Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 198

Valentin suddenly stood up from the couch.

Joseph was almost startled. “Valentin, what are you doing?”

Valentin said, “Goodbye.”

Joseph was confused.

He thought, ‘When did I say I’m leaving? I still want to eat here.

However, the next second, Valentin had turned to walk upstairs. ruthlessly.

At this time, Ashley had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair. Valentin knocked on the

door and came in. He naturally took the hair dryer from her hand and skillfully helped her dry her hair.

Valentin’s fingers were running through her blonde hair and massaging gently.

Ashley’s eyes narrowed in comfort.

After drying her hair, Ashley casually asked, “Why are you up here?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Valentin reached out and hugged her, resting and rubbing his chin

on the top of her soft and fragrant hair. “Come and rest with you.”

Ashley blinked. “Yeah, you really should get some rest. You’re too busy every day.”

He released her and looked down at her, raising his eyebrows lightly, his casual voice transmitting

pleasure. “Baby, you’re caring about me?”

Ashley lifted her chin arrogantly. “For the sake of you taking me out for fun, I’ll reluctantly care about

you!”

Valentin chuckled, with a particular kind of sexiness. “Then, to repay your concern, I’ll take a nap with

you.”

He opened his arms and said in a lazy tone, “Come on. Help me undress.” Ashley was speechless.

L

She thought, ‘Is this his way of repaying?”

Ryan went to the hospital to visit Bertha.

Bertha was sitting on the hospital bed. Her complexion seemed better, but she still couldn’t be

discharged from the hospital.

Jessica and Charlie were here to accompany her, and Evan was still dealing with the mess of the

Ramos Group.

“Mom,” Ryan asked with a frown as he sat in a chair next to the bed, peeling an apple with a fruit knife.

“When I injured my right leg earlier, our family found a top international surgeon. That doctor didn’t

agree to operate on me at first, so why did he suddenly agree?”

“Ryan, why do you suddenly ask this?” Bertha was puzzled.

“I just thought of this problem accidentally. Mom, please tell me.”

“There is no reason. The Ramos family hadn’t fallen from grace at that time. That doctor would surely

agree to treat you for the sake of the Ramos family.”

Ryan, however, frowned and thought, If for the sake of the Ramos family, why didn’t he agree to

operate on my leg in the first place?’

He suddenly thought it was wrong, so he came to the hospital today to ask Bertha.

At this time, Charlie asked in a faint voice, “Ryan, did your leg injury recur? Why are you asking this

suddenly?”

“No, Charlie. Don’t worry.” Ryan shook his head.

“Ryan, I’m glad you’re okay!” Jessica poured a glass of water and brought it over, “Ryan, the Ramos

family is like this because of me. You mustn’t have another incident.”

Ryan felt uncomfortable. “Jessica, stop talking nonsense. What does the Ramos family falling from

grace have to do with you?”

“Ashley targeted the Ramos family so much because of me. If…” Jessica’s eyes reddened, and tears

instantly welled up.

It was very heartbreaking for Ryan to see her cry. “Jessica, stop bullshitting. It’s clearly Ashley’s fault.

She’s the one who doesn’t know right from wrong and could hit her family so hard.”

Chapter 198

Glancing at Ryan and then at Jessica, Charlie didn’t say anything.

Jessica cried and threw herself in front of Bertha’s hospital bed. “Mom, you’d better let me leave the

Ramos family! If I leave the Ramos family, maybe Ashley will calm down and won’t target the Ramos

family… After all, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t be greedy for your love.”

“Silly girl, stop talking nonsense!” Bertha hurriedly held Jessica’s ha “The Ramos family’s current

downfall is all because of Ashley, that vermin! I wish I never had her as a daughter! Jessica, don’t ever

say anything about leaving the Ramos family again. Are you trying to break my heart?”

“But Mom…”

“Jessica, I will never allow you to leave the Ramos family either!” Ryan put down the apple he was

peeling and held Jessica’s shoulders. “You’ll always be a member of the Ramos family. If Ashley dares

to bully you in the future, I’ll break her legs!”

“Ryan… Jessica burst into tears.

“Alright, stop crying, my silly sister…”

Ryan transferred another 20 thousand dollars to Jessica for her allowance. Seeing her finally break into

laughter, he was upset.

He thought, ‘The Ramos family was never so frugal before we fell from grace. I gave Jessica a million

dollars at a time for allowance. Now I’m… It’s all Ashley’s fault.

After leaving the hospital, Ryan made a phone call to Ashley and found. out that he had been blocked.

He was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger.

After calming down, Ryan searched the Internet for the doctor who operated on him. To his surprise, he

found out that the doctor was currently giving a seminar in Kilos City.

The doctor’s name was Nell Pound.

Ryan inquired about the hotel Nell was staying at and drove there immediately.

But he didn’t know the room number Nell was staying in, and the hotel receptionist wouldn’t disclose it

freely.

Chapter 198

Ryan had to wait outside the hotel. Finally, in the evening, he waited for Nell to come out of the hotel

and immediately walked over. “Hello, Mr. Pound! I’m Ryan. You operated on my right leg before!”

Nell was deeply impressed with the name Ryan and looked him up and down several times. “Your leg

injury recurred?”

“No, I came over today because I had a question for you!”

“What’s the question?”

Ryan took a deep breath and said seriously, “When I injured my right leg, you were initially reluctant to

operate on me but then suddenly agreed. Why is that?”
