A Little Hope For Ashma
38. An unexpected meeting

Adam gave the apple to Ashma which he had cut into pieces.

"Well, eat," Ashma grabbed the apple from Adam's hand, biting it slowly while rubbing his stomach.

someone opened the door to Ashma's nursery, and there stood aunt Marianee and Lily who came to visit Ashma.

They immediately approached Ashma. Aunt Marianee showed a sad look on her daughter-in-law lying weakly in the gurney.

"Ashma," Aunt Marianee gently hugged her daughter-in-law affectionately.

"Thank God you and your baby are okay,"

Lily glanced at Adam who was smiling faintly at the interaction of Mama and Ashma.

Stupid, Adam is stupid! Obviously his eyes showed love for Ashma but he still wanted to love her as well, you greedy man, Lily's mind was irritated.

"You made us worry about Ashma" Lily chimed in, Adam immediately turned to find Lily staring at Ashma with a smile.

"Ah that... Sorry," no, that's not what Lily wants to hear. "Where are you now?" his question turned anxious.

Ashma smiled faintly, "Much better."

Lily chuckled, "nice, Adam is also so attentive to you," it was like a deliberate word to offend Adam.

"No Lily isn't like that, Mr. Adam just helped me!" ashma's overly formal and humbling speech made Adam's ears buzz and deeply dislike him.

Lily brought her body to sit on the sofa, "no need to explain, I also already know how attentive Adam is to you. Don't worry Ashma, I don't mind that. He is also my brother, a big brother who is very playful of his feelings!" lily's insinuation made Adam scowl.

Lily just told me that their relationship is only limited to sister and sister, oddly Adam is not too much trouble when before he was always angry when Lily did not try to love him. Maybe Adam is trying to keep himself from making Ashma stress, yes he still loves Lily does not mean the feeling has disappeared.

"Ah I want to get out," Lily got up from her seat and immediately bid farewell to the occupants of the room.

Lily steps out to get some fresh air outside the hospital but suddenly Adam's bodyguard Jhon follows her from behind.

"Should it always be like this?" lily asked pushyly to find an extremely annoying escort every time she came out to step where she wanted to go.

"Sorry Miss, but this is an order from Mr. Adam." Lily snorted bitterly, she had no interest in answering the bodyguard anymore.

His steps continue to bring himself to the first floor, showing the activities of people who are busy with their own problems.

There was a faint gaze from the eagle eyes of a cold-blooded man, Edward was there because he had to do a routine checkup. His eyes caught one object that made him hesitate, he faintly looked at a woman who was so similar to Lily. Edward thinks it's Adam's wife but he doesn't wear his headgear so Edward goes after him, but he loses track of what he thinks is his wife, Lily.

"I can't go wrong seeing that there's even a Jhon behind it. My Lily's alive, she's really my wife!" Edward felt a longing symphony, his feelings soaring happiness to find the fact that his lover was still alive.

His mood changed rapidly as well, Edward clenched his fingers with a hardened jaw. His emotions seem obvious because considering Adam who first found Lily.

"Damn! how dare you take Lily from me Adam!"

Edward immediately headed for the reception desk, with a fierce face he asked for someone's name. The receptionist looked frightened but he kept his privacy on behalf of the books.

"Hurry and tell me or do you want to hear your family die horribly?" Edward threatened to make the receptionist even more frightened.

"Sorry sir, but this is privacy!"

Edward's breath was hunting more and more, he looked at him so giddy. "I'll count to the third count, if you don't, then tonight you'll see the bodies of your entire family!" He's getting cornered so there's no other way to turn him down.

"alright. I'll be looking for the name you mean."

"On behalf of Ashma Zehra, there is a master" the woman said after searching for him with fear.

As Edward tightened his jaw to hear his true conjecture, he hated Adam even more. Just look at what he will do to his pregnant wife, Edward will give her a reply to Adam for taking Lily from him.

Edward gets out of the hospital and gets into the car, and decides to contact his old friend who will be a partner to destroy Adam.

"Oho Dexter, the dangerous man!" edward said sarcastically behind the phone.

Daxter from behind his smartphone grinned, getting an incoming call from his old friend.

Daxter grinned as he whipped smoke from his cigar, "Sure, I have to snatch that chip from Adam's hand!"

Edward felt very happy because soon they would start the game.

"I have some very interesting news for you, Daxter," Edward said, telling a very big surprise.

Edward from behind the phone grinned, "don't beat Edward!"

Edward giggled at Daxter's impatient roar of breath. "Yes you are an impatient person. All right I'll tell you one very interesting thing,"

"You remember the woman who helped Adam to snatch the chip we took?"

Daxter certainly remembered it because the woman was on his hunting list. "Where to forget, he was my precious prey!"

Edward took some pictures on the table, it was a portrait of his wife Adam taken secretly by his man.

"The woman is his wife" he said. Daxter grinned while laughing horribly, he actually obtained a very shocking information.

"I didn't expect this game to be so exciting. Now we no longer need to look for weaknesses Adam's sibedebah because his wife is the point of weakness is not it ?!" daxter asked to confirm, Edward immediately confirmed.

"Well that's all the information I can provide, we have to meet in person and talk about it further tomorrow how?" tanya Edward offered a meeting time.

"Yes, tomorrow we have to speak four eyes!"

After the call was over, Edward immediately waltzed away in his car to return to the Mansion, he also had to plan his next game to have fun seeing Adam's destruction.

...•••...

"Why is Adam still here? Go then! your business must be a lot."

Ashma then grumbled because Adam did not leave before him, irritating Ashma.

"You really like to kick me out, but this time I'm not leaving!" adam was tired of hearing Ashma so chatty.

"Go! I'm so excited to see you here?!" Adam immediately thought about what Dr. Miranda said to not stress Ashma, so he had to give up.

"Basically stubborn. All right I'll be out but wait for Mama to come back here!"

Ashma did not reply anymore, she could only wait for Aunt Marianee to come to her room immediately.

Not long after Marianee's aunt came, Ashma just drove out Adam, the man scowled because Ashma still wanted to expel him.

Aunt Marianee shakes a little at their quarrel, she must immediately find a way to make them make up.

"Ma please take care of this stubborn woman, Adam wants to come out," aunt Marianee nodded in understanding, Adam immediately walked out of Ashma's room. The man's steps further away and eventually disappears upon Ashma's hearing.

"You guys really like looking for a commotion!" aunt Marianee said softly.

"Sorry Ma, but by acting like this to her makes my heart not easily disappointed," explained Ashma with a thin smile, Ashma felt she had done the right thing.

Aunt Marianee understood that, but as their communication deteriorated, the possibility of their household estrangement would increase.

"Honey, the key to a good relationship is communication. If this continues, Mama is afraid that you will walk each other more selfishly, not just that Mama is afraid your future child will become a victim." aunt Marianee said she gave advice.

Ashma understood very well her mother-in-law's intentions but for now, being indifferent to Adam was her best choice. Ashma did not want to bother having to think about it with heartache again, she wanted to run away from her problems with Adam.

"But Adam never wanted to understand ma, he was selfish with his own feelings. Mama, I don't know what kind of relationship he and your son had but, I'm also a normal human being with feelings. I'm also an ordinary woman who gets jealous easily knowing her husband still loves women in his past, my heart hurts and I'm depressed." Ashma's tears shed, this is the feeling he always felt when he heard Adam always mention the name of another woman

"Also it won't hurt like this Ma, because I've fallen for him!"

Aunt Marianee stared bitterly at her daughter-in-law, she did not expect Adam would hurt Ashma this deep until it made her lose her trust in her husband.

"I'm sorry Mama Ashma, I don't know if you're going to endure all this alone" Aunt Marianee immediately grabbed onto Ashma's frail body. The woman cried in her mother-in-law's arms with all her pain.
