Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 379

Ronan accidentally stepped on a piece of protruding rock and stumbled, falling face first. However, William caught his arm in time and stopped him from falling.

Ronan instinctively raised his head and looked at the gentleman wearing a suit. He was stunned before he began to feel embarrassed and quickly said, "Thank you."

William said softly, "Welcome."

Ronan smiled and continued ahead. William was also walking by his side at a slow pace. From the looks of it, they were heading the same direction.

Ronan wasn't sure why, but he was feeling somewhat stressed. He asked, "You came out of Park Lane too, didn't you? What a coincidence. My home's in Park Lane too.

"Are you a relative of one of my neighbors? I've stayed here for some years now, but I've never seen you around."

In a cold demeanor, William said, "I can tell you a name. I'm sure you've heard of it."

"Is that so? Why don't you tell me?" Ronan said as he feigned interest. William also stopped, his tone icy as he mentioned a name. "Reggie Juste."

Ronan stopped dead in his tracks.

William continued. "I want to talk to you about the 300 million dollars."

If he was simply surprised after hearing Reggie's name, the color of his face quickly drained away when he heard about the 300 million dollars. His face was so pale that it could be compared to a dead man.

300 million dollars…

Ronan stared at William in his suit and his coat. Looking at how prideful and stern he was, he reminded him a lot of that man many years ago.

After so many years, they still sought him out.

Ronan stepped back slowly, but he immediately fell to the ground this time. No one knew if he tripped over something, or his legs lost all their strength.

…

Emelie called for a cab and took Greta to the hospital.

They had just got down from the cab when they saw Ashton waiting in front of the hospital entrance.

Emelie was quite surprised. "What a coincidence. Are you feeling unwell, Ms. Jones?"

Ashton smiled. "It's not a coincidence at all. I'm waiting for you."

Without William around, they could then act like how old colleagues would. Emelie asked, "For me?"

Ashton glanced at Greta and then came closer before whispering to Emelie, "According to Mr. Middleton, Sophie's team was the one that completed your mother's surgery. It will be best if they are the ones that perform the medical review on your mother, since they're the most familiar with your mother's physical conditions. That's why we've asked Dr. Sophie's assistant to be here today.

"She's also the one that is responsible for your mother back in the ICU for three days after the surgery. Other than Dr. Sophie, she's the one that's the most familiar with her condition."
