Chapter 239 Confident That She'd Retur
Seeing him, Emelie sull couldn't hide the complex emotions on her face. William's voice was cold. "You know you should feel guilty meeting her behind my back."
Emelie paused, calmed herself down, and retorted, "Why should 1 feel guilty?"
william pushed aside the coffee cup Vanessa had used. "What were you discussing with her?"
"Do I need to report to you?" Emelie averted her gaze, focusing on her phone as she kept trying to turn it on. She thought if it still wouldn't work, she'd have to get it repaired.
Considering the timing, William could easily guess the topic of her conversation with his mother. "Your father's tightcould extend his sentence. Did you ask her to help reduce his punishment? Emelie's phone still wouldn't turn on, even with the power bank connected. Outside, the rain poured harder. Emelle felt the world was in chaos, and she was missing something
crucial. Her mood turned sour
Frustrated, she decided to leave. If the phone wouldn't work, she'd buy a new one.
Modern life without a phone made one feel disconnected from the world, and she was desperate to reestablish that connection. As she walked past William, he grabbed her wrist. Emelie frowned. "Let go."
"You have resources right in front of you, yet you avoid them. First, you go to Samuel, and now my mother. Each of them is more unreliable than the last," William said, raising his eyes slightly. Emelie's voice was steady. "Those 'unreliable' people have helped me without conditions. What about you?"
William sneered. "Did you forget what I told you? The most expensive things are the ones without a price. You don't trust my straightforward deals, but you'd rather risk those shady products'' Emelle's phone buzzed, and she glanced at it. Surprisingly, it powered on. She twisted her wrist free from William's grip and headed out without another word.
The phone was working. She intended to call Mona to check on her, but then she saw eight missed calls from Eliana. It was all from that morning
Eliane fell silent. Her sister never called this frequently. A sense of dread filled Emelie. Suddenly, a bad feeling crept into her heart
She immediately called back. Elana answered, and Emelie urgently asked, "Eli, what happened?
As soon as Eliana heard her voice, she started crying. "Emelie! Why didn't you answer your phone?"
"My phone was dead. Is it about Mom?"
"Mom's heart stopped, and the doctors couldn't revive her!
Just then, thunder rumbled loudly. Emelle's ears seemed to echo with it, leaving her momentarily deaf to everything else.
Ellana continued, "They put Mom on some kind of machine, so she's alive for now. But they said we need to decide whether to get an artificial heart. Emehe, please come back soon! I can't handle this alona!!!
Holding her breath, Emehe replied, "I'm in Capebatt right now. I'll be there right away!"
she hung up and prepared to dash into the rain. Just as she was about to step into the downpour, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
It was William again. Furious, she yelled, "What do you want from me now?"
William stared at her coldly. "Are you planning to run all the way to the hospital? it's eight kilometers away. How long do you think that will take?"
He then dragged Emelie towards his ear. He had overheard her conversation on the phone. Observing her panicked expression, he guessed that something had happened to her mother William showed Emelie into the car and got in himself before instructing the driver, "Go to Centra Hospital"
Emelie added urgently, "Hurry!"
The driver promptly replied and stepped on the gas pedal. Rain poured down on the windshield but was quickly wiped away by the wipers. Only streaks of water were left behind
Fanelle stared intently ahead, her heart pounding. As soon as they reached the hospital entrance, she jumped out of the car. Her figure looked so small and fragile in the heavy rain. Ashton held an umbrella at the car door, but William didn't get out. He sat silently. He seemed confident that Emelie would soon return.
Then, he hit a cigarette,
