Chapter 1346
The wedding limo and Elliott’s groomsmen had arrived. Elliott rang Bonnie up, asking if she was ready. Suddenly, Bonnie asked on the phone, “Elliott, spill the beans. Are Emily and Dr. Martin really a couple?” Caught off guard, Elliott moved to a secluded spot and asked in a hushed voice, “Why’d you ask that?”
Bonnie sneered, “Don’t pull my leg. Elliott. Emily’s kid isn’t Dr. Martin’s, and they’re not even married. I can’t believe you lied to me
Frowning, Elliott asked, “Who told you this?”
“My aunt,” Bonnie said. “Her husband works at South Hospital and knows Dr. Martin My father was bragging that Emily’s husband was Dr. Martin from South Hospital, only to be called out. How embarrassing?”
Elliott quickly apologized, “I didn’t mean to fool you. Dr. Martin has been chasing Emily, but she hasn’t said yes.”
“What about Emily’s kid?” Bonnie pressed.
Elliott was at a loss for words.
“Emily got pregnant abroad, didn’t she?” Bonnie scoffed, “You’re crossing the line! I’ll have you know, we’re furious and considering calling the wedding
offi
“Don’t be like that!” Elliott pleaded, “Family from both sides are here, guests are on their way to the venue. We can’t just call it off on a whim. Besides, when your family needed help at South Hospital, it
was Dr. Martin who stepped up, all because he cared about Emily Have a word with Terry and Andrea We didn’t mean to trick you. It was just a coincidence”
After a lot of sweet talk from Elliott, Bonnie finally compromised, “Fine, the wedding is on. But I don’t want a kid with a murky past to be my flower girl The Ferber kids are here, I want them to be the flower kids.”
“But,” Elliott looked troubled, “I promised Emily. Kya has changed her clothes, she’s all set to head to the venue. How am I supposed to explain this to Emily?”
“I don’t care, the Sullivans have enough shame to deal with. If you bring in a mystery kid to be my flower girl, it’ll make me sick. Can’t I call the shots at my own wedding?”
Elliott was getting upset, “Kya isn’t some random kid, she’s Emily’s daughter, my niece!”
“Then let’s call off the wedding!” Bonnie was sharp and uncompromising.
“Bonnie, the wedding is about us, it has nothing to do with Emily”
“Elliott!”
Elliott was cut off by Emily’s voice from behind. He turned around.
Emily stood behind him, holding Kya in her arms. Kya was dressed in a white princess dress, looking like a cute and delicate doll, innocently staring at him.
Emily had a calm expression on her face, she shook her head and whispered, “Kya doesn’t have to be the flower girl”
Elliott’s eyes welled up with tears. He quickly looked away.
On the other end of the phone, Bonnie pressed, “Elliott, it’s my wedding day. Are you turning me down?”
Emily looked at Elliott and said, “Elliott, you can’t call off the wedding. Just agree. Kya is still young, she’s not really fit for the role.”
Elliott took a deep breath, then turned and said to Bonnie, “Alright, Kya won’t be the flower girl. Let the Ferber kids take over.”
Bonnie finally grunted in satisfaction, “And don’t forget to bring gifts for the Ferber kids when you come. Each gift can’t be less than a hundred dollars? “Sure thing!” Elliott whispered in response and hung up.
He hated that he was powerless to protect Emily and Kya, despite Emily being the one he cared about the most.
Elliott turned to look at Emily, guilt written all over his face, “I’m sorry, Emily”
“It’s okay!” Emily shook her head, “As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”
