Trial Of The Senses

Since the fight that night, it seemed that there was an invisible line between Jasper and Ashley. They only had nodding acquaintance occasionally. They had little verbal communication other than necessary work.

Ashley had been worried that Jasper might banish her in a fit of anger, or there might be any other way to deal with her. However, it was obviously unnecessary for her to worry about that. Jasper didn't want to banish her at all. In addition to that, Jasper had even arranged a movie for her to shoot next year. The movie was invested by Shengshi Group. Sean was the leading actor and Ashley was the heroine.

The news about her and Dylan were still spreading quickly on the Internet. She was quietly recuperating from her illness at home, and she didn't go anywhere, nor did she read the outside news. She needed to take care of herself as soon as possible. There were still many works waiting for her to do, and people waiting for her to deal with.

Three days later, Ashley received a call from a private detective.

"Miss Ashley, Sheila has been wandering around your father's ward recently. Just now, Sheila was disguised to the hospital in two ways and then entered the lady's room. When she came out, she changed into a nurse's uniform. I feel that something is wrong, so I have to report to you."

Hearing this, Ashley frowned. She couldn't help but wonder what on earth did Sheila want to do. She had observed Samuel nearby for a long time, and now she was disguised as a nurse.

"Miss Ashley, I have a guess. Although it is not on purpose, I have been a private detective for so many years. My sixth sense is still correct."

"What guess? Please tell me."

"I am sure that Sheila's real purpose is your father. Since she observe your father and was in disguising herself, she should have escaped the bodyguards at the door and slipped into the ward. Sheila has been trying to raise money and hire a lawyer. Why does she come to the ward at this time? There is no cash or cheque in the ward."

Ashley frowned and guessed, "Threatening my father to give her money?"

"I'm afraid it's even more serious than this. According to you, last time when Sheila asked for money from your father, he was refused sternly. I don't think that Sheila will ask your father for money directly. Maybe... " After taking a pause, he continued, "She might want to have the heritage."

The room was as warm as spring, and Ashley broke out in a cold sweat.

"Miss Ashley?"

"…… Okay, I see. I'll call the bodyguards at the door and tell them to keep an eye on the nurses passing by. The people in the room will also be alerted. Thank you very much."

After calling the bodyguards and Betty, Ashley sat on the bed and was in a daze for a while. Perhaps it was because his guess was too powerful that she was in a trance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

At ten o'clock, the alarm on the bedside table rang, reminding her to go to bed. Startled by the sudden alarm clock, Ashley covered her thumping chest with her hand and finally came back to her mind. She had to go to the hospital for a check.

Thinking of this, she got out of bed, dressed and went out with her bag.

On the way downstairs, she happened to meet Jasper who was coming out of the study

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

long drag.

Ashley adjusted the seat, lied on it and fell asleep. Perhaps it was because she was too tired that she fell asleep very quickly in such a nervous moment before a storm. By the time when Jasper finished his cigarette and got into the car, she had fallen into a deep sleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept. A pleasant ringtone woke her up. She sat up abruptly, fumbled for her mobile phone and answered it. "Hello, how's it going?"

"Miss Ashley, Sheila is restless on the floor where your father is in hospital. She is about to attack him!"

"Okay, I see. I'm coming now." After hanging up the phone, she turned her head sideways to look at the other side. At this moment, Jasper was already sitting up. "Mr. Jasper, something might be wrong."

Sheila hesitated at this moment. Killing was a threshold for one, and killing his biological father was a decision breaking the psychological limit. Sheila was so panic stricken that two directions of handkerchiefs were put in her pocket. One of them was soaked with a strong smell of disinfectant and the other one was wetted with the bathroom liquid. All of them were picked from the hospital.

The clock was getting closer and closer and she had little time left. Gloria was still waiting for her to find a lawyer in the police station while Samuel was seriously ill. He would die sooner or later even if she didn't do that.

Sheila looked at the clock on the wall. It was 1:45, almost 2 a.m. Sheila closed her eyes and clenched her teeth. She would rather give Samuel a quick end so that he would not suffer from the disease and torture every day.

She didn't think too much. She took a deep breath and walked towards Samuel's ward after her face was covered by a mask. There were patients' families lingering in the corridor, and nurses calling. Everything was as usual.

With hands in her pockets, Sheila walked all the way to the doorway of Samuel's ward. Before she walked into the ward confidently, she was surprised to find that there used to be two bodyguards at the doorway, but today there was one bodyguard at the doorway. Without thinking too much, she gently pushed the door open and walked in.
