Chapter 79 Suspect Helen

Deborah heard Ashton’s footsteps approaching the bathroom, but she still grabbed the sink without any

response.

She didn’t even have the strength to stand up straight. If it weren’t for Alyssa, Deborah would have tried

to suicide.

Compared to living in pain and enduring a dying life, death was the best choice for her now

Ashton quickly walked to the door of the bathroom. He said in a deep voice, “If you have any illness,

you don’t need to go to Mullen Group. You’d better stay at home and maintain good health.”

Deborah immediately reached out, turned on the faucet, and flushed the vomit.

When Ashton walked into the bathroom, there was nothing in the sink. But there was still a strange

smell in the air.

He frowned, looked at Deborah, and asked, “What are you doing bending over the sink?”

There was water in the sink. Deborah was still bending over. Her pajamas were wet.

Deborah still didn’t move. “It has nothing to do with you. Get out.”

Actually, she had never hidden her illness from Ashton.

Because Deborah knew that he wouldn’t care about her, so there was nothing to hide her illness from

him.

On the day when she was diagnosed with liver cancer, she gave Ashton the diagnosis report as soon

as she left the hospital.

Later, Deborah felt uncomfortable. Ashton had asked her several times. She told him she got liver

cancer.

Besides, she answered him truthfully when she got up and came to the bathroom just now.

But Ashton always thought she was talking nonsense. He didn’t believe her words at all.

Ashton approached her and leaned over to look at her pale face. “Are you really serious? Why does it

smell like blood?”

Deborah didn’t say anything else. She was exhausted, so she closed her eyes.

Ashton reached out to pull her up. “Stand up. Go back and lay on the bed.”

Deborah vomited hard just now. As soon as she closed her eyes, she couldn’t control herself. Then,

she fell into a

semi-consciousness.

Ashton pulled her. But Deborah did not move. She bent over the sink without responding to him as if

she was dead.

Ashton put forth his strength and pulled her again. “Go back to the bedroom. You look weak. I’ll take

you to the hospital tomorrow.”

Ashton pulled Deborah up. She couldn’t stand still. The next second, she fell to the side.

Ashton’s face darkened. He immediately reached out and held her. “Don’t pretend to be dead. Stand

still!* Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Ashton held her shoulders. Deborah didn’t respond. She followed his strength and fell to him weakly.

Ashton couldn’t believe Deborah could fall asleep in a few seconds.

He thought she was pretending to be weak, so he carried her back to the bed and called her for a long

time. But Deborah still didn’t respond at all.

‘She doesn’t have a fever. Maybe she is just asleep.”

Thinking of this, Ashton leaned close to her lips and smelled it. There was a smell of blood.

Ashton didn’t believe Deborah vomited blood Just now.

Deborah fell asleep. But Ashton looked at her and could not sleep.

Somehow, he always felt uneasy whenever he looked at Deborah as if the accident would happen.

Ashton felt uneasy and imitated.

When he was nearly asleep, he vaguely heard a loud noise outside.

After a while, the noise became louder and clearer.

It seemed to be Jeff’s voice.

Jeff had a calm temperament.

It was early morning. If nothing serious, Jeff wouldn’t have made such a loud noise.

Ashton got up, put on his coat, and went out.

The voice came from the study room, mingled with Helen’s voice

Ashton walked over with a sullen face and heard Jeff’s angry voice. “Ms. Bauer, stop making a

pretense of ignorance. It’s early morning now. You said you entered the study because you thought Mr.

Mullen was in the study. Do you think your explanation makes

sense?”

Ashton approached them and heard the two of them talking without saying a word.

When Helen saw Ashton coming, the grievance on her face immediately became more intense. Tears

rolled down her cheeks in an

instant

“Ashton, I thought you were in the study. I didn’t find you in your bedroom. The study’s door is open,

and even the light is on, so i

entered the study.”

Ashton asked Helen with a sullen face. “What are you doing in the study?”

Helen choked with so bs. I suddenly had severe pain in my legs. I thought it might be because I didn’t

go to the hospital to recuperate after the amputation. I was worried that something was wrong with the

wound, so I wanted to come to you to ask for help.”

Ashton looked at her hand. “What are you holding?”

Helen showed the mobile phone in her hand and said, “It’s my mobile phone.”

Ashton’s expression remained cold. “You came to see me in the middle of the night. Why do you still

have your cell phone?”

Helen felt wronged. She explained, “I wanted to go to the hospital with you. When I pushed the

wheelchair out, I took my mobile phone. I need to use the mobile phone when we go to the hospital.”

Ashton glanced at Jeff. Jeff immediately understood his meaning. He walked toward Helen and said,

“Ms. Bauer, please give me

your phone.”

Helen’s eyes were full of tears. She unlocked the screen lock and then handed it over.

Jeff checked the chat history and photo album. There was nothing wrong

Ashton looked at the surveillance camera at the door and told Jeff, ‘Go and check the surveillance

video. Remember to check the

previous video together.”

About a month ago, Ashton bumped into Helen and Deborah at the study’s door.

He also saw that the document had been taken out from the drawer and dropped on the floor.

Deborah told him that it was Helen who had entered the study. But Helen said that it was Deborah who

had taken the documents out.

At that time, Ashton planned to check the surveillance video, but Deborah lost control of her emotions

when she learned about Alyssa’s death.

After that, Deborah took Helen to the rooftop and pushed her down. It resulted in a miscarriage and the

amputation of Helen’s legs.

Everything was in chaos these days. Ashton also forgot about the surveillance.

But now, he remembered it again.

Jeff nodded and immediately went to check the surveillance video during this period.

After Jeff left, there were only Helen and Ashton. Ashton stood outside the study, kept a distance from

Helen, and stared at her

coldly.

It seemed that ever since Ernest had been investigated, Ashton couldn’t help suspecting Helen. His

trust in her plummeted.

If he hadn’t cared about his previous affection for Helen and saving his life, he would have chosen to let

Helen leave in case of the accident.
