In the evening of the second day, Liam was back at the hospital with a bunch of documents.
Emily was preparing dinner for Hunter. As she returned, Liam just exited the ward.
“What’s that?” her heart quivered when she saw the documents in Liam’s hands. She felt unease for no reason.
Liam was not in a good mood; he was disappointed. However, he was still very respectful when he spoke to Emily.
“These are the agreements signed by Eldest Young Master Jackson.”
Liam looked at her and tried to talk. However, he remembered Eldest Young Master Jackson’s instructions, so he said nothing.
“Never mind, Miss Emily. Please go in and look after Eldest Young Master Jackson. His wound had reopened a little yesterday. The doctor told him to get more rest, but he doesn’t listen to him.”
There was only one person in the world that could make Eldest Young Master to do as he was told.
“What are them? What agreements?”
Emily got even more anxious when Liam dodged her question. She recalled her conversation with Hunter yesterday. “Are they—”
“Yes. He had signed an agreement to transfer his shares.”
Liam was disappointed that Eldest Young Master Jackson decided to give up everything that he had. It was a drastic change to his life! As his subordinate, he did not want that to happen.
However, it was Eldest Young Master Jackson who made the decision. Liam could only support it.
“Eldest Young Master had transferred all his shares in Jackson Corporation to Third Young Master Jackson. He had also resigned from the position as the CEO of Jackson Corporation. He said that he would never return to Bentson, and he will follow you wherever you go.”
Liam looked at Emily; he knew he could only give them his blessing. “Miss Emily, please don’t run away again. I would not like to see Eldest Young Master Jackson living like a zombie again. He will search you again if you run away, day and night. Not mention that he has nothing now. He will be crazy about looking for you.”
She could see Hunter traversed the world to search for her. Could she be tough enough to see him like that?
“What’s more, Miss Emily, could you please do me a favor and ask Eldest Young Master Jackson to take me with him? I will follow him wherever he goes; I am willing to stay by his side.”
Liam was distraught. Since Eldest Young Master Jackson has given up everything, will he abandon his fellows too? They had been with Eldest Young Master Jackson for more than ten, some as many as 20 years. If Eldest Young Master Jackson abandoned them, where could they go and what could they do?
“Nonsense!” Emily was not thinking about their future right now, but she was thinking how could Hunter sign those agreements?
“Don’t send those agreements out; I’ll talk to him.”
“There’s no point. Unless you come back to him, or he will reject any of these.” Liam smiled with a helplessly voice.
“Miss Emily, don’t you not understand him well by now?”
Emily entered the ward with a heavy and uncertain heart.
She saw Hunter has changed his clothes, and she got anxious, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing. Just changed my clothes.”
“What’s next?” Why did he change his clothes as everything was fine?
Hunter took her hand and looked at her with a serious face. “I’m afraid that you would run away without a hint. Since I have gotten changed, if you run, I could chase after you immediately with dignity instead of running all over the place in a hospital gown.”
Her heart soured when he said that. She finally cried after she had held back for so long.
The man was out of his mind!
Since the first day she knew him, she knew he was crazy in all aspects!
‘I have been entangled with him for two lifetimes, and there have been sorrow, despair, happiness, and difficulties. Is it really possible for now to forgive him and start over with him?’
However, what about the one she had hurt and had given hope to?
On the third morning, Emily saw that man.
He had returned worn out and raggedy.
“I’m sorry.”
Emily’s tears gushed the moment she saw him.
“Do you say sorry because you have decided to be with that person?”
Terry was calm; there was no sadness, bitterness, or anger. It was as if he had anticipated the outcome.
“It’s fine. At least, I don’t have to be so stressed out anymore.”
“Terry…” What did he mean?
“Because I know that you don’t love me. You treat me as a friend. A very good friend.”
Terry sighed loud and stared out into the sky. As he lowered his head, the sorrow gone. He hid it.
He smiled. It was a bright smile, “It is a stressful thing to be with someone does not love me. I’ve been even thinking, is it possible to get intimate with you without any hesitations?”
Emily bit her lips and blushed slightly. Nevertheless, her heart rejected any thoughts of intimacy with Terry.
“Well, if you are reluctant to do so, how could I force you to?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t say sorry. Just tell me affirmatively. You will be surely happy with that man for the rest of your life.”
How could Emily say that? She herself was not sure about if she could be happy in the rest of her life.
“If she stays with me, not only would she be happy for the rest of her life, she would be happy throughout her lifetimes.”
An impeccably dressed man emerged from the ward and embraced Emily in his arms.
Terry’s eyes got a little defensive, but there was some complexities that Emily would not fully understand.
“You should go home, too,” said Hunter.
Emily was confused. Terry should go home? Why did she feel like there is something strange?
Terry remained expressionless. After a while, he said in a soft voice, “If…you are having a wedding, then…I will return.”
“Where?” Emily got even more confused. Was she missing a part of the puzzle?
Terry looked at her and paused for a long time. He took a deep breath and said softly, “Return to my family…the Jackson family.”
“Terry…”
“I am an illegitimate child of the Jackson family. The seventh one.” Terry clenched his fist tightly. He had not fully accepted that identity yet.
Finally, he gave in. Because of Emily. He smiled. As the soft sunlight fell on his face, his smile become even brighter.
“Let’s go home together, Eldest Sister-in-Law.”
…
Home was not that far as it only took a short time by plane.
Liam did not send out the agreements that Hunter had sighed. Emily said she could not be so selfish to ruin Hunter’s life.
Hunter was fine with anything as long as it was his wife’s idea. He was not only a daughter slave, but also a wife slave. However, it looked like he was happy to do so.
On the private jet, Joseph chatted with two children in the front row; he wanted to bond with them. Liam and Terry sat at the back.
After they decided to go home, Terry seemed to smile a lot more. He had an introverted personality; perhaps it was because he was an illegitimate child.
“Wealthy young masters like you guys change women as if they were old clothes. You will never notice that it could easily ruin a woman’s life or even the life of a child.” Terry was the perfect example.
Hunter took her hand in his. “Look outside.”
“For what?” The blue sky and white clouds were beautiful at the beginning, but they quickly became dull.
Hunter’s lips curled into a smile as he looked out the window with her.
“With the heavens and earth as my witnesses, if I, Hunter, touch or flirt with any women other than Emily in the rest of my life, the heavens will smite me, and I will die a horrible death.”
“Quit talking nonsense!” Emily hurriedly stretched her hand and cover his mouth. “Stop this foolishness!”
“There is a perfect way to prevent me from being a fool.” Hunter looked at her.
Emily looked at him with resentment. “What was that?”
“That is…to seal my lips!” Hunter lowered his head and a kiss was planted on her lips the very next second.
Emily could not resist him, but at that moment, she did not want to resist. She looped her arms around Hunter’s neck as she did not know where to put them, and finally embraced him tightly.
The blue sky and white clouds outside the jet, seemed like their witnesses.
Emily would take Hunter as her only man in her life. Not just this life, but next life, the life after next, all her lifetimes.
The plane soared through the sky heading toward their destination—their home. After two lifetimes, she finally had a home that she could call her own.
In this lifetime, she would make up all regrets in her past life.
From there onward, her home was wherever he was.
