Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 719

When William left, he coincidentally bumped into Jodie, who was delivering lunch to Emelie.

Jodie's eyes widened in shock as she saw William coming out of Emelie's room. She rushed inside in fear that Emelie might have been harmed.

"Ma'am!" she shouted.

However, Emelie merely stood expressionless in front of her dressing table. She took out some cotton pads from her makeup kit and wiped her lips with a makeup remover. Her eyes were as cold as ice.

Jodie instinctively looked at the bed. It showed only the usual signs of having been slept in. Emelie's hair and clothes were also not disheveled, indicating that nothing particularly alarming had happened.

Jodie breathed a sigh of relief. "Ma'am, what did William come for?"

Emelie tossed the used wipes into the trash bin. She suppressed her emotions and glanced at the breakfast Jodie was holding.

"Just put it down. I'll eat a little. I need to go see Mr. Swanson soon," she said.

Jodie noticed that Emelie didn't want to further the topic, Jodie simply replied, "Understood."

...

When Emelie arrived at the hospital, only Samuel and two nurses were in the ward.

Samuel had likely just had lunch. He was propped up at the head of the bed and looking a bit better than the previous day. Still, his lips were pale from the blood loss.

When he saw Emelie, Samuel managed a slight smile.

Emelie returned it with a polite smile. "Do you still feel pain today?"

The room was warm, and Emelie removed her bothersome scarf before tossing it onto a chair.

Samuel shook his head and asked, "Did the police come looking for you last night? What for?"

"I suppose bad news travels fast," Emelie replied calmly. "It's nothing. They just need my cooperation for an investigation. Don't worry."

Samuel was skeptical of what she said. The fact that the police had come in person in the middle of the night to take her away couldn't be a trivial matter.

Before he could press the matter further, Emelie asked, "Did Nehemiah say anything about your leg?"

Samuel paused for a moment, then touched his leg beneath the covers. "He said he'd have me fully recovered within three months, so don't worry."

Emelie smiled. "That's great. The doctor I hired will be here tomorrow, and we'll have him take a look, too. The more doctors, the better."

Samuel accepted her offer. "Alright."

Just as their conversation was ending, Bryan walked in. "Sam, have you taken your medicine?"

Samuel told Bryan he hadn't and was about to.

As a nurse was preparing to help Samuel with water, Bryan personally took a cup and poured the water for him.

He didn't glance at Emelie or acknowledge her presence at all. It was only when he handed the cup to Samuel that he said to Emelie, "Ms. Pierce, if you have nothing else, please don't disturb Sam's recovery. He needs plenty of rest now."
