The prolonged fever caused Emily to be unconscious for several hours. When she woke up, the clock struck one o'clock in the afternoon.Suddenly remembering that it was almost time for her appointment to register her marriage with Daniel, she quickly crawled out of bed, took the medicine that was still on the table, and drank it to stop the fever. Then she put the cake in her mouth so her stomach wouldn't hurt because it was past lunchtime.“My head hurts.”Emily groaned as she reached for her phone. This afternoon, at any cost, she had to say goodbye to Daniel, but she still couldn't think of a reason.She never wanted to hurt him. She wanted to bring him happiness and warmth but in the end, she hurt him severely.“Venn? Why does he call me so much? Could it be that something happened to Kevin?”Emily was bewildered when she saw so many missed calls from Venn. Just now, before falling asleep, she put her phone on silent mode so she didn't know he was calling, otherwise the ringing wou
The stream of people coming to visit the funeral grew larger and larger. Many people also know that Daniel was one of the two victims in that car.But before they approached the coffin, Brian and the Wine Company staff asked everyone not to say anything because James's sudden death had exhausted Emily.Emily knelt motionless, her lifeless eyes staring into space. Sometimes, she did not even show any signs of responding to condolences from visitors.Fortunately, at this time, some of her father's relatives were present and sent their thanks on her behalf.“Emily, come inside and drink some milk. If you keep like this, how can you afford to take care of your father's funeral?” Brian bent down close to her, gently advising her.“That's right, Emily, don't make your father sad anymore, let him rest in peace.” One of her biological aunts spoke up.She didn't answer but didn't protest either. She let Brian help her stand up, followed him into a corner, took the carton of milk in his hand, a
Finally, the day to send Daniel to his resting place arrived. Since last night, it has been raining and has continued until morning with no signs of stopping.All night long, Emily didn't sleep a wink. The images of the tragic accident on social networks haunted her endlessly.Her heart felt like it was being chopped into many pieces when thinking about the severe injuries on the bodies of the two men she loved with all her heart.“Brian, Brian...” Emily called out to the man who was falling asleep next to her bed.She understood that Brian was very tired because he had to constantly stay awake, take care of her father's funeral, and take care of her. However, this time, she had to bother him again.She wanted to see Daniel one last time, wanted to light incense for him, and wanted to say sorry to him. Perhaps at the moment of his death, he wanted to see her.“Uh, do you want to drink water or go to the bathroom?” Brian sat up, rubbed his eyes a few times, and asked.“Please take me t
“You still know the way back, huh? Neglecting the company just because of a girl.” Kent slammed his hand on the desk and shouted.“I'm sorry, dad.”Brian just replied briefly and bowed his head. James's sudden death made him somewhat afraid, afraid that at some point, he would suddenly lose this father too. Therefore, he won't say much, won't make excuses, or argue with his father.Looking at his son's appearance, Kent couldn't be angry anymore. Brian hung out at the funeral home and the hospital for only a few days, but he was no different from the homeless uncles sitting under the bridge.His beard grew all over his chin, his eyes were as deep as a well, he also had dark circles like a panda, and his body was so skinny that he was about to be blown away by the wind.“Go home and look in the mirror. By the way, stop by my study room to pick up the stack of documents I left on my desk. There's a shareholder meeting this afternoon.” Kent threw the room key at Brian, frowned, and said.
When Kevin returned to his office, the phone in his pocket vibrated. The person calling is Venn.Today, Venn should have sat next to Kevin in an important meeting, but because Kevin assigned him an even more important task, he was absent.“Boss, Miss Emily is home. I was late so Brian took her home. He also bought all the food and drinks for her.” Venn's voice was a bit hesitant.“Alright, go back to the company.”While Venn returned to the corporation, Kevin left the office and drove straight to Emily's house.From Brian's actions, Kevin could feel that the feelings he had for her were more than just friends or acquaintances.However, it seems that Brian's feelings for her are even more tolerant than he and his younger brother. Brian didn't bother her when he knew she was dating someone else but appeared promptly by her side when she needed a shoulder.If he didn't make a decision quickly, he was afraid she would be weak and fall into Brian's arms the same way she fell into Daniel's
When dawn came, it was time for Emily to leave the house and go to the Wine Company. This morning, she planned to go to the cemetery herself, but when she received a call from Irene, she had to change direction.She knew she couldn't hide forever. She must be responsible for what her father caused.Wine Company is a one-member limited liability company and her father is the only person named on the business license, with no shareholders at all.A heavy atmosphere enveloped the meeting room. Emily silently listened to the departments reporting the company's current situation.As soon as the news that the deputy general director of Unicons Group passed away was widely posted in electronic articles, banks also turned against the Wine Company.They sent a document requesting payment of overdue debt and announced that they would sue in court early next week.“Orders are still under production and partners are urging us. They said if we don't deliver the goods to them on time, they will can
After Ryan left, there were only Kevin and Emily left in the home. He sat beside the bed, holding her thin hand, his eyes never leaving her haggard face.Everything that just happened was too much for a fragile girl like her to bear. She is lively, cheerful, and enthusiastic in pursuing him, but she is not a strong girl, good at controlling her emotions like Emma.“Emily, I'm so sorry for letting us get to this point. I... I don't know what to do anymore.”After sighing, he laid his head down and then gradually fell asleep. Since the night he shared a bed with her, he hasn't had a good night's sleep.Events continued to happen, causing him to almost collapse. However, responsibility successfully pulled him back, forcing him to stand firmly on his tired feet.At midnight, the rain stopped falling and stopped lulling Emily to sleep. She slowly opened her eyes, stared at the ceiling, and then looked next to her, where a man was sleeping soundly.The dim light of the table lamp was not en
When sunset came over the city again, the plane carrying Brian landed on the runway.The work at the foreign branch had been handled smoothly, so the young deputy general director's mood also lightened a bit.However, the moment he turned on his phone and saw the message from his doctor friend, his heart suddenly sank.As soon as he left the plane, he quickly walked to the parking lot. The doctor made an appointment for him to go to a small cafe on the main road to get the results of the DNA test.These past few days, his mind was only focused on work and meetings to find solutions and troubleshoot, so he forgot about this important matter.“Take a look.” The doctor gave him the results and said.Brian quickly took it and read it quickly with his eyes. And when he saw the analysis results and the conclusion confirming that he and that girl were related by blood as brother and sister, he almost collapsed.His hand unconsciously tightened, causing the thin stack of papers to become wrin
By the time the couple arrived at the police station, Reid's statement had already been taken and superiors were also preparing an arrest warrant for Jennifer.From Reid's testimony, they discovered that he and Jennifer did not just do bad things once.The chandelier fell, aphrodisiacs were added to the wine at the year-end party, and the video was sent to Daniel moments before the accident.After giving her testimony and signing the report, Emily staggered out of the police station. Every time Kevin touched her hand to try to support her, she immediately pushed his hand away.Everyone, including her, could guess the reason why someone who was extremely careful in traffic like Daniel suddenly lost control of the steering wheel and crashed into the median.“Emily, don't hate me, neither of us wants that.” Kevin hugged her from behind, speaking in pain.“You also think like me, right? We, you and I, are the cause of Daniel's death.” Emily said in tears and tried her best to escape his a
After another week, Kevin felt secure in leaving Emily at home. His mother generously sent her housekeeper, Mary, and a young girl to his house.They know how to drive and are familiar with every corner of this city. The important thing is that they are not married, and have no daughter, younger sister, or older sister.“Tomorrow, I'll take you home to visit my parents. Don't worry about anything.” Kevin reached out and gently pinched his wife's cheek and spoke.“Yes.”Emily nodded and continued to eat breakfast. Kevin always ate faster than her and left the table before her.Maybe it was because he had to go to the company, and she was at home, with nothing urgent to handle.While eating, she thought about what gift to give her mother-in-law. Although Jessica doesn't lack anything, she shouldn't go there with empty hands.When Emily went back upstairs, put on makeup, and changed clothes, the phone rang. She saw a strange phone number, but she still picked it up.On the other end of t
At first, Kevin planned to run to Lisa's residence, but thought again and again, in the end, he called Venn and told him to call two more people to bring her back here so he could interrogate her.His wife had just donated bone marrow, so he couldn't leave her alone at home, and he didn't feel secure if he took her with him.“Emily, sit down here and I'll slowly explain to you. I swear, nothing has happened between me and Lisa that violates morality, and my heart has no room for her, it's all for you.”Witnessing his drastic actions, Emily had a bit of trust so she obediently let him help her sit down.Kevin pointed to the photo at the airport and confirmed that those were his legs and that he pulled Lisa's suitcase because her legs were injured after saving him from a terrible accident.“You never told me about the accident.” Emily spoke up indignantly.“I'm afraid you'll worry. During those days, I was in so much pain that my face was distorted and I didn't have the strength to have
Each day passed quietly, the day after tomorrow was the day of surgery and tomorrow, Emily had to be hospitalized to prepare for surgery with Brian.To be honest, she was very worried. She wasn't worried about herself because the doctor had assured her that she wouldn't be in pain, but she was worried about Brian's probability of success.She knows that even though surgeries are guaranteed, there will still be small mistakes that can happen.Since the night Kevin refused to take Daisy away, Emily saw that Daisy's eyes seemed to be avoiding her, but she didn't care much.“What time will you leave tomorrow?” Kevin asked while patting her back to soothe her to sleep because he saw her tossing and turning.“I'll start leaving at seven o'clock in the morning, I'll have time to kiss you good morning.” She replied lazily.“Yes, if you're gone for a few days, you'll make up for it for me to have sex multiple times in a row in one night, okay?” He blew gently into her ear, teasing her.“Perver
When the party ended, Kevin's face was red from the alcohol. Emily only took a sip of wine at the beginning of the party so she was still alert and could drive him home.All the way home, he closed his eyes and didn't say a word, but as soon as she helped him back to the bedroom, he pushed her down on the bed and kissed her frantically.“Are you jealous, Emily?” He asked when the long kiss had just ended.“No.” She took a breath and replied.“You said you were afraid I would mistake my wife for another woman. Emily, you were so harsh just now. Tell me, am I right or wrong now?”Before Emily could answer, he leaned down again and continued to kiss her. His nimble hands took off the seductive dress from her body and the suit from his body, quickly becoming one with her.One sleepless night, in the morning, when the alarm clock rang for the third time, both of them still did not want to open their eyes.It wasn't until Sara called, reminding Kevin about this morning's meeting that he laz
By the time Kevin got home, it was nine o'clock. Seeing Emily sitting and swinging on the swing, he immediately walked over, placed the rose bouquet in her lap, and sat down in front of her, looking at her beautiful but expressionless face.“Last night I worked too late and fell asleep. My phone ran out of battery so I didn't know you called. I'm sorry.” He gently stroked her hair, speaking in a low voice.“After this, I won't call you anymore.” She put the bouquet aside and spoke indifferently.“Don't, Emily, if you don't care about me, who will care about me?”Kevin reached out and hugged Emily's waist, resting his head in her lap.She is his stop after a day of traveling outside. If she ignores him, how will he have the energy to work?Today, meeting Emma, the feeling of guilt towards Daniel deep in his heart has eased.He also wanted to tell his wife about it to make her feel more comfortable, but the words that Daniel told Emma stopped him.“In a few days, when I receive notice
After a good night's sleep, Kevin woke up and reflexively reached out to look for his wife to hug, but the space next to him helped him remember what happened last night, and quickly opened his eyes.His wife was not lying next to him, she sat close to the edge of the bed, leaning her head against the wall, her eyes still closed.Kevin slowly approached, his trembling hand raised to touch her face, but then he quickly withdrew his hand and left the bed, preparing to go to the company.Although Emily could hear and know every move of her husband, she still sat still, pretending to be asleep.It wasn't until she was sure that the man had left the room that she opened her eyes, dragged her aching body into the bathroom, and washed away what belonged to him clinging to her body.Next, she went to the pharmacy near her house to buy birth control pills.Right now, she can't let herself get pregnant. She didn't want the baby to become the reason for her and him to be entangled when his love
This incident was quite complicated so the deputy head of the IT department and technicians could not handle it.The person who is the best and can restore the system, the department head, is on his way here.Yesterday, he asked for leave to return to his hometown, but this afternoon he had to drive back to the city.Although the distance between the two places is not too far, it still takes an hour to enter the city. Not to mention the city's traffic jams are terrible at this time.“He said it would take about half an hour to get into the city.” A technician spoke up after ending the call with the head of the IT department.Knowing that standing here and waiting wouldn't bring any results, Kevin took Emily back to his office and had dinner with her.Fortunately, she was here to eat with him, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to swallow it.“Everything will be okay.” Emily picked up a piece of meat, placed it in her husband's rice bowl, and said.“I know, I'm just afraid
At precisely three o'clock in the afternoon, Emily took a taxi to the city cemetery. White chrysanthemums are always the flowers she chooses to place on the graves of the deceased.After chatting in front of her parents' grave, she sat next to Daniel's grave, leaned her head on it, and closed her eyes.She wanted to tell him that he had entrusted her to the wrong person, but she couldn't.He didn't know and she couldn't blame him. He always wanted to give her the best things.She could no longer lean on that person's shoulder, so she had to come here to find some comfort.Until after five o'clock in the afternoon, Emily was still sitting in the cemetery, the wind blew gently and the quiet space made her fall asleep without knowing it.When she felt a hand patting her shoulder and heard a deep voice calling her, she suddenly woke up.“Have you been here long? How dare you sleep in a cemetery like this?” Kevin frowned at her but his voice was very gentle.Emily didn't answer, she held h
