My Doting Husband novel Chapter 53

The ward became quiet. Emma was a little uncomfortable.

Her heartbeat was so fast. Sean's eyes kept on her face, which made her a little afraid to look at him.

After calming down for a while, Emma sat up from the hospital bed, enduring the pain. She looked up at Sean's newly bandaged right hand, and asked, "What happened to your hand?"

"Scald." Sean's tone was faint.

Emma took a breath. Scald had been the most tormenting skin trauma since ancient times. It hurt.

Recalling that he pulled out his right hand under her, Emma couldn't even think about how painful it was...

Sean did not sit down. He just stood not far from the bed.

There was a brief silence between the two. The atmosphere was a bit weird.

Emma tried to find some topics, but her mind was blank. Facing a deserted person like Sean, she really didn't know what topic would interest him.

Before Emma found out the topic, Sean spoke first, "In the future, you'd better to stay away from Joey. If something happens, he will only make thing worse and can't help much."

"..."

Emma looked at him in surprise. She didn't understand when Sean had such a big prejudice against Joey.

Then, Sean turned and walked towards the door.

Seeing Sean was about to leave, Emma hurriedly called Sean’s name without thinking too much.

Sean turned around and looked at her.

His eyes were deep. The emotions in his eyes made Emma unable to understand.

However, she bit the bullet and asked, "Why do you show up every time when I am in danger?"

Sean frowned and did not answer.

Emma still looked at him seriously, "Why are you so good to me? You know what happened today is very dangerous. If it’s a big stone to hit you, it is very likely that you will die. But why did you still rush to rescue me?"

Sean frowned deeper. He was staring at Emma. After a long time, he calmly said, "That's what I should do..."

Emma couldn't understand. She blurted out, "Did you owe me anything?"

Sean tilted his head. He looked impatient, "No!"

Emma was stunned by his attitude. Sean turned around and opened the door of the ward.

Before leaving, he turned his head and said, "Don't call my name from now on. Call me Uncle!"

On New Year's Eve.

Ivan sat alone in the high-end duplex apartment, keeping his eyes on the watch on the coffee table.

It was a cheap mechanical watch, which was no longer worthy of his identity.

He didn't throw it away. Because it was Emma who bought it for him with a month's salary...

The host on the TV was speaking auspicious remarks that had remained unchanged for several years. Snow began to flutter outside the house.

Ivan finished smoking a cigarette with a cold face. After the cigarette butt was put out in the ashtray, he lowered his head for a long time and did not lift it up again.

Today was Emma's birthday. He hadn't forgotten it.

The phone lying quietly on the sofa was picked up by him again.

He dialed the phone number which was already imprinted in his mind again and again. But he could only hear the manual service prompt of the cold machine, “The user you dialed is turned off.”
