Chapter 992 - Emmas Past
Chapter 992 - Emmas Past
"She is still a child, you don't need to apologize." Samuel narrowed his eyes, looked at her, and asked. "I've given you one night, can you tell me your problem already?"
After hearing his voice, Emma lowered her head and smiled bitterly. "Samuel, why do you want to know my past? If it wasn't for my troubles at that time, how could I have left you? Leaving Merry in front of the orphanage door really broke my heart. Just give me a little more time, okay? I wanted to tell you because I didn't want you to go through this excruciating pain!"
Last night, she didn't explain the truth about what happened at that time.
Emma kept emphasizing that she had no choice but to suffer and be helpless.
Therefore, Samuel put aside the official business in the morning and ran to the Royal Galaxy Hotel to the point of having to wait for her for a long time.
Two hours, to be exact.
Even though it's all long gone, to him, it's a kind of obsession.
Maybe this has nothing to do with Emma, ??he just wants to ask for an explanation.
At this moment, Samuel looked at Emma with a sad look. Even though he wanted to keep forcing her to speak, all his words were caught in his throat. This morning, he had spent his time with Emma, ??eating with her, listening to her innocent nagging.
He only returned home at half past ten at night.
He had even long forgotten about the appointment to have dinner with Erika.
...
At ten that night, after Samuel changed clothes, he walked into the kitchen naturally.On weekdays, if he came home late at night, Erika would warm the food on the table.
Even if he said to her that he had eaten out, she still used to prepare food for him.
But tonight seems a little different.
The kitchen was as clean as new, and there was nothing on the table except decorative vases.
Samuel subconsciously looked at the stove, but still found no sign of food there.
At this moment, the butler rushed over when he heard Samuel's movements. He looked at Samuel's back and asked suspiciously, "Master, do you want to eat?"
Samuel turned around and stretched his eyebrows. "No, I've eaten out. Madam… Have my wife and daughter had their dinner?"
The butler was surprised, and patiently explained, "Madam left at noon. She said she was going out of town for a vacation with her friends. Young Miss and her friend had dinner at six o'clock, they should be in the room."
"Madam went out?"
Samuel was nervous when he heard the news, and his heart was beating louder for some reason.
The butler saw his astonished expression and asked carefully, "Didn't Madam tell you? She will return after two days. I thought you knew about it."
When the words fell, Samuel quickly went upstairs. A hint of uneasiness rose in his heart.
When he walked into the dressing room and looked at the dressing table and the row of cupboards beside the wall, almost all of Erika's belongings were still there, which made Samuel involuntarily feel relieved.
It seems that his advice to have fun with her friends was heeded by his wife.
Thinking of this, Samuel took out his cell phone and made a direct call to Erika.
The call was quickly picked up, and Erika's soft voice came through the receiver. "My husband…"
Standing in front of the dressing room's door, Samuel leaned back in relief. "Why didn't you tell me that you were going out of town?"
Erika was silent for a moment, then smiled. "Didn't you say I should take a break and go with my friends? There are art exhibitions in several cities, so I wanted to come and have a look."
On the earpiece, there was nothing wrong with Erika's demeanor and tone. Everything sounded as usual.
Samuel had a short chat with her again, and after hanging up the phone, he realized that he had forgotten to ask who she was with.
He held the phone for a while, and finally gave up on calling her again.
Since Erika wants to go out and take a walk, he doesn't want to bother her too much.
When Emma's problem was resolved, he would apologize to her.
...
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning.
Merry sat in Chris' office with a sad expression, playing with her cell phone. "Brother, do you think my mother left me?"
Currently, Chris was sitting in his chair smoking a cigarette. Hearing the little girl's wailing tone, he smiled and soothed. "No, didn't she say she would be back after two days when she went out?"
Merry tugged at the corners of her mouth and nodded, grabbed a pillow and hugged it. "She didn't tell me when she left, I only found out when the butler told me. Mom must feel really down, I've never seen her need some time alone to calm herself!"
The little girl with the tiger face was constantly complaining about her father. After listening to her words, Chris received a message on his cell phone.
When he saw the sender's number, the smile on his face immediately diminished a lot.
When he finished reading the information, his pupils shrank and his eyes became unpredictable.
Merry waited a moment, did not hear Chris' answer, turned and looked at him. "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Chris' eyebrows and eyes showed a faint hostility, which surprised Merry. She drops her pillow and walks towards him. "Is there something wrong with my mother?"
"Not!" Chris held the phone in one hand, and when Merry approached, he immediately pulled her to his side. "Do you want to know Emma's past?"
Merry was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly nodded. "Of course! Did you find anything? Show me quickly!"
The little girl jumped a little excitedly. Seeing Chris hand over his phone, she immediately grabbed it and called out, "Brother, you're so great, you can find the information very quickly."
Chris' serious expression faded a little. With his chin held high, he pretended to be arrogant. "No need to mention! This is just a piece of cake!"
Merry didn't say a word, and all her attention was focused on the contents on the phone's screen.
Emma is the third child of the Sylvester family.
Twenty years ago, she married a member of a branch family of the Sylvester family. Four years after marriage, she had a son, whose real name was Tony.
Later, when Tony was three years old, Emma changed his name to Jade and included him in the Sylvester family tree.
Currently, Emma and her husband are still registered as married. Not only that, their status was now quite prominent in the Sylvester family, and the data showed that her husband was also a very astute businessman.
When Merry saw this, her little face was full of contempt. "What kind of person is she! She's obviously married, why is she still trying to take me from my family?"
Chris sneered. "Keep scrolling!"
The little girl glanced sullenly. Chris then moved to her side, naturally made her sit on his lap, looked down and continued to look at the screen.
A year ago, Jade was hospitalized due to illness and was diagnosed with uremia, which caused kidney failure.
Three months later, Emma found a suitable kidney source for her and Jade had undergone a kidney transplant procedure. However, due to the severe rejection reaction after the operation, Emma had no choice but to start running to find a suitable kidney for Jade.
The news showed that the kidney source for Jade's previous kidney transplant came from Emma herself.
Currently, Jade's disease is getting worse, and if no suitable kidney is found, he will die soon.
