Chapter 225 The Best Person
Sammel stood outside the door and was going to push it open. However, the muted voices from the poorly soundproofed ward made his hand pause mid–air
He cast his gaze downward. Despite his reflective lenses masking his emotions, a tinge of disappointment emanated from him.
He thought the seeds he had nurtured were sprouting under his care, but it seemed it was all a figment of his imagination. The seeds had never germinated
After a moment, he turned and lett without a word.
William snorted. Emelle, having finished cleaning up, stood up straight away. “Mr. Middleton, you don’t need to act like you know me
“I haven’t spoken to Mr. Swanson because I don’t think it’s the right time yet. When the time comes, I won’t need to speak up. He’ll offer his help voluntarily.”
William frowned slightly. “Is he really that good in your eyes?“”
“He’s the best person I’ve ever met. He never asks for anything in return from me, and he helps me willingly” Emelie was frank.
This time, William scoffed directly, thinking she was too naive.
Emelie couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, so she tossed a clean hospital gown at him and left the ward to check on Melanie.
She had been in the hospital for two days, and Emelie hadn’t visited her yet.
To her surprise, she found Samuel standing by Melanie. “Mr. Swanson.”
Hearing that, Samuel turned around. His expression was briefly complex as he glanced at her, but it quickly faded. The usual gentleness returned to his eyes behind his glasses.
“What brings you here, Eme?” Samuel explained naturally, “I just came back from Blossom Clove to bring Melanie her meal. I was going to bring it to you next. Are you hungry?”
Melanie looked at Samuel strangely. He came to her, put down the food, and then kit
jest about to ask why he hadn’t delivered it
Melanie knew he went to Emelie, but he returned so soon. And Emelle’s meal was still with him. She was je
“I’m not hungry. I came to see Ms. Swanson.” Emelie looked at Melanie lying on the bed with bandages wrapped around her left leg unable to move.
“Are you feeling better today, Ms. Swanson?!
Samuel answered on Melanie’s behalf, “The wound doesn’t hurt anymore.” Asserting his authority as her brother, he added, “Melanie, don’t you think you should show your gratitude when someone comes to check on you?”
Melanie pouted. “Thanks for coming, Emelle.”
Emelie smiled gently. “It’s nothing. Just focus on getting better. You’ll be tinesoon.”
Samuel, like a patent admonishing a child, continued, “And? What did I tell you?”
Melanie reluctantly said, “Emelie, I’m sorry for what I said at the bar that day and for pushing you on the path”
It didn’t matter to Emelle whether her apology was sincere or coerced by Samuel. She didn’t hold a grudge against her anyway.
“That’s alright. The most important thing now is for you to recover from your injuries.”
After a snort, Melanie looked at Samuel and made a face, “Are you satisfied now? You’re such a bad guy, preferring other women over your sister.”
Samuel chuckled as he ruffled her head before saying to Emelie, “You should eat here.”
Emelle readily agreed. Melanie also wanted to eat, she didn’t have much appetite initially, but seeing Emelie eating with relish, she found herself inexplicably drawn to the meal.
It was no wonder why people enjoyed watching eating shows. Seeing the streamer enjoy the food could really whet the audience’s appetite.
Emelie downed the last gulp of soup, unaware that her hearty appetite was actually lowering Melanie’s dislike for her. Samuel waited until she finished before saying “Since you’re already here, why don’t you sleep in Melanie’s ward tonight? The bed next to hers hasn’t been used.”
Melanie hesitated, “I don’t want to share a ward with her.”
Emelie didn’t want to impose. “It’s okay. I’ll go back to my own ward.”
It was getting late, so she didn’t want to bother Melanie anymore and returned to her own ward.
Melanie muttered, “She’s in the same ward as Will Why is she so eager to go back? Are they together again?
“Whatever, Will doesn’t like me anyway. They can do whatever they want, but I’ll never accept her being with you.”
Duce Melanie was done grumbling, Samuel only stayed silent. She then turned to find her usually gentle brother with an icy expression. Startled, she quickly burrowed under the rowers and dared not speak again.
In another ward, William was on the phone with Lyle. “Release Reggie tomorrow.”
He wanted to put out a show for Eipelir
