Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 695

Emelie found it amusing and shook her head.

She said seriously, "Mr. Middleton, if you think that way about me, you're underestimating me. In fact, I hope for your good health the most."

It was the truth. She had no interest in killing a sick lion. He had to stay alive so she could make him pay for his past actions. Otherwise, all her hard work over the past two years would lose much of its appeal.

Jodie returned after making the call. "The rescue team said that they're on their way."

Emelie grunted in acknowledgment and opened William's wardrobe. She grabbed the thickest coat and tossed it to him. "Mr. Middleton, hang in there a little longer."

William caught the coat and observed her relaxed and pleased expression. "Are you in a good mood because your plan is working out?"

"I'm stuck here, unable to carry out my daily tasks. How could any plan be working out?" Emelie refused to admit anything while maintaining a nonchalant attitude.

She continued, "Don't you have anyone in Borealis City, Mr. Middleton? When you go to the hospital, you'll need someone to help you around. If not, you might have to hire a caregiver. However, in this weather, finding one might be tough."

William's throat hurt from coughing. Although he drank half of the glass of water she had poured him, his voice was still raspy.

William said, "You always help a person all the way, from start to finish. So, I can only trouble you further, Ms. Pierce."

Emelie squinted. "I thought lung tumors only affected the bronchi. Why does it seem like it's affecting your brain too, Mr. Middleton?"

What a joke. Imagine her sending him to the hospital and helping him with his hospital errands.

William glanced at the bodyguards staying on the first floor. "There's so many of you. You've been using my place, my resources, and my food for so many days. Don't you think you should repay me?"

Emelie sneered. "Jodie, transfer five million dollars to Mr. Middleton's account, and make a note that it's to cover our expenses for food and lodging during this time."

Jodie was about to comply when William said, "I won't accept the money."
