Chapter 407 Borrowing Her Medicine

William glanced at him but couldn't be bothered to respond.

He took a sip of his drink. His expression blurred in the hazy light of the bar.

Elias saw him as a comrade. He snapped his fingers to signal the bartender for a drink and scoffed, "Why are these women so hard to handle?"

Then, he took out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to William.

Just as the cigarette was lit, a conversation between two men at the bar reached their ears. "No, no. We're trying for a baby. I shouldn't have any alcohol or cigarettes. I'll just have a glass of lemon water."

Hearing this, both men paused in their drinking and smoking. Then, they simultaneously put out their cigarettes.

William couldn't stay in Weston forever. After having breakfast with Emelie the next day, he and Ashton went back to Capebatt City.

Emelie didn't see him off. She simply continued eating her meal.

The first person Ashley saw when she entered the restaurant was Emelie. She took her meal and sat down opposite her.

They chatted for a while. Although she had reconciled with the Allen family, the case wasn't over, and Ashley still had to follow up.

While eating. Emelie suddenly remembered something and cleared her throat. "Ashley, do you still have that medicine?"

She and William hadn't taken precautions the previous night. Seeing Ashley with the medicine before, she thought about asking her for two pills to avoid going to the pharmacy.

Ashley raised an eyebrow. She took out the pills from her bag, handed two to Emelie, and asked, "Have you and Mr. Middleton made up?"

Emelie wasn't sure how to define her relationship with William at this point. She shook her head without answering, and Ashley, understanding the cue, didn't press further. She took two pills herself as well. Elias had been like a mad dog the previous night, and he certainly hadn't used protection.

After breakfast, Emelie officially returned to work at Swanson Corporation.

Although Bryan had yet to return from his business trip in Eprand, she was still-busy with the year-end workload. The week passed in a blur.

During this time, William often texted Emelie.

He texted her that he had sent someone to check on her home. His father had stopped drinking, and his limp had improved significantly. He also mentioned consulting Sophie about Greta's condition, which was not irreversible. Sophie would create a treatment plan specifically for Greta.

Emelie didn't reply to every message, but she always thanked him for what he did.

William would sometimes even text her late at night and say, "Angel, I remember how you looked in that gown. When are you coming back to Capebatt City? I want you."

Emelie never knew that this man could text her such things.

It was strange. She wasn't a naive girl, and she wasn't someone who was easily swayed, but reading his messages made her feel something indescribable.

She hurriedly tucked her phone under her pillow without responding to his flirtatious words.

The last working day of the year ended. Near closing time, Emelie received a call from Ashley.

Ashley said, "Elena's case has been wrapped up before the end of the year. I'll bring it to the office for you. Treat me to dinner tonight."

Emelie smiled and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's crash someone else's dinner."

"Hmm? Whose?"

"Elena's."

William hadn't been the only one texting Emelie frequently this week. Elena had also been reaching out to her, saying that she wanted to meet her,

Emelie had initially not wanted to respond to her, but something in Elena's last message piqued her interest.

"Emelie, I'm so jealous of you. Why did he love you for so many years? Why? I hate you so much. You've stolen what was mine."

Who was she referring to?
