Ashton frowned slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
Ann showing up here was rather a surprise to me. I didn’t plan to meet her, but since she came to me, I had no choice but to let her in.
I was slightly taken aback at meeting her this time. She had been visiting me at the hospital, but I didn’t really pay attention to her. Now that she was here in front of me, I collected my thoughts and looked at her closely.
How should I phrase this?
She was rather different from the first time I saw her in the cattle sheds. At that time, her eyes were filled with timidness and she looked dazed. However, this time, it seemed her timidness was replaced by determination.
I looked at her and stayed silent for a while before asking, “What’s the matter?”
She lifted her gaze at Ashton, and her eyes flickered. I was all too familiar with her gaze. The girl must be stunned to see the handsome man. I knew how attractive Ashton was, so I didn’t bother to stop her.
Ann turned to me and pondered for a while. “Ms. Stovall, thank you for saving my life. I’ll remember what you did for me, and I’ll repay your kindness.”
I pursed my lips and waited for her to continue.
As expected, she fell silent for a while before continuing, “Ms. Stovall, I’m grateful to you. I know your daughter is waiting for surgery, and I heard you adopted my sister. I hope you can treat her well and hopefully she can help your daughter.”
I frowned as she was beating around the bush. Pursing my lips, I urged, “Stop wasting time and get to the point.”
She froze and took a deep breath before kneeling down on the floor. “Ms. Stovall, I know I shouldn’t look for you, but I don’t have a choice. I don’t know who I should find except you.”
