46: Chapter 46: Besides her, there won’t be any other woman
46 -46: Besides her, there won’t be any other woman
The beautiful boy’s voice was a little timid.
Ashton Heath nodded: “Yeah, go ahead and ask.”
Jeremy hesitated for a moment: “Ashton, do you really like my sister, Joanna?”
Ashton was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to ask that question.
“Are you worried that I’m not sincere towards Joanna?” He answered with a counter-question.
Jeremy hesitated again and stammered, “Ashton, you’re a great catch, and I’m sure there are many women who like you.
Although my sister is very beautiful, I don’t think you lack beautiful women around you either.”
“David…
Joanna and David Benington have known each other for a whole decade, but in the end, he still cheated on her.
Joanna has already been hurt by him once, and I don’t want her to be hurt again.”
Although Jeremy was a little afraid of Ashton, he still mustered up the courage to speak up for Joanna’s happiness.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth at Ashton: “If you dare to let my sister down, I won’t let you off the hook!”
Ashton Heath: “…”
For the first time in his life, he was being threatened.
And it was by his own nephew.
But Ashton wasn’t angry.
He knew that the siblings cared for each other, and Jeremy’s actions were out of concern for his sister, fearing that Joanna might be deceived.
After a moment of silence, he curled his lips: “Do you want to hear the truth?”
The beautiful boy on the hospital bed clenched his fists: “Of course!”
Ashton laughed softly, then said, “In fact, Joanna and I didn’t get together because of love, so I can’t answer whether I like her or not.”
Jeremy frowned, looking somewhat angry: “You…
”
“Is it so important whether I like her or not?” Ashton raised an eyebrow, “You just said so yourself, she and David had ten years of feelings, and they were betrayed, weren’t they?”
“You’ve excluded Joanna to ask me so many questions, aren’t you just worried that I might end up like David?
I can’t guarantee that I’ll definitely fall in love with her, but since I chose her, I won’t let her down.”
Jeremy was stunned, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion: “You mean…
”
“I can’t guarantee anything about feelings.
But what you’re worried about won’t happen.”
Seeing the boy still looking confused, Ashton got up, went to the bedside, reached out his hand, and gently patted his frail shoulders, “Jeremy, Joanna is special to me.
You could say she’s one of a kind for me.
The woman who accompanies me for the rest of my life will only be her, and there won’t be any other woman.”

Joanna had bought some steamed buns and come back, but Jeremy had no appetite after eating just one.
The two of them chatted for a while until Jeremy showed signs of fatigue.
Only after Joanna watched him fall asleep did she leave the hospital.
The cool night breeze was refreshing on her face.
It took her a few minutes to walk from the inpatient department to the hospital’s main entrance.
All around, it was quiet.
Joanna gazed down at the shadows on the ground.
The man’s shadow was slightly taller, completely covering her own.
Joanna was fascinated with this sight, and without paying attention, she stepped on a small stone.
Her foot slipped, and her body was about to topple forward.
“Ah.”
She let out a soft cry, expecting to hit the ground, when a strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her back up securely.
Joanna bumped into the man’s warm, firm chest.
Above her was a deep, mocking laugh: “My shadow is so interesting to look at?
Is it even better-looking than me, the person casting it?”
