Kayden and his men stayed almost motionlessly in the hospital parking lot for a very long time. About an hour later, Emmett finally crooked his finger at them and said indifferently, "Let's go."
"Oh! Let's go!" Kayden waved his hand and called over to his men. He looked at Emmett cautiously who still kept his eyes closed, and then he asked Emmett a question timidly.
"But ... where should we go?"
The true thought in Emmett's heart was that he did not care where to go at all!
Without Elaine, the girl he loved, by his side, everywhere was as cold as ice!
"I don't care." Emmett took off his hands covering his face. Kayden even saw tearstains at the corner of Emmett's eyes!
Kayden knew that his Young Master was sad.
"Then ... shall we go back to the villa?"
Emmett ignored Kayden's question, but Kayden took that for acceptance. Then, he gave the chauffer a look and the fleet of cars drove towards Emmett's villa by the seaside.
As they walked into the villa, the butler and the servants all lined up to greet Emmett respectfully.
"Master Smith, welcome back."
Without saying a word, Emmett threw his jacket on the floor and went upstairs.
The old butler was startled. (⊙_⊙) Seeing that Emmett throw the jacket which cost tens of thousands on the carpet like garbage, he picked it up and brushed the dusk off it while staring at Kayden. He asked Kayden, "What happened? Why is Master Smith so unhappy? He is behaving weirdly."
"You're darn right!" Kayden shrugged and curled his lips. He looked up and whispered, "Ms. Jones broke up with Master Smith."
"What? They broke up?" The butler was shocked, "Are you sure?"
...
"They broke up! Of course, I'm sure! Our Master met with Ms. Jones, and then she fainted out of anger. We just came back from the hospital, didn't we? In the hospital, Ms. Jones broke up with Master Smith."
"What a pity! I always think that Ms. Jones is a nice girl. She is down-to-earth, and she gets along well with Master Smith. I have even talked with the other servants in private that Master Smith might marry Ms. Jones one day. But why did they break up again?"
Kayden shook his head, "Well, it's hard to say if they will get back together this time."
As the blood debt between the two of them had been exposed, how could they still be together?
From now on, Kayden might not be unlucky again because of Elaine..., but he was not happy at all, opposite to what he had thought.
Just like Emmett, Kayden was also in a bad mood.
When Elaine woke up, it was already two in the morning.
She opened her eyes and saw the white ceiling first. She had always been slow-witted in the past, but she understood everything quickly this time.
She stared at the white ceiling and smiled miserably. She thought to herself, 'I wish I was dead! I wouldn't be so painful or have to go through all this torture if I died!'
'This was too fucking painful!'
Elaine let out a soft sigh, turned around and saw someone sleeping beside her at her bed.
Elaine noticed that it was Mark!
She wondered if he had been there with her all this time.
She looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was past two o' clock in the morning. She sighed again because she knew how tired Mark was and how much he cared about her.
She thought, 'Mark ... Mark ... If I hadn't met Emmett, perhaps you and I would have become a happy couple. I was just a nobody in high school, while you were a genius. How honored and happy I would be if I could win the favor of you!'
If ... if she hadn't met Emmett ... she might have thought that being with Mark was her greatest happiness.
Elaine smiled faintly, but her smile was bitter.
She got off the bed and walked quietly to the window in a shirt. She drew the curtains to look into the night sky. She couldn't help but stare blankly at it.
...
'Where is Emmett sleeping now?'
'Is he in his huge bed in his villa?'
'Or is he sleeping in a woman's bed?'
Thinking of Emmett, Elaine felt that her heart ached and that she could not breathe. She placed her hand on her chest and rubbed her skin there with her hand, gasping.
Her hand was ice-cold.
Elaine lowered her head and saw tearstain on her hand.
She realized that her face was already covered with tears.
'What should I do? What should I do?'
'Why can't I let go even after I knew why he chose to approach me?'
