Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 52

Emily's face was bruised, her arm in a sling, and one of her legs in acast. She looked so miserable when she was in the wheelchair.

The servants were also shocked when Franklin brought her home.However, Franklin refused to accept others’ help and personally carriedEmily upstairs.

"Thank you," Emily said gratefully.

As the saying went, misfortune tested the sincerity of friends. She neverthought that Franklin would take care of her himself instead of scoldingher for being stupid. Her resentment against him in the morning alsodissipated.

"Does it hurt?" Franklin sat beside her and looked at the wound on herface with slightly deepened eyes.

Emily nodded. How could it not hurt? She was afraid of disfigurement."Don't worry, I will take this revenge for you. I will never spare theperson who hurt you." Franklin swore coldly.

Emily was touched, but she had no hope of replaceing the murderer.

She immediately said, "It would be best if you could replace the person.But don't blame yourself if you cannot. This kind of people is usually inroaming bands of marauders. Maybe he will run away after this.”

"You don't have to worry about this. Stay at home and recuperate. Letgo of work and don't go out for a month,” Franklin said.

"What? You don't even allow me to go out?" Emily was surprised.Franklin said angrily, "Look at yourself! Where else do you want to go?”Emily looked at her foot in a cast and the doctor said it would take atleast half a month to remove it.

But she couldn't stand it if she was not allowed to go out for a month."But I'm going to the hospital to see my mother.” Emily made anexcuse.

Franklin snorted coldly, "Do you think mother-in-law would feelrelieved or worried if she sees you like this?"

"But my job..."

"Do you still want to lie to me? You're just idling away that you caneven play cards at the sales office as nobody visits recently. I knowyou've already taken a leave of absence to help Harry decorate hishouse. If you hadn't helped him decorate the house, you wouldn't havebeen robbed, and you wouldn't have been hurt like this.”

The more Franklin talked, the angrier he became. He couldn't catch theperson who hurt Emily, so he took it out on Harry.

Emily was shocked and said, "You do know it all.”

"Or do you think you can hide it from me?" Franklin was even angrier.She wanted to keep it from him.

Emily pursed her lips, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just wantedto earn some extra money. I didn't tell you because you don't allow meto get in touch with Harry.”

"Hmph, but you still are involved with him even you know I would beunhappy. Are you so short of money? How much does he give you? I'llgive you ten times."

"I don't want your money." Emily refused immediately.

"Why? Would you rather receive his money instead of mine?" Franklingritted his teeth.

Emily said solemnly, "I accept his money because I devoted energy andtime to work for him, and I deserve it. But what do I do for you to takeyour money? I don't want it."

"You can also take it as income from work. You worked so hard lastnight. Isn't it right to make some money?" Franklin humiliated herdeliberately.

Sure enough, Emily's face turned red with anger. She grabbed a pillowand threw it at him, "Franklin, you bastard, what do you think I am? Iwon't sell out myself even if you want to pay.”

Franklin was also very angry when she threw a pillow at him. She didn'tunderstand what he meant at all.

He just wanted her to rest at home and not get involved in all thosemessy things. She didn't understand.

"Emily, you idiot.” Franklin cursed, slammed the door, and left.

Emily's eyes were red with anger. She was hurt in the accident today.She was already so terrified and feeling wronged that she felt terrible.He actually scolded her.

Indeed, she was a fool. How could she believe that he had becomebetter and been nicer to her? Sure enough, he just felt uncomfortablenot scolding her for a day.

Lying on the bed, she cried and fell asleep.

She couldn't help with it. In addition to the abrade medicine, she alsotook oral medicine, which contained sedatives or hypnotics, and shewanted to sleep after taking it.

She groggily felt like she was being carried, then someone wiped herbody with warm water and put her on the bed.

A pair of hands gently patted her, just like when she felt uncomfortableat a younger age, her mother would gently comfort her.

"Mom, it hurts," Emily mumbled in her sleep, choking.

"Well, go to sleep! It won't hurt if you fall asleep.” A gentle voice rang inher ear, but it was not her mother's voice, it was more like...

Emily had no energy to think, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Emily woke up and looked around. There was no onethere.

Sure enough, it was all in her dream! Emily sighed in her heart.

But when she moved, she realized that her pajamas had been changed.She frowned and thought that she hadn't gotten changed to sleepyesterday. Did the maid change it for her?

Emily rang the bell and asked the servant to come up. She pretended toask inadvertently, "Where's Mr. Brent? Does he go to work?"

"Mr. Brent didn't come back since he left last night.” the servant replied."Oh, I see!" Emily suddenly felt lost. As expected, yesterday was just adream of her own.

It seemed that the person who changed her pajamas was indeed aservant.

When Joyce heard that she was injured, she insisted on coming to seeher.

Emily couldn't make her change her mind but only tell her the addressand tell the housekeeper that if a girl named Joyce comes to replace her,let her in.

After Joyce came in, she excitedly said to Emily, "Emily, you are reallylucky to be able to live in such a big and good house.”

Emily snorted, "So what? It's just a place to sleep. It's not mine anyway. Imight get kicked out anytime.”

"Don't say that. If I could live in such a good house for the rest of mylife, 1 would be satisfied even for a day," Joyce said longingly.

At this time, the servant knocked on the door and reported to Emily,"Madam, Mrs. Brent comes."

When Emily heard this, she was scared trembling and she cried out,"Why is she here again?”

Joyce quickly asked, "Who is it?"

"My mother-in-law, come on, help me in the wheelchair. What the hell!Why does she come here again? She has been here not long before.”Joyce quickly helped Emily to the wheelchair with the maid.

Looking at Emily's unhappy face, Joyce asked with concern, "Are you soafraid of her? Doesn't she like you?"

"Hmph, do you think you would like to have a daughter-in-law like meif you have a son who was handsome and capable?”

"Of course. But I don't have a son." Joyce immediately had given anabsolute assurance.

"Joyce, you're really my best friend.” Emily was moved.

However, when Joyce pushed her downstairs and she saw Mrs. Brent,Emily's face immediately turned sad.

This time, not only did Mrs. Brent come alone, but she also broughtAnthony and his wife together with Iris over.

Lucas followed, he asked anxiously when he saw Emily frown, "Emily,are you okay? What happened to you?"
