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

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.

Emile hurried downstairs with an embarrassed smile; if she could have her way, she would rather not see anyone considering how long she slept for…but she was hungry, her stomach was rudely protesting and there was nothing she could do about it other than going downstairs and eating her fill.“Good morning, Madam.” The butler stood in attention as he greeted her, turning a blind eye to her embarrassment.“Morning” Emile whispered, her face turning pink as she lowered her head and made a beeline for the dining table.Carl and Daniel had finished her argument and reached a consensus and walked over to the dining table.“How are you feeling?” Carl asked as he took a seat opposite Emile.“I don’t feel any different.” Emile shrugged as she sipped her coffee “How long before you give me a clean bill?”“Let me give you another check after you finish breakfast.” Carl smiled amiably “That should be the last of our association.”“Great” Emile clapped her hands happily before smiling awkwardly “No

Elizabeth’s eyes misted, all the thoughts in her heart overflowed as tears through her eyes, instead of words through her mouth.Adam couldn’t bear the sight of his beloved, who had lost a lot of weight and looked miserable; no matter how he steeled his heart, he couldn’t bear to see her in such a state and regardless of what he was planning, his steps involuntarily walked towards her and embraced her, coaxing her in a gentle voice. However, his actions resulted in the obtaining the exact opposite of what he wanted; she cried even harder.“Mom, are you going to keep us outside?” Mark asked with a feigned chuckle in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere as he saw all his siblings were feeling uncomfortable.“Come…. Come in…” Elizabeth hurriedly pushed Adam away in embarrassment and stepped away from door; she had lost all face in front of her kids.“This…” Elizabeth hesitated as she noticed the elderly woman beside Adam; she had just noticed the woman who carried the aura of a queen, sit

Emile sat up, wide awake with a pensive gaze, looking in the direction that Daniel left, a few minutes after he left the room. She exhaled in relief although her facial expression didn’t loosen. She couldn’t understand why the husband who loved her so much would want to kill their child, a child that had yet to see the world.Luckily for her, she had heard the conversation between Daniel and Dr Burkhart. She had returned to ask Daniel what their evening plans were when she heard Daniel ask Dr Burkhart about what to expect following her drinking the medicine. Although she knew that it was not honourable to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, she stood hidden behind the curtain as she listened in on their conversation.She definitely knew what Dr Burkhart said was not entirely true as she had seen the effects on her colleagues who took pills for abortion purposes. But all the same, she decided to follow his explanation as she didn’t want to go through the trouble of finding so muc
