Chapter 226 I Can Take You to See a Show
Samuel sent Emelie the data they collected at Blossom Clove on Blossom Heights. The following day, Emelie organized the data while receiving her IV drip.
Her injured hand regained mobility, so she managed to work quite efficiently Whenever she got into work mode, she would tend to forget about everything else.
When she finally finished, she noticed that the TV drip was empty. A nurse came to remove the needle.
Emelie caught a glimpse of the name of the medication on the IV bag, which was different from what she had received a few days ago. She grew suspicious and discreetly snapped. aphoto of the label with her phone.
At lunchtime, Samuel said he couldn’t come back to bring her food as promised. He suggested ordering takeout for her, but Emelie insisted she could go downstairs herself to find something to eat and told him not to bother..
It was already noon. After a stretch, Emelie got out of bed, put on her coat, and prepared to find something to eat.
William looked up from his computer. “Bring something for me, too. As a token of appreciation, I can take you to see a show this afternoon.”
“I’ll probably forget, so why don’t you ask Ms. Jones to do it for you?” Emelie put on a fake smile, showing no interest in the “show” be mentioned. She simply walked away.
William leaned back against the head of his bed. The weather was nice. The sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating a hint of scheming in his eyes,
Emelie left the hospital and found a small store nearby, where she ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup. While waiting, she searched online for the name of the medication she had photographed to check for its effects.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about suddenly being prescribed two extra days in the hospital.
Her suspicion turned out to be correct. The search results showed that the medication was a calcium supplement.
Emelie didn’t believe that the doctor would be so considerate as to prescribe additional treatment to improve her health. Obviously someone orchestrated a scheme to keep her in the hospital for an extra two days by colluding with the doctor.
And as for who that person was, well, that was not hard to figure out. Emelle felt angry and put down her phone. She finished her soup quickly, then returned to the hospital with a cold expression.
William! When would he stop manipulating her at his whim?
The ward door was closed, but Emelie pushed it open nonetheless. To her surprise, she found William out of bed, having even changed out of his hospital gown.
He was clad in a form–fitting turtleneck sweater, paired with impeccably pressed trousers and polished leather shoes. In his hands, he held a meticulously crafted cashmere suit jacket.
In the time it took her to finish a meal, William had transformed from acritically injured patient unable to care for himself back into the unapproachable CED
Emelie was stunned for a moment, but before she could speak, be cut in, “Wow, you really didn’t bring me lunch,
Emelle looked at him and asked, “Did you ask the doctor to extend my hospital stay for two more days?”
Ignoring her question, William said, “Although you didn’t bring me lunch, Tcan still take you to see a show.”
“I don’t want to see any shows!”
ne with me.”
“Change your clothes and come
“I said I don’t want to-
“You will” William turned back. His dark eyes gazed gently Into hers. The show is at Blossom Clove.”
Perhaps it was his overly confident tone, or maybe it was the mention of Blossom Clove that made Emelie suddenly curious about what he was really up to. On the table lay the clothes Ashton had sent for her to change into. Emehe picked them up and headed into the bathroom.
When Emelie emerged after changing, William had vanished from the ward, leaving only Ashton. She rubbed her nose awkwardly and said, “Ms. Howen, Mr. Middleton has already Jeft.”
Emelie then went downstairs. The car was parked at the hospital entrance. The moment she got into the back seat, she put some distance between herself and William.
In the spacious car, Willam lounged with one leg crossed over the other while propping his forehead up with one hand. There was a smirk at the corners of his mouth. This made Emelie feel that this journey with him might really reveal something.
The car indeed headed toward Blossom Clove. With the villagers having evacuated, the construction progress was remarkably swift. Just one day later, most of the residential buildings had already been demolished.
They drove by slowly, and outside the window lay a scene of utter devastation. It starkly contrasted with the images they had seen during their inspection just two days prior. The sight left Emelle ferling disoriented. And that feeling peaked when she saw Samuel standing amidst the rubble. His foot was on Reggie’s cheek, and his profile was solemn
