why do I keep running into them everywhere?'

Evan pushed Bertha out of the elevator, and as soon as he saw Ashley, he started criticizing her. "So you finally remembered to visit your mom? Only now you realize she's sick!"

Bertha also saw Ashley. She had been laughing and joking with Jessica just a moment ago, but now her brow furrowed. The love in her eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by blame.

"You refused to come and see me before. Why are you here now? Leave, I don't want your visit!"

Ashley found it amusing. "You are still so self-righteous. Did I say I came to see you?"

"You..." Bertha became short of breath and pale with anger.

She regretted giving birth to such an uncultured and ill-mannered daughter.

Veins popped on Evan's forehead as he scolded, "You bastard! How dare you talk to your parents like this! Don't you know how to be polite?"

"Dad!" Ryan couldn't help but warn, "Don't forget, Ashley has cut ties with us. You have no right to demand anything from her!"

"That's right!" Matthew added, "When Ashley was with us, we didn't see you treating her well. And now you expect her to be obedient. What kind of logic is that? Before scolding Ashley, think about yourselves. Have you fulfilled your duties as parents?"

Jeremy didn't speak, but his defense of Ashley was resolute.

Seeing his three sons standing against him, Evan flew into a rage. "You ungrateful bunch! Are you trying to drive me to my death? Do you even remember that I'm your father?"

Jeremy spoke coldly. "Dad, if you keep berating Ashley and behaving so terribly, then this will be the last time I call you 'Dad.'"

Evan froze for a moment upon hearing this, staring at Jeremy. "Jeremy, what do you mean by this?"

Charlie, who had been silent all along, also furrowed his brow at this moment.

Jeremy calmly locked eyes with Evan. "If you continue to scold Ashley and have a bad attitude, then from today onwards, I, Jeremy, will cut ties with the Ramos family and have no connection with you!"

His words were clear and loud.

Evan was stunned by Jeremy's words. He stared at him, his fingers trembling with anger. "You..."

Bertha felt a pang of pain in her heart. She pressed her chest, struggling for breath, angered to the point of being unable to speak.
