Chapter 252
Come Home With me
Eliana and Billy were present throughout. Since they didn’t speak the language, they had no idea what the doctor had said to Emelie What surprised them even more was sering Emelie rush toward a man and embracing him, but they had no clue who he was.
Willam glanced at Ashton, who understood and immediately went over to explain to them. But more importantly, they needed to clear the area.
Emelie’s forehead rested perfectly against William’s collarbone. In that moment, she cried tears of joy for Greta and felt the relief of her worries finally lifting Her excitement was genuine, but only she knew how much of it was true when she threw herself into his arms,
After composing herself, Emelle attempted to break free from William’s embrace. Yet, he held her firmly by the waist, giving her no chance to escape. She couldn’t help but utter, Mr. Middleton?”
William’s eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered, “This is the first time you’ve voluntarily hugged me, right?”
Emelle gripped the lapels of his suit jacket and whispered, “Dr. Foster is still watching us.”
“I don’t mind if you lean on me like this from now on,” William replied calmly, his deep voice resonating against her ear that was pressed to his chest. “Be good, and I’ll handle any trouble you encounter”
Emelie pressed her lips together. She knew he was subtly asserting his dominance and proposing his plan for change. He assured that her he could solve any difficulties she faced, but only if she complied obediently. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Emelie gently struggled for a moment, prompting William to release his hold on her waist. He then took her hand and walked toward Sophie.
He asked, “Is there anything else we need to be aware of as the patient’s family?”
Sophie stood with her hands tucked into the pockets of her white coat as she responded, “At this stage, it’s primarily about monitoring the patient’s condition. There’s not much that family members can actively do. My suggestion is for you to rest well, Ms. Hoven You seem quite exhausted”
William glanced down at Emelle and noticed the dark circles under her eyes and the weary look she wore. It was clear she had little rest over the past three days and nights. Despite this, she pressed on, asking “When can my mother be out of danger? When can she leave the LOU?”
Sophie calmly replied, “If she remains stable through the initial 24 hours and we see no significantchanges over the next 48 hours, she should be able to leave the ICU.”
That meant a total of 72 hours of monitoring and care.
Afterward, Gréta was taken back to the ICU for continued observation.
Emelie leaned against the glass window, watching Greta. Unsure if it was just her imagination, she felt Greta seemed more lively after the surgery.
Lielie kept her gaze fixed on her mother for a long while until William grew impatient. He walked over to her and pulled her along,
She stumbled slightly. “What are you doing? Where are we going?”
William glanced back. “Don’t you remember what Dr. Foster told you?”
Emelie tensed immediately. “What? Did I forget something important?”
William explained, “She said you can’t do anything right now, so you might as well rest”
Emelie defended herself, “I don’t feel tired.”
William looked her up and down. “You haven’t showered in a few days, have you? Can’t you smell yourself?”
Emelie paused, instinctively sitting her own clothes.
Seizing the moment while Emelie was distracted, William promptly led her downstairs and out to the car, setting their course for Eastbay.
Just as Fimelle was about to say something, William interrupted, “The surgery’s over. What else are you worrying about?
To Emeke’s cars, his words sounded more like, “The surgery is over. Why are you still making excuses not to come home with me?”
