Chapter 70 He Learned the Truth

Ashton knew Rodger was asking him what he was afraid of, but he did not answer. What was he afraid of? Losing Deborah? Afraid that Deborah might really have some serious illness, and might leave him one day? Ashton did not know what the answer was. His feelings for Helen were gratitude and a sense of responsibility. Ashton's parents were busy with work and neglected him when he was young, and he was not familiar with the things abroad when he was there. Even after staying there for many years, he still could not get used to the language, food, and customs there. Helen was the only close friend he had who came from the same place and was about the same age. The two of them seemed to share a sense of sympathy for each other and also relied on each other. Helen was always with him in those years, they could communicate in the same language and had the same eating habits and hobbies.
