Twins and Ex-wife
Chapter 1133 The Pain That Kills You

As soon as he saw Emily, Josiah rushed over eagerly.

He clutched her small hand tightly, "Emily, how do you feel now? Are you painful? I was wrong. I will never bully you again."

Emily lay motionless on the bed. Because of excessive blood loss, her face was as pale as paper, as if she had died.

Josiah trembled and put his finger before her nostrils to make sure she was still breathing before he let out a long sigh of relief.

Khalid stood with a sullen face. The woman lying on the bed was his wife in name only. It should've been him clutching her hand and ask her if she was okay now.

But he felt shameful before her.

Though he had a grudge against Emily, it was he that had hurt Emily most.

"Doctor, how is Emily?" Freya went up and asked the doctor who had just taken off his mask.

"She was kind of my patient before," That doctor handed the mask to his assistant, "it was a dangerous move. But her tongue has been successfully stitched up. Now her tongue is swollen and she may not be able to speak normally for some days. But she will recover later."

"The worse thing is, her disease."

Hearing the doctor's words, Freya became more upset. She knew that this injury had sapped her vitality greatly. It must have caused an aggravation of her condition.

"Thank you, doctor." Freya would take Emily's pulse later to determine her specific situation. Thus, she didn't ask for further details.

After being pushed into a ward, Emily still didn't wake up. Josiah clutched her hand tightly all along, as if she would leave him if he let go.

"Josiah, stand aside."

"I won't let go!" Josiah stubbornly clutched Emily's hand, "No one is going to make me parted from Emily!"

Freya couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself, "If you had cherished her, she wouldn't have suffered these things!"

"Josiah, I am going to take Emily's pulse."

Hearing Freya's words, Josiah could only let go of Emily's hand even though he didn't want to.

Freya put her fingers rested on Emily's wrist. Feeling her faint breath, Freya frowned.

Seeing Freya's face, Josiah was nervous, "Freya, how is Emily? Will she get better?"

"Her condition has indeed deteriorated again." Freya sighed softly.

"What?!" Josiah stumbled violently. He almost collapsed after hearing Freya's words.

He didn't speak, as Freya's words were lingering in his mind.

'Her condition has indeed deteriorated again...'

The doctor had concluded that Emily had at most six months to live; and now, her condition had worsened again. So how much time could she have left?! "Freya, help Emily! You must replace a way to save her!"

Josiah never showed his weak side even if he suffered emotionally. This time, tears misted his eyes.

He grabbed Freya's hand tightly, and those bloodshot eyes carried an obvious plea, "Freya, you're a skilled doctor. You can cure Kieran. You will replace a way to cure Emily, won't you?!" "Josiah, I'm not a god."

Freya also wanted to cure Emily. She wanted Emily to live a happy life with Josiah, and Emily's child to have a warm and happy home. But it was really difficult to cure advanced cancer. Even if she came up with a way to prolong Emily's life, Emily would still be vulnerable and die soon, given that she had got injured so frequently.

Josiah couldn't help but stagger. His eyes still carried a touch of cautious expectation, "Freya, is there really no way to cure her?"

"Josiah, I can only say that I will do my best. But I really can't guarantee that she will recover, much less that she will live to a ripe old age."

"What disease does she have?!" Khalid, who had been standing in the doorway, suddenly spoke.

Josiah was already angry with him. He would not let Khalid know Emily's condition. At that moment, he swung his fist fiercely over.

"None of your business! Get the hell out of here!"

"Josiah, what's wrong with you? The one who should get out is you! Emily is my wife!" Khalid was also irritated by his continuous punches. He also gave Josiah a thump in retaliation. They were both powerful. When they started fighting, no one could stop them. Soon, they were both beaten black and blue.

Freya really did not want to see the two fighting. Seeing Emily slowly opened her eyes, she hurriedly spoke, "Stop it! Emily is awake! Don't you disturb her!"

Freya's words really worked. The two of them had the sense to withdraw their fists.

Josiah rushed back to the bedside of Emily, gently clutching her hand, "Emily, are you still in particular pain?"

How could it not be painful? It was a life-threatening pain!

Emily was in a state of trance. She froze and looked at the clean white ceiling for a long time before realizing that she was still alive now.

Seeing Josiah, who was clutching her hand tightly, she had a feeling of being in a different world.

As if, he was still the one who had been gentle, careful to hold her fondly.

But Emily knew he had long since changed.

The Josiah she had loved would never call her a bitch, make out with another woman in front of her, much less ordering her to wash underwear of another woman.

Emily's tongue was so swollen and painful that she couldn't speak now. She just exerted all her strength and tried to shake off Josiah's hand.

"Emily!" Josiah saw her intention. He eagerly clutched her hand, "Emily, I'm sorry for what happened before. I will never let you down again."

Emily suddenly widened her eyes. She looked at Josiah incredulously. Was he apologizing to her?

But in a flash, Emily's eyes darkened.

If it was before, she would have felt happy if he would just let her explain. She would not require an apology from him.

But after so many things had happened, even an apology didn't work anymore.

She could never forget the sound that Edith had made in his room that broke her heart; nor could she forget the way Edith had smashed the dirty clothes on her face, saying insulting things with an indifferent

tone.

Josiah already had a new sweetheart, while she had loved him as always. She even tried to kill herself in front of Khalid for the sake of her pure love for Josiah. How ridiculous!

Emily stretched out the other hand with great effort, prising Josiah's hand. Then she slowly closed her eyes.
