Chapter 182 Ashley Commits Suicide

William’s voice remained gentle and calm, “The person is fine, I have already sent them to the hospital.

It’s a physical injury, the doctor will handle it.”

After hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, and then hung up the phone and went

straight to the hospital.

In the hospital.

Rachel’s injury had been treated, and William was supporting her. It seemed that she had burned her

foot, and she was having some

difficulty walking. Probably seeing her struggle, William picked her up in his arms.

Rachel was petite to begin with, and when William, who was 1.8 meters tall, picked her up, they looked

very much like a couple in love from a distance, especially with the shy yet expectant expression on

Rachel’s face.

Seeing the situation, I quickly jogged forward, positioning myself in front of the two. I anxiously looked

at Rachel and asked, “Is the injury serious? What did the doctor say?”

Seeing me appear suddenly, Rachel was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook her head, her

face somewhat flustered as she said, “No…it’s okay now, it’s already been handled. How did you get

here?”

I glanced at William and said, “I called you, and luckily your elder brother picked up. He told me you

were here, so I came right away.” Looking at William, who was still holding Rachel, I continued, “Thank

you for today, elder brother. I’ll take her home. Your sister-in-law must be waiting for you, you should go

now.”

Ilearing this, William chuckled lightly, not saying much. After gently setting Rachel down, he still looked

at me very gentlemanly and said, “Then I’ll leave the rest to you.”

I nodded, and he didn’t say much more, just turned to Rachel and said,

“Rest well.”

Then he left.

Watching William walk away, Rachel’s flushed face gradually returned to normal. She pursed her

charming lips and asked me, “Aren’t you busy today?”

I nodded, reaching out to support her as we slowly moved forward. In a soft voice, I said, “Why didn’t

you call me immediately when something happened? If I hadn’t called you, I wouldn’t have known that

you were in trouble. I’ll stay at your place tonight. It just so happens that my mother and Alexander are

not in River City. It’s better for me to stay at your place so I can take care of you.”

Her foot was injured and she walked slowly, saying, “I really wanted to call you first, but when I fell, all

the water in my bottle splashed on me. I barely managed to reach my phone, and without checking who

I was calling for help, I just dialed. I didn’t expect it to be Mr. Hinton. When he heard I was in trouble, he

came right away and then took me to the hospital.”

After speaking, she looked at me with a face full of grievance and said, “Other people’s best friends

would show concern when they are hurt, but you just interrogated me as soon as you arrived, Tabatha,

don’t you love me?”

Seeing her pretentious demeanor, I held my forehead, helplessly saying, “If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t

have rushed here as soon as I knew something happened to you. I didn’t question you because I was

worried about you.”

She playfully stuck out her tongue, rubbing her head against my shoulder and said, “I knew you were

the best. By the way, you just said Auntie isn’t in River City, where did she go?”

“Dracview, her childhood playmate got married, she went there once.” I spoke, looking at her

nonchalant expression, I sighed helplessly.

I chatted with her for a bit, and before I knew it, we had walked over to the elevator to wait for it.

Not long after, the elevator door opened. Just as I was about to help her into the elevator, a person who

came out of it suddenly called out to me, “Tabatha.”

some

I instinctively looked up, it was Olivia, I hadn’t seen her for days, the young girl seemed to have

become even more beautiful.

With her was Odin, who politely greeted me upon seeing me.

The two of us got off the elevator, there were still people going up in it. Rachel and I didn’t get in. we

stepped aside and talked to Olivia, “Did you come to see grandina?”

“Um!” Olivia nodded, “Winter vacation is coming soon. Emma is quite busy with a lot of things. Walter

said you also have a lot of things to deal with, so he asked me to come and chat with Carley when I

have time.”

As she spoke, she looked at Rachel, noticing her somewhat uncomfortable foot. She asked with

concern, “Rachel, what’s wrong with your foot?”

Rachel gave a faint smile, “Got burnt, it’s no big deal.”

Olivia nodded, she was a chatterbox. Seeing that our elevator hadn’t arrived yet, she wasn’t in a hurry

to leave and continued chatting with

Odin received a phone call and stepped aside to answer it. However, just a few seconds later, he came

back holding the phone, looking at me and asked, “Madam, do you know where Mr. Walter is?”

I paused for a moment, then said truthfully, “An hour ago, he and I parted ways in the city center. I don’t

know where he went. What happened?”

Odin hesitated for a few seconds, then said, “Ms. Conner committed suicide. Mr. Austen couldn’t reach

Mr. Walter.”
