Torn Between Love and Hate

Chapter 86

Chapter 86 He Can’t Turn Back

Deborah said in a faint voice. “Im not sick, just a little tied ”

Joseph’s gaze was fixed on her as if he wanted to see through her.

*Just being tired can cause you to cough up blood? Deborah, do you think I am a fool?”

Deborah looked embarrassed And she couldn’t find a reasonable answer, so she didn’t say anything.

Deborah tried to get out of bed to clean up the mess on the floor.

But her body was so cold and weak that she couldn’t get up, no matter how hard she tried. She felt as if

she was pressed down on the bed by something heavy.

The most significant physical reaction of liver cancer was constant nausea and vomiting.

Deborah had been throwing up like this for a long time, but her body still couldn’t adapt.

Every time she finished throwing up, she would feel cold and painful all over, and she would tremble

uncontrollably.

Seeing Deborah was so weak, Joseph called a serv ant to clean the carpet.

Joseph asked, “So why don’t you let Ashton take you to get treatment?”

Deborah didn’t respond. She was too weak and didn’t want to say anything.

What could she say? What was the point of telling Joseph she was sick?

Even if Joseph sighed with pity and said, “You are so pitiful,” what good would it do for her?

Joseph’s expression was inexplicable, “Really? Can’t believe that even though you have a terminal

illness, Ashton won’t take you to a doctor? You and Ashton may not be getting along, but there isn’t

such a big grudge between you?”

Joseph also knew about Deborah’s relationship with Ashton.

Joseph had secretly investigated the Mullen family and Ashton.

After that, he wanted to take advantage of Deborah, so he investigated the relationship between

Deborah and Ashton.

It was said that Deborah had set a trap on Ashton, slept with him, and got pregnant with his child.

However, even though Ashton slept with Deborah and had a daughter with her, it would not hinder him

from taking care of other

women.

Deborah was like a free babysitter, And there was no reason that Ashton hated her so much.

At the very least, as his nominal wife with a terminal illness, Ashton should use his medical connection

and find a way to help

Deborah.

Even if a stranger had an incurable disease, someone could donate something to express their love.

Deborah didn’t want to respond, but Joseph kept asking her as if he had gone insane.

After a long time, Deborah replied, “He doesnt believe me.”

Joseph was truly shocked and pointed to the large bloodstain on the floor. “How can he not believe you

when this happened?!”

Joseph believed that if Ashton saw the large bloodstain on the floor, he would trust Deborah.

Deborah was annoyed by Joseph’s constant questioning and decided to tell him the truth. “I was in a

coma, and Ashton said I just had a cold. I took painkillers, and Ashton said they were vitamin C. When I

threw up blood, he said I had used a blood pack to fool him.”

She looked up at Joseph after finishing her words. “Do you have any more questions?”

Joseph was stunned for a long time and asked the last question, “What’s a blood pack?”

Deborah’s voice was calm as if she was discussing something completely unrelated to herself. “It’s a

prop used in film and television. You put it in your mouth and bite down on it, and then you can spit out

something that looks like blood.”

Joseph was confused. “What nonsense…”

Deborah interrupted him. “Mr. Black, I’m not here to make a fool of myself. You don’t have to worry

about me. I’m here to see Alyssa.”

Joseph was silent

Deborah looked straight at him and asked, “Mr. Black, you’re not tricking me, are you?”

Joseph was usually composed, never showing any emotions on his face. But today, he seemed to be

acting strangely, and Deborah sensed something was off.

Deborah smiled and spoke as if she was joking, but her words were serious. “If you’re lying to me, I

won’t let you go even if I become

a ghost”

Joseph’s heart suddenly ski p ped a beat. He suddenly felt like he regretted something.

That night, Deborah had smiled at him in surprise under the moonlight, her eyes shining brightly.

But he told her such a cruel lie.

The person who always appeared in his dreams also smiled at him like that.

Her eyes were bright, and her whole body seemed to be shining.

Realizing that he was absent-minded again, Joseph suddenly came to his senses and said, “I’m not

lying to you. If I must find someone to deal with Ashton, I don’t have to find you.”

But why did Joseph just happen to find Deborah and deceive her?

Deborah stared at him and said, “I want to see Alyssa.”

Joseph took out his phone and made a video call to his man in the hospital room.

Joseph knew that he couldn’t turn back, and he suddenly hated himself for thinking that he was

regretful. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Deborah was the perfect person to deal with Ashton, Joseph’s greatest wish was to destroy the Mullen

family.

Deborah was nothing. Who was she? What did her incurable disease have to do with him?

What did it matter if Deborah hated him when she found out the truth in the future?

Joseph tried to push those strange emotions out of his mind.

Deborah was only focused on staring anxiously at the screen of his phone and impatiently grabbed it

from him.

Finally, the call was answered, and a male doctor’s face appeared, and he greeted Joseph politely.

Seeing Deborah on the screen, the doctor did not know her and was taken aback.

Joseph said, /Show her the child.”

The doctor turned the phone camera, aimed at the bed, and moved closer.

The little girl lying in the hospital bed had her eyes tightly shut.

Her small face was almost covered with gauze, only revealing a pair of closed eyes and a pale mouth.

Even the bridge of her nose was almost completely covered.

Deborah could vaguely recognize that the girl was Alyssa.

Deborah’s breathing suddenly quickened, and her eyes were red. Her voice was anxious and excited,

but she tried her best to lower her voice as if she was afraid of disturbing Alyssa

Chapter 86 Can’t Turn Back.

“Has she not woken up yet? Why hasn’t she woken up after such a long time?”

The doctor replied, “Alyssa has just undergone many treatments and surgery, so she’s exhausted. She

has been sleeping a lot lately, but she is not comatose She has woken up for over a month now.”

Deborah couldn’t help but cry as she desperately tried to suppress her so bs, hoping to keep her voice

clear.

“Is her face seriously injured? Is there any other injury? Is she in a good mood? Did she say anything?

Can she eat anything?”

After Deborah asked all the questions, the doctor replied to her one by one.

The doctor told Deborah that Alyssa’s body was no longer in danger, but her face was severely injured,

and had undergone plastic

surgery.

At present, the surgery was very successful, and all aspects of the body recovered quickly.

Joseph sat next to her, silently “Translating” the doctor’s words in his mind.

Telling Deborah that Alyssa had undergone plastic surgery because the child still did not have the

same appearance as Alyssa.

Telling Deborah that Alyssa had not woken up to prevent Deborah from detecting anything amiss.

Even though Joseph had made the child try her best to mimic Alyssa and Deborah only looked at her

through a phone screen, Joseph still felt extremely nervous.

Joseph just felt that Deborah was different; she was Alyssa’s biological mother.

She had such deep feelings and familiarity with Alyssa.

Even if the child imitated Alyssa perfectly, perhaps Deborah could still spot the mistakes in her eyes,

speech, and behavior.

Joseph couldn’t sit still anymore and got up to leave the bedroom, leaving Deborah to continue talking.

Joseph went downstairs and sat on the sofa in the living room.

After about half an hour, Deborah came downstairs.

Deborah handed the phone back to Joseph without saying a word..

Seeing Deborah keep silent, Joseph stared at his phone and felt uneasy.

Joseph was afraid Deborah would find out something wrong.
