Chapter 263 Daring to Face the Main Womani
So, william had left Eastbay last night because Daphne had a car accident. The blood and disinfectant smell on his coat were all trom Daphne.
He even stayed by her side all night. That truly was devoted.
Emelie looked at Olivia and Daphne and then spoke slowly, “I’ll be staying at Eastbay tonight, and probably be with William for the next few days. Daphne, you can keep calling him to take him away. I won’t stop him as long as he’s willing to go with you.”
Daphne froze for a moment, then straightened up, “You—”
Her eyes welled up with tears. She looked as if she had suffered a great blow. She kept stammering, unable to say anything
Olivia was even angrier. She tried to push Emelle. “You little wretch, what did you just say?”
Emelie dodged her hand effortlessly. She smirked indifferently and then turned to leave.
Olivia kept cursing from behind, “You’re brazen enough to flaunt your affair in front of the main woman! Have you no shame?!
Emelie stopped in the elevator. They took her words as a provocation.
But honestly, she meant every word. She genuinely hoped Daphne could keep William basy enough to leave her alone.
She quickly put Oliva and Daphne out of her mind, leaving no trace
Emelie arrived at the IC to see Greta and was pleasantly surprised to find that she had woken up. Though she was still intubated and unable to speak, Greta was conscious. The ICU nurse leaned in to say a few words to Greta because she knew how worried Emelie had been. Emelle had stayed by Greta’s side for several days.
From outside, Emelie saw Greta raise her hand and blink her eyes.
She understood that Greta was trying to signal her. At that moment, Emelie felt that enduring Willian these past few days had been worth it. Greta was truly recovering. Greta had been in a coma before, and Emelie couldn’t bear to leave her side. Now that Greta was awake and responsive, Emelie was even more reluctant to go. She kept checking on her through the glass now and then.
Emelie wanted to stay overnight at the hospital. William could stay with Daphne for a whole night, she could remain with Greta also.
Fate didn’t abide by the wishes of the people. William called her at 10pm.
Emelie answered, and he only said two words, “Come down.”
It seemed he had come to the hospital Emelle had no choice. She took one last look at Greta and headed downstairs.
William’s car was parked at the hospital entrance. She walked over to it and saw Abel in the front seat. She stood by the back window and greeted, “Mr. Middleton.”
William didn’t look at her. He was focused on the tablet in his hands. His command was briet, “Get in”
Emelie got into the car. Neither of them spoke as the car drove through the streets. Emelle started out the window
Capebett City was a world–class metropolis. The words most often used to describe it included “prosperous and expensive“, “skyscrapers“, “neon lights“, and “decadence“. There was also the saying that every Capebatt City’s citizen had coffee running through their veins instead of blood.
This city was full of material desires. The building it up at night, forming a dazzling skyline.
As they passed through a tunnel, the light outside dimmed. The car’s interior lights cast reflections of their profiles on the window. mehe looked at Witham’s reflection.
His features were sharp, and his silence made him seem even more unapproachable. He was no longer looking at the tablet. His head was propped up on his hand, eyes closed, as if he were resting-
Emelle quickly realized they weren’t returning to Eastbay, nor were they going to her apartment. They were going somewhere she didn’t recognize,
She immediately asked Abel, “Where are we going?”
“Lakeside Villa,“William answered
Emelie was taken aback “Right now?” she thought it was tomorrow.
She quickly realized another problem. “But I haven’t packed anything.”
“That’s your problem,” William said flatly “I told you to go back early and pack. You chose not to listen.”
Emelie had no way of knowing he would leave so abruptly,
“I didn’t bring any clothes, What am I supposed to do at the villa?” Emelie knew that the villa was in a remote area where shopping for necessities wasn’t convenient.
William wanted her to face the consequences for not listening “That’s your problem.”
Emelie was speechless. She bither lip. “Stoop the car at the next exit so I can finda clothing store.”
William didn’t respond, and Abel naturally didn’t stop
William opened his eyes and lowered his elbow. He shifted his position, lazily turning his head towards her. “You can stay in your room and wear my clothes thave plenty of shirts.
