Viggo settled Emelia in the best hotel in the local area. Emelia changed her clothes and went to the hospital with Viggo to visit his mother.
When the car stopped in the hospital's underground parking lot and the two of them walked toward the elevator together, Viggo suddenly took Emelia' hand.
Emelia instinctively shrank back, but Viggo did not force her. He just explained in a gentle voice, "When I enter the ward later, I may hold your hand and let you get used to it in advance."
In an instant, Emelia understood Viggo's meaning. She quickly said in annoyance, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to it."
She basically didn't hold Julian's hand and rarely traveled with him, so she was not used to walking hand in hand with a man.
She quickly made a statement again, "I won't draw my hand back later. I will cooperate with you."
Viggo chuckled and said, "I need you to cooperate with them. We are still ordinary friends at other times."
The implication was that he would not disrespect her at any other time, nor would he do something he shouldn't have done to her.
"Okay." Emelia chose to trust Viggo.
From the first time when Nina introduced her to Tymers Entertainment as a part-time screenwriter until now, she had known him for more than four years.
In the first three years of working part-time, she didn't have much contact with Viggo. She mostly worked for Kelaina Salkowski and communicated with her.
But that did not affect her understanding of Viggo. Viggo had been a gentleman in this circle for so many years, and he had no gossips. He must be trustworthy.
Emelia had learned from Viggo's words that his parents were easy to get along with.
After they met, the old couple looked good.
Although the old Mrs. Johansen looked haggard because of illness, her eyes were warm.
After seeing Emelia, she raised his hand with difficulty to hold Emelia's hand and praised, "At first glance, I know you are a gentle and kind girl. That's great."
This was tantamount to admitting her admiration to Emelia. For Emelia, who had received Heather Duncan's cold shoulders and mockery countless times, Mrs. Johansen's praise made her feel infinitely warm.
Although she was only pretending to be Viggo's girlfriend, Emelia was still very touched.
Being mocked and praised by others were two completely different feelings.
She smiled gently and said, "Auntie, thank you for your praise."
Mrs. Johansen added, "It's up to yourself. I'm quite old, so I'm very good at judging people."
It could be seen that Mrs.
Johansen was really satisfied with Emelia. Emelia then sat down beside Mrs. Johansen's bed. The two of them chatted softly.
"We've known each other for several years. We've been friends for a long time. We only got together after returning home."
Mrs. Johansen nodded and took her hand, saying sadly, " Viggo has never been with anyone except for having a girlfriend when he was young. Because of this, many rumors say that he doesn't like women. It made me hurt..."
Emelia could understand Mrs. Johansen's mood. Most male artists of the same age as Viggo had married and had children, but Viggo's didn't, so the rumors about his sexual orientation had never stopped.
However, when did a self-committed man become someone else's target?
"It's all right now. With you together with him, I have nothing to worry about." When Mrs. Johansen said these words, her haggard face seemed to have recovered a lot of vitality. She was happy from the bottom of her heart.
Taking Mrs. Johansen's health into consideration, Emelia only stayed for a while before leaving.
Viggo sent Emelia back to the hotel. Emelia asked him, "Do you want to take your aunt to Riverside City for treatment?"
