Yoseph stretched out his hand and pinched her tender and snow-white face with incomparable tenderness. This intimate action was what he had always wanted to do.
However, Emma had been on all sorts of precautions against him. In the later period of time, he and Archie had been in an uproar. She had even erected spikes all over her body to prevent him from getting any closer.
Now, no matter what he wanted to do, there was no need to hesitate anymore. Just like at this moment, he only gently pinched her face and looked at her quietly.
Emma instinctively frowned and reached out to grab the water from earlier to drink, but the cup was directly snatched away by the man. “It’s cold. I’ll pour you another hot one.”
Emma saw the man’s gentle care for her and the confusion in her heart became heavier.
Based on her subtle observation of these two men, she found that they were sincere to her and were not hypocritical.
Then who was the person she truly liked before?
Emma began to struggle and instinctively wanted to find the answer through her brain.
But the result of using all her strength to think was that her brain was in pain.
“Yes!” She couldn’t help but want to press her own head.
Yoseph walked over in a hurry. “Emma, Did your head hurt again? I’ll call a doctor for you.”
At five o’clock in the afternoon, a team of soldiers suddenly marched into the hospital, hundreds of Special Forces soldiers, and the entire hospital was turned into a fortress.
The patients who came here to see the doctor were very surprised. They did not know what kind of important person was treating patients in this hospital.
When Minlan went downstairs to buy water, she discovered that these special forces soldiers suddenly appeared and her heart panicked.
Could it be that Archie really used the army of Country X to stop her from taking Emma away?
It was simply too overbearing. Emma was her daughter, what right did he have to stop her?
Minlan immediately returned to the door of the ward. Yoseph folded his long legs and sat on the sofa. He held an iPad in his hand and looked at it.
Emma fell asleep again.
There was a needle inserted into her slender and tender arm. It looked weak and pitiful.
“Yoseph, come out for a while!” Minlan had unknowingly changed the way she addressed him. It was as if she really treated him as her son-in-law.
Yoseph put down his iPad and walked out.
“Some soldiers suddenly appeared downstairs. They are holding firearms. I suspect that Archie sent them to target us.” Minlan asked angrily.
Yoseph was shocked too. He did not expect Archie to do this. It seemed like he really wanted to tear off all pretenses of cordiality with the Sandford Family.
“Auntie, calm down. We should not force this matter. Let’s just wait and see.” Yoseph didn’t intend to confront Archie. After all, his power in X Country couldn’t be compared to Grafton Family.
Minlan said angrily, “Archie has gone too far. Emma is my daughter. How can he do this to me?”
“Auntie, you didn’t know him before. That’s why you were deceived by his gentle appearance. He was a robber himself. He would do anything to achieve his goal, Auntie. Why don’t we leave first and wait for Emma’s condition to recover. She will definitely come back to find you.” Yoseph was actually worried about his own safety when Minlan left the country. If Archie could even transfer the special forces over, then in Country X. . . What else could he not do?
“Yoseph, you want us to go back now? Then Emma. . . ”
“Emma is now sick like this. Archie will not hurt her anymore. You don’t have to worry about her safety.” Yoseph advised.
Minlan was also sad and disappointed by Archie’s behavior. She could only nod her head. “Alright. If Archie does this, he won’t be able to marry my daughter in the future. I won’t agree to it even if I die.”
The corner of Yoseph’s mouth twitched inexplicably.
Minlan hated Archie so much. She was afraid that Archie’s future relationship would not be smooth.
Around seven o’clock, Emma woke up. Minlan and Yoseph found an excuse to return to the country first.
Emma was a little confused, but she still did not say anything to persuade them to stay.
“Emma, remember, once your illness recovers, you have to come back to find your mother. Do you understand?” Minlan’s words were filled with reluctance.
“Okay, I will be better in a few days. I will go back to find you!” Emma could feel her mother’s concern for her and nodded her head in agreement.
“Emma, my company has some urgent matters to attend to these two days. If You are back. Call me.” Yoseph reminded her in a low voice.
Emma looked at him and nodded.
The two of them turned around and left the ward. Emma propped herself up and sat up with a confused expression.
Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open and a tall figure walked in.
It was Archie!
He was wearing it! He walked over leisurely.
“Where’s your mother?” Archie asked casually, pretending not to know anything.
Emma frowned and said, “She went back.”
Her voice was very soft. Because she did not know why her biological mother would leave her at this time.
And her fiancé, who clearly seemed to have true feelings for her, left her behind before she fully recovered.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll take care of you.” Archie was already familiar with the small expression on her face, so he knew that she was very uneasy and scared.
Emma gently raised her head, and her gaze touched his deep and gentle eyes. It was as if an electric current ran through her heart, causing her heart to palpitate.
Her snow-white little face inexplicably turned red.
“Are you hungry? I brought you some food.” Archie said and clapped his hands. A young man immediately walked in from outside the door with two insulation boxes in his hands.
“Put them on the table!” Archie ordered.
The man put down his things and left respectfully.
Emma was initially disappointed that her mother and fiancé had left. But now, seeing him bring her dinner, she couldn’t help but feel touched.
“Archie, will you also suddenly leave me?” Emma stared at him and asked.
Archie stretched out his hand and brushed her messy hair. “No, I won’t leave you behind.”
Emma quickly pulled her hair back and said, a little embarrassed, “When. . . When can I wash my hair? Can you help me ask the doctor? With my current appearance, I don’t even have the face to meet people anymore.”
Because she was sweating, Emma felt that she was going to stink.
“You can’t wash your hair yet. You have a wound on your head.” Archie advised softly.
“But. . . But it is so wet and uncomfortable. It must be very ugly.” Emma lowered her small face in embarrassment again.
Archie did not expect that she would still care about her appearance. He clenched his fist and pressed it against his lips and laughed lightly. “It’s fine. No matter what you look like, I will not dislike you.”
These words really warmed Emma from head to toe in an instant.
She looked up at Archie in disbelief. Compared to his clean and elegant clothes, And that handsome and flawless face, and then looked at herself. She was wearing a large hospital gown, and a thin body. She also had a head of greasy hair and the smell of disinfectant. No matter how he looked at it, he could tell. . . It was not suitable for her.
Archie knew what she was thinking and could only squat down. His handsome face instantly enlarged several times in her pupils.
“Emma, you may not know how close our relationship is, just like a married couple who has been married for many years. So, no matter what your current image is, in my eyes, you will always be the woman I love the most. Don’t care about your current appearance. Cooperate well with the doctor’s treatment, understand?”
The soft and gentle voice made people feel extremely at ease.
Emma’s heart trembled deeply. Oh my god! Should she believe in love again?
After Archie finished speaking, the scalding large palm lifted her dumbstruck little face, and her thin lips lightly kissed her forehead. “Hurry up and get better. Only then can I bring you to understand our past.”
Emma was somewhat confused by his kiss. Her entire body froze into a sculpture.
Inexplicably, as if she was attracted by his words, her small head lightly tapped.
