Hello, Mr. Brent novel Chapter 203

Three years later.

Emily brought Bryce back to Lancaster. After four years, she finally came back.

Of course, she didn't come back for Franklin this time. James was here to give a lecture, but he hadn't acclimatized here and was hospitalized the next day. Although there were many people taking care of him, Emily still worried about him. Therefore, she made up her mind and came here with Bryce.

Since James was a famous professor, it was natural that a good hospital was arranged for him.

Emily visited him with Bryce. She knocked on the door before entering.

James was stunned to see them and said, "How come you two are here?"

"I was afraid that you wouldn't be taken good care of, so I came with Bryce. How are you? Are you still feeling bad?" Emily walked over and stroked his forehead naturally.

James was touched and shook his head. "I'm fine. It's just that I haven't acclimatized here. I'll be fine in two days."

"Dad, Bryce misses you so much." Bryce rubbed his face against James' and said in a childish voice.

Bryce was his nickname, which was given by Emily. He had liked to pout from childhood, so he was given the nickname Bryce.

James also stroked his head dotingly and said, "Dad misses you too! When dad is well, I'll take you out, okay?"

"Great, great." Bryce clapped his tiny hands happily and exclaimed.

Emily pulled him away at once and said, "Dad is not feeling well. Don't disturb him. Play here on your own. Be good, or I'll send you back to kindergarten."

When Bryce heard that he was going to be sent back to kindergarten, he stuck out his tongue immediately and promised, "Bryce will be good."

After that, he took out his toys, curled up on the sofa and started to play with them.

Emily smiled and asked James, "What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

"Don't bother. The hospital provides food."

"Based on your physical condition, it's better for you to have some millet porridge. The menu of the hospital canteen isn't so thoughtful. When I came in, I saw a porridge shop outside. I'll go take a look." Emily stood up as she spoke, told Bryce to behave and left.

James could not change her mind, so he could only lie on the bed and wait, but felt sweet inside.

Emily left the ward and walked towards the elevator. Just as she reached the corner, she heard someone calling her suddenly.

"Emily?"

The interrogative tone in his voice indicated that he seemed to be uncertain.

Emily shuddered. In fact, she had assumed that she would meet some old acquaintances when she came back this time. Four years had passed, and she didn't want to hide from people all along. Franklin and Avery might have long got married! There was no point in hiding from them, but she didn't expect to meet anyone so soon.

She turned her head around stiffly and saw a doctor in a white coat walking towards her anxiously.

"Emily, it's really you!" The man said in surprise.

Emily frowned slightly and looked at him in astonishment.

The man said immediately, "Don't you remember me? I'm Hunter, your mother's... husband."

"It's you. You work in this hospital?" Emily remembered and asked with an awkward smile at once.

It wasn't that she didn't remember Hunter, but that Hunter looked so different from what he had looked like four years ago. At that time, he had used be a gentle boy. It didn't occur to her that he should have become a mature and charming man in four years.

Not only did he look different, but his temperament had also changed a lot.

"I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be you. How come you are here? Where have you been for the past four years? You don't even know that your mother has been looking for you for a long time and hasn't heard from you. Why are you here all of a sudden?" Hunter asked many questions in one breath.

Emily smiled bitterly. She didn't know how to answer him, so could only reply embarrassedly, "It's a long story. Are you and my mother okay? When I left, my mother said that she was pregnant, and now the child must be more than four years old! Do you still live in the same place? I still have something to do now and have to get some porridge for a patient. When I'm free, I'll go see her."
