Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 298

“What’s wrong?” Hunter answered, in a different voice.

His voice sounded somehow distant, but Emily could tell that it was him.

She felt more familiar with it than at night.

Emily was confused and said, “Yes, I’ll finish within five minutes.”

“I’m listening,” he said and seemed to be strangely patient.

Emily took a deep breath before continuing, “Wendy lied to you. She is not your cousin, I am!”

Hearing her words, Hunter remained silent for a while.

Emily was afraid of having no time to explain, “I had Manson to take your grandma’s blood sample. After a DNA test in the hospital, the result shows that she is my immediate family.”

“If you don’t believe me, I will show you the report. You can check it according to her DNA information in the hospital.”

“She is my grandma. I have the report now.”

“Did you show it to anyone else?” Hunter asked.

Emil said, “Joe.”

Hunter stopped talking again, and it was deadly silent.

Emily wasn’t sure what he was thinking.

Before what had happened tonight, she was sure that Hunter would believe her.

However, it was different now.

When Hunter was quiet, Emily became nervous.

“If you don’t believe me, you can make a DNA test again. I’m on call.”

“As for Wendy, she indeed lied to you! Don’t trust her.”

Hunter remained quiet, which made Emily anxious.

She couldn’t stand a second anymore.

After a long time, Hunter continued, “Give the report to Liam, and I will check it.”

Emily felt relaxed hearing his words. As long as he agreed to check it, he would soon believe her.

“Alright, when will Liam come over? I’m in the dormitory of the Sharp Group.”

“Tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

Having finished talking, however, Emily didn’t want to hang up.

By talking with Hunter on the phone, although he was far away, Emily felt he was around her.

Emily was sad about his indifference tonight. But now, she missed him so much. She felt he was by her side.

So far, yet so close.

They probably would never see each other again.

That was not what Emily wanted, so she didn’t want to hang up.

However, in the end, Hunter said in a different voice, “I need to work. I’ll call you when the result comes out.”

Before she reacted, he hung up.

Sitting on the bed, Emily watched the screen dimmed slowly.

She couldn’t prevent herself from woolgathering.

It was probably because of the ginger soup, she failed to fall asleep.

As everyone knew, drinking a ginger soup at night would cause sleeplessness.

So, the next day when Emily got up, she had dark circles.

When seeing Henry, she said, “I shouldn’t drink your ginger soup.”
