David Brown was not interested in the family fortune, and naturally did not care about his threats, but looked very shocked at his sudden refreshed spirit and even the strength to curse.
Alex Brown took the initiative to remove his disguise and made it clear that he was faking his illness. The Brown Family people present had different thoughts, but coincidentally thought he was playing tricks again.
After all, everything he’s done since his return has been jaw-dropping and frightening.
“No matter what, the body is the most important thing, or to recuperate at ease.” David Brown gave a few words of advice and got up to leave.
Fiona Brown looked at him for a moment and hooked her lips perfunctorily: “That’s right, you must be more careful on a regular basis, otherwise it’s really worrying to have another disappearance and another car accident.”
Is that a warning?
Alex Brown smiled back, but his eyes were cold: “I will remember my aunt’s advice.”
The door opened and the Brown family filed out.
Emma Rosy is accompanying Keira in the hall to play games, found them approaching, Keira instantly hid behind Emma Rosy, hands clutching the corner of her coat, careful to show only eyes.
Keira grew up in the Wright Family, where she was highly cared for and doted on by her elders.
She had never met anyone with the kind of superior attitude of the Brown family, so she naturally felt scared.
David Brown smiled benevolently at her as he passed by and did not stop, but Fiona Brown stopped in her tracks and looked down at her face.
“Your name is Keira, isn’t it? What’s your last name?”
Keira has a lovely appearance and is often asked her name and age outside, but Fiona Brown is clearly not asking because she likes her.
“My… name is…,” Keira whispered, looking up at Emma Rosy, then biting her lip and darting back to where she was.
Fiona Brown saw this and shook her head in disdain.
Originally, for the sake of the Brown family lineage, she wanted to get along with Keira, at least to know each other, but she didn’t expect the child to be timid and not even know how to say hello.
So she saves herself the trouble. It’s a girl anyway, and Alex Brown wouldn’t be stupid enough to leave the family business to a daughter who was raised by someone else.
Her calculations were written on her face, and Emma Rosy, not wanting Keira to be drawn into the treacherous fight over the family fortune, politely stated, “Keira will always be with the Wright Family, and if she wishes, she will grow up and go straight into the Wright Group.”
The implication is that Keira is still needed in the Wright Group, and she doesn’t care to be involved in the Brown Family’s rights and wrongs.
At that, Fiona Brown was obviously more relaxed, but her face was still gloomy, as if she was very dissatisfied with Emma Rosy’s words.
“The Wright Group is the leading company in the industry, but the Brown Group’s development in recent years is not to be underestimated, you, you should be more modest, do not be too confident.”
Fiona Brown was sarcastic in the hospital room, and now she’s provoking her. If she holds back, she’ll give the wrong impression that the Wright Family is easy to bully.
Emma Rosy looked at her calmly, her smile full of pride: “Thank you for your reminder, but as of now, the Wright Family still has the confidence, even pride, and Keira’s future at the Wright Family will definitely be better than at the Brown Family. Keira will do better at Wright than at Brown.”
Fiona Brown sneered, “I thought Miss Wright was a smart girl, but she’s not. If things go on like this, there’s no telling how long the Wright Family will be able to continue to thrive!”
Fiona Brown is aggressive, but Emma Rosy can’t keep arguing with her. After all, she is the eldest and Alex Brown is still recovering from his injury, so it would not look good for everyone.
Keira, who had been hiding behind her back, suddenly came out and glared at Fiona Brown: “Our family is fine, who are you to curse us? It’s bad luck for bad people like you to bully my mother!”
Fiona Brown froze in her tracks as Dylan Brown strode towards Keira.
“Damn girl, who are you talking to?
Emma Rosy rushed to protect Keira and confronted Dylan Brown, thinking that this mother and son were really disgusting, they had provoked her first, but they were still talking to children.
Fortunately, David Brown came back and stood at the corner and shouted, “Don’t you want to stay and take care of alex?”
Dylan Brown didn’t dare to offend him, so he gave Emma Rosy a stern look and left.
When Emma Rosy took Keira back to the hospital room, Alex Brown was leaning on the head of the bed, back to his previous frail appearance, and his face was still a bit depressed.
The afternoon flew by after the Brown family’s tussle, and it was already late afternoon.
Keira had to go to kindergarten tomorrow, so Joe Wright came to pick her up and was not surprised to see Alex Brown, but his face was very unpleasant.
“Mr. Brown is still alive!” Helping Keira put on her coat, he rambles sarcastically.
His hostility was undisguised, and Alex Brown had no way to play dumb, so he asked, feigning confusion, “Have we met before?”
“Don’t give me that! Leaving Emma behind for two years, returning with another woman, and putting on a big fake death show.” Joe Wright turned around, anger mixed with contempt: “If you’re so capable, why don’t you disappear forever and go live with your fiancée?”
Joe Wright’s accusation hit the nail on the head, and Alex Brown hung his head, secretly thinking that his return might indeed be selfish.
Emma Rosy mistook his guilt for aggression and helpfully explained, “Joe, he’s lost his memory and doesn’t remember much of what happened before.”
His eyes lingered on Alex Brown’ face for a moment, and Joe Wright smiled mockingly, seemingly unconvinced by the “memory loss” excuse.
“I don’t care if he’s dead or alive, what’s amnesia? I just want to remind him that as a man should be responsible, love a woman, either recklessly marry her, or do not provoke!”
After saying that, he picked up Keira and left with a big stride.
After Joe Wright left, the ward fell into a silence. Sensing Emma Rosy’s embarrassment, Alex Brown apologized with a forlorn face.
“I’m sorry if some of my actions, caused you distress…, maybe I shouldn’t have asked you to stay, but I don’t know why, when I’m with you, I always feel happy somehow.”
Now these words, and what do they mean? Fear of being misunderstood by her fiancée, fear of suffering moral condemnation, so drive her away?
Emma Rosy is heartbroken, but also very clear that she actually has no reason to stay.
“The one who should apologize is me.” She struggled to hold up a smile, lowered her eyelashes and said softly, “I should not have come over.”
Ring-ring-ring
Alex Brown took out his cell phone and saw Ivy Smith’s name on the screen, hesitated a little, but swiped to answer.
“Alex, have you had dinner yet?” Ivy Smith’s tone was light and cheerful, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
As expected, Alex Brown gave a perfunctory “hmm”, and then heard her continue: “I have good news for you, the project has been signed! After contacting the material company, you can start the project at any time, I have sent you the specific information, remember to receive.”
After she finished, Ivy Smith subconsciously held her breath, waiting for Alex Brown’ compliment.
After a few moments, Alex Brown told her flatly, “I am still in the hospital, Eric Chan will handle these matters for me, you can communicate with him directly.”
“Are you having another attack? Or is it the aftermath of the car accident? Before going back obviously fine… Eric Chan how he did not say it, if I had known this, I could have gone back to take care of you first ah!”
“It’s okay, it’s just to cope with the elders.” Alex Brown explained, thinking for a moment, hard to hide the happiness added: “And, Emma is here.”
Emma Rosy?
Ivy Smith instantly clutched her phone, the worry, nervousness and remorse on her face replaced by cynicism.
It had been two days since Alex Brown had returned, and she had worked around the clock to keep him worry-free, negotiating partnerships and worrying about his health all the time.
And while she was silently giving, he let Emma Rosy stay with him and told her!
“Don’t you forget, we have a marriage contract.” She forced her irritation and reminded him word by word.
In fact, every time she bound Alex Brown with a marriage contract, the pain in her heart was not less than Alex Brown, because for a person who is proud by nature, having her self-esteem trampled underfoot is the cruelest thing.
Unfortunately, Alex Brown does not care about this.
“I have seen all your efforts in the past two years, and when I finish everything, I will break the engagement to set you free and provide you with a bountiful harvest of compensation.” Alex Brown still has the same uninfluenced tone, but in Ivy Smith’s ears, but sharper than a sharp knife: “Of course, what I said last time still holds true.”
Last time, parked in the car outside the hotel, he told her she could unilaterally announce her breakup at any time.
Disappointed to the extreme, Ivy Smith held the phone in front of her face, imagining Alex Brown’s resolute appearance, slowly closed her eyes and ended the call.
Forget it, Alex Brown’ heart was not in her, and now she was not even there, so it was useless to make a fuss or cry about her grievances, let’s wait for her to return…
Ivy Smith is a smart woman, Alex Brown expected her to react this way, so he did not take it to heart, heard the footsteps ringing at the door, busy to put away the phone, weakly lying back on the hospital bed.
When he saw Emma Rosy approaching with a lunch box, she skillfully pulled the chair to the side of the bed and prepared to feed him, he felt a sense of joy –
Luckily, he reacted quickly and pretended to have a headache to leave her behind, otherwise where else would he find such a good treatment!
Eva Taylor, who was a guest at the old house, found it strange that Emma Rosy had not returned home yet.
