Winning Her Heart Back

Chapter 216 I’m Here for You 

Emelie wasn’t sure what they had been discussing earlier, but both of them suddenly tell silent. 

She glanced at William and then shifted her gaze to Samuel, who was seated in the chair next to the bed. She tried to sit up, but with her left hand injured, she couldn’t support 

herself on the mattress. 

Samuel promptly stood up, placing his hand on her shoulder naturally and adjusting a pillow behind her waist to make her more comfortable. His demeanor had softened, and he asked gently, “How are you feeling? Is it painful?” 

Emelie shook her head. “I took painkillers, so it doesn’t hurt much. Why did you come here? is Ms. Swanson seriously injured?” 

Samuel responded, “The surgery went well. She’s still under anesthesia and hasn’t woken up yet. I’ve asked the nurse to monitor her closely in the room. I’ll be notified as soon as she wakes.” 

Emelle frowned slightly. Samuel sensed that she wanted him to take care of Melanie instead of staying with her. 

Before she could respond, he said, “Melanie’s room is on the same floor, just a few steps away. I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t check on you.” 

Emelie reluctantly set aside her initial words and instead asked, “I realize thaven’t asked you yet. Were you injured?” 

When the dog chased after Melanie, Samuel was defenseless, which made it hard for him to avoid getting injured. Samuel shook his head to indicate that he hadn’t been harmed. However, he “accidentally” pushed his sleeve up a bit, and Emelie noticed the edge of a bandage. Pausing for a moment, she quickly rolled up his sleeve and saw the bandage wrapped around his forearm 

“You said you weren’t injured! Emelie blurted out anxiously. 

Samuel’s eyes held a hint of amusement, reminiscent of when she asked about his fiancée last time. He spoke gently, “It was just a shallow bite. I’ll get a rabies shot, and it’ll be Tine 

Emelie wasn’t entirely convinced. “Are you sure it was just a shallow bite? 

“Want me to unwrap the bandage and show you?” 

“No need for that.” 

William remained silent, his demeanor stern Samuel gently squeezed Emelie’s hand. “And you, too. Next time you decide to play hero, make sure you prioritize your own safety birst.” 

“I know,” Emelle replied. 

“You’re quite curious, aren’t you? You wanted to see what it looks like when someone gets shot dead. Aren’t you afraid of nightmares. or have you already had them?” 

Samuel hit the mall on the head. Emelie nodded helplessly. 

Samuel pondered for a moment. “I’ve heard from the elders that eating hard–boiled eggs can calm the nerves after a fright. Il bring you a couple later.” 

Emelle sighed resignedly. “Isn’t that just a myth for children? You’re a university professor. It doesn’t seem quite appropriate for you to be making such unfounded statements.” “At the edge of science les mysticism,” Samuel replied. 

They chatted as if they were alone, completely disregarding William lying on the other bed. Witam observed as Emelle, who usually appeared guarded or cautious around him, now conversed cheerfully with another man just three feet away from him. 

“Emelie.” he called out sternly. 

Emelie turned to look at him, William’s expression was cold as he reached over to switch off the bedside lamp. “Ineed to rest. Don’t disturb me.” 

Samuel interjected, “Emelie, it’s not appropriate for you to be in the same hospital room as Mr. Middleton. I’ll ask a nurse to transfer you to Melanie’s room! 

Emelie was eager to leave, but William wasn’t willing to let her go. William’s lips quirked, devoid of a smile, “Ms. Haven, are you leaving now? 

The implication was clear–if she left now, his earlier promise to delete the photos upon her discharge would no longer hold. Emelie gripped the blanket tightly, holding her breath. 

No, it’s fine My injuries aren’t serious. I’ll stay here for the next two days and then be discharged. Moving around is too much trouble. Let’s leave it at that,” Samuel appeared displeased “Emelle.” 

Emelie composed herself and responded calmly, “Mr. Swanson, you should go and look after Ms. Swanson. She depends on you the most. If she wakes up and doesn’t find you there, she’ll surely be upset.” 

“Emelie.” Samuel said firmly Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Behind his glasses, his eyes sharpened as he realized that William was blackmailing Enelse. It made sense why she had complied when William asked her to stay and record data from Blossom Heights last time. 

He watched William cautiously while William displayed no emotional response whatsoever 

“I’m here for you You don’t need to be afraid, Samuel assured her. “Whatever it is, just tell me. I can help you” 

Finelie’s eyes flickered slightly, and she parsed her lips. “Lido have something I’d like to ask you about.” Samuel nodded encouragingly. “Go ahead.”
