Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 68

Emily was carried home in Franklin's arms and leaned weakly againstFranklin with her face pale. The servants were startled and they thoughtsomething bad had happened to her.

"Make some soup and put some sedatives in," Franklin ordered.

The servants nodded quickly and immediately went to prepare thesoup.

"Just lie down and take some rest." Franklin held Emily on the bed, tookoff her shoes and socks, and covered her with the quilt.

"Franklin," Emily called him in a low voice and reached out to hold hishand as if she didn't want him to leave.

Seeing how dependent she was on him, Franklin could not help butsmile gently and touch her head lovingly.

At this time, the servant knocked on the door and with the soup.Franklin held the bowl for Emily and fed her.

Emily shook her head and said weakly, "I don't really want to have soup.I don't have an appetite.

"It's just soup for your good rest, just regard it like water and drink itup." Franklin gently coaxed

The servant waited aside and was shocked to see Franklin being likethis. The servants here had been serving Franklin for more than twentyyears. When had they ever seen him being so gentle? The maidcouldn't help but look up upon Emily, thinking that this lady was reallyresourceful.

"Can you accompany me today?" Emily asked pitifully.

Franklin nodded and said gently, "Of course, I'm free this afternoon. I'llbe with you.”

With red-rimmed eyes, she opened her mouth and drank the soup inhis spoon.

She was not weak, and she wasn't desperate when she met her ownproblems. When bullied by the Anthony family, she didn't feel very sad.But today, she killed a child for no reason, she couldn't help but feelvery scared and guilty of fear, so that she did not dare to be alone.

As soon as she closed her eyes, all the scenes unfolded in her mindwere the blood coming from Iris's body, which eventually convergedinto a look of a baby.

After drinking the soup, Franklin handed the empty bowl to the servantand asked her to go down. Then he called Jason and asked him to leavethe businesses to someone else to deal with. If Jason couldn't handle it,he would handle it when he had time.

After the phone call, he went to take a shower and change his clothes,then held her in his arms.

Emily hugged him tightly, tears still falling.

"I really didn't mean it, really.” Emily choked again.

She didn't know how many times she had said this. If it were anyoneelse, Franklin would have been impatient to listen and scolded theother to be naggy.

But it was Emily, so he was extremely patient.

Patting her on the shoulder again, he comforted her, "I know it's notyour fault. It's none of your business. Have a good rest and you willforget it when you wake up.”

Emily's tears welled up. She didn't know if she would forget after sleepBut now she closed her eyes obediently, perhaps because she was tiredfrom crying, or because of the soup, so she fell asleep very quickly.Franklin gently put her down, looked at her red and swollen eyes andthe pale little face, and couldn't help but sigh.

A gentle kiss was dropped on her eyes, cheeks, and finally on herdelicate lips.

Emily slept so soundly that she didn't even notice or was about to wakeup.

Franklin made sure she was asleep before he lifted the quilt and quietlygot out of bed. As soon as he got down, he took out his cell phone andcalled Jason to let him go to his study.

"Find out what Iris is up to and who she's dealing with," Franklinordered Jason coldly.

Jason nodded and said, "Young master Ryan came here today to saythat he wants to ask for a position for Alan. So..."

Franklin's eyes darkened and he said slowly, "Let him go to the branchoffice and be a manager! The probation period is one month, and if hefails, he will be kicked out directly.”

"Yes." Jason nodded

After Jason left, Franklin leaned back and narrowed his eyes to recallwhat happened today. Alan was at the dinner table, too. Unexpectedly,the child had already grown up.

Sure enough, Alan was only two years younger than him.

Emily took a nap and woke up with Franklin still by her side.

With her eyes wide open, she could not help but reach out and gentlytouch his tightly pressed lips.

Franklin's lips were a little thin, and she heard that people with thin lipswere more aloof. But thinking of his gentle consolation today, Emilywas full of warmth. Whether he loved her or not, he was now doing hisduty as a husband.

Her husband had done his best to fulfill his duty.

"You're awake," Franklin said in a low, husky voice.

Emily blushed and quickly withdrew her hand.

Unexpectedly, Franklin grabbed her and kissed her hand. After lettinggo of her hand, he leaned over and kissed her lips. "How do you feel?Are you still feeling bad?" He asked gently.

Emily couldn't stand the gentleness and her heart was pounding.Today's Franklin was very different. She was overwhelmed by his gentle."Much better, thank you," Emily said, blushing.

Franklin smiled, reached out, and rubbed her cheek, "I'm your husband.It's my duty to comfort you. There is no need for you to thank me. Ifyou feel better, get up and have some food. Are you hungry? You ateless at lunch. You must be hungry now!"

Emily's stomach growled and she was really hungry, so she got up witha red face.

The two of them went downstairs for dinner. Franklin kept on puttingmore food in Emily's bowl during dinner, which made Emily veryflattered.

After dinner, Franklin went to work in the study, and Emily read thebook. When she recovered, she had to fulfill her promise to beFranklin's assistant, so she had to learn what she should know.However, what happened today was too much for her to bear, and shedid not read the book for long before she went to Franklin andhesitantly asked him about Iris.

At this time, Franklin was holding the investigation materials sent byJason and he threw them on the table with a cold snort.

When he saw that Emily was here and asked him about Iris, he sneered,"Your sister is not a simple woman. She deliberately miscarried. Youdon't have to blame yourself."

"How come? How could she have intentionally miscarried?" Emily wasshocked and immediately denied that.

"Why not? She bit you on purpose to let you get rid of her. I've askedpeople to investigate that even if you get rid of her, she might not hitthe sharp edge of the sink. But she did, and no one could do it exceptwhen she wanted to."

"But why would she do that? She likes Lucas so much that she can'tbear to lose her baby.”

"This is the truth, because this child may not be Lucas’, so she had toget rid of it," Franklin said coldly.

Emily shuddered and looked at Franklin in disbelief.

But Franklin threw her a file, she understood after unfolding it. She alsoknew the man in this file. He was Iris's junior high school classmate.They once went on date in junior high school. Later, Anthony scoldedher and they had to break up.

She didn't expect them to be together again, for not only a shortperiod.
