Emily leaned against the wall in pain as if there was a hole in her heart, and it was bleeding out.
She never expected to meet Franklin so soon, and Franklin still treated her this way. He clearly saw her, but he didn't say a word. Instead, he turned around and left resolutely.
Back in the ward, Emily's face was still pale.
James looked at her in surprise and asked, "What's wrong? You look so pale after you get back."
"Nothing." Emily shook her head quickly.
Bryce ran over and hugged Emily's leg, "Mom, I want to go out and play."
After all, he was only three years old, and boys at this age always look for fun. He had been in the ward for most of the day, so it would be strange if he was not bored.
James said quickly, "You can take him out! I'm fine here. It's not a big deal anyway, and I can be discharged in two days. How about you take him home first?"
"I'll take him out for a walk and wait until you're discharged." Emily said.
Seeing that she was so determined, James nodded and watched them leave gently.
And Emily took Bryce around in the hospital first. Bryce was not satisfied and insisted on going outside.
Emily thought for a while. It was not far from the flower shop that she and Joyce owned, so she took Bryce there.
For four years, she hadn't contacted anyone in Lancaster, so she didn't know if the flower shop was still there. In fact, she was very sorry at that time. After all, she owned part of the flower shop. But back then, she didn't even say goodbye and left the shop to Joyce alone.
"Mom, the flowers there are so beautiful." Bryce saw the flower shop at the first glance and pointed excitedly at it while speaking to Emily.
Emily also smiled with relief. She didn't expect that the flower shop would still be here after four years.
She quickly led Bryce over. A shop assistant was busy at the door. Seeing her, she quickly smiled and said, "Miss, how can I help you?"
"Is your boss here?" Emily asked quickly.
"Boss?" The shop assistant looked surprised and said, "Yes, may I ask what's it about?"
"We're friends. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so..."
"Emily? Oh my God, are you Emily?" With a cry, Emily was hugged before she could react.
"Let go of my mother, let go of her." Bryce looked upset and slapped the person on the thigh.
"Ouch, who is this little guy? Who are you?" Joyce let go of Emily and looked down at Bryce in surprise.
Emily didn't know whether to laugh or cry and quickly said to Bryce, "Bryce, don't be rude. This is mom's good friend. Call auntie."
"Ah, you already have a child." Joyce said in surprise.
Emily rubbed Joyce's face and said, "Joyce, it's been a long time. I miss you so much. You must have gained some weight. I almost didn't recognize you just now."
Joyce, "..."
