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.
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.
'I 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. I have to blame myself..."
It suddenly occurred to her that Ashley hadn't called her "Mom" yet.
'Is she not willing to?
'Although I really want to hear it, I 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 I 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.
