When Emily returned to Hunter’s ward, Hunter was still lying on the bed without any response.
"Has the doctor been here?" Emily asked.
Liam nodded. "The doctor said that the current situation of Young Master is difficult to explain medically."
"But, Miss Emily, the doctor also said that if you inject him with enough faith to make him willing to wake up, he will definitely do it."
"Enough faith?" Emily sat beside the bed and looked at Hunter’s face which paled from mass bleeding.
"At the very least, you have to make him feel that after he wakes up, he will have a bright future."
A bright future … He was Hunter, he had everything he wanted. Was this not bright enough?
Emily lowered her eyes and looked at Hunter’s eyebrows, which were knitted even though he was in a coma.
Perhaps, she understood what Liam meant, but she didn’t have the courage to make promises.
"Miss Emily, it’s not that I want to force you to do anything. I just hope that you can think about it clearly. Is the past more important, or is the future more worthy of your focus?"
Liam left, leaving space for them.
When there was no other person in the room, Emily let herself go and she held Hunter’s big palm. Her eyes were wet.
In fact, there was no need to hesitate about which was more important.
"But I..." She lowered her eyes and looked at the big palm that she was holding.
"I am a person who is overwhelmed by public opinion, and you are Young Master of the Jackson family, the future of the Jackson family."
She bit her lips and felt doleful. Even her voice was choked.
"Hunter, I understand you, but I really can’t be with you. The identity of Mrs. Jackson is too much for me. My past will be exposed thoroughly."
"Mrs. Jackson once drugged her cousin and tried to do something that was ethically intolerable. You know how much damage such a person would do to the reputation of the Jackson family, don’t you?"
Hunter’s fingers moved, and Emily was stunned. She lowered her head and stared at his hand.
"Hunter, you can hear me, right?"
Hunter’s fingers moved again. He could actually hear her!
Emily was excited and immediately held his hand tightly. "Hunter, wake up, okay?"
But this time, he didn’t respond at all.
Emily still held his palm with both hands. The doctor said that she needed to talk to him so that he could have the will to live.
Originally, Emily felt that it was not as serious as she thought.
However, he still didn’t wake up. At the beginning, she was uneasy, but now, she was anxious and panicked.
As long as he woke up, everything would be fine!
"Hunter, I really didn’t mean to hide from you, but I panicked. I don’t know if I should forgive you or not."
His fingers moved slightly again. Emily’s heart ached. Sure enough, he cared about these things.
The dignified Young Master of the Jackson family actually cared so much about her, a woman with disgrace. Why?
"I really don’t know what to do."
Originally, she was talking to him in order to enhance his will to survive.
However, she really didn’t know what to do. She really … didn’t want to lie to him.
Emily leaned against his arm and closed her eyes. There were tears in her eyes, but she didn’t let them flow out.
Crying was the behavior of the weak, but why would tears be there even though they knew that crying was useless?
Hunter opened his eyes and looked at her long, smooth hair.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and whispered, "You don’t know what to do? Then, leave your future to me, and I’ll tell you what to do, okay?"
Emily was shocked and suddenly raised her head. The moment she met his eyes, tears finally rolled down her cheeks.
"Doctor!" She turned around and looked outside the door. "Doctor, he’s awake. He …"
"I’ve woken up a long time ago." Hunter sat up from the bed.
Emily hurried over to support him, but his strength was stronger than hers.
