"Good morning, Cayden. Oh? It turns out Grace is here. Good morning, Miss Evans," Emily greeted, occasionally glancing at the hospital bed. Cayden knew very well what that glance meant, and so did Grace. However, Grace was reluctant to show it. "Good morning, Miss Harper. What a coincidence, you have arrived here. I can leave Cayden while I take care of the office," she replied, still tending to be cold and stiff. "You just dropping by?" Louis's banter made Emily frown. He sounded like he was already close to Grace. "Yes," Grace nodded. "I always check on my two cousins every morning to report. You know? It's too dangerous for my uncle and aunt to visit their own children. Plans can go awry." Emily realized that Grace was satirizing her. However, she didn't want to bother. "Just leave Cayden to me. I can look after him well. You just focus on your business," Emily smiled sweetly. "Okay. I'll trust Cayden to you. Now I need to find the nurse who looks after Inston." W
Amused, Cayden's laughter finally escaped. But then, he disguised it with a sigh. He didn't want to cause any trouble. "Actually, even without clarification from you, I can understand that. If I were in your position, I would not agree with Emily's decision too. Or maybe, I would lock her up in a room so she wouldn't come here. The criminal we're facing is big-time. Catching him could be risky," Cayden said casually. He had changed his gaze to a friendly one. After a brief silence, he continued, "I am grateful that you and Orion are willing to reduce that risk. I am also grateful that you allowed Emily to stay here with me. I will not waste your trust and opportunity. I will protect Emily more than my life." Louis studied Cayden with a doubtful gaze. "That's all? You only intend to protect her from death? There are no other intentions?' Cayden didn't move before blinking. "Of course there is. I also intend to love her the right way, treating her as the most precious girl in the
"You have to succeed in helping us catch Seth with as little risk as possible," Grace said as if challenging. In an instant, Emily's tension faded. "Aren't I helping now? I'm the bait here." "You think being bait is enough? Don't be a burden anymore! Don't be a weak crybaby because I hate that kind of girls the most. Can you do it?" Emily's chin rose to press against her lips. "I'm not a crybaby. Isn't it normal to cry when someone we love gets hurt? But this time, Cayden won't suffer again, right? So, I won't cry." "Then you really can't be weak." "I'm not weak. I even managed to defeat three girls who intended to bully me in France." "Your opponent is Seth. He's a bad guy, not a soft bully girl." Emily frowned. She was annoyed not only because of Grace's judgment, but also her resemblance to Louis. "You see this?" Emily opened her bag, showing all the weapons she was carrying. "I may be outmatched by Seth, but I know how to protect myself. I've learned from the last
Seeing Orion open the window, the guards rushed to take off their suits. They wrapped the strange balls which were still hissing, then took turns throwing them out of the window towards the plants on the ground floor. Meanwhile, Louis quickly covered Emily's nose. Holding her in one arm, he guided her out. However, Emily refused to walk. She looked back. Her hand tried to reach out. "Cayden," she called incoherently. On the bed, Cayden had equipped himself with a portable oxygen can and a gun. "Don't worry about me! I'm fine," he pointed at his equipment. "Come out quickly! The anesthetic has already spread!" Seeing that Emily was still reluctant to walk, Orion ordered the guards to check the situation outside. Then, he moved the wheelchair to the side of the bed. "No," Cayden shook his head firmly. "I can take care of myself. You guys go. Hurry! You don't have much time!" Emily's eyes filled with tears seeing how Cayden breathed in oxygen. The can was so small. How lo
After putting on the scuba mask again, Seth opened the door to Cayden's room. Finding an empty bed, his eyebrows arched high. His gaze swept around. The room looked empty, but Seth knew that it was impossible for Cayden and Emily to leave. Based on the health report that he stole, Cayden's legs had not yet recovered. And based on Emily's personality, she couldn't possibly leave Cayden alone. "They think they can deceive me?" Seth snorted lightly. "They're so stupid." Silently, he started searching. He checked behind the door, then behind the couch. He thought Emily and Cayden were there. But apparently, his assumption was wrong. Frowning, Seth turned to a round table near the window. It's big enough for two people to hide behind the tablecloth. But once again, he found no one. "They're not here?" Laughing softly, Seth glanced at the large closet on the other side of the room. "Then they must be there." He approached it casually, but instead of opening the closet, he remove
When he woke up, Louis immediately checked his surroundings. He was in a fairly spacious room. Orion and the guards were still asleep in their respective beds. "Emily .... Where is Emily?" he thought as he got up. Coincidentally, Emily had just opened the door. Seeing her twin brother sitting on the bed, her eyes sparkled. "Louis!" She hugged him. "Finally, you're awake. I was so worried about you. You're okay, right?" Clutching his head, Louis nodded. "I think I'm fine. How are you?" Emily stood in front of Louis with her arms spread wide. "What do you think?" The corners of Louis' lips lifted slightly. "It seems that Cayden's plan was going well. Did you guys manage to defeat the evil?" Emily nodded quickly. "Cayden's plan was brilliant, Louis. He's cool!" With great enthusiasm, Emily told Louis what she had just experienced. She sounded proud when explaining how she controlled the drone to beat the enemy. "You should see his frightened face. He looked desperate. M
Since she and Louis separated at the airport, Emily couldn't stop smiling. She kept imagining how peaceful her life would be without Louis' supervision. She didn't need to be afraid to get close to Cayden anymore. She could feed him in peace. She could also massage his legs without anyone stopping her. "Emily, do you want me to carry your suitcase?" Orion asked while looking at what Emily was dragging. He was always curious about what the girl was carrying. In fact, he and his bodyguards only needed one backpack to travel for several days. Even Louis only needed one additional tote bag. What was the use of a suitcase bigger than a sack? "Orion, I'm an independent woman. I can carry my own suitcase. Plus, it's not heavy and has wheels. It's not a hassle at all." "Well then, are you sure you want to stay at the hospital? Why not just stay at a hotel? It's not far from here." "Orion, I promised to accompany Cayden and take care of him while I was here. Now there are only
Along the way, Emily was busy creating a scenario to greet Cayden's parents. She actually had tried to stay calm, but her knees couldn't stop shaking. "Princess, are you okay?" Cayden whispered. Emily widened her eyes. "Yeah, sure. I'm fine." "Then why ...." Cayden hinted through eye movements. Emily traced his sight. Finding her knees shaking, she quickly pressed them down. "Oh, this ...." "She must be nervous," Orion said from the front seat. Emily immediately puckered her lips. "No. I'm not nervous. I'm used to talking in front of lots of people. Why should I be nervous?" The girl flipped her hair, but her movements were too stiff. Orion's heart became even more tickled. "Among those many people, there isn't your future in-laws, Em. The vibe is different." Emily grimaced in annoyance. If Orion was sitting next to her, she would have pinched his arm. Meanwhile, Cayden held back a smile. He was amused to see Emily's red cheeks. "You don't need to be nervous, P
