Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 203

Three years later.

Emily brought Bryce back to Lancaster. After four years, she finally cameback.

Of course, she didn't come back for Franklin this time. James was hereto give a lecture, but he hadn't acclimatized here and was hospitalizedthe next day. Although there were many people taking care of him,Emily still worried about him. Therefore, she made up her mind andcame here with Bryce.

Since James was a famous professor, it was natural that a good hospitalwas arranged for him.

Emily visited him with Bryce. She knocked on the door before entering.James was stunned to see them and said, "How come you two arehere?"

"I was afraid that you wouldn't be taken good care of, so I came withBryce. How are you? Are you still feeling bad?" Emily walked over andstroked his forehead naturally.

James was touched and shook his head. "I'm fine. It's just that I haven'tacclimatized here. I'll be fine in two days."

"Dad, Bryce misses you so much.” Bryce rubbed his face against James’and said in a childish voice.

Bryce was his nickname, which was given by Emily. He had liked to poutfrom childhood, so he was given the nickname Bryce.

James also stroked his head dotingly and said, "Dad misses you too!When dad is well, I'll take you out, okay?"

"Great, great.” Bryce clapped his tiny hands happily and exclaimed.Emily pulled him away at once and said, "Dad is not feeling well. Don'tdisturb him. Play here on your own. Be good, or I'll send you back tokindergarten.”

When Bryce heard that he was going to be sent back to kindergarten,he stuck out his tongue immediately and promised, "Bryce will begood.”

After that, he took out his toys, curled up on the sofa and started toplay with them.

Emily smiled and asked James, "What do you want to eat? I'll get it foryou."

"Don't bother. The hospital provides food.”

"Based on your physical condition, it's better for you to have somemillet porridge. The menu of the hospital canteen isn't so thoughtful.When I came in, I saw a porridge shop outside. I'l go take a look.” Emilystood up as she spoke, told Bryce to behave and left.

James could not change her mind, so he could only lie on the bed andwait, but felt sweet inside.

Emily left the ward and walked towards the elevator. Just as shereached the corner, she heard someone calling her suddenly.

“Emily?”

The interrogative tone in his voice indicated that he seemed to beuncertain.

Emily shuddered. In fact, she had assumed that she would meet someold acquaintances when she came back this time. Four years hadpassed, and she didn't want to hide from people all along. Franklin andAvery might have long got married! There was no point in hiding fromthem, but she didn't expect to meet anyone so soon.

She turned her head around stiffly and saw a doctor in a white coatwalking towards her anxiously.

"Emily, it's really you!" The man said in surprise.

Emily frowned slightly and looked at him in astonishment.

The man said immediately, "Don’t you remember me? I'm Hunter, yourmother's... husband.”

"It's you. You work in this hospital?" Emily remembered and asked withan awkward smile at once.

It wasn't that she didn't remember Hunter, but that Hunter looked sodifferent from what he had looked like four years ago. At that time, hehad used be a gentle boy. It didn't occur to her that he should havebecome a mature and charming man in four years.

Not only did he look different, but his temperament had also changeda lot.

"I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be you. How come youare here? Where have you been for the past four years? You don't evenknow that your mother has been looking for you for a long time andhasn't heard from you. Why are you here all of a sudden?" Hunterasked many questions in one breath.

Emily smiled bitterly. She didn't know how to answer him, so could onlyreply embarrassedly, "It's a long story. Are you and my mother okay?When I left, my mother said that she was pregnant, and now the childmust be more than four years old! Do you still live in the same place? Istill have something to do now and have to get some porridge for apatient. When I'm free, I'll go see her."

Hunter looked embarrassed. He gave an awkward smile, not knowingwhat to say.

Hearing that she still had something else to do, he let her go at once. Itwas when Emily left that he reacted.

He took out his phone immediately and called Franklin's assistant,Jason. When Jason answered the phone, he said urgently that he hadsomething to tell Mr. Brent.

Franklin answered the phone, and Hunter said in haste, "Mr. Brent, I sawEmily. She's in our hospital. She seems to be taking care of a patient.Do you want to come over and take a look?"

Franklin loosened his grip on the phone and it fell to the ground.Jason saw it and asked surprisingly, "Mr. Brent, what's wrong?"

Franklin shook his head and said in a low voice, "Get the car ready, tothe Central Hospital."

Emily bought James a portion of millet porridge and some snacks forBryce, in case he got bored and made trouble.

When she got back, she did not see Hunter again. Emily breathed asigh of relief.

She did not expect that the first person she would see was Hunter.Seeing that Hunter looked so different from before, she felt relievedand worried at the same time. She had no idea how her mother wasright now, or if Hunter had still been nice to her mother as always."What? Did something happen?” When Emily fed the porridge toJames, James saw her anxious face and asked in surprise.

Emily came to her sense and shook her head, "Nothing, it's just that Imet an acquaintance.”

"You know anyone in Lancaster?” James asked in surprise.

Emily had never told him anything about her past. She lowered her eyesand said awkwardly, "My mother is here. I met her current husband justnow, so we had a little chat.”

“Then we should pay them a visit! When I get better, I'll go with you."James said happily.

Emily nodded, not wanting to refuse James’ kindness.

When James finished eating, Emily went out to wash the lunch box.The moment she went out, she saw a man standing at the door of theirward in a daze. When he saw her coming out, his eyes turned coldinstantly.

Emily was startled and the lunch box in her hand fell to the ground."Fran... Franklin?" Emily never expected to meet Franklin so soon.

Or rather, Franklin would come over suddenly.

Franklin opened his mouth but did not say a word.

He clenched his fists so hard to prevent himself from doing anythingrash. He was afraid that he would be unable to restrain himself and rushover to strangle the woman in front of him.

She looked different in four years.

Her long hair had turned into short pear hair, but it made her morebeautiful. She seemed to have been living a good life in the past fouryears, showing no trace of hardship brought by life. Instead, she lookedmore mature than before.

She had had a good life.

Franklin sneered and slowly loosened his fists, giving a sarcastic coldsmile.

“Franklin.”

Emily didn't expect that Franklin would stand here and stare at her for along time, and leave without saying a word. She called out eagerly, butFranklin did not stop at all and left without looking back.

Emily pursed her lips painfully, as if her heart had been stabbed by asharp dagger, which made her bleed in pain.

"You don't even want to greet me. Am I really just a stranger to you?"
