Antonio Bailey looked at her with a pained expression and sighed, “Emily Walker, no matter what, you need to focus on recuperating so that you can have another child as soon as possible, right?”
Antonio thought this would give her some comfort, but he inadvertently touched Emily’s wound.
“There won’t be another child.” Emily Walker leaned against the head of the hospital bed, recalling Baron Stuart’s cold demeanor that day.
Naturally, Antonio knew nothing about this, but Rylee Brownette saw it all.
Hearing her determined words, Rylee tentatively asked, “Emily, are you blaming Baron for being cold and heartless that day?”
At first, Rylee was also surprised by Baron Stuart’s sudden cruelty and ruthlessness, but it wasn’t until he jumped from the building at the last moment that she understood.
Emily glanced at Rylee but didn’t say anything, which was considered an acquiescence.
What can be more deadly for a person who loves someone so much than to see the man ignoring his own life at such a critical moment?
Seeing her silent, Rylee knew that there might be a misunderstanding about Baron Stuart.
She was about to explain, “Emily, maybe that day, Baron had his reasons.”
But Emily coldly replied with sarcasm, “Reasons? What reasons? In this world, what could force Baron Stuart to have no choice?”
From Emily’s tone, Antonio Bailey and Rylee Brownette could hear the deep irony.
“Although I don’t know the exact reason, when you fell from the building, Baron Stuart -”
The hospital room door was suddenly pushed open. Wallace Carter entered with an anxious expression, looking concerned as he saw Emily on the hospital bed.
“Sister, what happened to you?” After more than a week, Wallace learned about his sister’s hospitalization from Baron Stuart, and heard that her child was gone too.
Surprised to see him, Emily asked, “Wallace, how did you find out?”
For the entire week, Baron kept her brother from visiting her, threatening her to eat by using her brother as leverage. She had thought that Baron had actually sent him away to E City.
Wallace approached Emily, looking worried and said, “My brother-in-law told me that you were in the hospital.”
“Brother-in-law?” Emily, confused for a moment, didn’t yet understand who this brother-in-law was referring to.
Wallace nodded, “Yes.”
He usually called him ‘Baron’ or ‘him’, but that day when he received a call from Baron, Baron used ‘you’ to address him. Before they hung up, Baron suddenly said, “You should be calling me brother-in-law.”
Without waiting for Wallace to regain his composure, Baron had already hung up the phone.
After a while, Wallace realized that Baron seemed to be expecting him to call him brother-in-law. So, Wallace played into his wishes!
“Sister, what exactly happened? How did you lose the child?” As the uncle, he was also quite excited about this child. After only a short passing of time, the child was suddenly gone, leaving him utterly disappointed.
This child would probably remain a deep pain in Emily’s heart forever, and she didn’t want to bring it up again.
Avoiding the topic, she asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be in class?”
Wallace shook his head, “No, I took leave.”
