Chapter 273

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

Most of the stories that start with “I have a friend” have the main character as themselves.
Joe Wright while pouring tea for Master Wright, while carefully measuring Emma Rosy, the heart probably has the answer, and pretended to be casual: “This kind of thing, or by you… that friend to decide the best. ”
Charles Taylor is certainly full of true feelings for Emma, but feelings can not be forced, if there is another person can get Emma’s favor, then try to develop a relationship, it is not impossible.
Emma Rosy rubbed her fingers together and her heart leapt: Grandpa and Joe had similar views and both supported her visit to Alex Brown!
At that moment, Keira and Hope came running downstairs together and sat down on either side of Emma Rosy.
Keira grabbed a handful of candy from the table, peeled off the paper and stuffed it into her mouth, looked at her with a meaningful sidelong glance, and said in a vague voice, “Of course Mom should go when her friend is hurt. Even if they had a falling out before, but didn’t mom teach me that people should learn to be forgiving?”
“That’s the way it is…” Emma Rosy subconsciously tried to explain, but suddenly realized something was wrong: “How do you know… don’t talk nonsense! !”
Emma Rosy’s face flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye, Hope saw the situation, came to her ear and whispered: “The injured person is Uncle Alex, we all know it!”
She didn’t expect to hide it from her grandfather and brother, but They little girls actually saw through it.
On second thought, Emma Rosy thought it would be a good idea to bring Keira with her. No matter what Alex Brown’ attitude was, the child should be given a chance to see her father.
Keira deliberately pokes holes in Emma Rosy’s excuse that she wants to see her dad, and is overjoyed to hear it.
They people sitting across from each other are confused.
Master Wright is still immersed in the drama, only to hear one moment is a friend, one moment is Emma Rosy herself, and then add Keira, this story is simply too confusing. And Joe Wright, after being stunned, gradually realized the identity of the “friend”…
The next day, mother and daughter arrived at the hospital.
After all, Emma Rosy had worked here for a while, so she knew her way around the senior ward and asked the nurse on duty for Alex Brown’ room number.
“Excuse me, do you know the patient?”The young nurse was a new face, serious at work.
Emma Rosy pursed her lips and had flipped Alex Brown’ number in her phone, but didn’t have the courage to dial it, so she said stiffly, “We know each other, but… is not convenient to contact right now.”
If Ivy Smith was with Alex Brown, wouldn’t it be self-defeating for her to barge in with Keira?
The nurse looked doubtful: “You should contact the patient first, we can’t disclose the patient’s hospital information without permission.”
Having been given a hard time, Emma Rosy took Keira away from the nurse’s desk and stood in the hall, not knowing where to go.
“Mom, won’t we see Dad?”Keira tilted her head and looked up at her with bewilderment.
Emma Rosy took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Keira: “Where did you find out about Dad’s injury?”
“There’s a lot of news on the internet, all plastered with Dad’s picture…”
Alex Brown had been deliberately murdered, and the media was sure to portray the situation in a confusing and frightening way for the sake of publicity, and Keira was too young to know any better, so she was only worried when she saw it.
Emma Rosy rubbed the top of her head and tried to put on a smile: “Daddy lives here and won’t be leaving anytime soon, let’s go back today and find another opportunity to see him, okay?”
Why do you have to leave without seeing him when you’re already here? The nurse aunt clearly said you could call…
Even if they had a falling out before, but didn’t mom teach me that people should learn to be forgiving?”
“That’s the way it is…” Emma Rosy subconsciously tried to explain, but suddenly realized something was wrong: “How do you know… don’t talk nonsense! !”

Why do you have to leave without seeing him when you’re already here? The nurse aunt clearly said she could call…
Keira was reluctant, but she had a vague feeling that Emma Rosy had something to do with it, so she had to sulk and agree.
But before she got into the elevator, the next elevator door suddenly opened and Eric Chan came out from inside.
“Miss Richard, Keira, you’re here?”
Eric Chan was not surprised by their appearance, and after greeting them familiarly, he made a gesture of “please” towards the side of the corridor: “Mr. Brown likes to be quiet, the ward is arranged in the inner side, follow me.”
Keira burst into smiles, let go of Emma Rosy’s hand, and jumped after Eric Chan.
“Uncle, is Daddy alone in the ward?”
Eric Chan slowed down with her and said in a warm voice, “Yes. Mr. Brown has not been in good spirits for the past few days, so he must be very happy to see you.”
“Really?” Keira couldn’t believe it at first, but after receiving Eric Chan’s assurance, she immediately turned to Emma Rosy and asked, “Can I stay with my dad? I’ll tell him stories and jokes, so he won’t be bored!”
Emma Rosy had not forgotten how Alex Brown treated Keira when they met again two years later, and privately did not believe Eric Chan’s words.
Fearing that Keira would suffer another blow after the excitement, she politely advised, “He needs to rest, and I’m afraid you’ll affect him if you keep making a fuss all day.”
Keira wilted and muttered, “I can be quiet, too….”
Eric Chan took in the exchange and said again, “Actually, Mr. Brown does need to be taken care of.”
Keira’s eyes lit up and she turned her head to make a face at Emma Rosy with glee.
The latter was exceptionally calm: “Isn’t there Ivy Smith, she should take care of it.”
“She is still on a business trip, I have to take care of the company for Mr. Brown.” Eric Chan looked at Emma Rosy’s face and said, “Mr. Brown can’t leave anyone here, he should have hired a caregiver, but you know his character, not everyone can get into his eyes.”
Emma Rosy hooked her lips in self-deprecation, suppressing the inexplicable unrealistic expectation, and was about to refuse, when Keira interrupted.
“My mom happens to be on vacation and can take care of dad!”
Eric Chan didn’t give Emma Rosy a chance to deny it, and hurriedly said, “In that case, it’s perfect. I’d like to thank Miss Richard for Mr. Brown and the Brown Family elders.”
After saying that, he pushed open the door of the hospital room and walked in first.
While Emma Rosy was struggling, he quickly stepped in front of the bed, blocked the view of mother and daughter with his body, quickly put on the ventilator for Alex Brown, and then turned around and took a step back: “Mr. Brown is still sleeping, the nurse will come to give him fluids in half an hour.”
On the hospital bed, Alex Brown lay under the covers, his left arm in a cast bent over his chest, swollen a few times more than usual. His face wasn’t really bad, but it was blocked by the ventilator, and anyone who looked at it couldn’t help but worry.
“He… he is…” did not expect to be injured so seriously, Emma Rosy shocked in place, half a day can not speak.
Keira also flattened her mouth, teardrops crackling down.
After waking up early in the morning, Alex Brown had a video conference with his foreign partners, cooperated with the doctor for a physical examination, ate a sumptuous nutritious meal, and had nothing better to do than to lie back in bed and rest, and unconsciously fell asleep.
Feeling something on the bridge of his nose, disturbing his good sleep, he slightly annoyed to raise his hand to take it off, but suddenly heard a low cough.
“Maybe it’s the aftermath of the car accident, recently Mr. Brown often has nightmares when he’s resting.”
Eric Chan feigned concern to Emma Rosy explained, and then turned his head, desperately giving Alex Brown a wink.
Half-squinting his eyes, he was dimly aware of Eric Chan’s strange appearance, and his eyes crossed to Emma Rosy and Keira not far away, Alex Brown nearly jumped up from the hospital bed with a “boom” in his head.
The good thing is that although his body is disabled, his reaction is still fast, he quickly understood Eric Chan’s meaning, his right hand covered his chest and started a violent coughing.
Emma Rosy poured a glass of warm water and helped him lean against the bed, feeding him with a worried face.
After drinking the water, he rubbed his chest and gasped: “You guys… why are you here, alas, I look like this, but don… t scare Keira .”
Alex Brown’ acting skills are not to be underestimated, Eric Chan looked straight at the side, thinking that if he didn’t know the inside story, he would really think he was very sick.
The family reunion was a great success for Eric Chan, so he had the sense to leave the stage in time to be rewarded later.
Alex Brown took advantage of his “serious injury” and made numerous excessive demands on Emma Rosy.
After getting up, he has to wash his face and hands, he needs a massage for headache, he has to be coaxed for painful infusion, and he is not allowed to hire a caregiver to go to the toilet, but Emma Rosy has to “help” herself…
Emma Rosy was told to do everything she could, for the sake of his serious illness.
“You can’t eat by yourself?”
“I’m injured.”
“It’s the left hand that’s hurt!”
“Oh, I’m left-handed.”
Emma Rosy stood in the middle of the ward and stared at him with her crossed arms, at least she had been a couple and had been in love, which hand he usually used to use, would she still not know?
“You better not tell me that after losing your memory, you even forgot your usual hand.” Emma Rosy’s face was expressionless as she warned.
At that, Alex Brown suddenly realized, he raised his right hand to the sunlight to observe: “If you say so, which hand I used to eat two years ago, I really don’t remember.”
“You–”
What a bummer!
Emma Rosy furiously sat down at the table, not wanting to accompany him in his drama.
Keira is eating beef noodles and says to herself, “It’s almost one o’clock, my stomach is upset, and the doctor said that people who are sick must eat on time, otherwise it will get worse.”
And then, winking slyly at Emma Rosy, “Mom, next time you can’t starve me again.”
It was indeed late, and although Alex Brown was suspected of lying, it was true that his arm was injured, and his sickly appearance was pathetic.
Knowing that Keira’s words meant something, Emma Rosy couldn’t resist jumping into the trap, and reluctantly picked up the lunch box to feed Alex Brown.
Halfway through the meal, the attending doctor brought a nurse to the room to check on him.
Feeding the injured is a normal thing to do, but Emma Rosy’s nervous reaction and instantly red cheeks make people think about it.
They nurses preparing the instruments turned their backs and laughed as their shoulders trembled. The attending doctor took Alex Brown’ blood pressure before breaking the silence and saying, “At this point, the situation is still unstable and must be monitored for some time. It’s best to have someone around at all times, in case an accident occurs and the patient is too late to ring the bell for the nurse.”
The latter half of the sentence was obviously addressed to Emma Rosy.
Alex Brown was not surprised that the doctor had deliberately described the injury as serious, because since last year, the Brown Group had been one of the investors in the city hospital, and Eric Chan only had to let him know, and he would have no worries.
Emma Rosy didn’t know what was going on, but she looked at Alex Brown with concern, not to mention feeding him, and thought that even if she had been more aggressive, she would have been more than accommodating.
Before the attending doctor left, he gave Alex Brown an additional medication to be taken within half an hour after the meal. Seeing that it was about time, Emma Rosy went to the nurse’s desk to pick up the medication.
“How quickly Miss Richard changes boyfriends, in just two years, she has dumped Dr. Clarke?” Emma Rosy took the medicine and was about to go back when a shadowy voice sounded behind her.
She didn’t pay attention to the nurse on duty just now, only to know that it wasn’t the same person as in the morning, but then she turned around to take a closer look and realized that it was actually a deceased person.
“It’s you.”
she didn’t expect that the person who sidelined and falsely accused her during her internship would still be working in the hospital today. She curled her lips and smiled lightly, ignoring her opponent’s provocation.
But the other party did not relent: “Now you’ve become a phoenix, you’ve transformed into Miss Richard, and you still remember us poor friends?
“I’m concentrating on my own life, whether it’s a sparrow or a phoenix, it’s none of your business, right? And I’m afraid the word ‘friend’ is not appropriate to describe you and me.”
Emma Rosy did not want to waste time, but also did not have the good temper to be pleasant to those who had hurt her. She resigned from the hospital two years ago for more complicated reasons, but it was not unrelated to the targeting of her colleagues, so this person in front of her, she did not have the slightest desire to befriend them.
The nurse snorted lightly, with a sneer still on her face: “Of course I’m not your friend, what about Dr. Clarke? He quit his job for you and went to a war-torn place like the border, aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Heh, if I were you, I would have no face!”
Most of the colleagues in the hospital don’t know about the old story, but the gossip never stops.
Emma Rosy did not bother to explain, and lightly responded, “What a pity, you are not me.”
