Emma cried on the other side of the phone, "Hiram, Rebecca committed suicide last night, and she is still in the emergency room. I'm afraid that something might happen to her. You'd better go back to the L city to see her for the last time! "
Over these years, Hiram had actually forgotten that Emma would cry. After she came back to life, he had never seen her cry again. Her expression was as hard as iron, as if she would no longer cry after what had happened in the past.
Hiram still remembered that when Emma was young, she would cry, and often followed behind him and Chester. When she was wronged, she would sniff in a low voice, which was really pitiful. What made Emma change to a calm and emotionless puppet? People would never see through what was hidden under her mask. They would never know what she was thinking. She even planned to cover her face with a mask so that people couldn't see the real Emma.
But now, when he heard the helpless voice of Emma, he was stunned. He tried his best to calm down and comforted her on the other end of the phone, "Emma, don't cry. Take your time. I'll be back to the L city soon. Rebecca will be fine! "He tried to comfort her, but in the end, he didn't know what he was talking about.
His mind went blank. If something happened to Rebecca, Emma would have no relatives in the world.
Although Emma's mother was still alive, she was not close to Emma. That was why he felt so sorry for Emma. His heart seemed to be pulled by something, and he spoke incoherently. At last, after he hung up the phone, his face was still blank. He just only felt shock, as well as heartache.
Alline looked at Hiram anxiously, and asked him after a while, "What's wrong, Hiram? "
"Alline, let's go back to the L city right now! "Without answering her question, he stood up straight from his seat and strode out. In a hurry, Alline followed him. She had just heard that something seemed to have happened to Rebecca.
The day before yesterday, Rebecca was still in the HC City. How could something happen to her all of a sudden? Alline was also confused.
Hiram called Jenny and asked her to arrange a private air route for him. If the private air route couldn't be arranged, he would like Jenny to book the fastest airline to the L city. Then he asked Jacob to call the doctor. After arranging a series of things, he raised his hand slightly and rubbed his head in a somewhat decadent way. His tone was full of deep sadness. "Alline, I don't understand why Rebecca would commit suicide. She is more outgoing than Emma. She dares to love and hate. For so many years, she has changed from a rash girl to a delicate girl for me. I have been feeling sorry for her. If anything happens to her, I will be guilty all my life. Alline, do you know? "
As for the matter between Rebecca and Hiram, Alline didn't know much. She reached out her hand, held his hand which was slightly cold, and comforted him in a low voice, "Hiram, Rebecca will be fine. Let's go back to pack up. Don't worry. Rebecca will be fine! "
She could feel that his fingers were trembling. She held his hand tightly as if she was going to give him some strength, but she said in her heart, "Hiram, don't be afraid. I'm here, right next to you. Touch me and feel my warmth."
Holding her in his arms, Hiram buried his face in her chest. He could feel her warm heartbeat through the clothes. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Alline, I can't let anything happen to Rebecca! "
"She will be fine, Hiram. Trust me, Rebecca will be fine! "Ever since the first expression on Hiram's face changed, Alline's heart had been wrenching. She was afraid that he would do something crazy.
