Hearing what Emma said, Sean was taken aback first, and then said expressionlessly, "No, you are the troublemaker sent by the God to torture me."
Emma laughed. She had never thought that Sean, who had a serious face, would actually joke with her.
...
In the corridor.
Ivan and Kate were sitting in the rest area.
Neither of them looked gloomy, and never said a word from beginning to end.
The wound on Kate's palm had been treated. It didn’t bleed now. A thin layer of medical gauze was wrapped around her palm.
Sean came out of the ward with holding Emma in his arms. He passed the two persons without looking at them at all.
Ivan got up suddenly, causing Kate to look sideways.
Emma leaned in Sean's arms and let him hold her quietly.
Sean had a unique breath on himself, mixed with a faint tobacco fragrance, which was different from Ivan's refreshing taste, but it made Emma feel very reassuring.
Emma closed his eyes, leaned her head on Sean's chest, and completely ignored Ivan and Kate.
Ivan withdrew his gaze until Sean and Emma disappeared from his sight.
Kate on the side finally couldn't sit still a bit. She picked up her handbag and walked to the stairwell.
Behind the door, she deliberately stayed for a while, thinking that Ivan would catch up, but she didn't expect that there were no footsteps after a long time.
In front of the hospital's parking lot, Sean opened the car door and bent down to put Emma in.
Before Joey walked out of the gate of the hospital, Sean had already started the car.
Emma glanced at the entrance of the hospital, then turned to ask him, "Where are you taking me? Joey hasn't come out yet."
Sean focused on the way ahead with no expression on his face, "You can't live in the hotel alone now."
Hearing this, Emma panicked, "Then where are we going? You can't send me back to my grandfather, right? If he sees my injuries, how can I explain it to him?"
Sean glanced at her faintly in the rearview mirror, "Near CJ Apartment, I have a villa there. No one is there. You can live there for the time being. There is a nanny to take care of you. Your dog is also there. I don’t go back often..."
Emma finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But after a while, she felt that something was wrong again. She looked at him with her big eyes, "Why are you so good to me? Do you want to date with me?"
Sean was speechless.
Before he spoke, Emma lowered her head to examine herself first, and said, "I really can't find any good points in me. I guess your taste is not so..."
After speaking, Emma leaned on the seat listlessly.
Sean smiled...
"Holy crap! Where are they?"
Joey stood in the empty ward with a pile of medicine in his hand.
He didn't put down the medicine until the phone in the pocket of his coat rang. He took the phone out.
The screen of the phone lit up. It was a message from Emma.
He opened the unlock button, but the content pissed him off.
“Send the medicine to No. 45, CJ Villa. Come by yourself.”
He replied, “Damn it!”
After speaking, he left the ward angrily.
They looked into each other’s eyes. Emma's heartbeat was fast, which was chaotic and irregular.
It wasn't until Sean hung up the phone that Emma deliberately moved her body and pretended to see the road conditions ahead.
"I woke you up?" Sean's voice was low and steady.
"No, I’m hungry..." Emma lied.
Sean started the car, controlled the direction with his left hand, placed his right hand on the gear, and said faintly, "I have let the nanny prepare some porridge for you. But other than it, you can't eat anything..."
He added, "This is the doctor's order."
Emma was speechless and did not dare to refute.
She didn't know why she was restless along the way.
She wanted to turn her head to look at Sean, but she dared not. Besides, she didn’t know the reasons.
Sean's car and Edward's car arrived almost at the same time.
Edward closed the door and strode towards Sean's black Bentley.
When he approached the car, he noticed that there was a person sitting in the passenger seat.
He stopped, bent over and waved to Sean.
Sean parked his car into the parking space before opening the car door.
Edward did not step forward.
Sean walked to the position of passenger seat and hugged Emma out. Now, Edward curiously put his gaze on Emma's face.
In Edward's eyes, Emma was in her early twenties. Undoubtedly, she was very beautiful, especially her eyes, which were clean, free of impurities and simply pleasing to the eye. Looking at the white bandages on her wrists and ankles, Edward knew that it was not Sean who was injured.
