When Emily opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the snow-white ceiling. Then he saw Franklin sitting in the chair next to him, leaning back slightly and falling asleep with his eyes closed. The hair on his forehead was a little disheveled, and coupled with his sleeping face, it showed a bit of childishness.
"Franklin." Emily opened her mouth and called out.
She was startled when she opened her mouth, and her voice was hoarse like a piece of sandpaper in her throat. She thought she was loud, but when she opened her mouth, her voice was so small that she couldn't hear it.
But Franklin's eyes moved and opened quickly.
He didn't know if he really heard or felt something, but when he woke up, he immediately looked at her.
Seeing that she was awake, he quickly got up from his chair and walked to her side, gently holding her hand and asking, "How are you? Are you still feeling bad?"
With that, he reached out and touched her forehead. He felt the temperature on her forehead drop and breathed a sigh of relief.
Emily was moved. Her eyes were red and moist, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Didn't you go abroad? Why are you here?"
"Do you want some water?" Franklin asked.
Emily nodded. She was really thirsty and her throat was burning.
Franklin quickly released her and went to pour a cup of warm water to help her sit up.
After drinking a glass of water, Emily felt much better.
At this time, the doctor came to check the room, knocked on the door and came in. He took her temperature and did a simple examination.
"How is it?" Franklin asked.
The doctor said, "The fever has subsided, but there is a slight pneumonia. We still need to hang some water for a few days and stay in the hospital for a few days. We can only be discharged when we recover. But Mr. Brent, don't worry, it's no big deal."
"Thank you," Franklin said.
The doctor was flattered and gave Emily some instructions before leaving.
After the doctor left, Emily looked at Franklin and asked, "When did you come back? How did I get back to the hospital? What happened before?"
"You should take good care of yourself first. We'll talk about this later." Franklin took a deep breath and squeezed out another smile.
Without waiting for Emily to speak, he turned and left.
"Franklin." Emily called out in a hurry, but Franklin ignored her.
"What should we do? Can we start the negotiation again? Who told him? I'm fine. Can't I tell him later?" Emily said with a sad face.
Lisa sighed, "There are a lot of people who know you were kidnapped by Andrew. It's not known who notified him. Anyway, when he found out about this at the negotiation site, he left those people behind and came back. As for the outcome, it is not known yet, but the chance of making it successful is quite low. No one will choose a partner who can give up negotiations halfway. However, these are not the most important. The most important thing is what happened between you and Andrew. Do you know that Andrew had a mental problem before? You're already suspected of mental illness. Now that you're okay, you're still involved with this person. The Brents are making a big fuss about this, saying that you've found your own kind and forced Mr. Brent to divorce you right away."
"Andrew has a mental illness? No wonder, I said he's crazy. He's really mentally ill!" Emily said in surprise.
"Did you listen to the main point?"
"I heard that, but what can I do? Andrew's things... I don't know myself. I really did something bad in my last life to get to know him. As for the Brents, even without Andrew's things, they would force Franklin to divorce me. I don't care what they think of me. The most important thing is what Franklin thinks, and whether he thinks I have a genetic possibility of mental illness, that's the most important thing," Emily said.
Lisa looked at her in astonishment and said after a while, "Miss Johnson, you really impressed me. I thought you were always in a daze and didn't understand anything, so you knew everything! What do you think you should do now? If Mr. Brent doesn't succeed in this negotiation and insists on being with you, have you ever thought about his consequences? Being betrayed by the Brents, even if the Brents has 58 % of his shares, there are still 42 % in the hands of others. As long as these people unite, they can take him down."
"Really... Is it that serious?" Emily muttered.
Lisa sighed and said, "It's no use telling you this. Forget it, don't tell me. Anyway, Mr. Brent will solve this problem. You just need to be a good and honest person hiding behind Mr. Brent. You don't have to worry about anything."
"Lisa, are you very dissatisfied with me?" Emily could tell that Lisa was unhappy with her.
Lisa snorted coldly, "How dare I not be satisfied with you? Mr. Brent likes you and is willing to pay for you. What can I do as a subordinate?"
