When Emily received the call, she was sitting on the sofa in the ward. Harold reported everything that had happened in the morning to her on the phone, and then he came to a conclusion.
"Emma has been taken away by the Albertons. Stony has been taken away by Jaquan."
"I see," she hung up the phone, looked down at her phone and was stunned for a moment. Then she called the nurse in and walked out with her phone.
The moment she left, Elsie on the bed trembled and opened her eyes. The next second, when footsteps came from outside the ward, she immediately closed her eyes.
Emily didn't expect that Arabella would call the police. After all, Emma had saved Arabella several times. Emily could not understand why Arabella did this. Perhaps the only reason was Jaquan.
That day in the Forest Park, everyone saw Jaquan hugging Emma. Many people would be surprised. It was obvious that Jaquan liked Arabella before, but why did he suddenly like Emma who had a son?
Arabella also saw that scene...
Was she jealous?
Emily still remembered the first time she saw Arabella. There were a lot of people in the private room. She sat beside Vincent, generous and decent. She was so proud and beautiful like a peacock.
But now, for love, she lost herself.
First was Vincent, then was Jaquan. Two lessons should be enough for her to wake up.
After taking the car back to the Britt's, she arrived at the garden. Harold had just returned. Without Beverly and Elsie, they didn't have to talk about business only when they were staring at the ants.
"Has anyone seen Beverly?" Emily asked.
"No."
Emily fiddled with a leaf in her hand and asked, "Did the surveillance camera in the hospital find anyone who came to see Elsie?"
"No," Harold asked, "What's wrong, Miss Emily?"
Emily couldn't tell, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing the maturity that didn't belong to her age. "We haven't found the people behind them yet, so I feel a little uneasy in my heart. I always feel that something is going to happen."
It turned out that her uneasiness was reasonable.
The next evening, Maury was found fainted in his office, and the news of the impending bankruptcy of the Britt Group spread throughout City Y.
There was more news. Eliot worked as a salesman in a company, and his sister Elsie was unconscious in the hospital. His mother Beverly was imprisoned in a women's prison, and Maury suddenly fainted, leaving only a fool in the family, Emily.
"He has taken illegal drugs, and his body is very weak. In addition, he has probably been under a lot of pressure recently. He is not in a good health condition, and he didn't sleep well. He should recuperate more during this period."
The doctor said in the ward.
Matthew nodded, holding his walking stick. Then, he looked at his assistant. The assistant understood and walked the doctor out.
In less than two months, a family had undergone great changes. Matthew seemed to be exhausted, and his hair had turned grey at the back of his head. He looked like an old man.
He sighed and looked at Emily who was sitting at the bedside. Probably, this silly girl didn't know what the Britt Group was facing right now. In the end, Matthew didn't say anything. He turned around and walked out. Although he was old, he was still able to hold on.
It didn't matter that Maury was sick because Matthew was still here.
Emily sat at the bedside for a moment and sent Harold a message, asking him to take some of his father's clean clothes. After thinking for a while, she sent Eliot a text message.
"Dad is in the hospital."
Eliot did not reply. Perhaps he felt that Maury would be embarrassed and sad when he saw him. After all, Maury had raised a son for others for so many years.
Emily didn't need him to say anything immediately, but she didn't want Eliot to found out through someone else that Maury was hospitalized. At that time, he would be the only one embarrassed.
Emily put down her phone and saw an unread text message.
"Did you eat?" It was from Vincent.
She looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. She wanted to stay here tonight, so she replied, "Yes."
When Harold drove over, he met Rex downstairs. Rex held a food box in his hand and handed it to Harold when he saw Harold get off the car.
"Aren't you going up?" Harold looked in the direction of the back seat of the car and guessed that Vincent should be in the car.
Rex shook his head, "No, we are just passing by to take a look."
Harold nodded to Max and then nodded slightly in the direction of the back seat of the car. "Then I'll go up. Thank you."
Guard A in the shadows said, "I clearly saw that the car door opened. I don't know why it suddenly closed again."
Guard B in the shadows said, "I saw it too. Perhaps Mr. Vincent suddenly didn't want to go, right?"
Guard C in the shadows said, "It's over. May Mr. Vincent doesn't have any feelings for the little Hulk?"
Guard D in the shadows said, "It's the opposite."
Guard A in the shadows said, "The little Hulk is tired of Mr. Vincent? Pool Mr. Vincent! He still wants to send something to the little Hulk on such a cold day, but the little Hulk refuses to see him..."
Guard B in the shadows said, "Pool Mr. Vincent!"
Rex rushed into the car pointed his middle finger to them, and he warned them with his gaze. Although he also felt strange, everyone should pretend that they didn't know that Vincent was refused.
So, after getting on the car, Rex naturally asked, "Mr. Vincent, should we go back to the company or home?"
"Wait a moment," Vincent said.
"Yes."
A moment later, the phone rang. Vincent looked at the text message, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Then, he put away his phone and said, "Let's go home."
The message said, "Now I start to eat."
Emily took a rib of meat with chopsticks and placed it in her mouth after sending the text message. Her expression was very satisfied as she ate. However, at this moment, she was eating quietly, and her eyes were somewhat dim and lonely. She didn't know if it was because Maury was lying in front of her, or for some other reason.
Harold looked at her for a moment and asked, "Miss Emily, why didn't you go and see him?"
After Emily finished chewing the food in her mouth, she whispered, "I'm afraid that he won't be able to help but want to cry when I see him." she curled up the corners of her mouth, but it wasn't a smile. She tilted her head and asked Harold, "Am I being hypocritical?"
Harold was stunned, as if he didn't expect that Emily would show him her fragility. After a little surprise, he shook his head slowly, "No."
"I'm scared to see Dad lying here silently. I'm scared." she whispered, "That's why I dare not to leave. I'm worried that if I leave, he won't be able to wake up when I come back."
She was not with her father when her father died in her previous life.
At this moment, even though Maury was not seriously sick, she was still so scared that she didn't dare to go anywhere.
Harold didn't know how to comfort her, so he only whispered, "It's fine. Everything will be fine."
Really?
Emily asked in her heart, but she didn't say anything.
