Because of the accident, this afternoon was quite terrifying. It was already 3:30 in the afternoon. Rex took the corpses back to the police station, and Harold sent Arabella back.
Actually, Rex was the one who was arranged to send Arabella back. However, Rex felt that Harold who was taciturn would do a better job. He exchanged his task with Harold's and then they drove off.
Arabella really didn't want to see anyone she knew, even if it was only an assistant or a bodyguard. She was worried that she would see mockery on their faces. Now, she felt a little relieved when she found there wasn't any expression on Harold's face.
But she slid into a depression again when she thought that Harold was Emily's bodyguard.
In the past, whenever she was injured, Jaquan would always take her to the hospital or send her home.
Where was he now?
Arabella looked out of the window. As expected, she saw Jaquan standing beside Emma. Her heart ached. She recalled what Jaquan said to her in the woods, as well as his anger face of the time not long ago when he got mad at her and spoke up for Emma.
That was the first time Jaquan glared at her with such a horrible expression.
Arabella was extremely embarrassed. After a long time, she looked down and lowered her head to hug her knees, her tears falling down.
Jaquan brought Emma to the lake. After she washed her hands, he handed her the towel in his hand and said, "I'll send you back."
Emma was puzzled. Why was he standing here instead of sending Arabella home? She even felt strange when she heard that.
"Why?"
"..."
Jaquan gestured at the car carrying the corpses, then at the blood-red water that had just been drained away from the lake, and then at her. "You ... you're greatly frightened. I'll send you back. You should have a good rest...."
"No need. I came here today to enjoy the hot spring." Emma wiped her hands clean and handed him the towel neatly folded. "Thank you."
Jaquan didn't take the towel, but grabbed her hand. "Don't you have anything to ask?" He looked into her eyes. "I just said something."
Emma remembered what he said.
She just didn't understand, and she was even a little surprised, because she thought what he said should be for Arabella, not for her.
Now she understood. Perhaps he did it and said it on purpose. All of that was for Arabella.
"I heard what you said." She pulled out her hand and said, "I won't take it to heart. Don't worry."
"..."
Jaquan was about to be driven mad by her. "What do you mean you won't take it to heart? Do you think I was joking?"
"No. What you said was for Arabella, wasn't it?" Emma looked at him and said in a gentle voice, "I know, so I won't take it to heart."
"..."
"Emma! Are you still going to enjoy the hot spring?" Janessa's shout came from afar. Because of what had happened to Emma, the group of people gave up their plan to camp and prepared to immediately set off for Forest Hot Spring.
Emma walked over and replied, "Yes. Wait for me."
Jaquan looked up at the sky in frustration.
This time, the group only brought some clothes with them and not first aid kit. Jaquan went back to the car and asked Randy to call the staff of Forest Hot Spring to get a medical kit so that when he got there, he could use it right away.
Arabella, who was injured, had left, and now there was only Emma left.
After Randy finished calling, he nudged Jaquan's shoulder and looked at him in disbelief. "You...?"
What he was talking about was Emma.
Everyone saw what happened just now, including Arabella.
Jaquan had liked Arabella for so many years, but just now, he actually hugged Emma so hard, and even got emotional when he spoke.
In front of Emma, none had the nerve to question him.
Now, Randy finally got a chance, but he wasn't too gossipy. Emma was a single mother with a son. It was not good to make fun of her. Randy knew what he should not say.
"Yes. So what?" Jaquan scratched his hair.
"Damn awesome." Randy couldn't say anything else. He just gave Jaquan a thumb-up. "If it wasn't for the fact that what happened just now was too real, I would have thought that you did it for Arabella."
"..."
Jaquan was reminded of Emma's words. He scratched the back of his head and said, "She thinks that way too."
"Who?"
Jaquan was silent. He looked away and saw that Janessa and Armando were talking to Emma, while Stony stood quietly by the side.
"Emma?" Randy finally realized the answer.
"That's it. Get in the car." Jaquan waved his hand.
"Damn it!" Randy didn't know how to express his feelings, so he swore again.
Jaquan and Emma?
How could they be together?
Randy was puzzled. He couldn't help but look in Emma's direction. Janessa and Armando had left. Jaquan walked over and stood in front of her. Randy didn't know what Jaquan was talking about. Emma turned around to leave, but Jaquan held her by the wrist and brought her into his car...
"Damn it!" Randy swore once again. He waved his hand at the team members and shouted, "Drive! Let's go!"
Janessa sat in the passenger seat. She tilted her head to look at Armando and asked curiously, "Hey. Doesn't Jaquan like Arabella? Why does he seem to care so much about Emma?"
She had been curious for a long time. She was straightforward and had planned to ask Jaquan directly. If Jaquan dared to admit it, she would even laugh out loud. She really didn't like Arabella.
But she was very happy with Emma. She had once hoped that Armando would be with Emma. She never expected that Jaquan would fall in love with Emma.
"He liked Arabella before, right? Do you remember the time when we were at Mount Phoenix, he retorted upon me for Arabella?" Janessa was angry when she thought about it. "All you men transfer your affections so easily?"
Armando didn't know what to say.
As Armando made no reply, Janessa became even angrier. "I told you to win her heart earlier but you didn't. Now your friend is your rival. Wait and see. Emma will become his girlfriend soon."
Armando was still silent.
He pulled over and parked the car.
"Why are you parking?" Janessa tilted her head to look at him.
