Chapter 45

Jeremy blinked nervously, staring intently at the big screen.

In the video, Ashley stood up from the chair after untying herself and walked towards unconscious

Jeremy without hesitation.

She didn’t escape on her own.

Instead, she actually planned to take Jeremy with her.

Jeremy’s eyes welled up with tears.

He hadn’t cried in years, but now, as he was watching Ashley walk towards him in the video, his eyes

stung with emotion, and even his heart trembled in great shock.

At that moment, another loud explosion echoed outside.

The house quaked again, and windows burst open.

As a result, the chandelier on the ceiling swayed and crashed down.

However, it was heading directly for Jeremy’s head.

Jeremy was still in a coma, completely unable to dodge. If the chandelier had struck his head, the

consequences would have been unimaginable.



In this critical moment, a figure swiftly flashed by. Ashley rushed over at an incredible speed and threw

herself on top of Jeremy, shielding him from the falling chandelier.

She actually protected him with her body.

The chandelier crashed onto Ashley’s back with a loud shatter. Fragments pierced through her clothes,

cutting into her back and causing blood to seep out.

The bright red color on the screen burned into Jeremy’s eyes.

Ashley would rather get hurt herself than let anything happen

to him.

He was so mean and ruthless to her, yet she protected her with everything she had.

Other people nearby were astonished, their mouths hanging open in disbelief. Some sensitive girls

almost burst into tears.

“Ashley actually…”

“She was so far from Jeremy, yet she ran over in time…”

“If the chandelier had fallen on Jeremy’s head, the outcome would have been tragic. Maybe even fatal!”

“I remember Ashley was mistreated by the Ramos family. But when danger came, she truly saw

Jeremy as family and went all out to protect him.”

“Yeah, unlike Jessica, who only cared about saving herself!”

In the video, Ashley shielded the unconscious Jeremy as the broken shards stabbed into her back. The

blood instantly oozed out and dyed her clothes red.



However, Ashley didn’t check her own injuries. Instead, she immediately looked at Jeremy lying

beneath her. Seeing that he was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ashley staggered to her feet. She had no time to tend to her wound. Instead, she reached behind her,

pulling out the pieces embedded in her skin one by one.

Witnessing this scene, the onlookers felt a collective cringe, empathizing with the pain.

Without hesitation, Ashley endured the pain and pulled out the rest of the shards. More blood gushed

out from her back.

She didn’t have time to stop the bleeding. Instead, Ashley quickly helped Jeremy up and carried him on

her back.

However, when Jeremy was lifted, Ashley suddenly frowned. Her face turned deathly pale, and she

elenched her teeth tightly, biting down on her lower lip. Her rosy lip was soon drained of any color as if

she was enduring tremendous pain.

Outside the screen, Jeremy, now filled with worry, couldn’t understand what was happening.

“What happened?” He asked himself.

A perceptive girl suddenly spoke up.

“It’s Ashley’s back! There’s a piece of shard that she didn’t pull out. I noticed it just now. So when she

carried Jeremy on her back…”



“Oh, dear!” Another girl covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock. “When she carried Jeremy. the

shard on her back was subjected to external pressure. Doesn’t that mean…it all pierced into her body?”

“The entire shard went into her body? Who could endure that!”

“Although I’m a tough guy. I can’t possibly endure that. Ashley is just a delicate girl…”

“At that time, Ashley truly considered Jeremy as her brother…”

Listening to the discussions around him, Jeremy felt a suffocating pain in his chest, as if a thick sponge

was blocking his breath.

Ashley once truly considered him as her family. Despite the pain in her back, she still carried him,

determined to escape together..

However, Jeremy had never shown any kindness to Ashley.

Jeremy stared at the video on the screen, his eyes burning red. He had never hated himself so deeply.

In the video, Ashley, looking frail and weak, carried Jeremy on her back while enduring the p

pain piercing into her.

She was bleeding badly, and her blood drops kept dripping to the ground.

While carrying Jeremy out of the room, Ashley left a crimson trail along the path she walked.

Even in such agony, Ashley never abandoned Jeremy, persistently carrying him to safety.

Seeing the blood trail behind Ashley, witnessing her enduring the intense pain, and observing her

steadfast determination to carry him, Jeremy couldn’t hold back his tears any longer.



Overwhelming self–blame and regret swept over him, leaving a sharp pain in his heart.

It was Ashley who saved him.

She tugged him back from the claws of Death.

Ashley was willing to endure injuries and risked her life just to save him.

Jeremy couldn’t help but recall what he had done to his kind–hearted sister.

He had despised her, hated her, scolded her, abused her, trampling her sincere heart into the dust.

Jeremy staggered backward, covering his chest in agony. It felt like his heart was being squeezed

tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Chapter 45

‘I’m such a bastard, Jeremy scolded himself, I’m such a horrible creature, even worse than an

animal!‘

Tears blurred Jeremy’s vision as he turned to look at Jessica, his eyes filled with intense

disappointment and hatred.

“Jessica, you claimed you saved me back then. How dare you! How dare you tell such lies!” He roared.

“Jeremy, I didn’t…” Jessica shook her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face. Pointing at the

big screen, Jeremy angrily shouted, “The video is right here, yet you still deny it! Ashley was the one



who saved me, and you were the one who ran away! Jessica, how could you shamelessly steal

Ashley’s credit?”

Jeremy, please listen to me,” Jessica sobbed, her face stained with tears, presenting a pitiful

appearance.

She still wanted to portray herself as weak and pitiable, just like before. However…

A sharp slap echoed through the air.

Jeremy slapped Jessica mercilessly.

“Do you still want to argue? The proof is right here. What else do you have to argue about?” Jeremy

seethed with anger, breathing rapidly.

“Jessica, when I woke up from my coma, you told me that it was you who saved me. You even claimed

that Ashley had abandoned me and escaped on her own. How could you have the audacity to say such

things? How could you be so malicious!”
