“Master….” Bai-Min and Lai-Li called in unison as they saw their master spitting yet another mouthful of blood. They had just finished the little girl’s treatment and were regulating their internal energy when they heard their master coughing with a mouthful of blood. However, both of them were shocked by the amount of blood on the floor.They rushed out to their master’s side, but he had already fainted. Neither knew what had happened. Why would their master who was perfectly fine, who was sitting quietly supervising them, vomit blood? However now was not the time to get to the bottom of the puzzle. The priority now was to get master to the healing spring that was rich in spiritual energy.Bai-Min carried master and rushed to the healing spring without delay while Lai-Li bought the little girl out to the room where her parents were anxiously waiting.“We have expelled the poison, but she is still weak and vulnerable.” Lai-Li spoke in a calm tone although she was anxious to get back to
Grandpa Holston held the phone with a lost expression; Matthias had never spoken to him with such disrespect, not even when his grandson had tortured Emile so much. Not only did he speak harshly, but he even warned him.“Manuel” Grandpa Holston called out to his old butler without even looking at the time once he came out of his stupor.“Where is that brat?” Grandpa Holston asked as soon as the old butler entered the room “What is he up to now?”“Young master must be busy with his work.” The old butler didn’t know what excitement the old man had suffered to call him out in the middle of the night and answered in a calm tone.“Busy with work… heh!” Grandpa Holston spat out in anger “He must be trying to get me to my grave sooner….” He coughed, choking on his own temper. The old butler hurriedly walked over to massage Grandpa Holston’s chest as he tried to pacify him “Young master loves his grandpa the most… why don’t you calm down and sleep for a while longer?”“I will go and investigat
“Relax…” Carl’s deep soothing voice sounded at just the right time. He stood up and walked closer to Emile and ordered as he looked into her eyes “Sleep…. Don’t think too much. Everything will be fine when you have rested enough.”No one noticed his hands that were drumming the gong in a meditative manner as he approached Emile. Emile’s eyes slowly became dazed as she nodded obediently, her eyes slowly becoming heavier as she laid down to rest. She fell asleep within no time, without struggling or resisting the urge to close her eyes. Carl stood by her bedside drumming with his gong as he signalled Daniel not to speak with his eyes.“Sleep peacefully, your husband will keep watch over you while you sleep.” Carl spoke in a deep, authoritative voice once he felt that Emile was not just asleep but also entered into a trance, “Don’t worry about the events that have passed, don’t worry about the images that are unclear in your head.”“You are both young, you can just create new memories.” C
Emile was discharged from hospital by mid-morning. Daniel took Emile to their manor along the south coastal area. The manor was especially arranged to welcome Daniel and Emile’s arrival with all the servants waiting excitedly in an impressive line-up to welcome their master and his wife. Emile had been in state of confusion since she woke up yesterday; she mechanically followed Daniel from the hospital to the manor. She didn't have any reaction even though Daniel tried to make light conversation throughout the car ride from the hospital to manor. She kept staring blankly at the changing scenery through the window, occasionally humming to indicate that she was listening.Daniel's enthusiasm was not affected in the slightest with her lukewarm attitude. He was looking forward to seeing her reaction when she saw their love nest that he had painstakingly prepared in the last few months. He was sure that she would be overwhelmed by his sincerity and didn't have any qualms of failing in this
Daniel turned his head to look out the window as he heard the sound of the car driving in. He frowned as he saw the familiar car driving up the driveway to the front porch. He let out a helpless sigh as he put down his work and walked out of the room to greet the guest who had arrived unceremoniously.“Grandpa, why are you here?” Daniel asked in a helpless tone as he came down the stairs.“Bastard… what are you doing?” Grandpa Holston lost his temper as soon as he arrived “If I don’t come now, am I waiting to collect your remains?”“Grandpa, calm down.” Daniel held Grandpa Holston’s arm as he coaxed “It’s not as serious as you think.”“Not serious??? Not serious???” Grandpa Holston repeated himself panting in anger “Do I have to wait for the Holston name to be erased from history before it becomes serious?”“Grandpa, calm down.” Daniel spoke calmly “Let’s discuss whatever you need to say in the study.”Grandpa Holston shook his head helplessly as he allowed Daniel to walk him to the st
Emile had no idea why she was feeling tired even though she had rested in the afternoon, she felt sleepy soon after dinner and couldn’t stop yawning.“Emile, why don’t you go and sleep?” Grandpa Holston smiled as he saw her struggling to stay awake; she looked extremely adorable as she struggled to stop yawning as she didnt want to appear rude.“I haven’t seen grandpa in such a long time.” Emile pouted as she sat holding his hand, refusing to let go although she was still yawning “I want to chat with grandpa for a little longer.”“Be good… go rest.” Grandpa Holston coaxed in a gentle voice, as though he was talking to a young child “You can talk to grandpa any time you want. Don’t spoil your body by being tired.”Emile hesitated for a few minutes before she gave in and went upstairs to rest. Grandpa Holston watched her walking upstairs with a heavy heart. He didn’t want to cheat his Danton’s treasure who wholeheartedly treated him as her own grandfather… but… this was his grandson’s
Emile woke the next morning feeling much more relaxed than she was feeling the day before. She greeted Daniel warmly as they sat for breakfast. Daniel had a reminiscing expression on his face as he watched the cheerful Emile; it seemed like they had gone back to the time when they were slowly falling in love with each other, a few months after Michelle left.“Um??” Emile blushed as she quirked her eyebrows; she felt embarrassed by Daniel’s hot gaze.Daniel shrugged; a gentle smile hung on his face.“Is there something on my face?” Emile pouted “Why are you looking at me like that?”“Why can’t I look at my wife?” Daniel decided to be shameless; he also wanted to test the waters.Emile didn’t know how to respond to such shamelessness and turned her face with a ‘Hymph’"Where's grandpa?" Emile asked as she noted that Grandpa Holston had not come down for breakfast which was contrary to her memory. In her memory, Grandpa Holston had always insisted on having meals together whenever they h
Daniel had no intention of keeping Emile locked, probably because he was too conceited; whether it was his plan or the love that Emile had for him or the location he chose to hide till things normalized, in his mind they were all fool proof. He had no reason to restrict Emile’s movements.Carl’s words echoed in his mind; the best way for her to accept this as her reality was to mingle the chaos in the mind with freedom, giving her the impression that as long as she wants to do it, she was free to do it. Restricting her would give strength to the doubt in her mind whereas freedom would tug at the existing chaos without making sense, gradually fading to an unattended corner, and finally to be dismissed.In the evening, he took her for a stroll at the beach and to the night markets that would spring into life every evening, bustling with activity. Daniel wasn’t particularly interested in these cheap stalls, but he knew Emile liked them as he had read about them in Abbey’s travel memoirs.
