Beverly was taken away by the police. Maury was still lying unconscious on the bed. Elsie was in a disturbed state of mind, 'Eliot was not my brother!' She grabbed onto Eliot's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Eliot, you are my brother, right?"
Eliot did not answer, but followed the assistant out.
He had waited for this day for a long time, but he didn't expect that when it finally came, his heart would hurt so much.
He didn't even dare to look back at Emily, not even for a second.
The three sat quietly on the bench and pressed their cotton swabs. The assistant took the three labeled blood samples to the doctor and asked for the fastest test.
Elsie's cry broke the silence. She asked, "What about Mom? Eliot, Mom's still in the police station..."
Eliot didn't say anything.
"Are you going to leave her there?" Elsie threw away the cotton swab and stood in front of Eliot, regardless of her bleeding arm. "You are not the son of Maury, but Beverly is still your mother. Now she has been arrested, you must help her..."
"I'm very tired." Eliot propped up his face with his palm and whispered, "Stop talking. Quiet down for a while."
Elsie still cried.
Eliot was so annoyed that he was about to yell at Elsie to stop her from crying. Suddenly, a woman stood in front of him and gently hugged his head, with a soft hand covering his hair.
The fruity fragrance on her was soothing.
It was Emily.
At that moment, Eliot was on the verge of tears. He stretched out his long arms and tightly hugged Emily in front of him.
Elsie was puzzled when she saw this scene. She queried, "Eliot, you don't really like this retard, do you?"
Elsie had previously thought that Eliot was just taking extra care of Emily, a retard. But when Eliot admitted that he was not Maury's child in the ward, Elsie recalled how nice Eliot had been to Emily in these years and began to think, 'Perhaps Eliot is really in love with Emily!'
Moreover, at this time, Eliot and Emily hugged each other tightly, one sitting and the other standing. They really looked like a couple.
When the assistant came back, the three of them returned to the bench.
"We won't get the test results until tomorrow at the earliest. Let's go back to the ward," the assistant said.
The three of them stood up without a word and walked towards the ward.
The lawyer came out of the ward as Eliot and the others came in. The lawyer nodded slightly to show greeting and then left.
Elsie stared at a document in the lawyer's hand and did not say anything.
But she knew that it was a will.
Matthew changed his will. He must had given her and Emily the portion that belonged to Eliot.
Inside the ward, Matthew was putting his glasses in his pocket. Then, he pinched the bridge of his nose to relieve eye strain. Eliot, Elsie and Emily walked in. Seeing that Maury was still not awake, Eliot said to Matthew, "I am going back to the company."
"You don't have to go. I've sent someone to take charge of the company," Matthew said calmly.
Even though Eliot was prepared to be rejected, he couldn't help but felt upset.
He lowered his head and said, "Then I'll go back home."
Matthew didn't say anything. He acquiesced Eliot to leave.
Then Eliot left.
Elsie didn't dare to be alone with Matthew in the ward. Fortunately, she still had Emily. But Emily, a little retard, didn't understand anything and couldn't share this kind of fear and uneasiness for her. After staying for a while, Elsie made an excuse to go to the bathroom and went out.
Only Matthew, Emily, and the assistant remained in the ward.
They kept silent and stayed beside Maury's bed. None of them felt embarrassed.
Not long after, Maury slowly opened his eyes. Perhaps because he couldn't get used to the blinding light, he closed his eyes and opened his eyes again after a while.
"Water..."
When Emily heard that, she hurriedly went to get some water. The assistant beside Matthew looked at her in surprise. Emily reacted quickly, not like a retard at all.
After getting a cup of the water, Emily put a straw in it. She brought the water to Maury and slightly tilted the cup to make it easier for him to drink.
When Maury saw her, he smiled weakly, "My Emily has grown up and can take care of me now."
Emily was wondering, 'If Maury had known that even his fainting was part of my plan, would he have said the same thing to me?'
"Where are they?" Maury woke up a little dizzy. Thinking about the mess in the company, he felt a big headache. He frowned and said, "Call Eliot."
Emily held the cup in her hand and did not move.
Matthew said, "I let him go back. I've sent someone to take charge of the company."
Maury took another sip of water before asking, "Where did he go? Home? Was he sick?"
"He said that he was not your biological child." Matthew leaned on his cane and said word by word, "That's what he admitted!"
Maury's entire body froze. He raised his head to look at Matthew and then at Emily. It seemed that he didn't believe, "What do you say?"
Before Maury could recover, Matthew gave him another blow. "I just had my lawyer change my will. Your will is up to you. Also, Beverly has been sent to the police station by me. Not only did she embezzle company funds, but your fainting this time was also because of her. She wanted to kill you."
Maury was confused and suffered a terrible headache. He put his hands on his head and took a few hard breaths. He lay back on the bed without saying a word and tried his best to digest what Matthew had said.
Matthew thought that Maury didn't believe him and was about to say more when a tear slipped out of the corner of Maury's eye.
Emily reached out her hand to wipe the tear off for Maury.
But more and more tears came out before she could wipe them away.
Emily heard Matthew sigh. Then, the ward door was opened and closed again and again. Everyone left, leaving only her and Maury, who was crying silently.
She wrapped her arms around Maury's head, as hard as she hugged Eliot.. Maury and Eliot were the two closest people in her life.
