The taxi passed through the rain. Driver looked worriedly at the girl who was sitting in the back seat, lost in thought. He patiently asked her again, “Miss, you made me walk around this city twice. Haven’t you decided where to go yet? I’m in a hurry to turn in work. I haven’t had lunch yet.”
Emma finally recovered from her grief. She looked up and saw a coffee shop in front of her. She was slightly startled.
“Stop the car downstairs at the coffee shop in front!” Emma did not want to make things difficult for the driver.
The taxi stopped and Emma handed the money over.
“Girl, I think you are not in a good mood. I won’t accept the change. Get out of the car.”
“Thank you!” Emma looked at him with a smile. She got out of the car and hid downstairs at the coffee shop.
Anyway, there was nowhere to go. It rained so heavily again. Emma simply turned around and went to the coffee shop.
Actually, she suddenly saw this place just now because she had secretly seen Archie and Luisa sitting at the window seat downstairs.
“Miss, do you want to drink something? The coffee here is not bad!” The waiter came forward and asked passionately.
Emma shook her head. “I don’t drink coffee. Give me your menu. I’ll order something else to eat.”
Finally, Emma ordered a sumptuous lunch for herself and slowly ate alone.
It had been two hours and she did not know how Archie’s situation was.
She was really worried and wanted to stay by his side and watch him wake up.
At this moment, in the hospital!
In the special ward, Archie was still receiving fluid from the back of his hand.
The air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant. Ferdie guarded the bedside while Clara sat on the sofa. She looked at her newly made nails and slightly clenched her fists.
Men always had a mentality of favoring men over women. Archie had treated Ferdie coldly before. If he was injured, the worry on Ferdie’s face could be clearly seen.
Thinking about how his daughter had a high fever for two consecutive nights, he had never shown such anxiety and worry. Clara’s heart tightened in pain.
James received a phone call and pushed the door open.
“Mr. Ferdie, it’s Old Master Grafton calling. He is on his way here!” James said.
Since Ferdie no longer had any status in the company, James had always called him Mr. Ferdie.
Ferdie’s expression was somewhat sorrowful. He only made a slight sound of agreement, and his gaze was still on his son’s sickly white face.
“Hubby, are you hungry? I went out to pack some food and came back.” Clara also sat a little annoyed and asked Ferdie with a smile.
“I’m not hungry. Go and eat!” Ferdie said. How could he still be in the mood to eat? His son had not woken up yet.
Clara’s expression was somewhat unnatural. She wanted to leave but did not dare to. She could only sit back on the sofa.
Ferdie turned around and looked at her. “If you want to go eat, then go eat. Don’t come over in the afternoon. Go and pick up your daughter from school.”
Clara immediately panicked when she heard that. She was afraid that her husband would suspect that she had lost her mother-in-law’s care. She hurriedly explained, “It’s fine. I’m not very hungry either. My daughter’s school is over. The housekeeper at home will go and pick her up. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“My dad will come over. Don’t make him angry here.” Ferdie added.
Clara looked like she had been slapped hard. Her face was pale.
Old Master Grafton had never liked her, and he had never given her a good look. In the past, Ferdie would still protect her openly in front of old master and help her say a few good words, but today, he actually chased her away.
This situation was really not right. Clara had always been very considerate. At this moment, she could not help but think too much.
Did Ferdie start to dislike her?
“Alright then. Take good care of Archie. I’ll be leaving first!” Clara did not have the face to stay any longer. She pushed open the door and left dejectedly.
Once she went out, her face instantly turned livid with anger.
Ferdie, you don’t love me anymore? Is it because I didn’t give birth to a son for you? My life is so miserable.
The more Clara thought about it, the more unwilling she became. Suddenly thinking of Emma’s appearance when she was chased away, a light flashed in her mind.
Emma was chased away. Should she quickly ask Helena to come over and take care of Archie?
Yes, that’s right. This was a rare opportunity. She must let Helena seize this opportunity.
Thus, she picked up her phone and dialed Helena’s number.
Helena had recently locked herself in the house to sulk. After receiving Clara’s call, she was instantly delighted.
“Aunt Clara, you haven’t called me for a long time. I thought you had forgotten about me.” Helena immediately complained, feeling wronged.
“I didn’t forget. You are Aunt Clara’s goddaughter. Helena, where are you?”
“I’m at home. I’m so bored.” Helena said sadly.
“It’s all Emma’s fault for causing you trouble. Think about how you were busy every day, making a lot of money, but because you offended Emma, you were mercilessly kept by Archie. I don’t think it’s worth it for you.” Clara angrily gritted her teeth.
“Let’s not talk about this matter anymore. Who asked Emma to have a strong background?” Helena had become much more obedient during this period of time when she was being kept cold.
“Now there is a great opportunity. Do you want to grab it?” Aunt Clara immediately asked in a mysterious manner.
“What great opportunity?”
“Didn’t you see the news? Archie is injured. He is in the hospital. Quickly find a chance to take care of him.”
“Ah, is he injured? Is he alright?” Although Archie had beaten her into the Cold Palace, Helena still cared about him very much.
“He’s still unconscious. Hurry up and come over!” Aunt Clara said urgently.
“What can I do if I go over? Isn’t Emma there? I don’t want to see her annoying face.” Helena said angrily.
“She was chased away by my husband. Even that little slut got blamed. Archie got hurt because he wanted to save her. This time, I want to see what face Emma still has to face the people of Grafton Family.” Clara said with a proud tone.
“Archie was injured because he saved Emma? She said that she loved Archie every day, but he got hurt. This is infuriating.” Helena was also angry, but it was hard to calm down.
“That’s why I said that you should seize such a good opportunity. Perhaps you have taken good care of Archie. Once he is happy, he will immediately ask you to return to Civada to work.”
Helena was immediately overjoyed, “Auntie, which hospital is Archie staying at now? I will buy some things to go and see him now.”
“I will send you the address. By the way, if someone asks, Just say that I gave it to you, but don’t say that I gave it to you on my own accord. Just say that you begged me for a long time before you got the address, got it?” Clara said very scheming.
“Don’t worry, I know what to say!” Helena was also a smart person.
Minlan brought Luisa to the hospital and did all kinds of check-ups. The doctor could only confirm that she had acute gastroenteritis and prescribed some medicine for her to take care of her diet. There was no other situation.
“Don’t eat so spicy in the future. How can your stomach take it?” Minlan reminded her a few times and naturally did not think about other things.
Luisa immediately withdrew her tender voice and said, “Got it, Mom. I just took some medicine and now I feel much better. I want to see how Archie is doing.”
“You don’t know which hospital he is staying at, do you?” Minlan frowned. If it was in the past, she would have urged her to go.
But at this moment, thinking that the younger daughter Emma might be by Archie’s side, she did not want Eldest Daughter to go there to avoid embarrassment.
“I will call and ask!” Luisa took out her phone and directly pulled it out for Ferdie.
“Uncle, do you know which hospital Archie is staying in? I heard that he was injured, so I wanted to go and see him.”
“Okay, I know. I’ll go right now!”
After hanging up the phone, Luisa had a touch of joy on her face. “Mom, I will go alone. You can go home.”
“Wait a minute!” Minlan called out to her and her expression was somewhat worried. “If you meet your sister, don’t argue with her. You need to be a big sister. Do you understand?”
“Mom, am I not your daughter anymore? Why do you always make me tolerate?” Luisa rolled her eyes and angrily said those words before running out the door.
Minlan looked at Eldest Daughter’s delicate and wild character and sighed again.
Outside the hospital special ward, Helena was holding a fruit basket in her hand. After hesitating for a while, she steeled her heart and gently knocked on the door.
James opened the door and saw Helena. He was a little surprised?
“Miss Helena, why are you here?” James had a deep impression of Helena. Maybe it was because she had an exquisite baby face that people liked. Besides, James also liked the pure and cute female leads that she played on the screen.
“I heard that Young Master Archie was injured and was very worried, so I asked Aunt Clara to get the address. I wanted to come and see him.” Helena immediately put on an obedient look and said gently.
James made a path for her. “Then you can come in first.”
“Thank you!” Helena’s impression of James was very light. Once she stepped into the ward, she immediately called Ferdie softly, Uncle.
Ferdie knew that this girl had some relationship with Clara, so he nodded at her.
“Young Master Archie hasn’t woken up yet?” Helena gently put down the fruit basket and gently stood by the side to look at the unconscious and sleeping Archie.
This was the first time she had the chance to quietly look at him.
The man’s facial features were very delicate and handsome. At this moment, his eyes were closed and his domineering aura was restrained, giving people a kind of intimate feeling.
Helena’s breathing slightly stagnated, and her gaze was somewhat infatuated as she looked at the man on the bed. That face was enough to make any woman scream crazily.
“There is still some blood on Young Master Archie’s hand. Let me wipe it off for him!” Helena’s eyes were very poisonous when she noticed this. She immediately went into the bathroom and took out a hot towel.
Ferdie did not stop her from doing so. Hence, it was also Helena’s first time holding this man’s wide palm.
The man’s fingers were very long and beautiful, and his joints were clearly defined. Just by looking at his hands, one could tell how noble he was.
Helena especially treasured and gently cleaned him. Inch by inch, her heart was filled with adoration.
Suddenly, the man’s large palm in her hand tightened. In the next second, he held one of her hands tightly in her palm.
“Uh. . . ” Helena cried out in shock. When she saw that she was being held tightly by the man, her heart was so happy that it was about to fly up.
