Chapter 704 - Captive (1/2)

Wiping her tears away, Elsa smiled, ”Thanks.”

”Do you want to eat something?” Without waiting for her reply, Ashton added, ”Hmm hold on, I'll get something for you to eat.”

”It's alright, I am not hungry.”

”How come you are not hungry? You haven't eaten anything since yesterday. Have you realized how skinny you look? You shouldn't skip meals, it's not good for your health.”

”Mr Wu I—”

Cutting her off, he said, ”You can call me Ashton or Ash.”

”Hmm, I just wanted to thank you for saving me yesterday. If you hadn't brought me here then Alvin's men would've definitely found me.” Only thinking about what would've happened if Alvin's men managed to find her before Ashton gave Elsa goosebumps all over her body. She was horrified and scared of the consequences she would have to face if Alvin ever qqmanages to drag her back to that hell.

When Ashton saw her shoulders shiver, he sat down beside her and tried to pacify her. ”Hey, don't worry about anything okay? I promise I won't let him harm you from now onwards. I'll make sure that he stays far away from you and never bugs you in the future. I know we just met briefly in the past but I swear Elsa, you can trust me. I'll protect you at any cost.” Ashton had already made up his mind to help her out and protect her with everything that he was. He didn't know why he wanted to do it but his heart was urging him to do so. He didn't know whether it was out of humanity or something else but he wanted to, his heart wanted to.

”You saved me Ashton, you already have my trust.” Why wouldn't she trust someone who saved her life? If he wasn't a kind person, wouldn't he just leave her there in the middle of the road to die?

”Ahh, you are finally awake.” Walking towards her, Mian gestured Ashton to move aside.

Sitting beside her, Mian started checking her vitals. ”How are you feeling now?”

”She is saying that she isn't feeling hungry but that shouldn't happen right? I mean she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday so—”

Cutting Ashton off, Mian asked, ”Ash, are you hungry?”

”No.”

”Hmm, then why are you talking so much?” Turning toward Elsa, Mian added, ”He talks too much when he is hungry so don't mind him.”

Elsa chuckled and nodded his head.

Just then Liyang entered the room and gestured Ashton to come out.

When Ashton gave her a look, Mian nodded her head. ”Hmm, I already know what to do.”

After flashing a smile at Elsa, he walked out of the room.

”What happened?” Elsa asked.

”You brother is here to get his ass kicked.”

Living room

Sitting on the couch, Alvin Churos was impatiently shaking his legs, helplessly watching the police officers he had brought with him to take away his sister from the Li mansion munching snacks that were being served.
