Chapter 39 Deborah, Come With Me?

The sales tady noticed Deborah did not respond and pushed her impatiently

Deborah was afraid Alyssa would fall, so she could only stand up and leave with Alyssa in her arms.

“Baby, baby, don’t be afraid Mommy will take you home.”

The sky was completely dark. Deborah was walking aimlessly on the street with flashing neon lights.

The ice and snow had yet to melt in the blink of an eye, it was raining heavily again. Alyssa was

shivering in Deborah’s arms, and Alyssa’s little face was blue from the cold.

Deborah walked and stopped. When she noticed a man passing by was leering at her, she immediately

walked farther away from the

road.

She was almost walking next to the shops on the side of the street, slowly.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. It hit Deborah’s body and face like ice dregs. Her face and

neck quickly turned numb from

the cold.

The cold winter wind and the rain slowly made her head clear.

Alyssa, who was in Deborah’s arms, was breathing weakly. Deborah’s body was stiff, and she was

finally sober.

Deborah stood on the street blankly and did not understand what was wrong with her. Why did she

come here with Alyssa?

A taxi passed by her, and Deborah immediately reached out to stop it.

Alyssa was in a bad condition, so Deborah had to go to the hospital.

After she tried several times, a taxi reluctantly stopped beside Deborah.

However, the driver did not unlock the door. Looking at Deborah’s disheveled hair and messy clothes,

he only opened the window and handed out a QR code with some disgust. “Pay first. Where are we

going?”

Deborah felt so cold that her voice trembled. “The People’s Hospital.”

As she spoke, she took out her phone to scan the code. The driver told her the price, but she found

there was not enough balance in

her account.

Confused, Deborah exited the payment interface and tapped on the balance. Unexpectedly, there was

no money in it.

She had thought even though she did not have much money left, it should be enough to pay for the

fare.

Deborah did not know what was going on and looked at the driver in embarrassment. “Can you drive

me to the hospital first? Il pay”

later.”

The driver closed the window and stepped on the accelerator.

Deboral

ed her fingers into her palms in embarrassment and anxiety. After hesitating for a moment, she called

her mother.

Lydia picked up the phone. She lost money from playing cards. So, she vented her anger at Deborah.

“Brat, I was winning, but your call ruined my luck! What do you want?”

Deborah said anxiously, “Mom, can you lend me some money? I really need it now…”

Lydia sold Deborah’s house but did not give her a single cent.

Lydia was annoyed. “I don’t have any money! I was really stupid back then. Why did I take you in…?”

Lydia realized what she had just said and stopped abruptly. Then, she hung up the phone in a panic.

Deborah was anxious and did not listen carefully to what Lydia had said.

When she heard the sound of the call ending, Deborah called again. Sure enough, Lydia blocked her

number again.

Deborah did not think too much about it and called her father Devon.

Devon quickly answered the call, and his tone was unexpectedly nice. “Debby, why did you call me?”

Deborah no longer cared about her hatred for the Bauer family and replied humbly, “Dad, can you lend

me some money? I have an

urgent need and will return it to you as soon as possible.”

Devon said in a distressed tone, “Child, why are you begging me? I am your father. I just arrived at Mr.

Mullen’s place and heard you

and Helen were sick. I am very worried.

“Why did you run out with Alyssa? It’s cold outside. Be good and come back quickly.”

Deborah realized Devon was most likely acting in front of Ashton.

Since Ashton was there, no matter what, he would definitely not let Devon give her money.

Deborah clenched her phone, and Devon continued to persuade her, “If you lack money or something

else, why don’t you just ask

Ashton for it?

“You are married. If I give you money, people will think Ashton mistreats you. I don’t want to sow

discord between you two.”

Deborah couldn’t stand it anymore and hung up the phone.

Cars were coming and going on the streets. Alyssa groaned in Deborah’s arms in pain. Deborah didn’t

know who else to talk to or

what to do.

She hesitated whether she should go back to Flora Villa. Even if she went back, Ashton would probably

not care about Alyssa’s life because he was angry.

While Deborah was thinking, a familiar white car appeared in her sight and sped past her.

Deborah instinctively wanted to call out to the person in the car. It was Zayne’s car.

Inside the car, Zayne and Theo sat in the back seat. The driver worked for the Gaige family.

When passing by Deborah, Zayne also noticed her and immediately said anxiously, “Stop the car!”

Theo said in a deep voice, “Continue driving. You are not allowed to stop.”

The driver looked at the car window awkwardly. In the end, he followed Theo’s instructions and

continued driving.

Zayne looked angry. “Dad, didn’t you see Deborah holding Alyssa? They must have been bullied by

Ashton again. How can I turn a blind eye to it?”

Theo didn’t show mercy. “Zayne, it’s not that I don’t want you to help her, but you saw what happened

in the Gaige family recently.

“Your mother’s and my future are not important, but you are still young, and your career has just

started. We can afford to offend

1. Lean’t watch your life be ruined.”

some

Zayne angrily looked at the driver in front of him. “One last time, I said stop the car!”

The driver looked a little scared. Although he did not stop the car, he could not help but slow down a

little hesitantly.

Zayne’s face was sullen, and he directly opened the door.

The driver was shocked and immediately stepped on the brakes.

Zayne pushed open the door and got out of the car, but the car still moved ahead for a while.

As soon as Zayne got out of the car, he quickly stopped a taxi and turned around to look for Deborah.

Deborah was still standing in the same place. She was sure Zayne saw her but then watched his car

leave.

A trace of disappointment flashed through her heart. She quickly came back to her senses. She had

harmed the Gaige family enough. How could she still be so selfish and want Zayne to help her?

It would be better if he left. Why would she need to drag another person down?

Although Deborah thought this way, she still felt her heart turn cold.

Looking around, she really didn’t know where to go.

Her phone was turned off. She unbuttoned her coat and wrapped Alyssa tightly. She turned around and

continued walking forward.

After walking for some time, a Benz passed by her and soon turned back.

The car stopped beside her, and the rear window opened, revealing Joseph’s smiling face. “It really is

you.”

Deborah glanced sideways at him. The memories of him carrying her to the hotel room that night and

being pressed on the sofa by him flooded into her mind.

Her face turned pale, and she immediately continued to walk forward.

Joseph’s car followed her slowly. There was a hint of ridicule in his voice. “You really aren’t coming with

me?”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
