My Innocent Girl novel Chapter 71

I was completely taken aback and wanted to cry. I couldn't understand a reason for him leaving like this.

I decided to think about it somewhile later. I met Chris in front of the hospital when I went back.

"Why would he do this?" I asked him.

"I don't know"

I sighed. "Well..."

"Oh yeah, uh... heather is imprisoned for life and his business is taken over by Jason, with whom she was romantically engaged"

I looked at him shocked. "Oh"

"yeah... uh..."

"Hm? What happened?"

"I just want to say, don't worry. We will find him"

I nodded. "yeah, we will"

He smiled. Suddenly, I saw Lara's dad coming out of the hospital.

"Ashley" he spoke. I looked at him.

"yeah?"

"Who told you Lara is dead?"

"Uh...?" I was confused. "The hospital called earlier--"

"Whatever it was, Lara is alive! Go inside!"

I was so happy, and confused at the same time. I ran inside and to her room. Maybe that's why the nurse and the receptionist weren't allowing us in.

I saw Lara and smiled brightly. I hugged her tight.

"Oh God, I thought I lost you"

We had a good emotional moment. Then Chris asked me to come out.

"yeah?" I asked.

"There is something I wanna confess"

"Yes?"

"I was the one who made that fake file"

I was shocked and quiet for a moment. I wasn't worried about that, I just wanted to meet Vincent. "okay"

he didn't expect 'okay', but whatever.

"If you find Vincent" I told him. "I will forgive you"

he nodded and I just sighed. "I will find out who did this, though"

He nodded again and then left. I need to know who spread this fake news.

I went to the receptionist. if she was bribed, then she can be bribed again. I turned the voice recording on and told her that I will pay $10,000 if she told me the truth.

She seemed so happy. "There was this girl, Sarah Blue. She asked me to do this"

"Okay"

I nodded and went out. Sarah.... Blue. Heather's sister?

I forwarded the information to Chris. he asked me to go to the Police station with it.

I went there and reported it. Then I gave the recording and went out.

I knew she would be arrested. Even Lara was fine, now all I wanted was Vincent to be found.

Epilogue

Ashley

I was with Lara. I had no idea about where Vincent must be. I just hope that Chris finds him. Maybe that could mend all the things.

It was gonna be night soon. I thought of having a small nap, it could help me. 

I suddenly received a call from Chris.

I picked it up as my excitement reached its peak. Maybe he found him.

"hey? Did you find him?" I asked him.

"Yes. I found him. But he is not very good..."

"What? Where is he?" I asked.

"I will send you the location"

"Okay"

The call ended, but I was worried sick. Why was he not well? What happened?

I went out and then at the location he sent. I was scared, as well as happy too. Maybe I will be with him forever, but he should explain to me why he left!

I parked my car in front of the location. It was an abandoned house. 

I ran inside and saw Chris just as I crossed the door. "Where is he?"

"The doctor is monitoring him. You can meet him"

I was scared and went inside. He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. The doctor left the room.

I sat beside him. He opened his eyes. There was a sad smile.

"Ashley"

"I am here. Are you okay?"
