Emily hurriedly got up and walked toward the balcony.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"I know it was you who came to my house to take care of me last night. Emily, you still love me, don't you?"

Emily was rendered speechless.

She hadn't planned on going in the first place, but thinking of the promise she made to Linda, she couldn't leave until Jake broke up with Helen.

With that in mind, she asked, "And then? What are you trying to say?"

Jake took the initiative to speak. "I haven't been able to get used to life without you around."

Hearing this, Emily sneered. "Didn't you say the campus belle was your true love? With your true love by your side, what exactly are you struggling to adjust to?"

Jake was at a loss for words.

Emily continued, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

"No, don't hang up."

Emily didn't hang up, but she also didn't say anything, waiting for Jake to continue.

After a brief silence, Jake finally spoke. "Emily, whether you believe it or not, Hele

    But the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt."Luke, it's no wonder you're here getting an IV. You knew you can't eat beef, yet you kept stuffing them into your mouth."Emily froze when she heard this.She had thought Luke didn't know about his allergies.But it turned out he was fully aware that he was allergic to those foods.So why did he still eat them?Confused, Emily looked up at Luke.Luke, looking a little guilty, shifted his gaze away. "Liam, how about you give your mouth to someone who really needs it? Don't waste it."Liam was rendered speechless. ‘That bastard.’He walked up to Emily and said, "Emily, let's go. Don't mind Luke. It's his own fault he's in pain."As he said that, he pulled her, trying to leave.Emily sat still.Liam, confused, asked, "Aren't you coming with me?""He... has no one to take care of him.""Who cares whether he lives or dies? He chose to eat it, so he's allergic, it's his fault. Come on, I'll take you to the Sce

    Liam looked at him with a disgusted expression, utterly unimpressed.He had been wondering why he suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom—turns out it was all part of his plan.Liam sneered. "Didn't expect you to be this love-struck.""Get lost, stop disturbing me here."Liam clicked his tongue. "You’re all hoes before bros, Luke, I really misjudged you...""Get lost or I'll stab you with this needle." He sat up straight, clearly ready to jab Liam if he didn't leave.Liam, still disgusted, stretched lazily, mocking, "Alright, I see you're not just love-struck. You are a criminal inside, too!"When Emily finished handling the admission process, she didn't see Liam and asked casually, "Where's Liam?"Luke's gaze darkened as he replied indifferently, "He went to find a girlfriend.""Oh, I still need to talk to him about something.""What's there to talk about with him?"Emily noticed the tone in his voice wasn't great, so she didn't ask further.She looked at the medicine bottle

    Liam was stunned. "Girlfriend? Who said I have a girlfriend?"Emily instinctively looked at Luke.Liam immediately puffed out his chest and said angrily, "Luke, you're spreading rumors again. When did I ever have a girlfriend?"Luke glanced at him and said casually, "So she’s a friend with benefits then?"If killing wasn't a crime, Liam would've strangled Luke, that bastard, right there.He turned to Emily and smiled. "It's not true. Don't listen to Luke, I'm still single."Emily's lips twitched.She didn't quite believe it.Liam glanced at Luke. "Aren't we friends anymore? Clarify this for me!"Luke raised his head. "Clarify what?"Liam was getting agitated. "I'm single!"Luke replied casually, "Oh, you're single, that doesn't stop you from hooking up."Liam was rendered speechless.Emily looked at Luke. "What auction? Do you need a partner?"Before Emily could speak, Liam had already started explaining excitedly.Finally, Emily caught the main point.It was Luke's wel

    When his gaze landed on Emily, his eyes paused for a moment before quickly shifting away.Emily didn't expect such a reaction from Luke. She lowered her head and looked at her outfit for the day, muttering to herself, "Does it not look good?"Luke didn't look at her but said casually, "It's fine."Emily couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.His attitude clearly implied that she didn't look good today.Emily turned to look at Liam. "Does it not look good?"Liam shook his head. "No, it looks amazing."He then turned to Luke. "Luke, take another look. Emily is stunning today."With Liam's words, Luke unconsciously raised his eyes.Emily was wearing a slim-fit dress, with the hem of the dress reaching just above her ankles, exposing her fair and slender ankles.She usually looked small and slender, but her figure was surprisingly curvy, especially that little waist. Luke thought he could easily hold it with one hand.Emily stared straight at him and noticed his ears

    But since the man in front of him was a business partner, Jake didn't show his irritation too obviously and simply smiled while exchanging pleasantries.After managing to send the person away, he raised his eyes and noticed that Emily was no longer there.Jake scanned the auction venue but couldn't see her."Jake, what are you looking at?"Daniel walked over."Where is she? Where did she go?""She's sitting in the front. The auction is about to start, hurry up, let's go."With that, Daniel pulled Jake toward their seats.The auction began.Emily sat beside Liam.Luke, the main character of the day, wasn't sitting with them but was preparing for his opening speech.Liam leaned over and whispered, "Emily, tell me what you like, I'll buy it for you. Today's auction has more than just jewelry, there are many other things too."Emily shook her head.She didn't really want anything, she was just here to make up the numbers.Seeing this, Liam reached out and knocked on her foreh

    Last year, her mother had sold the Rose Garden at a low price under the pretext of medical expenses. Unexpectedly, it had made its way back here."1.2 million.""1.6 million.""Rose Garden, 1.6 million, going once.""2 million."As the price continued to rise, Emily's hands, which were resting on her lap, clenched tighter.Luke, who had been sulking, noticed her change in demeanor. His crimson lips parted involuntarily. "What's wrong?"Emily's hands tightened and then loosened again.She just glanced at Luke indifferently, not saying anything.Seeing that she was ignoring him again, Luke's tone turned cooler."You little girl. Where are your manners? I’m talking to you."Emily lifted her eyes.Luke finally saw her slightly reddened eyes.He wasn't afraid of anything, except when children cried.When they cried, it was like a dam had broken, and it couldn't be stopped."Why are you crying? Don't cry, you've got such nice makeup on today, it'll look bad if you cry and ruin

    Emily didn't like such occasions, so she found an excuse to go to the restroom.After coming out of the restroom, Emily was hesitating whether to send a message to Luke when a hand suddenly pulled her into the stairwell.Emily was startled, and upon seeing the man in front of her, she froze.It was Jake.What the hell did this madman want?Jake reeked of alcohol, clearly having drunk quite a bit.Emily felt uneasy under his unblinking gaze and couldn't help but feel a bit scared.She instinctively took two steps toward the nearby door.In the next second, Jake suddenly stepped closer, staring at her. "Are you with Liam?"Emily was taken aback.Jake misunderstood.But she didn't want to explain too much, thinking if he wanted to misunderstand, then let him. It didn't matter."It's none of your business who I'm with."Jake tugged at his tie in irritation, "I told you, I'm not used to you being gone. I miss you."Emily sneered. "So?"Jake got straight to the point. "Come ba

    Jake looked up, his cheek pressed against Emily's, and whispered in her ear, "I'm waiting for the day you come to beg me. By then, I won't be so easy to talk to."Emily's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pushed him away."Jake, you're a madman."Jake chuckled softly. "Emily, we've known each other for three years, haven't you already figured out what kind of person I am? It was you who approached me first, wasn't it?"Emily trembled with anger, biting her lips tightly.Jake continued, "So what if you're hooking up with Liam? Liam is famous for being a playboy, and being with him is no better than being with me.""Bullshit."Emily couldn't hold back her curse.Jake paused for a moment, but the smile in his eyes only grew deeper."Emily, you really surprise me now."In the past three years, Emily had been very kind to him—so kind that it didn't seem like the behavior of a normal person, more like a robot following a set script.Now, Jake suddenly realized that the woman b

    "So, Wendy, what brings you here? Could it be that you're here to get back together with me? I'm so sorry, but we've already broken up. By the way, you look really ugly right now." Gary's voice was filled with mockery and disdain.Wendy's body trembled with anger and her face was pale.She had never been so mad at a man in her life.She took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself down, but her heart was still pounding quicker and quicker. It was as if her heart was going to explode.Wendy closed her eyes as she forced herself to remain calm.When she opened them again, her eyes looked completely calm."Yes, you're right. We've already broken up." Wendy's voice was cold and firm.She sounded like she didn't care.Gary was a little taken aback. He didn't expect Wendy to admit so easily that they had broken up.He thought Wendy would continue to make a fuss or beg him to get back together with her. After all, Wendy was the person who pursued him to begin with.However, only

    Emily yelled, "Wendy, where are you going?"Wendy was hurriedly putting on her shoes. She gritted her teeth and replied, "Going to find that heartless scumbag and settle things."Emily, hearing this, quickly stretched out her arms to block her. "It's pitch dark outside, and you've just been discharged from the hospital. Your leg is still not fully healed—why are you going to find him?"Wendy paused as if suddenly realizing something. "You are right. My leg hasn't recovered yet."With that, her gaze intensified, falling on Emily."Emily, you should come with me! You'll beat him up for me when we get there."Emily looked at her helplessly, "Wendy, don't be so impulsive! We can talk this through calmly."Wendy widened her eyes in anger, grumbling, "No way! That guy is a jerk, I must go and settle the score with him!"Emily quickly tried to calm her down. "Alright, alright, let's just calm down first."Wendy was unamused. "Calm down my ass.

    "Then why haven't you broken up yet?""I’m waiting for the right opportunity?"Emily paused. "Has the opportunity come now?"Wendy nodded. "It should be coming soon."Just as she finished speaking, Wendy's phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw a new message notification flashing on the screen.She gently tapped the screen, and a conversation window popped up showing a breakup message from Gary.Her brows slightly furrowed, but the corner of her mouth lifted into a barely noticeable smile as she said softly, "And here it is."Then, she handed the phone to Emily, who was sitting beside her, and smiled. "Take a look, he’s a true scumbag. Says he has no feelings anymore."Emily took the phone, glanced at the message, and a hint of disgust appeared on her face as she said, "I didn't have a good impression of him that day either."Wendy looked at Emily curiously and asked, "What happened?"Emily then told Wendy exactly what had happened that day.When Wendy heard it, she imm

    The day Wendy was discharged from the hospital, it was Emily who went to the hospital to help her with the discharge paperwork.As for her little boyfriend, Wendy said they had fought again and he had started playing hide-and-seek.Emily was a little speechless but didn't say anything.After leaving the hospital, Wendy suggested going shopping to help her buy some daily necessities.The two of them went directly to the supermarket. After buying what they needed, they took a taxi to Emily's small apartment.Wendy sat in the living room, surveying the room's environment. Looking at Emily who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, she said, "Emily, your place is too cramped. There’s no space to move around if there are two nore people in here."Emily responded while washing the vegetables, "I think it's quite nice. Besides, it's close to several companies I applied to.""You've started looking for a job?"Emily nodded. "Yes, but I haven't found one yet."As soon as she finished s

    Emily found herself both amused and helpless. Half-joking, she said, "I guess I'll have to keep my distance from you from now on.""You don't need to.""I'm afraid you'll get triggered and punch me."Luke immediately became displeased. "Emily, are you asking for trouble?"Emily chuckled. "You see..."Luke remained silent for several seconds before saying, "Don't worry. I won't punch you."Emily paused but didn't respond.Luke continued, "Now that you know all my embarrassing stories, shouldn't you tell me some of yours in return?"Emily was slightly stunned. "Me?"Luke responded, waiting for Emily to continue.Emily opened her mouth, "I don't have anything to say.""I've shared my story with you. Are you not going to share? Isn't that a little inappropriate?"Emily was a little speechless. "You're the one who wanted to tell the story, not me..."Before she could finish, Luke interrupted, "Who said I wanted to listen? I'm just curious."Emily muttered under her breath, "Wh

    Emily lowered her eyes, fell silent for a moment, then quickly denied, "No, it's just that I misunderstood."There was a slight pause on the other end, and his tone became heavier. "Then which of my actions made you come to that misunderstanding?"Emily felt a wave of embarrassment, staying silent for a while, then explained in a soft voice, "The last time at Jake's house, I overheard what Liam said, that's why I misunderstood.""Is there another reason?""Also, when you helped me put on the band-aid at your grandmother's house."As she spoke, Emily's voice grew softer, almost like the hum of a mosquito.Luke suddenly chuckled.Emily felt both embarrassed and angry, clutching the phone tightly, secretly annoyed in her heart.She didn't need to think to know that the man on the other end was probably mocking her stupidity and childishness."Well, Emily, you really are..."Before Luke could finish his sentence, Emily impatiently interrupted/ "Okay, no need to say more, I unders

    Emily carefully looked at the address on the package, it was indeed hers, and the name was also hers.She gently opened the bag, and the aroma of beef and tomatoes filled her nose.Suddenly, her phone on the table vibrated. Feeling a little suspicious, Emily walked over and picked it up.It was a call from Luke.She froze for a moment before pressing the answer button. "Hello?"As soon as she spoke, a deep, magnetic voice from the other end of the line came through. "Did you get it?"Emily, still in a daze, replied in confusion, "What?""I knew you'd get so caught up in things that you'd forget to eat, so I ordered takeaway for you."Only then did Emily realize what Luke was talking about. "So it was you who ordered it?""Yeah, surprised?""How did you know the address?""I helped you move, of course I knew."Emily hadn't expected that he had specifically asked for her full address. She tightened her grip on the phone, her heart suddenly racing uncontrollably.She tried to

    Emily was a little surprised, as if she had heard something unbelievable. "Are you guys going to help me move my luggage to my house?""What else?"Emily awkwardly smiled and quickly led them towards the elevator.She rented a place on the 19th floor. Although the environment downstairs was a bit shabby, the apartment inside was filled with a warm atmosphere. The simple one-bedroom apartment felt like a cozy little nest, just the right size to contain her dreams and hopes.However, for the two men who were both over 5.9 feet in height, the space in here was a bit small. Just by standing in the living room, even Emily felt a little crowded, as if the room was struggling to breathe."Emily, your place is too small,""I live alone, it's not small.""Well, it'll be inconvenient for me to visit in the future."Emily's lips twitched.She thought to herself, ‘I don’t think I’ve ever invited you.’With that, she turned to look at Luke.Since entering, Luke had said nothing, wanderin

    Helen choked on her words, her voice intermittent. "I... I don't want money."Liam spoke without mercy. "You don't want money? Do you want to get beaten again? Be smart. Take the money and go to a hospital."After that, he left one of his business cards and sternly warned her. "If you don't have enough money, contact me. And by the way, I'll remind you, my friend's temper is like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode. Don't mess with him."Upon hearing this, Helen nervously raised her eyes to look at Luke.When their eyes met and she saw the cold, murderous look in his gaze, she recoiled, like a frightened rabbit, and began to sob softly.Liam shook his head helplessly and walked in front of Luke, trying to persuade him earnestly. "Luke, why are you so impulsive?"Luke's face remained as dark as ever. He said nothing, took off his expensive jacket, and threw it into the nearby bin as if it were garbage. He then strode toward the car park.Liam glanced at the discarded jacket wit
