But now, her call comes in. Accidents are bound to happen.
"Miss Emma, there's something I need to ask of you. I'm so sorry. The company asked me to work overtime today. I can't make it back to be with her at noon. So..." The woman on the other end sounded hesitant.
"Don't worry, Aunt Susan. I'll go with her right now."
I had nothing to do at the magazine anyway. Taking some time to see Emilia would be a good distraction.
"Oh, I don't know how to thank you, Miss Emma!" Aunt Susan sounded relieved when she heard my answer.
Emma hung up, hailed a taxi, and got in.
She headed straight to the hospital.
Emilia's hospital was a good distance from her own company. She was right at the company's entrance, but she couldn't be bothered to go in, so she went to Emilia's hospital instead.
Lately, her boss had been driving her crazy. She wasn't a pregnant woman, so why was he being so overly protective?
He practically wanted Ava to pour a glass of water for her!
Sigh, her life and work had become idle, but she wasn't happy at all. She was completely worn out and bored!
Taking a taxi to the hospital, Emma went straight to the ward.
As soon as she walked in, Emilia saw Emma. A flicker of cunning flashed in her eyes before she narrowed them. "Sister Emma? What are you doing here?"
"Your mother asked me to keep you company. Why? Not happy to see me?" Emma asked deliberately.
"Why wouldn't I be? I'm thrilled. What about that handsome guy you were with yesterday? Why didn't he come?" Emilia was thinking about Daniel.
God knows if she had fallen for that hateful jerk at first sight.
"Oh, you mean Daniel Taylor? I'm not close to him. It's no use asking me." Emma sat down beside her bed with a smile, reached out, and pinched Emilia's little face. "You look good. You're recovering well."
Emilia, flattered by the praise, immediately perked up. "Of course! I'm eating well now, and I feel great!"
When it came to food, Emilia really did feel a little hungry. She looked at Emma with delight. "Sister Emma, how about we go out to eat?"
"Well, what would you like to eat?" Emma's spirits lifted at the mention of food.
Two foodies had met.
What else could they do but think about eating?
Emma was just about to head out when she heard Emilia's small voice behind her. "Um, Sister Emma, should we go out the back door?"
"Why go out the back door? Are we stealing something?" Emma was a little surprised.
"The doctor won't let me go out. He said he's afraid something might happen to me..."
Emma was speechless.
"If you'd told me earlier, we could have just ordered takeout. Is that okay?" Emma stretched her long legs and walked back.
"Oh..." Hearing the word "takeout," Emilia's mood instantly soured.
Takeout every day.
Was this going to kill her?
Actually, she would have loved to let Emma take her out for a walk. It seemed her plan had failed.
Emma ordered a pizza. After they finished eating, they lay in bed talking about men, then took a nap.
Two hours later, Emma had a dream. She dreamed of a lot of delicious food, but when she woke up, she found nothing in front of her.
Emma was acutely aware that takeout was really unreliable!
How could a pizza fill you up?
Emilia was drawing on the windowsill and looked at Emma. "Are you awake? Sister Emma, what's wrong? You look depressed. Indigestion? I told you, takeout isn't good, right?"
Seriously, Emma just felt hungry.
"No, just hungry." Emma covered her stomach and said softly.
"I'm starving too, Sister Emma. Shall we go out to eat? Takeout is all junk food. There's nothing good to eat. Trust me..." Emilia put down her brush and ran over to stir things up.
"You can't leave the hospital. I'll just go out and buy it for you..." Emma gave her a look. She wanted to go out, but there was no way!
"Sister Emma, you can take me out just once. I haven't left this godforsaken place in so long. If this goes on, even if the disease doesn't kill me, I'll suffocate! Please, okay? Just one hour! I promise I'll listen to you..."
Emilia raised her hand over her head and swore seriously.
Emma was just too soft-hearted.
She couldn't resist a few soft words from others.
"One hour?" Emma's mind was racing. In one hour, nothing should happen. After dinner, she would send Emilia back without anyone knowing.
The girl on the other side nodded vigorously.
"Come on, let's go and come back quickly..."
After a heated discussion, they decided to go to a restaurant in the city center for Western food. However, that place was right across from the Pinnacle Corporation building.
The distance was less than a hundred meters, just across a road.
At 4:30 PM, they arrived at the restaurant.
Then, they ordered almost all the signature dishes in the place!
Emma looked at the dishes on the big table and wondered if she should call Liam to share them. But then she thought, weren't they in a cold war?
Whether Liam would even answer his own phone was a problem.
Besides, she only had an hour, so she gave up the idea.
Halfway through the meal, Emma got up to go to the bathroom.
Passing by the door, she looked at the magnificent Pinnacle Corporation building outside. Her heart was still a little uneasy. At this moment, was Liam holding a meeting, working hard inside, or thinking of her like she was thinking of him?
She sighed a little in her heart, but she didn't call to bother him. Although she cared about whether Liam was angry or not, she wanted to hear his voice now, even if it was as low and indifferent as ever.
After all, when did Emma often think of his chiseled face, and his wicked smile often appeared in her mind?
A moment later, when Emma came back after washing her hands, something really happened. She only saw that Emilia's nose was bleeding non-stop. Several waiters in the restaurant were busy helping her deal with it, but they still couldn't stop the bleeding.
It was bleeding, and it showed no sign of stopping.
Emma was frightened by the scene. "Emilia, what's wrong with you? What's happening?"
She hurried to her side and blocked her nose with a napkin, but it still didn't work.
Emma's head roared, and her whole scalp went numb with fear.
It was the first time she had seen so much blood, and she didn't know what to do.
