Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 2 Take Alyssa Away

Deborah was so anxious that she choked, "I will come over immediately. I will pay the fees. Doctor, you must treat my daughter first." After hanging up the phone, Deborah remembered that she could not hail a taxi nearby. Ashton's house was a detached there were few people nearby.

manor, and

Because of the anxiety, Deborah's forehead was full of cold sweat, and she wanted to ask Ashton to let the driver send her.

As soon as Deborah turned around, she saw Ashton enter the manor directly. The gate of the manor closed mercilessly in front of her eyes and locked again.

They had just been so close, and Ashton could hear what Deborah said in the phone call.

From here, Deborah had to walk for at least 1.2 miles before she could catch a taxi.

Deborah's body was wet with snow. Her wet coat pressed against her body like a boulder, pressing down on her back, and the chill went straight into her bones.

Dragging her legs, Deborah walked forward with difficulty and anxiety step by step. Large drops of sweat on her forehead dripped on the white snow ground.

Although Deborah tried to walk faster, nearly an hour had passed when she got in a taxi and rushed to the hospital ward.

As soon as Deborah entered the ward, she saw Alyssa's thin body curled up on the bed.

The doctor had put Alyssa on the drip. Alyssa was afraid of being alone. Her face was pale, and her eyes were red, but she bit her lips and did not cry. She did not shout for her mother.

Deborah's nose twitched. She suddenly felt regret. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have given birth to Alyssa no matter what. Alyssa wouldn't have suffered with her at such a young age.

Deborah walked over and sat down by the bed. Deborah picked up Alyssa from the bed. 'Alyssa, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Alyssa was a little dizzy from the fever. When she saw her mother, her eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Mom, did Dad agree to come? If he comes, I will be cured, right?"

Alyssa was only four years old, but she was very smart and sensible. She heard from the doctor that her mother went to find her father. Her father could donate his marrow to her, and then she would be cured.

Alyssa did not understand what bone marrow was. She only knew that her father was very powerful.

Alyssa had never been cared for by Ashton when she was young, but this could not stop her desire for Ashton's love.

When Alyssa saw other children being held up high in their father's arms and heard the laughter of other children, she would look forward to it even more.

Deborah held Alyssa tightly in her arms and patted Alyssa gently. "Of course, your dad will agree. He is busy now, but he will come after his work is done. Dad loves you the most. How can he not be willing to help you treat your illness?"

Alyssa was very happy. She was slowly coaxed to sleep by Deborah. Before Alyssa fell asleep, she did not forget to say, "Are you sick, Mom? Why are you so cold? Let me hug you, and let's sleep together." Deborah choked with so bs and wanted to reply to Alyssa, but she couldn't say anything

Alyssa fell asleep. Deborah put her on the bed and sat by the bed. She propped her elbows up on the edge of the bed, and she also

dozed off in a daze.

Deborah didn't know how long she had slept. When she was half-asleep, she seemed to hear footsteps coming in. Then she suddenly heard Alyssa's sharp cry.

Deborah suddenly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Helen Bauer carrying Alyssa in her arms. Helen coaxed Alyssa with a little madness, "Baby, you are my baby daughter."

Deborah stood up. Alyssa had always been obedient and did not cry. Now she was really frightened. She looked at Deborah and cried,

"Mom, Mom!"

Deborah did not care about anything else. She rushed up and grabbed Alyssa from Helen.

While the two were pushing each other, Helen suddenly loosened her hand. Alyssa fell down with her head down and let out a sharp

cry.

Deborah's heart suddenly tightened. When she was anxious to pick up Alyssa, she saw that there was a big swollen bump on Alyssa's forehead.

Deborah had just picked up Alyssa and stood up when Helen immediately stag gered back and fell down. Her head heavily hit the iron. frame on the bedside table.

Outside the ward, Ashton stepped in from the outside with a furious face. "Helen.)

Helen's head was covered in blood. She stood up and pointed at Alyssa, crying. "My baby. She is mine. That woman stole my baby and hit me."

Deborah did not have time to explain when Ashton approached her and slapped her face.

Deborah was not on guard at all. She could not help but stag ger back a few steps. She watched as Helen threw herself into Ashton's arms with a face full of grievance and horror. Helen was gently hugged by him.

Ashton instructed the bodyguard behind him and said in a cold voice, "Bring that child to Helen. She will be Helen's daughter from now on."
