Chapter 175

Could she ever be worthy of a man like her brother? Absolutely not a woman like Emma Johnson. One day, she would be the one standing beside him!

Amelia White pressed her lips together, quickly masking the expression on her face.

Emma looked up and studied Amelia. The woman's bright eyes were striking, but that lavender dress was even more eye-catching!

She remembered Amelia once telling her that her favorite color was purple.

Now, connecting the dots—the purple room, the purple walls, the purple hyacinths, the purple dress...

It was infuriating! Ever since Amelia had returned, nothing felt right!

Emma shook her head fiercely, trying to shake off the strange thoughts that came with Amelia's smiling face.

"Maybe he's just stressed from work. I'll advise him to drink less in the future," Emma replied, a little guiltily.

Liam didn't believe her friendship with Elijah was purely platonic. Similarly, she knew that explaining herself to Liam would be pointless.

Emilia Clark woke up and saw a beautiful woman in the hospital room. Her eyes went wide.

"Sister Emma, your friends are so gorgeous!"

First there was Mia, beautiful enough to drive any man crazy. Now there was another one.

It was just that this one seemed... off. She was beautiful and bright, but there was something... she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Strange!

Emma nodded and laughed. "Yes, this is Amelia White, my husband's sister."

Amelia's eyes turned to Emilia and gave her a meaningful look. A glimmer of something flashed in her eyes. She said, "Hello, I'm Amelia White!"

"Oh! My name is Emilia Clark. Nice to meet you, Sister Amelia."

Amelia seemed to like Emilia very much. She asked with concern, "You look so energetic. Why are you in the hospital?"

From the surface, you simply couldn't tell that Emilia was a terminally ill girl.

Emilia lowered her head slightly, a little depressed. "What I have is blood cancer, and they haven't found a matching bone marrow donor yet, so I'm still alive..."

She paused for a moment, and her eyes returned to their previous vitality. Then she said, "I'm just hanging on."

Amelia was stunned for a moment. Hadn't they found a matching bone marrow? That wasn't easy.

"Keep a positive attitude. You might find one someday. You need hope to live. Never give up easily! I studied and lived abroad before, and I know some famous doctors. I'll ask around for you if I get a chance!"

Emilia listened and nodded excitedly. Listening to what Amelia said was like seeing a ray of light in a dark world she had been trapped in for so long.

Emma was also stunned and looked at Amelia in surprise.

Amelia noticed, approached Emma, and asked carefully, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"

"It's nothing. It's really good for Emilia to meet a friend like you. I'm happy for her. At least she has some hope of recovery now." Emma said gratefully. She truly saw Emilia as a sister.

"I won't give up!"

Emilia said excitedly, but she was a little worried. Her family wasn't rich, but she was suffering from a disease of the wealthy.

In fact, even if a matching bone marrow donor was found, the expensive surgery costs would be astronomical for her!

Amelia had always been observant. She stared at Emilia, the smile on her face deepening.

Emma moved a few times and nodded. She looked at the time. It was almost time for Liam to come back.

Just as she was thinking about him, Liam came back with three portions of wonton soup. He handed one of them to Emilia. "Eat it while it's hot. This shop's wontons are very famous!"

Emilia quickly shook her head and pointed to the leftover soup in the trash can beside her. "Those are all mine. I really can't eat any more. Let Emma eat quickly. She must be hungry."

After hearing this, Liam's hand holding the wonton box froze for a moment. So, that stupid woman Emma was a stubborn duck with a stiff mouth. She was stubborn and faint.

She never wanted to bow to him. She hadn't eaten, but she refused to say so.

Liam stared at Emma. His eyes were full of complex emotions. His mood index went from negative to full. He sat by the bed and began to feed Emma wontons, spoon by spoon.

Amelia couldn't stand it. She turned her back and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'll go out for a while."

But Emilia had a pair of envious eyes, staring at Liam and Emma. Occasionally, she would make a lovesick comment. "Sister Emma, such a handsome man, oh, are you really willing to use him?"

Emma's face was slightly red. She took a sip of the soup Liam had sent and replied, "No, what would I use him for?"

"I'm sure you would!"

"What a waste of food, or..."

At the beginning of hearing Emilia's words, Liam was very satisfied. Until he heard Emma's last words, his face turned black as charcoal.

"It's a waste of food to feed you. You're hungry!" Liam said fiercely and turned his head.

Emilia covered the quilt and laughed secretly.

Emma was stunned. Then she realized that Liam was angry again. She immediately reached out and grabbed Liam's clothes. Her eyes were very sad. "Come on, I want to eat meat!"

Liam was speechless.

Eat meat? Didn't the woman realize what she had said was wrong?

Liam immediately put the wonton box on the bedside table and suddenly leaned in close to Emma, less than ten centimeters from her face. He said seriously, "There are outsiders here. It's not very convenient, but if you don't mind, I won't mind!"

Emma was stunned and immediately put her hand against Liam's chest to stop him from approaching. "What are you going to do?"

The corner of Liam's lips curled into an evil smile. He held Emma's hand in his palm. It was a little cold. He forced her to look at him. "What do you think?"

"I... I..." Emma didn't understand, but seeing the look in Liam's eyes, even if she didn't understand it, she understood it. She immediately panicked, blushed, and explained, "I didn't mean that..."

"What did you mean?" Liam's hand suddenly tightened. This time, he came directly to Emma's ear, and his hot breath rushed onto her face, making her itch.

"Blushing woman, you are seducing me."

Emma's face immediately flushed bright red. She quickly denied it. "No!"

Emilia didn't see what they meant, but seeing their intimate relationship, she immediately raised the white flag. "Well... this is not suitable for children. Do you need me to go out and make room for you?"

Liam was speechless.

Emma was speechless.
