Now, Linda was only worried that Emily would be demotivated and would take things too hard because she was still young and couldn't bear the pain caused by this sort of matter.
"Okay, Ms. Xia. I will go with you. I don't want to go back to that home anymore." Emily's tears rolled down her cheeks. She managed to stand up from the ground and hold Linda by the hand. Her instinct told her that she should go with Ms. Xia who would be kind to her and would not harm her.
Somehow, Emily felt relieved and pleased while staying with Linda. She believed that Linda would surely give her the best guidance and give her the hope to search for her bright future, enough to bring her confidence to pursue her dreams.
This morning, Emily might have jumped down from from the roof if Linda hadn't persuaded her not to by telling her how she could take charge of her own life.
At that time, Emily thought that she would only be able to free herself from the miserable situation she was in if she jumped off the building.
If Linda hadn't meddled in this matter, things might have been left unsettled. Emily's uncle and auntie would have just ignored the situation because they didn't want to stir up trouble. After all, Emily wasn't their daughter. She was just a niece who lived with them, depending on them for her basic necessities. They disliked her very much.
When she learned that Emily wanted to go with her, Linda smiled, and she helped Emily get back up on her feet. Then, Linda left the office with Emily. At about four o'clock, when school was about to be over, Linda asked Emily to pack up her things before they would go back home together. The Mu clan's villa was a massive estate, so it was easy to find a room for Emily. There was also another important reason that Linda took Emily in. Emily was scared not only because she might not be able to go back to school without the grants, but also the fact that she was pregnant. Linda found out about it and didn't tell anyone, but she swore she would protect Emily and take care of everything for her.
Jerome was sent to the police station. The police had to interrogate him and ask whether he did such thing to Emily or not.
Linda also told Anna to keep a close watch on Jerome and make him do a paternity test. She wanted to figure out whether Jerome was the father of Emily's baby, and she had to make sure of it before she make a move, even though she had already guessed that Emily was pregnant with Jerome's baby.
Emily gasped the moment she arrived at Linda's house. She was shocked at how big Linda's house was.
When they entered the house, the servants queued up on both sides and lowered their heads, greeting, "Good afternoon, My Lady."
Linda slightly smiled and nodded at them. After the brief greetings, she went to the living room with Emily.
Linda asked the servants to set up a clean room for Emily and help her put away her clothes. After that, Linda brought Emily to the dining room for a meal.
Since Linda had no idea whether Charles would be back home for dinner, she asked a servant, "Has Young Master told you what time he would come back home today?"
The servant replied, "Young Master said that he will be back in time to have dinner with you. Would you like to wait for him? He might be here soon."
Linda nodded and asked the chef in the kitchen to prepare dinner for them.
