When they arrived at the hospital Vicky was there waiting for Joshua.“Oh, Joshua!” exclaimed his mother.“Mother,” said Joshua.“Oh, son, are you okay?” she asked.“I’m fine.”Vicky looked at Emily and said, “Are you okay too?”Emily nodded her head. “Yes. I’m fine.”“Well, that’s good,” cried Vicky.“Mother, why are you crying.”“It’s just that, you know…”Joshua chuckled.“Oh, come on, Vicky, he’s a strong and fine fellow he will be fine,” said Mr. Watson, patting Vicky on the back.“Yes. I know. It’s just that after I lost my husband, he was all that I had. All through the struggle and hardship he gave me hope. That’s all,” said Vicky, wiping her tears.“Struggle? Hardship?” thought Emily. She didn’t know that Joshua lived a hard life. She thought that he was born quite well off. Is that not what the rumors were all about.“I know. I know what it’s like to raise your kid all on your own. The sacrifice. The undying love and care we have for them. What we could never express enough
NEXT FOLLOWING MORNINGIt was seven thirty in the morning when Joshua heard the voices of the outside their door.Joshua groaned as he stretched.Emily stirred to the sound of his noise.Joshua yawn loudly and asked, “What time is it?”Emily looked at the clock. “It’s half past seven. Nearly eight o’clock soon.”“Oh, shift change, huh?”“Yeah, I guess so.”Joshua turned around to look at Emily and grinned at her and said, “How was your sleep?”“Um, I’m good.”“You slept like a baby last night.”Emily scoffed and said, “You mean you slept like one. You’re the one who knocked out the moment your head hit the pillow.”“Oh, did I?”“Yes.”“Funny, I thought you slept first.”“Yeah right. You were the one snoring away over there.”“So, should I come over there to help you get some more sleep?”Emily gasped. “Don’t you dare. There are people around now.”“So? If there’s no one we can do it?”“No-No.”Joshua chuckled loudly.“Keep your hands to yourself.”“I can’t help it. I see you and I wan
“Well?” asked Beatrice. “Auntie- Auntie, it’s not what you think,” stumbled Emily. “Miss Miller, if you may please-” said Joshua. Beatrice sighs. “It looks like you’re doing well.” She turned her head to where she was looking at both of them. “The both of you two,” she said, with a scowling look. “Oh, um… I guess you could say that,” said Joshua. “I just spoke to the doctors. It looks like your bloodwork is good, so you will be discharged first thing this morning,” said Beatrice, tilting Emily’s head sideways and up and down. “Oh, that’s good news.” “Yes. Good news indeed. It’s best if you can come home soon so you can take better rest there. Not to mention more care.” “Alright.” “Not only that but it will keep your grandfather’s mind at rest instead of having me called you every two hours checking up on your status here in the hospital. “Every two hours?” asked Emily, with her eyes widened. “Yes. Why? Did something happened?” “No,” blushed Emily. “Nothing happened.” Be
Joshua was also getting dressed and ready to go. Emily was already in the lobby awaiting her discharged paper.Beatrice was getting some of the aftercare paperwork.“You ready to go?” asked Joshua. “Yes.”“Promise that you will see me later?”Emily nodded her head. “I will.” “I’m going to the bathroom, if you’re gone before me, remember to meet me at the coffee shop.”“Okay.”Joshua kissed her on the cheek and departed. As Joshua went into the bathroom Megan came walking out of the elevator.“Oh,” said Megan.Emily frowned at her.“Humph. I heard that you get to stay with Joshua in the same ER room.”“Oh, how did you know?”“I got my sources.”“Then I guess I better seek out that leak and get him or her fired.”“Go ahead, you won’t find out.”“Watch me.”Megan huffed. “Just because you have money now doesn’t mean you can bully me.”Emily crossed her arms together and said, “Whose bullying who?”“You-” huffed Megan. “Ha. Just because your rich don’t think that Joshua is showing you
“You’re not the one I love. And you know it. You know that I never felt anything for you.” Joshua ran after Emily.When Emily got downstairs her family car was already waiting for her, she got in hearing Joshua calling out her name. Ignoring him, she closed the door. “Drive,” said Emily to the driver.“Yes, ma’am,” said the driver.Beatrice looked at Emily as she was near breaking down. She sighs and says to herself, “I really need to get to the bottom of this. I need to figure out what is going on between you two. What’s the truth and what’s the lie.”Emily looked away from her aunt as she could feel her aunt's intense gaze.Beatrice scoffed, “I don’t know what is up with you two anymore. At one point it seems you two are cute and cuddly and at one point you two are having so much hatred for each other. Love… it’s such an unbeatable feeling.” She sighs. “Good thing I am not going through what you two are going. What a headache it would be.”“Emily!” shouted Joshua, running after the
Joshua was waiting at the coffee shop where they were supposed to meet. Every single time the door opens or closes he hopes that it was Emily. However, she didn’t show up. Lunchtime passed and she still wasn’t there. He waited all day for her at that same table, waiting for her.“Young Master MacClare, are you sure she will show up?”“Yes. I’m sure of it.”Butler Shawn was worried that Emily probably wouldn’t come. Especially after what he told him about Emily and Megan. He’s afraid that Megan might have said something to Emily and caused a misunderstanding.“She will come. I’m sure she will. She always keeps her word no matter what happens,” said Joshua, crossing his legs.“Alright,” sighed Butler Shawn.“You can leave. I will call you when I need something.”Butler Shawn nodded his head and left the coffee shop. “She will show up. And when she does, I will explain to her the misunderstanding,” thought Joshua.The evening came and Emily wasn’t there. “Young Master MacClare it’s alr
…Let us meet and fall in love without any hidden identity or secrets. Let us love each other like a normal couple would.”ONE WEEK WENT ON BY“Still no contact?” asked Joshua, looking at Butler Shawn.“No, Young Master MacClare, I’m afraid not.”“Well then,” said Joshua, standing up from his chair. “it’s time for some more aggressive chasing.”“Pardon?”“It’s time to go and meet my wife face to face.”“What?” asked Butler Shawn, shocked at Joshua’s statement.“I said I am going to catch my wife.”“But sir- How?”“I don’t know. Waiting outside the office building, by her car, maybe outside her house, looking like a stalker.”“But- But Young Master MacClare you will scare Ms. Watson.”“Then so be it. For I won’t let my marriage go for no misunderstanding.”“What- Are you- Are you mad?”“Yes. I am beyond mad now.”“But- But you will be seen as a predatory.”“So? I’m already a predator the moment I knew my prey left me. Left me in the dark and blinded. Making me look like an idiot and a f
Joshua walked over to Emily’s car and turned her car off. As he turned off the ignition, he took her keys. “Joshua, what the hell! Give me my keys back.” Emily was trying to grab hold of her keys, but Joshua was waving them above him. “Not yet.” “Joshua, give me back my keys.” Joshua grabbed a hold of Emily’s hips and pinned her to the car. “Joshua- We’re in the middle of everyone’s view,” grunted Emily. “Then come with me.” “Fine then. Let go of me.” Joshua smirked and put her keys in his pocket. He turned around and walked towards the flower garden with her hand in his. Emily noticed that they had gone far enough into the flower garden and was trying to free her hand from him. Joshua turned around and looked at her. “We’re nearly there.” Emily frowned as there were some stacks of paper on the patio in the center of the flower garden. She was worried it was some sort of trap and yanked herself free from his grip. “We have come far enough, what is it that you want to talk ab
