Chapter 185 She Wants Me to Die

Outside the emergency room, quite a few people were standing.

Deborah hurriedly ran down the hallway and from a distance, she spotted Rebecca and Alyssa.

Alyssa leaned against the wall, while Rebecca stood in front of her, excitedly talking to her about

something and stuffing a piece of paper and a pen into her hand.

It seemed as if someone was trying to force Alyssa to sign something. Alyssa’s expression showed

resistance, and she was unwilling to

accept it.

In addition to the two of them, Hector also came over.

People over 80 years old, leaning on their walking sticks, wear a face full of worry and concern.

Deborah hurried closer, finally hearing Rebecca’s voice clearly. “You don’t need to worry about all these

details. As long as you sign and agree to donate bone marrow, I can find a way to talk to the doctor.”

Alyssa, with a cold expression, said, “Rebecca, calm down. I’m underage, so my signature won’t be

valid. Besides, I’ve already told you, I’m

not willing to do it.”

Rebecca raised her voice angrily, “It’s not your concern whether your signature is valid or not. I said I

would figure it out. He’s your father, and the bone marrow in your body came from him. What right do

you have to refuse?”

Hector, standing to the side, grew impatient. With a cold expression, he directly gave a signal to the

bodyguard beside him.

“Why waste so much time talking to a child! Since her bone marrow can save Ashton, let’s just take her

to the doctor right now and have

her donate the bone marrow!”

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard headed straight towards Alyssa.

Rebecca saw Hector ordering someone to take action and instinctively tried to stop him.

Deborah quickly stepped forward and pulled Alyssa to her side with one swift motion.

Several bodyguards immediately tried to sn*tch the person from Deborah’s hands, but Joseph stopped

them.

Hector came over with two bodyguards, who were quite skilled themselves.

The two bodyguards, seeing Joseph blocking their way, immediately started fighting with him.

Rebecca stepped forward with a serious expression, trying to stop the argument. “Enough! Let’s

discuss this calmly, Isn’t it embarrassing

to fight like this in public?”

Joseph held one of the bodyguard’s arms with one hand, clearing his line of sight to glance at her,

“What are you trying to do, pretending

to show off?”

Rebecca’s face stiffened, and she became somewhat annoyed and embarrassed, “W-What do you

mean!”

Joseph couldn’t be bothered to look at her anymore. “You know exactly what I mean,” he said.

Rebecca’s face turned pale, then flushed. “I brought Alyssa here just to show her how serious her

father’s condition is right now.

Regarding the bone marrow donation, I have no intention of forcing her. If she doesn’t agree and

doesn’t sign, I absolutely won’t do

anything.”

No one listened to her anymore.

Joseph and the two bodyguards fought fiercely, with both sides suffering significant injuries..

Joseph was already in a difficult situation, facing two opponents by himself.

Not long ago, I had just fought with Adrian, and I was injured. My strength was almost depleted.

Soon, medical staff came over and tried to stop them verbally.

After pulling Alyssa close to her, Deborah anxiously comforted her, fearing that Alyssa might have been

frightened.

Only now, as she saw a large group of doctors and nurses approaching, did she notice that Joseph had

started fighting with the

bodyguard.

In the corridor, quite a few patients and their families had come out, gathering around to watch the

scene as if it were a monkey show.

Deborah immediately took Alyssa’s hand and hurriedly said, “Let’s go.”

Joseph had a few more cuts on his face and hands. Hearing Deborah speak, he snapped back to

reality, retracted his hand, and followed

her.

The two bodyguards on the ground struggled to get up, but Alyssa couldn’t just leave like this.

Hector’s face looked terrible as he coldly scolded, “Enough, what’s the point in chasing anymore?”

Everyone has been knocked down; can we still gain an advantage by catching up?

Rebecca felt guilty and didn’t have the confidence to stop it anymore.

No sooner had Deborah left than the door to the emergency room opened behind her.

Inside, Ashton lay on the wheeled bed, which was then pushed out.

His gaze quickly fell upon the retreating figures of Deborah and her companions.

Immediately, his icy gaze turned towards Rebecca and Hector as they approached.

“Did you guys call me over?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Rebecca sneered, “So what? You’re in this state, can’t they come and see you?”

Ashton glared at her angrily. “Rebecca, I’ve warned you before. You’d better not talk to them about my

matters, let alone ask them for any

favors.”

Rebecca looked him straight in the eye. “Oh really? That’s a shame, because I’ve already talked to

them. I even tried to persuade Alyssa to donate bone marrow to you, but they don’t seem too willing to

cooperate.”

Ashton’s face contorted with anger. “You’re asking for trouble!”

Hector said with concern, “Ashton, Ms. Moxley is only looking out for you. Alyssa is your daughter, and

she’s a perfect match for your bone

marrow.

She’s willing to donate her bone marrow to you, which is a simple act that can save your life. She must

donate, and she doesn’t have a

choice in the matter.”

Ashton clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands clearly visible.

“Even if it costs me my life. I will never let her donate bone marrow.”

He owed countless debts to Deborah and Alyssa in the past, and they remained unsettled.

No matter how small, nothing can be changed now.

The events of the past have all become a foregone conclusion.

But things were different later on.

From now on, he will no longer owe them anything.

Hector was furious. “You’re being foolish! Is this really the time for you to show mercy?”

Ashton’s ink-like eyes stared intently at Hector, emphasizing each word. “I’m making it clear. I will never

accept Alyssa’s bone marrow,

unless I’m dead.”

The bed was wheeled into the hospital room, and the housekeeper who followed helped Ashton onto

the bed to lie down.

Rebecca, feeling a bit unwilling to give up, tried to persuade him, “You might not fully understand. I’ve

asked the doctor, and with the

advancements in medical technology, the risks of Alyssa donating bone marrow are indeed quite low.”

Ashton said impatiently. “Even if the risk isn’t significant, it’s still a risk. Besides, Deborah would never

agree to it.”

Alyssa is Deborah’s lifeline; any small risk is something Deborah dares not to try.

Rebecca, furious, blurted out, “Do you really think Deborah refused because she’s worried about

Alyssa’s safety? All those excuses about the risks of a bone marrow transplant are just nonsense. She

just wants you to wait and die!”

Ashton had donated bone marrow to Alyssa years ago, so he knew better than anyone how simple the

process was and whether there were any significant risks involved.

Ashton’s face looked extremely awful, and he didn’t make a sound for quite a while.

After a long pause, he looked at Rebecca again and asked, “Does this have anything to do with you?”

For a moment, Rebecca was at a loss for words. A mix of embarrassment and anger filled her, making

her feel quite miserable.

It took her quite a while before she spoke up angrily again, “She wants you to wait to die. What’s the

difference between her and someone who intends to kill?”

Ashton’s gaze was chillingly cold, making one shudder.

“Even if she asks me to wait for my death, I’m willing. Does it have anything to do with you, Rebecca?”
