Hello, Mr. Brent -
Chapter 247
Emily's heart ached and tears flowed uncontrollably again.
But she said calmly to Joyce, "You and Sebastian should hurry back! Ihave told the elderly back home before. Now if you suddenly decidenot to go back, they will be worried. I'll call you when there is newsabout Bryce. It's useless for you to stay here, as you said, with Franklinhere, we are inferior to him in these ways."
"How can I leave now that you're like this? I want to stay with you.”Joyce said.
Emily said, "Joyce, listen to me and go with Sebastian! I'm fine. I'm fineuntil I replace Bryce. You're here... I won't be at ease because I will concernabout you so I can't devote myself to the things."
"Emily, what else do you want to do?" Joyce asked in surprise.
Emily pursed her lips and remained silent, not knowing what she wasthinking.
Joyce sighed and looked at Emily again and said nervously, "Emily,listen to me. You and Mr. Brent were purely misunderstood before, Iknow you well. You are definitely moved by Mr. Brent, and Mr. Brent isalso sincere to you. Since you love each other, don't let themisunderstanding ruin such a beautiful relationship. When Mr. Brentreplaces Bryce, your family will be reunited. You must not cause any moretrouble.”
Emily smiled bitterly and looked at Joyce, “Look at your words. It's as ifI'm a troublemaker. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. But youhave to leave with Sebastian quickly. Things here... I have my ownplans.”
Joyce bit her lip and knew that though Emily looked easy-going, shewas always stubborn in her bones, and she couldn't be pulled back ifshe had made her mind.
It was the same for doing things, and it was the same for feelings.
It was useless no matter how much she tried to persuade her. It wouldbe better to say something useful.
But when it came to useful things, Joyce suddenly remembered whatEmily had asked her to investigate before. She had gotten the results,but as soon as Bryce's things happened, she forgot them all.Fortunately, she remembered today. Otherwise, it would be hard to tellEmily if she left later.
"Emily, do you remember that old Chinese doctor you asked me toinvestigate? I have results now.” Joyce whispered.
Emily was stunned and asked quickly, "How was it? How was theresult?”
Joyce pursed her lips and looked back, but she was still worried. Shesimply stood up and walked to the door to open it and then lookedoutside. After making sure there was no one, she closed the door.
"You don't have a surveillance camera here, do you? Or a monitor.”Joyce asked.
Emily frowned and said, "It's just a little thing. Why are you so alerting?Could it be related to Franklin? *
But then Emily suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Joyce indisbelief. After a long time, she muttered, "Is it really... Related toFranklin?"
Joyce whispered, "Didn't I tell you before that the old Chinese doctorwas introduced by my relative's family. In fact, it is my relative’s father-in-law. After so many years I asked him again, he was finally willing totell the truth. He said that before I took you for a checkup, a noble ladywent to him. She gave him a sum of money and a good job for his son,just to let him issue a false test result. If he does not do as she told, shewould just...let their whole family out of Lancaster.”
"The lady you're talking about is Mrs. Brent, right?!" Emily muttered.She should have thought that there was no such coincidence. She wasmisdiagnosed twice, and the first misdiagnosis actually said that shewas infertile, which was really absurd.
Joyce nodded, "According to the description of the old Chinese doctor,Mrs. Brent often participated in some activities, so she knew a lot ofpeople.”
"Is the latter hospital I came to also her..." Emily asked softly.
Joyce quickly shook her head and said, "No. I have inquired it and alsotook out the thing that you have given birth to a child to threaten him. Isaid if he does not tell the truth, we will go to sue him. He then had tosay that the person who threatened him was Andrew. I alsoremembered that after you and I came out of the old Chinese doctor,Andrew was indeed inquiring about you. It was Andrew who introducedme to take you to that hospital.”
"Well, that's great. They all..." Emily sneered and clenched her fists, notknowing what to say.
She, Emily, never owed anyone, nor did she do anything harmful. Whydid they all want to harm her? Why couldn't they let her live well? If itwasn't for Mrs. Brent and Andrew, how would she and Franklin haveended up today, and how would her son go missing?
"Emily, are you okay?" Joyce saw that Emily was so angry that her faceturned pale at first, then began to tremble gradually, so she couldn'thelp but ask anxiously.
Emily shook her head and muttered, “I'm fine, Joyce. You and Sebastianshould go now! These things... I'll handle them myself.”
Joyce looked at the time. It was indeed late. There was a child at home,and Sebastian couldn't handle it himself.
In fact, Sebastian wanted to leave, but Joyce was worried about Emily.Now that Emily had said so, she could only nod and agree, and thensaid something before leaving reluctantly.
Two days later, Joyce and Sebastian left, but Emily didn't send them off.She just asked Jason to send some things over.
Emily lay in bed for two days and got out of bed. There was still nonews about Bryce as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
At first, Emily would ask, but then she stopped asking. When Lisa cameto see her again and found that she looked as if nothing had happened,she couldn't help but show a surprised expression
"Mr. Brent, I see that Miss Johnson's mood is abnormal!" Lisa found anopportunity to say to Franklin.
Franklin said faintly, "What's wrong?"
Lisa said, "Miss Johnson is too calm. It shouldn't be. Judging from herprevious obsession with the child, she must be sad for a long time. Ididn't expect her to recover so soon. It shouldn't be!”
Franklin frowned. In fact, he also felt that Emily was in an abnormalmood, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
It was better to be calm than collapse. If she made a fuss to replace thechild herself, he would only have more headaches.
"Maybe she's decided to let it go. That's better. How's the thing I askedyou to do? Is it all done?" Franklin sighed and changed the subject.Lisa said quickly, "It's all done. Don't worry. The wedding is onschedule.”
Franklin nodded and smiled faintly, "I hope this will make her happierand forget about the child's troubles for the time being."
"If you really can't replace him, just have another one! You and MissJohnson are still young. With another child, Miss Johnson may not beso sad.” Lisa suggested tentatively.
Franklin's eyes lit up and he nodded with a slight smile. Why didn't hethink of this? It seemed...a good idea.
