Seeing his hesitation, Eva Taylor deliberately teased: “Why are you dragging your feet, are you afraid that I will settle the score?”
After the reunion, Eva Taylor’s temper is much better than before, to Joe Wright also more trust, Joe Wright certainly not afraid of her jealousy, but only worried about her safety.
“It’s too late today, I’ll drive you in the morning.” A few moments later, Joe Wright finally reluctantly agrees.
Back in her room to rest, Emma Rosy looked out the window into the thick darkness, her mind in turmoil, until her cell phone vibrated.
–I have arrived home safely, you rest early.
When she received the late message, she finally felt relieved and closed her eyes to fall into sleep.
The next morning.
Joe Wright drove along the sparsely populated suburban road, checking the condition of Emma Rosy and Candy Hall in the backseat through the rearview mirror every now and then.
There were four people in the car, and Candy Hall felt uncomfortable being guarded by the other three like a thief, even if she was slow to react.
Finally, after passing a certain intersection, she couldn’t help covering her chest and suggested, “Can you drive slower? I’m getting carsick and I want to throw up, and it’s really hard.”
Joe Wright leaned over and said in a quiet voice, “We’ll be there soon, just bear with it.”
Candy Hall, after all, is a pregnant woman, her body’s ability to withstand is not as normal, Emma Rosy has also been pregnant with a daughter, can understand the pain and helplessness of pregnancy reactions, and spoke up to help her plead.
“Joe, it’s better to slow down, there are some factories around here that occasionally drive their goods.”
Eva Taylor, who always favors Emma Rosy, also pushed Joe Wright’s arm: “I told you to drive slower, Emma sometimes gets carsick, you forget?”
Three women are one show, Joe Wright in order to protect his ears from being worn out calluses, immediately slow down the car.
He thought he’d finally get some peace and quiet, and after dropping her off at the apartment, he could focus on investigating the “truth” about Marisa Miller’s death, but not long after, there was a sudden scream from behind him!
The slow-moving car swayed, Eva Taylor tired, leaning back in the seat to sleep, heard the scream, followed by the inertia of the emergency brake thrown forward windshield, just sitting still, not waiting to ask, Joe Wright rushed out of the car.
“What’s wrong, why are you running …” Eva Taylor turned her head in amazement, her eyes abruptly widened.
“Emma, how did this happen …”
The back row of the car, only to see Emma Rosy face pale leaning in the seat, one hand dead pressed abdomen, the other hand clutching a cell phone. The blood soaked the light blue dress, dripping down the hem of the skirt to the ground, like a red plum in full bloom.
Joe Wright had already opened the car door, his face was gloomy to the extreme, but his eyes were full of pain and chagrin when he looked at Emma Rosy, and saw Eva Taylor still frozen in place, and shouted in anxiety: “Call an ambulance!
Then Joe Wright returned to the driver’s seat, told Eva Taylor to look after Emma Rosy in the back, and quickly turned the car around and drove back.
In the reeds beside the road, Candy Hall stood frozen in place, her face covered with bruises from jumping out of the car without waiting for it to stop …
Inside the car, Emma Rosy, holding on to her last vestiges of consciousness, handed the phone clutched in her palm to Eva Taylor and said in a breathless voice: “Marisa Darcy… is not dead …”
Before the words left his mouth, his eyelids had grown heavy and he was plunged into boundless darkness.
Eva Taylor anxious tears, crying for her to wake up, the line of sight fell on the phone screen, behind the sudden creeping layer of chills.
Late night zero.
–Bitch, how dare you run away?
5:00 AM.
— Don’t think that by uniting Emma Rosy, Joe Wright, you’ll be safe in the future, I’ve been watching you silently in the dark. Want to earn my forgiveness? Bring your tools with you, find a chance to do Emma Rosy, and I’ll spare your life.
Just now.
–when are you going to do it?
Three text messages prompted Candy Hall to pull out the dagger she had prepared and stab Emma Rosy in the abdomen, without thinking that just before Marisa Darcysent the threatening text message, Emma Rosy also felt sorry for her as a pregnant woman too hard and helped to plead with Joe Wright.
In this world, goodness and evil deeds, never reciprocal existence.
The smell of disinfectant water, the sound of medicine ticking in the infusion tube, the soft, warm glow, everything is so familiar and friendly.
Perhaps this place where she had fought had given her courage, and Emma Rosy woke up with peace in her heart.
It was only when she saw the man at her bedside that she frowned in confusion and muttered, “Did I hallucinate too badly, or did I die and go to heaven, and why did I see you?”
Alex Brown sat expressionlessly in his chair, intending to wait for her to finish talking before giving her a good lecture on carelessness, but the more he listened, the cuter he found it, and finally he couldn’t help but show a smile.
“Laughing?” Emma Rosy was stunned and looked more and more puzzled.
If she hadn’t just been injured, Alex Brown would have wanted to rub that innocent and silly little face, but now he could only barely keep his face straight and said, “What else, do you really think you’re in heaven?”
When she heard the voice, Emma Rosy’s somewhat dizzy mind completely awake, now suddenly red eyes, full of grievances rushed to the heart.
She opened and closed her lips, but her throat choked up and she couldn’t make a sound, so she got up and hugged Alex Brown despite her injury.
“The wound just stitched, you …” eyes down, found the blue and white hospital gown gradually appear blood color, Alex Brown rushed to ring the bell, help Emma Rosy lie back to the original position.
The doctor has led the nurse to come in quickly, saw Emma Rosy’s wound open, while Alex Brown’ white shirt is also stained with blood, the doctor can not help but tease: “the young couple good feelings, but also depends on the occasion, I stitches earlier stitch how good, and have to do it again!
Emma Rosy blushed, but because of her patient status, she closed her eyes and pretended to rest, so she easily avoided the embarrassment.
Poor Alex Brown, the whole stitching process was laughed at by the doctor and the nurse from beginning to end, and after they left, they felt much better breathing.
“You!” He raised his hand to nod at the woman pretending to be asleep on the bed, pulled back his chair and sat back, unable to stop himself from laughing.
Emma Rosy eyes open a slit, to confirm that outsiders gone, this is embarrassed smile, quickly change the subject: “You are not very busy, how come over?”
Even if he was busy with work and trying to avoid public opinion, he had to be the first to show up when she was hurt like this, so what was so surprising about that?
Alex Brown looked at her with doting eyes, didn’t explain much and told her rewardingly, “The cell phone you grabbed at the last minute made a big difference. The police verified the location of the sender at the time and after pulling road surveillance, it was confirmed to be Marisa Miller.”
With surveillance video to testify, the police finally confirmed that Marisa Darcywas still alive. Members of the task force looking for her immediately went out, but unfortunately the surveillance cameras on the road where she was located were not good enough, and she disappeared on the way and was lost again.
“It can’t be helped, after all, no one could have predicted that she and Candy Hall did not conspire in advance, but suddenly threatened.” Emma Rosy sighs, not feeling too sorry for herself.
However, Candy Hall’s sudden change of face over Marisa Miller’s three text messages, and even the knife fight, made her very cold.
Marisa Darcyis certainly hateful, but this time the person who hurt Emma Rosy is Candy Hall, Alex Brown naturally also hate her to the bone, see the situation coldly grunted: “That woman is bound to end up in her own death, you do not worry about your injuries, I will help you revenge!
Hearing Alex Brown’ meaning, he seemed to know where Candy Hall was, Emma Rosy was astonished: “You found her?”
“No need to find her. She was lucky that her baby didn’t die when she jumped out of the car with a big belly.” Said Alex Brown hooked his lips sneer: “But she is now in a coma in the intensive care unit, perhaps earlier than the child died, it is possible.”
Immediately after Emma Rosy’s injury, Joe Wright and Eva Taylor sent her back, leaving no time for Candy Hall, but Candy Hall didn’t make it more than a few steps through the reeds before she fainted from abdominal pain, and the police caught her red-handed when they were called to the scene.
“But she hasn’t woken up yet, so she shouldn’t be taken to the police for a while, right?”
Emma Rosy tries to sit up, Alex Brown is afraid that she will tear the wound again, and rush forward to help, the tone is still not good: “No need to go to the police, just go to the morgue.”
Alex Brown felt sorry for Emma Rosy, just venting his anger, but Emma Rosy had more considerations than him, such as the poor child in Candy Hall’s belly.
The child is innocent, since it was in Candy Hall’s belly, it has never had a day of peace, and it is in danger of not seeing the world at any time.
When she offered to visit Candy Hall, she was met with a stern refusal from Alex Brown.
“Haven’t you been victimized enough by her? That kind of person leaving her to fend for herself is a handout, and your kindness won’t move her at all!”
“I just want to see the child. Candy Hall is abominable, but the child has done nothing wrong.” Emma Rosy shook Alex Brown’ sleeve, softly pleading: “And isn’t she still in a coma, she can’t possibly hurt me.”
No matter how much she tried to persuade him, Alex Brown just said in two cold words, “No way!”
Although she understood the reason for Alex Brown’ attitude, she was not willing to lose her freedom and was slightly exasperated: “I am not a great and selfless person, all I did was to move myself. I went to see Candy Hall because we are both mothers, and you wouldn’t understand how important children are to mothers!”
After that, not giving Alex Brown time to retort, she turned straight and walked out the door.
Alex Brown, having been taught a lesson, misunderstood her words as a metaphor for the harm he had done to her and Keira, finally lost the courage to stop her and went after her.
Outside the ICU, two uniformed police officers were standing by, watching over every patient and family member who passed by.
No friends or relatives were allowed to visit, and no one was allowed to approach except for the attending physician and a verified nurse.
Marisa Darcywas an extremely dangerous person, and Candy Hall was under her control, so it was only natural to be cautious.
The doctor was stopped by Emma Rosy at the corner of the corridor, and after some verbal bombardment, the doctor accepted Emma Rosy’s request to explain the situation to the police on duty.
The task force had issued a notice that if Candy Hall did not wake up by this evening, she would be transferred to the internal hospital of the detention center. After a little discussion, They police officers asked their superiors for permission to watch Candy Hall through the glass window for a while.
Knowing that Candy Hall was about to be transferred, Emma Rosy approached the police again and offered to pay for all Candy Hall’s future expenses and to adopt the baby if it was born unattended.
Alex Brown, who had been listening without saying a word, finally raised his eyebrows and pulled Emma Rosy over with a face full of anger: “What are you doing adopting a murderer’s child? Let him follow in his mother’s footsteps and continue to harm you and the Wright Family?”
Not expecting him to speak so harshly, Emma Rosy shook off her hand and took a few steps back, with a deep sense of disbelief in her eyes: “People are good by nature, how can a newborn child have evil thoughts? Only by letting him live in a harmonious and happy environment can we prevent him from following his mother’s old path, no?”
“Even so …” Alex Brown crossed his arms and took a deep breath to try to calm his emotions: “You adopt Hope, I am in favor of it with both hands and can treat Hope as my own daughter, but Candy Hall’s child, sorry, I will never approve!”
“That’s your problem!”
“You are my wife!”
“Not yet!” Emma Rosy turned her head away, the agitation causing the wound to ache again, and despite her best efforts to hold it back, her eyes went black.
Alex Brown, who was also angry, didn’t notice the difference and tried to pull her again, but she struggled to avoid it and fell limply.
In a trance, she felt herself being picked up horizontally and rushed upside down towards the ward, Emma Rosy was still trying to resist when Alex Brown’ trembling voice rang out above her.
“Be careful of the wound … I was wrong, we won’t fight, I’ll do whatever you want!”
In the ward, Emma Rosy, who had been injected with painkillers, fell into a deep sleep, her face even paler than before.
Alex Brown leaned against the corridor wall, his heart felt like a huge stone, and he could not relax for a moment.
In the dimly lit stairwell, the scarlet light flickered on and off, and a wisp of smoke curled upward and disappeared in mid-air.
In fact, in the final analysis, the source of this matter is still on Joe Wright, Candy Hall is Joe Wright provoked, the child is also his blood, any responsibility should not be Emma Rosy to bear.
Considering for a moment, Alex Brown threw down the cigarette butt, stood up and walked towards the door.
Joe Wright, who had been caring for Master Wright in his hospital room, came to see Emma Rosy sleeping peacefully when he received the call, casting a rare approving glance at Alex Brown, but after hearing what happened this afternoon, the smile on his face froze instantly.
“Emma is hurt like this, because of the baby in Candy Hall’s belly, you actually argued with her?” Fear of waking Emma Rosy, Joe Wright could only lower his voice to question, but his face was extremely unkind.
Alex Brown is no better than him, coldly reminded: “I know I should not be impulsive, but you should not evade the issue, if not for your fault, Emma would not be here today.”
Indeed, compared to Alex Brown, Joe Wright is the one who is more wrong.
He turned his face away in shame, his tone still containing annoyance: “I will naturally take care of the aftermath of Candy Hall, and as for the child … if I have no other choice, I will also be responsible. In any case, there will be no more trouble for Emma.”
“Better so.”
Alex Brown unceremoniously, then turned around and wanted to leave, just took a step, and then abruptly stopped.
There are some things he can’t say directly to Emma Rosy, only this person behind him, can be trusted with peace of mind.
“My condition, Emma should have told you, if bad luck, I’m afraid I can not guard her for the rest of my life, you can promise to always take care of her, not let her suffer half a minute, not easily let her tears?”
Emma Rosy is not only his lover, but also Joe Wright’s only beloved sister, the light of his life.
“I promise.” Joe Wright replied calmly.
Alex Brown tilted his head, his attitude easing: “Thank you, I’m available if Ms. Taylor needs an explanation.”
“I’m not prejudiced against patients, but if you can’t take care of Emma for the rest of her life, then don’t bother.
I already know about Charles Taylor’s company, and although I privately think what you did was a bit nasty, I won’t care more if Emma doesn’t mention it, I just hope you will stop in time and not make an exception.”
On the hospital bed, Emma Rosy opened her eyes just in time.
Looking in the direction of Alex Brown’ departure, she looked a little nervous: “Joe, did you have a fight? Alex didn’t mean to upset me, and he is not well, why did you drive him away?”
Joe Wright hurriedly explained, “No, take it easy, we were just talking about something.”
“Then why did he leave?” Emma Rosy blinked, her brow furrowed slightly, clearly not quite convinced.
“He … probably had to go back to the office, I think, and after you were taken to the hospital, he got word and came right away to keep watch and didn’t leave for the whole day.” Joe Wright also do not know how Alex Brown suddenly left, can only casually find an excuse to put off, and then changed the subject: “and Candy Hall matter, you do not need to bother, I have made the trouble must be cleaned up themselves, you feel at ease to recuperate, do not think too much.”
