Dr. Fraser revealed the truth.
On hearing this, Emily Walker finally understood, and her uneasy heart finally settled.
“I’m sorry, I lost my cell phone last night and only found it a short while ago.” After speaking, she looked towards her little brother, her eyes filled with confusion.
Finally, her little brother had woken up.
“Sis…” Seeing the tears in his sister’s eyes, Wallace Carter called out to her. A sour feeling filled his nose, but he responded with a comforting smile.
After going through these incidents, Wallace seemed to have matured, losing his 18-year-old recklessness.
After briefly talking to her brother about their lives over the past few months, to avoid disturbing her rest, Emily Walker left the hospital an hour later.
By then, it was already 8:45 PM.
Upon leaving the hospital’s grand entrance, she planned to walk to the bus station not far away. But when she lifted her head, she saw that familiar sapphire blue sports car parked at the hospital’s entrance.
That’s strange, why is he…
Ignoring her confusion, Emily approached the sports car slowly and said,
“Thank you for bringing me to the hospital.”
Although she was unsure why he hadn’t left, she still thanked him out of politeness.
On hearing this, Baron Stuart raised his head. His pitch-black pupils seemed bottomless under the street lamp, giving off a mysterious aura, “Are you sincere?”
“What?” His sudden question confused Emily.
“Gratitude shouldn’t just be verbal, right?” Baron Stuart raised his gaze and stared at her dark eyes through the vibrant street lights.
Emily was momentarily stunned. She couldn’t figure out what the man standing before her really wanted.
“So… how do you want me to thank you?” She probed.
Baron Stuart turned his face and looked straight ahead, speaking faintly,
“Invite me to dinner, I haven’t eaten dinner yet.”
He hadn’t had dinner since he gave her the cell phone, drove her to the hospital, and until now, disrupting his usually regular meals.
Emily seems to have realized this too and promptly nodded, “Alright, but, can I choose the place to eat?”
She was worried that she might not be able to afford the places he would choose.
Baron Stuart squinted slightly, showing curiosity about her choice of place.
Opening the car door, the two, side by side under the European street lamps, slowly headed towards a nearby street.
Perhaps it was because it was their first time walking side by side, under the night’s starry sky, they both felt an unusual atmosphere, making both of them a bit uncomfortable.
To break this dreadful atmosphere, Baron Stuart was the first to lift his head. He caught sight of a sign not far away and the prominent characters on it caused him to frown.
Seeing him suddenly stop, Emily looked at him in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“You are going to take me there for dinner?” Baron Stuart glanced at her and then pointed towards a large restaurant not too far away.
Following his line of sight, on seeing the prominent characters, a stabbing pain arose in Emily’s heart making her complexion turn somber.
Within his dark eyes, Baron Stuart seemed to see a flash of hatred and determined intention.
The ‘Avie Hotel,’ a restaurant that her father fought tirelessly to run. He worked for most of his life and managed to turn a small stall into a famous large restaurant.
This restaurant, named after herself, was now owned by Elia Parker, the mother and daughter duo who had taken everything from the Carter family!
