章 676: They Could Find Peace in Each Other

Ashleigh refused to speak after her outburst. Bell tried to talk to her, but Ashleigh stared out the window silently. Finally, she moved to the chair and waited as the mattress was changed, but she said nothing.

Once the new bed was in place and made, Ashleigh pulled back the blankets and crawled into it, covering herself without a word. Bell sighed and left the room.

Knowing that Ashleigh was in pain, that she was struggling to readjust and accept that Caleb was gone, was one thing. But seeing her like this… wasn’t something that Bell ever expected to experience.

She went to Galen immediately, she told him what had happened, and he held her while they sat on the couch in his office. He had been very quiet as she told him what had happened. She could see that he was struggling with his own thoughts.
