Chapter 89 Her Father
The news was too shocking, leaving Emily unable to come to her senses for a long time.
It wasn't until the waiter filled the table with dishes that she still felt somewhat dazed.
"Emily?" Mr. Satan called gently.
"Huh?" Emily snapped out of it, realizing they were the only ones left in the private room. "Where are they?"
"They were gone," Mr. Satan said. "They didn't dare to confront me."
Emily felt somewhat disoriented. She grabbed Mr. Satan's hand, incredulously asking, "Was that man really Morgan? Did you know he had married Sophia's mother?"
"Emily, calm down first and listen to me," Mr. Satan said, gently stroking her back. "I knew this news would be difficult for you to accept, so I haven't told you. But unfortunately, we ran into them today. You would have found the truth sooner or later, and I'd rather be here with you than have you face it alone."
Emily shook her head lightly. "Twenty years ago, Sophia's mother left, and Morgan left my mother because they were already having an affair?"
"There's no evidence, and only they know what happened between them. My people could only find out they got married five years after your mother's death. What happened between them in those five years, no one knows."
Emily had lost her appetite. Her mind was in turmoil. She had often fantasized about what it would be like to reunite with her father and had thought that perhaps his departure had been for a good reason. But now, the truth was right in front of her. How could she accept it?
And what if her family found out the truth? How would they be affected?
"Don't you want to eat?"
"I... I've lost my appetite."
Mr. Satan didn't insist. Instead, he placed a bowl of porridge in front of her and gently persuaded, "You still have a baby in your belly. This porridge is easy to digest. Have a try."
Emily obediently took a few spoonfuls but couldn't taste it at all.
The next morning, when Mr. Satan got up to go to work, Emily prepared breakfast for him as usual.
Mr. Satan stopped her. "Have a good rest today. Don't worry too much. I'll have bodyguards protect your father. Even if Grace and Sophia want to see him, they won't be able to step into the hospital room."
Emily could only nod.
"I'll call Olivia to come and keep you company."
Not long after Mr. Satan left, Olivia arrived.
Emily hadn't had time to change her clothes and opened the door for her in her pajamas. "You're here."
