Chapter 1221

Ezra and his men are the only ones who would steal my baby!

“Don’t cry, Letty…” Emma tried to comfort me, but I covered my ears and crouched down while

screaming at the top of my lungs.

“Don’t touch me! Liars! You’re all liars!”

My son has been stolen from me while under the care of my own people… I don’t even know who I can

trust anymore…

Emery placed a hand on my shoulder and said, “Calm down, Scarlett.”

Having been through her fair share of conflicts, she was extremely calm as she ordered the servants

around us, “Bring me everyone that has been into this house since yesterday…”

There was a loud ringing noise in my ears, so I couldn’t hear what else she said as I wrapped my arms

around my trembling body. When I glanced at her through the corner of my eye, I suddenly

remembered something very important. Wait, I’ve still got my daughter!

I then quickly stood up, snatched my baby out of Emery’s arms, and locked myself in the bedroom

upstairs.

“Letty? What are you doing? Open the door!” they shouted worriedly while banging on the door.

The world around me started spinning, and their voices sounded like demons from hell who wanted to

take my daughter from me.

I quickly hid in the closet and curled up in a corner, muttering softly under my breath, “Stay away from

my daughter… I won’t let you have my daughter…”

The sounds of my baby crying was all that I could hear, and the closet door was opened from the

outside.

The bright light from outside hurt my eyes, causing me to tighten my grip on my baby.

“I’m home, Letty.” Ashton’s familiar voice snapped me back to reality, and I turned my head slowly to

look at him.

Our gazes met, and we both stared at each other in silence.

Eventually, Ashton was the one to break that silence. “The baby must be hungry by now, Letty. Come

on out and we’ll feed her some milk, okay?”

He held out his hand with a gentle look on his face while slowly inching closer towards me and my

baby.

I found myself spacing out when I saw his face getting closer and closer.

It wasn’t until I felt his icy-cold touch on the back of my hand that I came back to my senses and

screamed in his face, “Get lost! Don’t you lay a hand on my baby!”

Ashton paused and frowned slightly with his hand still outstretched. “Look at me, Scarlett! It’s me,

Ashton!”

“I know who you are, Ashton! Don’t even bother trying to trick me with your sweet nothings! It’s all your

fault! You did this to my son! Give him back to me!” I lost all control over my emotions and yelled at him

like a madwoman.

Ashton refused to back off and continued making his way towards me, which only agitated me even

further. “F*ck off, you liar! Don’t come closer! Ahhhh!”

At that moment, a hand came into view and grabbed Ashton by the arm before dragging him out of the

room which fell silent once again.

Fearing that my baby would catch a cold, I held her tightly against my chest while staring blankly at the

floor.

I looked up when I heard the sound of footsteps approaching and saw John standing before me in a

white turtleneck sweater. Summer stood in front of him and held out her hands as she looked at me

with teary eyes. “Mommy… Don’t you want me anymore?”

Parents would always have a soft spot for their children, and I was no exception. The sound of

Summer’s voice made me lower whatever defenses I had, and I broke down in tears as I pulled her into

my arms.

The doctor then came in to administer a sedative, and I lost all consciousness shortly after.

“My baby! Don’t you touch my baby!”

I was sweating profusely when I sat bolt upright in bed after waking up from a nightmare. I then quickly

got out of bed to look for my baby, and only let out a sigh of relief when I found her sleeping soundly in

a cradle nearby.
