Chapter 242 Compliance 
I didn’t take long for Emelie to respond. After a short pause, she said, “Fine.” 
William fixed his gaze on her 
Emelie sneezed. Her voice was here when she said, “Mr. Middleton, do you have to act so surprised? Didn’t you already expect this?” 
Willam responded with a faint hum and said, “I did.” 
Emelle sighed before she immediately asked, “When will the doctors arrive? My mom can only hold on for three more days, at most” 
“make it work since I’ve promised you” Then, with his head resting against his hand, William casually asked, “Can Mrs. Hoven take on another surgery today? 
What do you mean?”” 
If she can handle it, we can get the surgery done today” 

Emelie was stunned at the words. She could tell that something was off. “Didn’t you say that the medical team is from Lablos? 
Willam was liked by her rain–soaked appearance. He scooted to the door and grabbed her wrist to pull her into the car. 
“You know that I have it all within my expectations, so is it that surprising that I’ve brought them here in advance? The doctors and machines arrived in Capebait City three days age, so Mrs. Hoven is free to undergo surgery as long as she can with stand It,” 
The heater in the car was on full blast. The drastic temperature change caused Emeleto shiver. 
“I’m not sure if she’s fit to undergo another surgery today. I’ll love to ask the attending doctor.” Willa glanced at Ashton standing at the door and said, “Get it sorted out.” 
Ashcom nodded and then closed the door. 
Emelie nimed to leave, but Willam held her hand. 
“Go to Eastbay,” he ordered Abel, who responded by starting the engine. 
Previously, Will would only bring Emelie to Eastbay when he was yearning for sex 
Emelie shot him a glare as she held back her rage. “Even though I’ve agreed to return to your side, are you that eager for sex? My mom is still in the ICU. Can’t you show some respect 
William was briefly stunned before he laughed. “Who’s the one having such dirty thoughts?” 
Emelle seethed “Don’t accuse me of anything he that!” 
William calmly explained, “I’m just sending you back for achange of clothes. I’m not that desperate.“” 
Emelie paused before saying. “My apartment is closer than Eastbay. Take me back to my apartment” 

“aty medical team has to take over everything from the current doctor. Even if the surgery can start at once, the arrangements will still take two in three hours. What’s the rush? Walking there will just be a waste of time.” 
e you, who doesn’t even bother to care for your family, can never 
“Staying by my mom’s side, even if it means doing nothing, is never a waste of time. Someone selfish like y understand.” 
William stared at her but surprisingly didn’t retort. 
Emelie had often spent the night at Eastbay, so some of her clothes were already there. 
She wasn’t in the mood for a shower, so she simply changed into a fresh set of clothes before getting ready to leave 
William opened a bottle of wine at the bar and said, “You’ll be staying at Eastbay from today orward.” 
Emelle’s hands paused at the door. She turned to look at him 
William raised the glass to his lips and took a sip. “Just because I don’t want sex today doesn’t mean that won’t want it tomorrow. I’m not going to let you at easy.” Emelie’s grip on the door handle tightened. She then walked out without saying a word. 
She hurried down the stairs and saw Abel waiting. 
“M, Hoven, are you heading back to the hospital? Let me send you there.” 
Emelie took a deep breath and didn’t refuse the offer. “Thank you.” 
“There’s no need to thank me.” Abel held an umbrella over her as she got into theca. 
At the bar, William was finishing his glass of wine when he sensed that something was off 
He usually only drank when he was in a bad mood Bet right now, he was.. feeling great. 
William picked up his phone to call jayden, only to remember that Jayden was still in Wimstour City. So, he called Ellas instead. 
“Do you want to grab a drink?” 
Sure. Westward Club) 
Willam gave a hum in agreement and then hung up the call 
William had chosen the right person to call. Ellas was looking for a drinking buddy too, but it wasn’t because he was in a good mood. It was quite the opposite. 
as would usually turn to jayden with his problems, but his best friend was currently on a business trip in Wintour City. So, when William offered to go out for some drinks, has decided to accept 
“Can you believe how ridiculous Ashley is? is there anyone else who can put up with her besides me? lias ranted, drinking a shot aber each sentence. 
Hontinued, “She hasn’t been home for days, so I went to her law firm. And guess what happened?”
