“Who is it?”
Eyes just opened a slit, but saw a blurred black shadow, she sat up violently, shouting for help.
The villager and the young couple came from the kitchen, she covered her violently beating heart with one hand and pointed outside with the other: “Someone … was just in the house!”
Herman Baker frowned and nodded with a heavy face: “It seems that someone ran out of the yard.”
Villagers also agreed: “Yes, it was too dark outside, but I also saw a dark shadow!”
Unknowingly, night had fallen, and it was simply not practical to go after the unidentified person, but despite Chloe Clintn staying behind for company, the panic in Emma Rosy’s heart was still growing exponentially.
She seemed to see the man running with a slight limp in one leg as he flashed past her eyes. Remember the owner of the guest house said that Paul Johnson had a cane in his hand when he checked in.
If it was really him, the dark shadow outside the cave might not be her hallucination, and the missing map, They strange smells and inexplicable headaches, might not be an accident, but the work of Paul Johnson.
In the small room of the reception, Joe Wright is trying to put chopsticks into Eva Taylor’s hand, patiently persuading: “Eat first, eat before you cry, okay? It tastes bad when it’s cold, and it hurts your stomach.”
It had been two days since she left home, Eva Taylor was not eating or sleeping well, and although Joe Wright was angry with her and deliberately ignored her, he cared in his heart.
Eva Taylor just wipe tears, do not appreciate his feelings.
“It’s none of your business if I starve to death, you hurry up and find Emma, maybe she’s still hungry … leave me alone!”
“She is my sister, you are my girlfriend, both are important, how can I only care about her and leave you alone?” There were no tissues in the room, Joe Wright used his fingers to wipe away Eva Taylor’s teardrops, feeling that she was like a child, afraid that adults did not care about them, so she tried every possible way to fight for favor, and finally got attention, but felt aggrieved.
The good thing is that she is pure-minded and has all her thoughts written on her face, so she won’t do any real harm to people.
Joe Wright took her by the shoulders and shook her a few times: “If you want to lose your temper, you can eat and then argue with me, okay?”
“Who’s going to give you a fight?”
Eva Taylor suddenly blushed, cursing herself for being useless. She was clearly determined not to forgive, but Joe Wright was a little bit more gentle, she was dizzy, full of anger disappeared into the air.
In order to secure her position, she tried to put on her face and said in a loud voice: “It’s okay to let me have dinner, but you have to stay with me tonight and not go to Emma!”
Joe Wright thought for a moment, “Okay, you can go to dinner, I’m not leaving.”
This time it was Eva Taylor’s turn to be shocked, thinking that Emma is not his treasure in the palm of his hand, how can he be relieved not to go to see her?
“Are you sure?” Eva Taylor probe over, blinked, incredulous follow-up.
The corners of Joe Wright’s lips rose and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Emma lived in the villagers’ house, with Chloe Clintn and Herman Baker by her side, what did he have to worry about? It was this girlfriend, who was afraid of the dark and bugs and angry, that needed his careful attention.
“Ten thousand sure–” Joe Wright reassured helplessly, who knew that the words had not yet fallen, the door was suddenly knocked.
It turned out that the villagers came looking for him, saying that there seemed to be bad people in the house, and Emma Rosy’s dizziness was more serious, so he should go back quickly to take a look.
Upon hearing this, Eva Taylor pushed the rice noodles she had just eaten to the side and hurriedly put on her jacket: “I’ll go with you!”
“The road is not easy to walk in the dark, you’d better …”
“Don’t worry, I’m not jealous this time, I’m just worried about Emma.” Seeing Joe Wright trying to dissuade, Eva Taylor preempted the explanation.
Joe Wright took her word for it and, after a moment’s consideration, agreed: “It’s good that you’re with me to avoid some risk.”
So They of them rushed to the villager’s house, Emma Rosy was already asleep, except for a slightly pale face, there is no serious injury.
“I just gave her an anti-inflammatory pill, and it seems to be working.” As she spoke, Chloe Clintn yawned, very sleepy.
Herman Baker, distressed by his girlfriend but knowing that Emma Rosy needed company, hesitated to say anything.
Eva Taylor, who has a rare sense of perspective, stepped forward and said, “I’ll take care of Emma, you all go to bed.
Chloe Clintn, as if she had been pardoned, rushed to the next room with Herman Baker to rest, Joe Wright could not bear to let Eva Taylor tired, want to take care of Emma Rosy instead of her, but afraid of causing misunderstanding, only to find a compromise solution.
“I’ll stay with you.”
Just before sitting down on the edge of the bed, his shoulder has been slapped by Eva Taylor: “All right, no need to show loyalty, I understand what you mean. I’ve been sleeping during the day, and I’m in good spirits, so I’ll be fine.”
Joe Wright’s concerns, she knew in her heart, in fact, she never minded that Joe Wright was good to Emma Rosy, she just wanted him to have an attitude. She wanted him to know that a girlfriend and a sister were not the same.
