Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 557

Chapter 557

At this moment, Emmanuel had his back toward the door as he sang an

off–tune version of the song “The Wind Rises” to Claudette. “The night breeze

ruffles your silvery hair… You lower your head and say…” Despite his lack of

vocal prowess, the song had an emotional impact.

Then, Laura’s eyes welled up with tears as she looked at her daughter, the

one she loved more than any other, even though she wasn’t her biological

offspring. She could tell that this was Claudette’s happiest moment. She has

been saved!

Despite her inability to speak, Claudette looked at Adolph and Laura and

opened her mouth as if to call out to them.

“The wind rises, and you must give it all you got to carry on!” Laura’s tears

began to flow freely as she rushed over to Claudette and cried out.

On the other hand, Claudette also had a weary, tearful smile.

After that, Emmanuel stood up and turned around to look at Adolph. After

1…

locking eyes for a few seconds, he addressed a dumbstruck Adolph and said,

“Claudette has regained consciousness, General, but she needs to rest

before getting out of bed. Please make sure she has a peaceful environment

to recuperate!”

After hearing this, Adolph slowly–balled his fists. In the past, he yearned to kill

Emmanuel, regardless of whether this man had used his daughter as a

shield, and he knew that his daughter’s death resulted from her love for this

man. Now, he finally understood why his exceptional daughter, who had a

plethora of options, chose to fall in love with this ordinary man who had

nothing to his name. He’s been hiding his true abilities all along. If he had a

big dream, he could have easily amassed great wealth through his medical

skills alone.

“I’ll be leaving now, General Lenoir! I’m sure a man of your standing won’t go

back on your word, right?” Emmanuel hurled those words and strode off

without waiting for Adolph to respond.

“Wait!” Adolph did not forbid him from leaving outright this time but simply

told him to wait.

However, Laura was secretly surprised by that. So, the proud General Lenoir

finally recognized the young man’s abilities and authority.

“Did you need something?” Without fear, Emmanuel turned around and

looked him in the eyes.

“I’m a man of my word! However, you must visit daily to care for Claudette

until she gets back on her feet! If anything happens to her in the meantime, it

will be on your head!” Adolph threatened him.

Then, Emmanuel turned his attention to Claudette and observed that her

eyes had become slightly brighter. “Fine!” He nodded, straightened up, and

continued, “Still, I’m not doing it because of you. Claudette is a good friend of

mine. I’m willing to take care of her until she fully recovers!”

Adolph scoffed upon hearing this, and his eyes gleamed with anger.

On the other hand, Laura was amused by their conversation. Wouldn’t it be

wonderful if Emmanuel married Claudette? After all these years with the

General, it’s my first time seeing a young man who isn’t afraid of him!

Soon after, Emmanuel walked out of the room, and the crowd parted to let

the young man walk while they stared at him in disbelief.

They were too afraid to enter the room, so they couldn’t tell if Claudette was

awake.

Nonetheless, the fact that the young man can leave the room alive indicates

that he did, in fact, save Ms. Lenoir! How did he do it?!

“Haha! Emmanuel!” Juan swiftly came over to strike up a conversation.

“You’re even more talented than I thought! It’s a pity that you’re no longer

working at Beacon Hospital. Why don’t you drop by my house when you’re

free? I’d love to learn a thing or two from you!”

In the past, Emmanuel would have immediately declined the offer, but this

time he glanced at Rhea unconsciously.

Her face flushed bright red when their gazes met, and she immediately

jerked her head down to hide her embarrassment.

After observing his daughter’s conduct, Juan smiled and added, “Despite

Rhea’s lack of medical expertise, her cooking is superb! It would be a shame if

you did not try it!”

Considering how well he and she had just collaborated and given Juan’s

courteousness, Emmanuel agreed and said, “Alright then. If it’s no trouble to

you, Mr. Gomez, I’ll pay you a visit and seek your medical expertise!” It just so

happened that he read a few things in the Ghost Doctor’s medical books

about which he was unsure, and he figured he could ask Juan about them

since Juan was an experienced doctor.
