Gustav’s body stiffened and he looked at Emma. In order to buy more time, he suddenly said, “Emma, your mother left you something. Do you want to go upstairs to take a look?”
Emma was in a trance. After hearing his words, she raised her head but only shook her head in the end. “No, I want to go to her tomb to take a look.”
Gustav swept his gaze towards Caroline and Emily. Emily was after all young and did not have much experience but Caroline suddenly changed 180 degrees. She gently pulled Emma’s hand and said, “Emma, Aunt hit you before. You will not take it to heart, right? I heard that you and Young Master Archie are going to have a wedding at the end of the month. Can I attend?”
When Emily heard these words, her expression was extremely ugly. Both of her hands were also pinching and her fingertips were about to pierce into her flesh.
Archie looked at Emma’s eyes full of love. It was simply enough to make Emily go crazy with jealousy.
How would it feel to be pampered by such an outstanding man? She seemed to have experienced it, but unfortunately, she never had the chance.
When the wedding was mentioned, Emma subconsciously raised her head and looked at Emily. Emily could not hide the hatred on her face, so she turned around and walked upstairs.
“No matter what, you are all my family. Come as you wish.” Emma did not mercilessly reject the only family.
Archie suddenly said. “Old Master Grafton, where is the address?”
Only then did Gustav send the address to Emma’s phone via text. He thought to himself that he had delayed for a while. His son should have already finished.
“Let’s go first!” Archie did not want Emma to face the people from Quinsley Family. He reached out his hand and hugged her as he walked towards the door.
After sitting in the car, Emma was still in a trance. Her eyes suddenly became empty and lost. It was as if hope had been taken away, and even her soul had disappeared.
Archie sighed lightly and pulled her into his arms again. His palm lightly patted on her shoulder like he was coaxing a child.
“I was looking forward to meet my mother but suddenly I heard the news of her death.” In his arms, the girl’s soft voice was choked with sobs.
Archie lowered his head and focused on her tearful face. He comforted her gently, “You won’t be lonely. I will accompany you. I will never let you be alone again.”
“Archie. . .” She raised her small face and muttered his name. It was as if at this moment, she wanted to carve this name into her bone marrow and replace the pain of losing her loved ones.
Her thin lips pressed down and he kissed her raised forehead: “I’m here!”
This gentle kiss instantly restored the color of her empty eyes. Her unfocused gaze was no longer lost. She merely leaned closer to the man’s embrace. That’s right. Even if she was looking forward to it, her mother would not want her. However, the man in front of her was different. When she felt sad and lost, He would hold her tightly in his arms and firmly support her. He would help her selflessly.
All of a sudden, Archie became her world.
On the way to the cemetery, the car drove very fast.
In the cemetery, Jaxon was calling his father, Gustav.
“The words have been carved and some processing has been done. There seems to be some traces of time, but there is only one missing photo. Dad, this should not arouse Emma’s suspicion, right?” Jaxon asked worriedly.
Gustav finally let out a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, “She is currently in her most sorrowful period. She should not be in the mood to care about these details. Quickly leave the cemetery. Don’t bump into Emma.”
“I have already left. I am sitting in the car. Dad, I saw their car. It has come. I have to hang up the phone and leave.” Jaxon saw a car coming from afar. He thought that it must be Archie’s car. He quickly started the car and turned around to leave.
From afar, a luxury car drove into the cemetery in a low profile manner.
After getting out of the car, Emma saw a small store not far away. There were actually some flowers sold at the entrance.
She walked over and picked a few chrysanthemums.
Archie stood by the side and paid for her. The two of them walked along the long stone path with heavy steps.
Emma’s mood was extremely heavy. She could not even lift her feet. Every step she took seemed to have used a lot of strength.
“Emma, are you alright?” Archie looked at her and felt that she was going to faint in the next second.
He already knew that her constitution was weak. At the wedding back then, she fainted due to excessive stimulation.
Now that she suddenly found out that his mother had passed away, she really couldn’t accept it.
Emma nodded her head stubbornly. “I’m fine!”
But in reality, she felt dizzy. Only her willpower supported her to walk step by step and maintain her consciousness.
Finally, there was an end to the long stone path. They found that position. In front of Emma was a grayish-black tombstone.
The words engraved on it were also soaked by the wind and rain. The color of the words was somewhat mottled and fell off, but it was really written in the original words, The tomb of my beloved daughter, Dinda Quinsley.
“Mom. . . If you don’t come to see me, I will finally have the chance to see you.” Emma stood in front of the tomb. Her heart, which had been tormented for more than 20 years, suddenly calmed down. She squatted down and put down the flowers. She would never have to worry about whether his mother was sick or hurt when she was still alive. She was right here. When she missed her, she could come and see her.
Archie’s gaze was always on the girl’s delicate body. He was afraid that the next second, she would overexert herself and faint.
Emma covered her face and cried bitterly. This sadness that was hidden deep in her heart could finally be vented.
“Why don’t you want me? Why have you never seen me?! Am I not your daughter? You want to abandon me so cruelly?” There were too many questions, too many sorrows. At this moment, she wanted to speak everything.
However, the only thing that answered her was the cold wind by her ears and the cold and hard stone tablet in front of her.
Archie did not interrupt her crying. He did not know what she had suffered.
After crying for a long time, perhaps she was really tired from crying and had vented enough, Emma’s kneeling body suddenly stood up.
She only felt her vision turning black and she no longer felt anything.
Archie timely pulled her into his embrace and saw that her small face was as pale as paper and completely bloodless.
His heart suddenly shook. He was painful.
Archie held her in his arms. Archie looked at the tombstone with an expressionless face and said in a cold voice: “She won’t need you anymore in the future!”
An irresponsible person was not fit to be a mother at all. The child was loved when they were born, but she abandoned the young her in a strange family and let her thin shoulders bear the rain.
He hugged her in his arms, but she was as thin and light as a pair of wings. Archie effortlessly carried her and sank down.
James saw this scene and immediately went forward to ask with concern, “Young master, what happened to young mistress? Do you want to go to Doctor Carl’s place to take a look?”
Archie nodded. “Send her there. She might be too sad.”
“Young mistress is so pitiful.” James sighed and said sympathetically.
Archie silently lowered his head and looked at the girl who was sleeping quietly like a baby in his arms. “That’s right. What a pitiful little girl.”
Doctor Carl was Archie’s private doctor. He had a private hospital that was very popular and had recruited many authoritative doctors.
When Archie walked into Doctor Carl’s office with Emma in his arms, Carl pushed up his glasses and said in disbelief, “Archie, why are you here? What happened to the girl in your arms? Don’t tell me you hurt her.”
Archie smiled. “Doctor Carl, don’t make fun of me. This is my wife. You saw her on the day of the wedding.”
Doctor Carl quickly stood up and rushed forward to take Emma’s pulse. He was a very authoritative old TCM doctor. Most of the time, the treatment was also a combination of China Medication.
“Listening to her pulse, it is a little messy. Did she suffer from some kind of stimulation?” Senior Carl asked him strangely.
“Yes, she fainted from extreme sadness. Do you want to give her an injection and treat her?” Archie nodded and replied in a deep voice.
Senior Carl held his head and said, “Take her to the ward to lie down. I will get someone to send the medicine over later and infuse her for treatment. She is too weak.”
Archie carried her to the ward. Archie had a special ward here for his use. He pushed the door open and gently put her on the bed.
After a while, a nurse came in. When she saw Archie, her face turned red.
Archie did not know how destructive his outstanding appearance was to women. At this moment, all his energy was focused on Emma, who was lying on the bed and did not wake up. Seeing the nurse come in, he said, “Sorry to trouble you!”
The nurse’s face became redder. She could not help but blurt out, “Young Master Archie, you are so handsome!”
Archie was stunned and smiled faintly.
Only then did the nurse realize that she was talking nonsense. She quickly kept quiet and focused on taking the needle. She wanted to give Emma an injection.
Archie suddenly walked over and gently held her slender wrist to make the nurse’s infusion more convenient.
The nurse held her breath. She did not dare to be distracted.
Seeing the needle pierce into the back of her soft and tender hand and blood flow out, Archie’s heart suddenly hurt.
It was as if the needle had pierced his heart.
After the fluid was transfused, Archie sat beside her and watched her wake up.
Perhaps Emma was really too sad. When she was injected the fluid, she did not react at all.
James took the information and handed it over to Archie.
“Go and get the computer in my office again. I am not going back to the company today.” Archie ordered in a low voice.
James responded and left.
At this time, young master’s company was young mistress’s greatest happiness.
At around 4 PM, Emma woke up. She opened her eyes and blankly looked at the paleness above her head. Her nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Shocked, she hurriedly sat up and saw the man sitting on the bedside sofa.
He also looked up at her. When he saw her sit up with her hands propped up, he threw away the documents in his hands and walked a few steps over. He said hoarsely, “Don’t move. You have needles in your hands.”
Emma looked down and saw that it was indeed infusion. She asked blankly, “Archie, where is this?”
“In the hospital, you have been unconscious for four hours.” Archie replied gently.
