Embraced By The Billionaire Chapter 136: The Beat of Hope
Ashton sat behind his large work desk, staring at rows of green numbers that continued climbing on the monitor screen. Investors had once again placed their trust in him, and the storm once sent by Skynet Global was now slowly turning into a calm wind that instead strengthened his company’s bargaining position.The large teak door of the room opened slowly. Lucy stepped inside with graceful strides, though a faint exhaustion lingered behind the lines of her eyes. She let out a long breath as she sat in the leather chair in front of her son."Ashton," Lucy called softly, drawing Ashton’s attention away from the screen. "Earlier your nana called me."Ashton scoffed coldly. His lips curled into a sharp, cynical smile. "Why is she calling again? Isn’t it clear that I’m not accepting any calls from her?""She was begging. Her voice sounded very desperate, very different from usual," Lucy explained while massaging her forehead. "She asked me to persuade you to withdraw the lawsuit and help
Embraced By The Billionaire Chapter 135: A Crushing Retaliation
Ashton stood upright before the large glass window facing directly toward the bustling city of New York. The flickering city lights looked like a stretch of gemstones, yet his mind was far from calm.In his hand, a smartphone was gripped tightly. His thumb moved steadily, pressing a sequence of numbers he knew by heart. He did not wait long before the ringing tone on the other end stopped and a woman’s voice, sounding very elegant yet cold, greeted his hearing."Hello, Ashton Dear. What’s the matter calling me this late at night? Did that pitiful fiancée of yours caused trouble again?" Carol Bennet’s voice sounded very relaxed, as if she had not just attempted to tear down the foundation of her grandson’s business.Ashton scoffed coldly. His jaw hardened, forming a firm line that radiated an intimidating aura. "Stop pretending, Nana. I know everything. I know you were behind Skynet Global’s decision to terminate the contract unilaterally."Silence fell briefly on the other end. Carol
Embraced By The Billionaire Chapter 134: Conspiracy Behind the Scenes
Ashton stood frozen beside Avery’s bed, holding a tablet in his left hand while his right hand still clasped her fingers that felt cold.A short message had just arrived on his device, a brief report from his vice president director stating that Skynet Global had suddenly terminated a cooperation contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars.Ashton’s jaw hardened. His eyes narrowed, radiating a cold aura he usually reserved only for his business enemies. Within seconds, his expression transformed into that of a predator sniffing out the scent of betrayal. However, the short breath beside him brought him back to his senses.Avery looked at him with weary yet inquisitive eyes. On her still pale face was an intelligence that could not be deceived by any mask."Ashton?" Avery called softly. "Is something wrong?"Ashton immediately turned off his tablet screen. He forced a faint smile, trying to soften the sharpness in his gaze. "It’s nothing, Baby. Just some office documents I need to r
Embraced By The Billionaire Chapter 133: A Glimmer of Hope at the Edge of Risk
Every time Ashton heard a soft groan escape Avery’s lips, his heart seemed to stop beating. He stood in the corner of the room, watching a nurse replace Avery’s IV bag with trembling hands. The man who could usually control millions of dollars with a single signature now felt like dust, powerless in the face of the pain endured by the woman he loved most.Doctor Harris pulled Ashton out of the room, his face showing exhaustion equal to the worry he carried.“Mr. Knight, I have to tell you once again. Her condition isn’t improving as quickly as we hoped,” the doctor said in a low tone. “Continuing this pregnancy with recurring complications is extremely risky. If a major complication occurs, the choice will no longer be about the fetus, but the mother’s life. If her blood pressure spikes again or severe bleeding occurs, we could lose them both.”Ashton shut his eyes tightly. The words “lose them both” echoed in his head like a death bell. He had just regained his memory. He had just re
Embraced By The Billionaire Chapter 132: Bad News
Outside the procedure room, Ashton paced endlessly. Lucy and Sarah sat in the waiting chairs, their faces filled with anxiety. Every minute felt like an hour. Every sound from inside the room made their hearts pound violently. Ashton blamed himself. If only he had not lost his memory, if only he had been by Avery’s side during the past two months, perhaps none of this would have happened.After what felt like an eternity, Doctor Harris emerged from the procedure room. His face looked serious, and there was even a hint of despair there.“Doctor! How is Avery? How is our baby?” Ashton immediately approached, his voice hoarse and filled with fear.Doctor Harris let out a long breath. “Miss Avery is stable for now. We managed to stop the contractions. However…” The doctor paused, looking at Ashton with a gaze that implied bad news. “The fetal heartbeat is weak, Mr. Knight. And based on the ultrasound examination, the fetus is not developing as it should. We detected signs of severe intrau

After a heated argument with Doctor Harris and Lucy’s intervention, Ashton was finally allowed into Avery’s treatment room. The conditions were strict: only five minutes, and he must not cause any disturbance.Ashton stepped into the dim room. The soft beeping of the heart monitor machine was the only sound. On the bed, Avery looked so small and fragile. Her once radiant face was now pale, her cheekbones prominent, and dark circles framed her tightly closed eyes.Avery’s breathing sounded deep and heavy; occasionally she whimpered in her sleep, as if even in dreams she was still chased by pain. An IV line was connected to the back of her hand, which now looked extremely thin.Ashton sat on the chair beside the bed. He could not hold back his tears when he saw Avery’s belly, now beginning to slightly swell beneath the thin blanket. There was a life he had forgotten. There was proof of their love that had nearly been destroyed by Carol Bennet’s selfishness.“Ave…” he whispered very soft
