Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 204

Emily leaned against the wall in pain as if there was a hole in her heart,and it was bleeding out.

She never expected to meet Franklin so soon, and Franklin still treatedher this way. He clearly saw her, but he didn't say a word. Instead, heturned around and left resolutely.

Back in the ward, Emily's face was still pale.

James looked at her in surprise and asked, "What's wrong? You look sopale after you get back.”

"Nothing." Emily shook her head quickly.

Bryce ran over and hugged Emily's leg, "Mom, I want to go out andplay.”

After all, he was only three years old, and boys at this age always lookfor fun. He had been in the ward for most of the day, so it would bestrange if he was not bored.

James said quickly, "You can take him out! I'm fine here. It's not a bigdeal anyway, and I can be discharged in two days. How about you takehim home first?"

"I'll take him out for a walk and wait until you're discharged.” Emily said.Seeing that she was so determined, James nodded and watched themleave gently.

And Emily took Bryce around in the hospital first. Bryce was notsatisfied and insisted on going outside.

Emily thought for a while. It was not far from the flower shop that sheand Joyce owned, so she took Bryce there.

For four years, she hadn't contacted anyone in Lancaster, so she didn'tknow if the flower shop was still there. In fact, she was very sorry at thattime. After all, she owned part of the flower shop. But back then, shedidn't even say goodbye and left the shop to Joyce alone.

"Mom, the flowers there are so beautiful.” Bryce saw the flower shop atthe first glance and pointed excitedly at it while speaking to Emily.Emily also smiled with relief. She didn't expect that the flower shopwould still be here after four years.

She quickly led Bryce over. A shop assistant was busy at the door.Seeing her, she quickly smiled and said, "Miss, how can I help you?"

"Is your boss here?" Emily asked quickly.

"Boss?" The shop assistant looked surprised and said, "Yes, may I askwhat's it about?"

"We're friends. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so...""Emily? Oh my God, are you Emily?" With a cry, Emily was huggedbefore she could react.

“Let go of my mother, let go of her.” Bryce looked upset and slappedthe person on the thigh.

"Ouch, who is this little guy? Who are you?" Joyce let go of Emily andlooked down at Bryce in surprise.

Emily didn't know whether to laugh or cry and quickly said to Bryce,"Bryce, don't be rude. This is mom's good friend. Call auntie.”

"Ah, you already have a child." Joyce said in surprise.

Emily rubbed Joyce's face and said, "Joyce, it's been a long time. I missyou so much. You must have gained some weight. I almost didn'trecognize you just now."

Joyce, ".."

She pursed her lips and almost cried, "Emily, you can't reveal me assoon as you saw me. Do you know how bothered I am about mycurrent body? I think my hair is turning white because of this."

"Honey, tell me, did you have a child?" Emily asked quickly.

Joyce widened her eyes and said, "How do you know?"

Emily said proudly, "Your body had already told me so. It must not belong since you gave birth! I used to be like that, but then I gradually gotmy figure back while raising my child.”

"But my baby is already one year old." Joyce said in an injured tone.Sebastian walked in from outside and his eyes widened after he sawEmily, "Emily? You're back.”

"Sebastian, long time no see.” Emily greeted Sebastian with a smile.Sebastian seemed a little confused. He could only nod awkwardly andturn to Joyce again.

Joyce snorted and said, "Okay, okay, this is Emily. I won't be jealous. ButI won't spare you if it's another woman.”

Sebastian smiled awkwardly, quickly asked Emily to sit down, and wentto pour water for Emily.

Joyce looked at Bryce, who was leaning against Emily, and asked insurprise, "Emily, don't tell me this is your son. He is so grown up. Howold are you?"

"Auntie, I'm three years old." Bryce quickly told Joyce in a childish voice.Joyce widened her eyes again and looked at Emily in surprise, "He can'tbe Franklin's, can he?"

Emily smiled awkwardly. Before she could speak, Bryce immediatelysaid to Joyce, "My father is James. My surname is The Andersons, andmy name is Bryce."

le

"Who is this James?"

“I met him somewhere else. He came to Lancaster to give a speech thistime and didn’t expect to be sick. So I brought Bryce over to see him,and now he's lying in the hospital. Bryce was bored, so I took him outand came to see you." Emily explained roughly.

Joyce was even more surprised and said, "Emily, you actually gotmarried after you left Lancaster. Why didn't you inform me of such animportant matter? Do you know how much I... Missed you all theseyears? When you left without saying a word, you didn't know how sad Iwas."

Emily lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "What happened backthen... Was too sudden. I didn't expect that to happen either. When Ileft, 1 didn't dare to contact anyone, including my mother. I was afraidthat it would implicate you. For the past four years... I didn't dare tocontact at first, then I was afraid to contact later.”

Joyce choked and said, "I was extremely anxious when you suddenlyhad an accident. I and Sebastian asked around for your information, butwe didn't have any clue. The police came several times and said youwere wanted. Franklin woke up in the hospital after a long time. I heardthat there was a big fluctuation in the The Brent Group at that time.When he finally recovered, he suddenly announced his engagement toa woman named Avery with no intention of looking for you at all. We allthought... We thought you were gone, and you didn't know how sad Iwas."

"It's okay now. I'm fine now and I have a child.” Emily quickly comfortedher.

In fact, she was quite sad herself, especially when she heard aboutFranklin's high-profile engagement.

Although she also knew the news at that time and it had been fouryears, the sadness back then seemed not to fade away.

"Yeah, as long as it's okay. Sebastian and I are going to see your child'sfather too. It's best for people like us to live with our own kind. Peoplelike Franklin, we can't afford to provoke or endure. Now that you evenhave a child, it's good." Joyce said quickly.

Just as she was speaking, a few uniformed police officers suddenlycame over.

Joyce had not seen the police come to her for a long time. She stoodup in surprise and asked, "What's the matter, officers?"

"It's her. Take her away.” One of the leading police officers looked atEmily, checked the photo in his hand, and immediately said to the twofemale police officers beside him.
