"Call 911, hurry..." one of the waiters shouted.
Yes, yes, yes. Don't panic at a time like this. Don't panic at all.
Some kind-hearted people nearby had already called the emergency center.
But even so, could they just wait?
Emilia had lost so much blood. What if the paramedics arrived too late? Could she afford to lose that much blood?
"Or... take my car and drive her to the nearest hospital first," a warm-hearted older woman nearby suggested.
"No, it's rush hour, and we're in the city center. The traffic is terrible. If we get stuck on the road, it'll just delay the rescue even more."
Neither this nor that... What should they do?
Emma was crying, completely at a loss.
Right now, besides waiting, the only thing she could think of was to call Liam for help. He was the closest. As long as he came, maybe there would be a way.
Emma pulled her phone out of her bag and dialed Liam's number.
At that moment, Liam was discussing work with Christopher in his office when he suddenly received her call.
Liam hesitated. Why was she calling at this hour?
Remembering what had happened yesterday, Liam hardened his heart and pressed the end button. He didn't want to deal with Emma right now.
Emma's tears fell freely. Liam had deliberately hung up on her, but right now, besides him, she truly couldn't think of anyone else to turn to.
Knowing that Liam was still angry with her, she still had the nerve to dial that familiar number again and again.
Her anxious heart silently prayed. Liam, please answer. Please pick up.
Liam lowered his head and hung up several times, but Emma kept calling his number.
The gloomy atmosphere on his face grew heavier. Christopher couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Sir, you'd better answer it this time. I think something important must have happened on Mrs. Williams' side."
Yeah, if it wasn't urgent, she probably wouldn't keep calling like this.
Liam held his phone, his brows tightly furrowed, his lips pressed together. Finally, he pressed the answer button. Before he could speak, Emma's tearful voice came through the phone, "Liam, there's been an accident here. Please, come and help me. I don't know what to do. There's blood... so much blood... wuwuwu..."
Emma sniffled, her voice full of fear and helplessness. "Besides you, I don't know who else to turn to. Liam, please come quickly... I'm begging you."
Liam held the phone, hearing only her panicked voice and intermittent sobs. He immediately stood up from his seat and said, "What happened? Where are you? I'll be right there..." Then he gave Christopher a look, signaling him to grab the car keys from the table.
Christopher saw his nervous expression and immediately understood.
They walked out of the president's office together.
Through the phone, Emma cried, "I'm at the restaurant across from your company. Liam, please come. I don't know what to do."
"Okay, don't worry. I'll be right there. Wait for me..." Liam entered the elevator, his face hardening.
Up until this morning, Liam's mood had been extremely angry. He had nothing to say to Emma.
Her deceitful and insidious nature had all been exposed. Liam just wanted to continue using her to find out about Elijah and the team behind him.
He had made up his mind last night that he and Emma would only maintain a nominal husband-wife relationship. He couldn't be bothered to manage her life. He didn't want to answer her call just now, but Emma had called so many times in a row that he grew worried.
When he heard Emma say something had happened, his whole heart was suspended in the air, and even his breathing became a little short.
He was worried about her. He cared about Emma from the bottom of his heart.
In his eyes, heart, and mind... all he could see was her helpless and crying face.
Christopher was standing beside him at this moment. He never thought Liam would become like this.
Before, no matter how big the problem, Liam could calmly handle it. But now, Christopher could vaguely feel his panic and tension.
All of this was because of a single phone call from the young lady. Christopher said in a low voice, "Sir, it will be okay. Don't be too nervous..."
Nervous?
When Liam heard that word, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
When had he ever been nervous?
And why was he nervous?
Liam's face darkened, and he didn't speak.
In his heart, he had completely forgotten about last night's decision.
No hatred, no doubt. At this moment, Liam's only thought was Emma.
With a "ding," the elevator doors opened. Liam quickly walked outside, buttoning his coat. In a low voice, he said, "Christopher, go get the car. I'll be at the restaurant across from the company."
"Yes, sir." After that, Christopher ran to the parking lot.
Liam was almost running. Although Emma wasn't far from him, he couldn't wait another minute.
At the restaurant.
When the door was pushed open, Liam's slender figure appeared before her eyes. Emma's eyes were full of tears. Seeing him was like seeing a savior. Tears still flowed, and she stood frozen in place.
He was here.
When she was at her most helpless and miserable, he came.
Like an angel, every time Emma was in danger, Liam would appear.
Emma looked at the light behind him, her eyes lost. She was deeply moved.
Didn't he say he was going to leave her alone?
Didn't he say he wouldn't talk to her?
Didn't he say he wouldn't answer the phone?
Liam felt a pang of pain when he saw Emma like this. She didn't seem to be hurt.
After taking two steps, he saw the little girl surrounded by many people. She had fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
"What happened? Why are you here?" Liam looked around and saw that the comatose girl was in bad shape. He said, "Did you call an ambulance?"
"Yes, but it hasn't arrived yet. I think it's stuck in traffic. Liam, what should I do? I brought Emilia out..." Emma stood behind him and whispered.
Her tone was full of guilt and helplessness.
What?
This troublemaker couldn't go three days without causing trouble. And when she did, she made such a big mess.
After hearing this, Liam's face sank. His cold eyes glanced at Emma. He pursed his lips and didn't say another word.
