Book:If Loving You Is Wrong Published:2024-5-29

Seeing his face in pain and his body swaying as if he would fall down in the next moment, Eric Chan was quick to help him.
“President.”
Alex Roberts was in so much pain that he could barely speak. He just waved his hand to tell Eric Chan not to say anything, so that Emma Richard would not know and worry about him.
Unfortunately, as Eric Chan rushed over to Emma Richard, she had already noticed the difference in him.
“Are you not feeling well?” Emma Richard’s voice was tinged with tears: “What’s wrong? Why didn’t you tell me you were sick? Please don’t hide it from me anymore, I, I’m really dying …”
“Don’t cry, I’m fine, keep looking for the baby.”
After finishing these words, Alex Roberts’ remaining strength was drained and he almost collapsed on Eric Chan’s shoulder.
Eric Chan did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly called Dean Wright. Emma Richard clutched Alex Roberts’ hand like a lifeline and cried tearfully, “Don’t sleep, don’t sleep. …”
And then went to ask Eric Chan: “What disease he has, why is this, you tell me OK?
Keira disappeared and Alex Roberts was her only support, if even he fell, then what would she do …
Eric Chan had been told numerous times by Alex Roberts that he did not dare to tell Emma Richard about his condition without permission, so he could only ask Emma Richard to follow him to the hospital and take care of him temporarily.
“I will keep you informed of the progress. Mr. Roberts can’t live without someone, so he can recover faster if you stay with him.”
The situation was so urgent that Emma Richard lost her composure and jumped into the ambulance after Alex Roberts’ stretcher.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, Alex Roberts was in a coma and Dean Wright had arrived from home overnight.
Seeing that Dean Wright and Alex Roberts had a close relationship, Emma Richard chased him out of the hospital room and asked him about his condition.
Alex Roberts had signed a confidentiality agreement with the hospital that no medical staff could reveal his condition, but Dean Wright was furious at his repeated accidents and blurted out, “What’s wrong with him? He’s sick in the head! Otherwise he wouldn’t have gone to a quack and stuck a needle in his own head! He is such a person who does not take his life seriously, and still want to recover his memory, whether he can live or not is still a question!”
Dean Wright left in anger, and Emma Richard returned to the hospital room in a state of uncertainty, seeing Alex Roberts still unconscious on the hospital bed.
No wonder he refused to tell her his true condition, he had become like this to recover his memory.
“You idiot, is it because of me and Keira? It’s for us that you want to remember the past …”
Emma Richard slowly squatted beside the bed, pillowing Alex Roberts’ arm, crying out in pain: “Stop torturing yourself, you quickly … get better … I’ll tell you everything, as long as you wake up …”
Throughout the night, the nurse came to check on Alex Roberts every two hours, at the behest of Dean Wright, who was a very good man, and told Emma Richard at dawn that he had woken up, but that he was in a deep sleep due to physical exertion.
Emma Richard was relieved to hear this, but then her heart hung in the air again – Keira had not been found.
Eric Chan promised to report back as soon as there was news, but she hadn’t received a single word since she left the playground.
At that moment, the phone suddenly rang as if it had a sense.
Her heart jumped, thinking it was Eric Chan calling, and she answered the phone.
“Hello, Emma Richard?” A shrill voice came from the receiver, making her skin crawl.
She picked up the phone, saw an unfamiliar number on the screen, and was immediately alerted.
“Who is this?”
The voice changer worked, the other party’s laughter was extraordinarily seeping: “Giggle, it doesn’t matter who I am, what matters is that I have your baby girl, if you want her to live, prepare $10 million.”
“Keira … what have you done with Keira!!!”
Learning that Keira had been kidnapped, Emma Richard felt as if she had been punched in the temple, all the blood in her body converged on the top of her head, but her body was so weak with fear that she could barely hold the phone.
Another laugh came from the other side: “She’s safe for now, as long as we can get the $10 million in two days, I promise to send her home unharmed.”
Emma Richard was in complete disarray, any amount of money was fine, she just wanted Keira alive!
“I promise you, I’ll do anything you want, but I want to see Keira!”
“A video?” The other side hesitated for a moment and sighed: “I’m afraid that’s not possible, so I’ll let you hear your baby girl’s voice. Come on, sweetie, talk to mommy …”
The phone seemed to be placed in front of Keira’s face, and not long after, the familiar sound of crying rang in her ears.
“Mommy … ooooooooo …”
Keira was too young and was crying in fear at the moment, unable to say anything, only calling for her mother.
Hearing her frightened cry, Emma Richard’s heart also tightened, but before she could be comforted, the other party had already hung up the phone. When she called again, the number was empty!
Emma Richard choked and contacted Eric Chan, asking him to come and look after Alex Roberts, while she rushed back to the Wright Family home.
After finding out Keira was missing, she didn’t dare to tell her family, fearing her grandfather would fall ill from the shock.
Yesterday the sky was clear, but today it is cloudy, and the atmosphere inside the Wright Family home is heavy.
Plainclothes police officers are setting up equipment in the living room, and Emma Richard is sitting beside her grandfather with a pale face, calming him down.
After hearing that Keira was kidnapped, Master Wright was so excited that he almost fainted several times. After taking a quick-acting drug, he covered his heart and gasped for breath, staring at the listening device on the coffee table in a daze.
Joe Wright received the news, rushed back, just entered the door, there is a teacup smashed at the feet.
The porcelain cup shattered, the tea splashed on the haute couture leather shoes and suit pants, the police officer next to him was stunned, but he did not move, deeply bowed his head.
“Sorry grandpa, I’m late.”
“You’re more than late!”
Master Wright shot up, pointed at him angrily and cursed: “Do you know that Keira was kidnapped? What did you promise me before? Take care of Emma and her daughter and don’t let them get hurt again, did you do that?”
Joe Wright buried his head even lower, still the same words: “I’m sorry.”
Emma Richard, however, could not bear to see him being scolded for her mistake, and quickly advised Master Wright: “Grandpa, you should go back to your room and rest, there is brother here, and the police, Keira will be fine.”
This statement is to comfort both Master Wright, but also to comfort herself.
Master Wright understood that he could not help by staying, and if he fell ill at this time, he would cause trouble for the children, so he was helped by the maid to go to his room.
