Chapter 1548: Chapter 1366: Pass My Exact Words to Her

Ashton Heath looked at Jeremy Lawrence with narrowed eyes. His gaze became somewhat profound.

"Jeremy, first answer me a question."

"Speak, Ashton."

"If Regina Kelloway hadn’t asked you for help, would you still think the other members of the Kelloway family are innocent?"

The color drained from Jeremy’s face.

"Jeremy, it’s not that I don’t want to give the Kelloway family a chance. I’ve stated my conditions and if they can fulfill them, I will help. But if they can’t, what happens to the Kelloway family is none of my business."

"I know that Regina Kelloway is your classmate and that you would feel bad refusing her request for help. If she asks about it again, just relay what I said to her."

Jeremy stayed silent for a moment, moistening his lips before nodding. "I understand."

"Regina Kelloway is a good girl." Ashton paused for a second, then continued under Jeremy’s surprised gaze, "But considering your sister’s current relationship with Rebecca Kelloway, you two being together might not go smoothly."

"Ashton, what... what are you talking about?" Jeremy gave Ashton a startled look, his eyes laced with confusion. "You’re mistaken. Regina and I are just classmates. I agreed to help just because we’re classmates."

"Perhaps." Ashton didn’t elaborate on the matter. "I just wanted to tell you, try not to start dating before the surgery. And it would be best not to date within a year after the surgery."

"Although it wouldn’t be a problem if you want to date, it’s better not to."

"Ashton, I’m not thinking about these things right now."

"Mm." Ashton nodded. "I’m not worried about you. It’s just Joanna who is concerned about whether you’re facing any difficulties recently."

"Joanna’s worried about me?" Jeremy paused, lowering his eyes, a trace of coldness quickly flashing beneath them. "Joanna worries too much. I’ve been fine, nothing has happened to me. She has always treated me like a child, always worrying about me. That’s why she has such concerns."

"Actually, I can take care of myself now."

"Tell Joanna not to worry. I can take care of myself."

"Jeremy, no matter what happens, don’t hesitate to ask for my help if you need it." Ashton stood up, walked to Jeremy’s side and patted him on the shoulder. "I’m not just your brother-in-law, but also your cousin. Joanna reiterated many times instructing me to take good care of you. If anything happens to you, Joanna will never forgive me."

"Mm, thank you, Ashton."

Returning to Hillside Villa.

After taking a shower, Joanna Lawrence changed into her pajamas and walked out of the bathroom.

Ashton Heath had also taken a shower, and was lying in bed wearing a robe, browsing on a tablet.

Joanna walked over and lay down next to him.

As always, the man opened his arm for her to rest her head on.

Joanna turned over and hugged him, "What did Jeremy say to you at Heath Villa?"

Ashton lowered his gaze at her, set the tablet aside, and drew her closer with his other hand, hugging her lightly.

Taking a deep breath, he inhaled her faint fragrance and whispered, "He pleaded for the Kelloway family."

Joanna was taken aback, looking surprised. "He pleaded for the Kelloway family?"

"Regina Kelloway asked him to intercede on their behalf. He probably didn’t feel comfortable refusing. But that was all he did, he didn’t say anything else."

"And you..."
