So, she no longer wished to engage in futile resistance.

“Dylan already briefed me on the situation. Ashley had you taken out of the hospital, intending for Mrs. Taylor to punish you. But due to a twist of fate, Ashley suffered a miscarriage instead. However, I’m curious: why would Ashley target you for no apparent reason?”

“Why would she assist Mrs. Taylor? Just because Cathy accidentally bumped into her before? Ashley’s grudge seems excessive.”

Cathy pursed her lips. “Ashley and Harry believe that you arranged for me to be in the hospital intentionally to harm her. And they even wanted me to confess under duress.”

That made sense.

Gina frowned. “I’ve implicated you.”

Miss Miller, don’t

Cathy shook her head hastily. “No, Miss Miller, don’t say that. You’ve been kind to me, and it’s not your fault. They’re just malicious.”

Gina responded calmly, “Objectively speaking, I have implicated you. But rest assured, I’ll make them apologize to you”

Worried that Gina might face consequences, Cathy hurriedly said, “Miss Miller, I’m fine, I don’t need an apology. Compensation is enough for me.”

“You deserve both compensation and an apology. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they apologize to you willingly.” Gina said lightly.

Cathy wanted to say more but was interrupted by Gina. “Do you doubt my abilities?”

“Not a chance,” Cathy shook her head once more.

“Then you just wait for my good news,” Gina said.

Cathy could only nod in response.

Afterward, Gina Left Cathy’s room and approached Dylan, who was waiting at the door. “Where’s Ashley’s ward?”

Dylan replied, “They checked out two hours ago.”

Gina nodded understandingly. “You go ahead and attend to your tasks.”

“Alright,” Dylan said before turning away.

As Gina headed toward the hospital’s exit, she dialed Gabriel instead of contacting Ashley and her family directly.

Seeing Gina’s call, Gabriel momentarily set aside his current duties and answered the phone. “Gina?”

Gabriel’s voice carried a cheerful tone.

“Could you replace out where Ashley is? I’ve got some business to settle with them,” Gina requested.

“Sure thing.” Gabriel agreed, though reluctant to end the call so soon after speaking brielly with Gina, Nevertheless, he had to hang up to fulfill her request. He then dialed Ashley’s number.

Weakened and on the verge of boarding her flighy, Ashley was taken aback by Gabriel’s unexpected call. She thought, Was it possible that Gabriel had learned about her miscarriage and was offering condolences? But she hadn’t confided in Neil about it. Could Gabriel have found out from Harry instead?”

Ast

As the phone rang, about to disconnect, Ashley finally returned to attention and answered, “Gabriel?”

“it’s unusual for you to call,” Ashley remarked.

Getting straight to the point, Gabriel said, “You and Harry stirred up trouble at Gina’s hospital. So, I’m calling to ask, where are you all now?”

$.40%

Ashley was caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Gabriel’s call to be an interrogation. Filled with a sudden surge of anger, she retorted, “That Cathy is as stubborn as they come. She won’t admit she was acting under Gina’s orders to cause my miscarriage. If she wasn’t Gina’s pawn, why would Gina be so quick to have you come to demand an explanation for her pawn?”

-Gabriel, do you know what Gina has done to me this time? She’s ruined my life, Gabriel. I might never have a chance to be a mother. Are you still going

to stand up for Gina?”

Ashley’s voice quivered with emotion as tears streaked down her face. Harry gently took her phone from her hand, unable to see Ashley in distress.

“Gabriel, if you’re not calling to check on Ashley, then we have nothing more to discuss. The matter is resolved. It’s proven that Cathy indirectly caused Ashley’s miscarriage. Yes, I hit her, but I compensated her with a hefty sum of 100 thousand dollars! Isn’t that enough? Does Cathy think she’s worth 4 million dollars just because I slapped her twice?”

Harry purposely mentioned Cathy’s name in front of Ashley, fearing that Gabriel might misunderstand and think he insulted Gina. Although he did harbor ill feelings toward Gina, he also dreaded the possibility of Gabriel confronting him and forcing him out of the circle of shareholders.

“And now, we’re boarding a flight to Mosnica. The hospital where Gina is is giving us some concerning news. It appears Ashley may face challenges conceiving in the future. So, I’m taking Ashley to seek out the most specialized and top–notch medical treatment.”

“That’s all!” With that, Harry promptly ended the call and powered down Ashley’s phone, as well as his own, to prevent Gabriel from reaching them.

As boarding time approached, Ashley sat in a wheelchair, and Harry personally wheeled her onto the plane.

Though Gabriel immediately dispatched David to the airport to locate them, he was too late; the plane had already departed.

Gabriel called Gina to inform her that Harry had taken Ashley out of the country. Upon hearing the news, Gina remained composed. “It’s fine. They’ll

come back to me.”

Upon reaching Mosnioca, Ashley, and Harry, they spared no expense in consulting Jett Dawson, a renowned fertility specialist

After thorough examinations at the hospital where Jett served, his expression turned grave. “Mr. Jackson, I’m truly sorry, Ashley’s uterus is severely damaged. I’m powerless to heal it.”

Harry, receiving the same grim news, instinctively clenched his fists. However, being in a foreign land, he restrained himself from acting out. With a gloomy expression, he asked, “Mr. Dawson, as a leading specialist in fertility, do you truly have no solution?”

Jett, equally frustrated, responded, “Mr. Jackson, even if you think I’m incompetent, if you don’t trust me, you’re free to seek other experts for Ashley’s treatment. But if they claim to have a solution, I’ll retire from the medical field!”

Harry was speechless. He suddenly felt lost, wondering if bringing Ashley to Mosniaca had any meaning at all

“However,” Jett continued, “if Miss Jackson is determined to become a mother, there are still possibilities…

Ashley cut in abruptly, her tone resolute. “You’re not suggesting surrogacy, are you?”

Ashley couldn’t bear the thought of having a child born from someone else’s womb, even if it shared her genetic material

Jett’s expression turned grave. “No, Miss Jackson, you misunderstand me. I do not support surrogacy.”
