Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Kneel Down

Deborah hugged Alyssa tightly and felt Alyssa’s body in her arms begin to burn.

Deborah thought William had fainted in the Gaige’s house while coughing up blood, and the Gaige

family sent him to the hospital in

chaos.

Her eyes dimmed, and her voice was low and helpless. “Jeff, I really don’t understand. What is the

sincerity he wants? Please tell me.”

Deborah looked behind Jeff. Separated by a distance from the front yard, Ashton walked out the door

with Helen in his arms. He stood on the steps and looked at her indifferently from a distance.

Jeff finally said coldly, “Ms. Shepherd, Mr. Mullen said that you and your daughter are not allowed to

enter Flora Villa again, but he did not say that you can’t go in on your knees.”

Deborah’s pupils contracted. Looking at Ashton and Helen in the distance, a sad smile appeared on

her face.

She had to kneel down.

In such big snow, he not only wanted her to kneel but also wanted her to kneel and move in.

She had never knelt in front of anyone since she was a child.

In the past, when Helen framed her, she was kicked out by her father, Devon.

She only had 1 dollar left. She bought bread and stayed under the bridge for a night. She had never

knelt down to beg them.

Her mother scolded her for being useless. She would not win the Bauer family’s favor. She couldn’t ask

them for money.

They used a stick as thick as a forearm to hit her, asking her to kneel and apologize. She had never

done that.

But now, she could not remember clearly how many times she had been forced to kneel by Ashton.

Deborah looked at the cold iron door in front of her, the white snow, and the two people who were

holding each other’s arms in the distance. Her eyes finally turned red uncontrollably

She took a deep breath. After a long time, she said, ‘If I kneel down and go in, will he let the Gaige

family go and save my daughter?”

Jeff said coldly, “Ms Shepherd, you don’t have the right to bargain.”

Deborah said no more and slowly knelt down.

The snow water quickly seeped into her knees, and the ice cold drilled into her bones and flesh like a

knife.

Deborah held Alyssa tightly with trembling hands. She moved forward with her knees, passing through

the iron door and moving in,

Her action was very slowly. Every time she moved forward a small distance, the snow would be pushed

to the front of her knees, preventing her from continuing.

She could only lift her knees up with difficulty, then kneel down again and continue to move forward.

Her knees quickly bled due to the friction and the great chill. Every time she moved forward, it was like

a knife was cutting into her

flesh.

Deborah’s teeth kept chattering, and her face became even paler.

Jeff turned around and quickly looked at Ashton, but Jeff did not see a hint of satisfaction on his face.

Jeff tried hard to find a problem with Deborah and finally set his eyes on Alyssa, who was in Deborah’s

arms.

1Ms. Shepherd, if your daughter wants to enter Flora Villa, she has to kneel down, too.”

Alyssa had already woken up in Deborah’s arms. She could no longer withstand the coldness. Alyssa

was about to pass out. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Alyssa curled up in Deborah’s arms in fear. “Mom, I’m afraid. Let’s go back to Mr. Gaige.”

Chap

Down

Deborah seemed to have heard Ashton’s sneer. He probably heard Alyssa’s words, and his face turned

even colder.

Deborah held Alyssa tightly in her arms. This time, no matter what, she was unwilling to compromise.

“No. Alyssa is sick now. If she kneels on the such snowy ground, she will die

Jeff also showed a trace of embarrassment Ashton grabbed Helen and turned around to walk inside.

Jeff did not dare to plead for Deborah He immediately followed Ashton inside Ms Shepherd, please go

back then”

Deborah saw that the door was about to close. She did not care about the pain. She knelt down and

hurriedly moved over.

She screamed in despair, “Ashton, I beg you. I can do whatever you want. Please, let Alyssa go. She is

innocent. She does not know anything.”

Ashton did not turn around. He stepped in, and Jeff followed him in. He turned around and was about

to close the door.

Deborah knew Ashton’s personality. Once the door was closed, the Gaige family would really be

finished There was no hope for Alyssa to get the bone marrow.

She said anxiously, “Alright, alright. I agree. I will let Alyssa kneel and move in with me.”

The door was closed until there was only a crack. It finally stopped and was opened again.

Jeff looked at her and did not speak again.

At this time, Alyssa was scared silly and stopped crying.

Deborah held her and put her down. She obediently knelt in the snow, biting her lip without saying a

word

Deborah knew that she was in pain. A four-year-old child was supposed to be a baby that her parents

and grandparents cared the most about

It was such a snowy night.

When she knelt down and entered the gate of Flora Villa, Alyssa’s lips were blue. She tilted her head

and passed out in Deborah’s

arms.

Deborah gritted her teeth, her whole body covered in snow water, and she wailed to restrain herself.

The inside of Flora Villa was very warm, completely different from the outside world.

Ashton was sitting on the sofa, accompanying Helen to watch TV shows.

He did not watch it. He was working on his phone at the side. When he heard the sound of Deborah

and Alyssa coming in, he did not

turn around to look.

He seemed to have forgotten about Deborah’s matter, and his expression was indifferent.

Jeff walked over and asked carefully, “Mr. Mullen, Ms. Shepherd and her daughter came in. Are they

staying tonight?”

Ashton was reading the information on his phone when he was suddenly interrupted. He said

impatiently. Just throw them into the underground room. They are dirty and smelly.”

Jeff nodded. “Yes, Mr. Mullen.”

Helen persuaded him, “Ashton, don’t be like this. Debby didn’t leave with Dr. Gaige on purpose. After

all, Dr. Gaige is young and promising. He is indeed outstanding.

“But she has admitted her mistake now. Why don’t you give them the bedroom you let me live in first? I

can live anywhere you want.”

Ashton glanced sideways at Deborah, who was kneeling on the ground. He sneered, “Helen, she will

dirty your bedroom.”

Helen said anxiously, “Ashton. Debby is my sister. Why do you say that?

“No matter what, they can’t live in the underground room. There is a dog in the basement. Debby is

most afraid of dogs. What if the

dog hurt Debby and Alyssa?”

Shen Ashton just remembered that after Helen lived here a few days ago, she also took the dog of the

Bauer family.

Helen said that she had raised the dog for many years and could not abandon it. However, Ashton

hated cats and dogs, so he let the dog live in an empty storeroom in the basement.

Ashton instructed Jeff, “Let them live in that dog’s room.

Deborah trembled when she heard this. She had been bitten by a dog when she was a child, and she

had a deep psychological

shadow over dogs

Before she could say a word, a few bodyguards at the side dragged her up and threw her and Alyssa

into the roorn in the basement.

The dog, who was sleeping, was awakened by the sudden movement and immediately stood up

vigilantly.

The bodyguard went out, closed the door, and locked it.

The dog looked at the two strangers who appeared in its territory and began to bark at them,

approaching them.
