Chapter 423: The loss

Her body instantly slumped down in defeat and a stream of tears rolled down her eyes. ’This.. this can’t be... Why don’t I feel him’ Her soul shivered at the thought of not feeling her bean inside her tummy?

It was then the dream she had seen a few days ago crossed her mind completely turning her into an alive corpse.

Sensing the movement of the bed Tristan woke up and the moment his eyes fell on Ashley, his entire world came to a standstill.

Her empty eyes stared blankly at the wall above, letting those tears flow from her eyes. He could tell that she somehow came to learn about the news.

Staring at her for a few seconds, Tristan then reached his hand and started caressing her head. As if she didn’t feel his touch and remained unfazed he then called out her name

" Ash..."

Tristan expected her to look at him but instead, he heard her cold, deadpan voice. "Where is she?"

Her words stunned him for a second but soon he understood who she was referring to. His hand caressing her head instantly stopped and he clutched his jaw in fury.

"She escaped" The moment those words left his mouth, Ashley turned her eyes toward him. An unexplainable feeling passed through her eyes as the rage inside her burned even more violently.

Her hand balled into a tight fist and she spoke words like venom," I want you to find her Tristan at any cost. She took out child away from us, and now I want you to take her life away from her"

The moment Tristan gave her a nod, she let her guard down and broke down in front of him. The child they had been waiting for died mercilessly due to Sandra’s. She didn’t think twice before ending an innocent life.

That night morn for the loss of their child but vowed to never leave the person who took him away from them.

Morning came and soon everyone came to meet Ashley in the hospital. Grace who saw how weak she looked broke into tears. She consoled her for the loss she suffered because of Sandra’s cruelty.

She knew it would be hard for her to cope with it but she had to move on. Gwen and Alice who too came to meet her tried to cheer her.

Ashley understood everyone’s concern and tried to appear normal but only she knew how difficult it was for her to force the smile and forget everything.

After everyone left, Ashley lay on the bed. Her eyes stared ahead with her palm resting on her stomach when suddenly the door of her room clicked open and Tristan entered.

Turning her head in his direction she watched him walk towards her. He was about to take the chair next to her bedside only to find her pat the space next to her.

"Come here," she said staring at him expectantly.

Heaving out a light smile, Tristan removed his shoes and hopped on the bed, sleeping next to Ashley. No matter how strong she would try to act in front of others, she would melt in his arms.

"I am glad that at least I was able to save you" Tristan spoke after a long pause.

Ashley craned her neck and watched him look at her. Though sadness lurk in his eyes, there was also a relief he emitted through them.

Pursing her lips Ashley buried her face into his chest and tightened her arms around his torso. She couldn’t utter a word and just kept hugging him.

He might try to act strong and compose, but deep down he too was breaking. A minute passed and Tristan finally let his tears roll down his eyes.

He missed talking with his child. At least in that way, he was able to connect with him. But now, everything was gone. His bean wouldn’t return to them. The loss itself was too heart-wrenching. But they had to move on.

Ashley remained quiet the entire time until Tristan finally relaxed. His steady heartbeats were able to drift her off to sleep.

Tristan stayed wide awake. His mind thinking about the news his men were able to bring to him.

"We couldn’t find her boss. She escaped even before he could reach her." those were the words he heard and that was enough to irk the deepest cell of his body.

But no matter where she hides this time, he will seize her.

Meanwhile, the news about Lucas getting killed by Gabriel’s men relieved Alice and Noah. Everyone who was supposed to be a threat to them was eliminated except for one, Dylan.

The cops were still looking for him and no matter how deeply they searched, he wasn’t found. It was as if the man had turned invisible but was still residing in the same country.

"I just hope Ashley recovers from the loss and soon gets back to her routine life," Alice said sipping the coffee from the mug.

After she returned home, she found Noah busy working. He seemed to be so engrossed in his work that she placed her bag aside and immediately prepared coffee for them.

Noah stopped typing and sighed. "She will. Both Tristan and Ashley are strong people and they will heal soon" he assured.

Alice bobbed her head in understanding when her eyes fell on the coffee mug resting next to his laptop and frowned." Why aren’t you drinking the coffee" she asked watching the untouched mug. He hasn’t even taken a sip from it.

"It’s too hot for me to drink," Noah said noticing the surprised look on her face.

Life had been too stressful for them lately, so he decided to ease up. "How about you blow it for me" he added.

"...."

Smiling at her confused face, Noah quickly too the opportunity to grab her hand and made her sit on his lap.

"This way it would be easier," he said surprising Alice even more.
