Emelia had thought that just one meal from afar would be enough. She hadn't expected that he would come again the next night.
When Emelia opened the door and saw the man standing outside, she instinctively didn't want him to enter. "Mr. Hughes, my feet have recovered. You really don't have to come."
"After all, you were injured because of me. I can't rest assured until you completely recover." After saying these words without changing his expression, he strode past Emelia and entered the room.
Emelia forced herself to accept his care again and cooked him a cup of coffee after dinner. The two of them spent another peaceful night together.
On the third night, when he went back to visit, Emelia wasn't at home.
Julian stood at the door of her house and called her with a gloomy face. Emelia said on the phone, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hughes. I have gone out."
Hearing this, Julian immediately frowned and said, "Have you recovered? Does the doctor allow you to run around?"
Emelia replied seriously, "I've been persisting in spewing medicine for the past three days and my swelling has long subsided. There's no problem with my actions."
Julian paused for a moment and then asked, "Where have you been?"
"A distant place." Emelia replied.
Obviously, she didn't want to tell him her destination, so Julian had to grit his teeth and said, "Be careful."
"Thanks."
They simply chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. Julian looked down at the delicious dinner in his hand and suddenly lost the desire to eat.
He didn't know what was wrong, but he with Emelia these two nights. His appetite was quite good.
Ever since he had been admitted to the hospital due to stomach disease last time, his appetite had been very bad. No matter how all kinds of delicacies were placed in front of him, he didn't have the appetite.
He returned to his residence with dinner. While eating, he called Maisie and asked her if she knew where Emelia had gone.
Maisie said she didn't know, nor did she hear from Emelia that she was going to another city.
After hanging up the phone, Julian thought for a moment and contacted Nina.
Nina smiled happily on the phone, "Of course I know."
Julian came straight to the point and asked, "Where did she go?"
Nina did not hide anything. "It's Viggo's hometown."
Julian had a bad feeling in his heart. "What is she doing there?"
Nina smiled and said, "Mr. Hughes, I guess you already have an answer in your heart. It doesn't matter.
Just tell me the answer in your heart."
Julian almost choked to death because of Nina's words.
He did have an answer in his heart, but the answer was so heart-piercing to him.
When Viggo's mother was ill, Emelia went to visit her. There was no need to think too much to understand the meaning behind it.
Even before this, the relationship between Emelia and Viggo was not real, but after this visit, it was confirmed.
Nina continued, "Mr. Hughes, people's hearts are soft, so is Emelia."
Julian couldn't suppress his anger. He sneered and said, "She always said that she loved me. Is this her so-called love? She just got divorced and turned to another man's arms!"
Nina's stone was full of mockery. "Mr. Hughes, with all due respect, you've been divorced for more than a year. If you put a child on someone who's fast enough to get married, Emelia would be considered conservative."
Julian's heart sank after hearing Nina's words. He hung up the phone without saying anything.
