Joey was confused, "didn't you forward me a WeChat message this morning?"
"Me?" Emma was surprised.
After a while, she figured out that it must be Sean who had done it.
Thinking about that, there was nothing wrong. Sean was so busy after all, how could he stay here all
the time...
Joey seemed that he could conjure. He took a pack of fried chicken wings behind him with a smile,
then asked, "are you hungry? I asked the nanny to make the fried chicken wings for you early in the
morning."
Emma was indeed hungry, since Sean was not there, she had already forgotten the doctor's words.
She held a crispy chicken wing in hand. Before eating it, she was stopped by a big hand.
Emma raised her head and happened to see a pair of dark and deep eyes.
Sean was in an iron gray shirt and straight black trousers without a tie, and his neckline was slightly
open. They were the same clothes from yesterday. He looked a little tired, and obviously he hadn't had
time to go back and change them.
Joey was surprised at how Sean appeared there. But Sean directly ignored him and set his eyes on
Emma's face. He took the chicken wing from her hand and threw it into the trash can on the side.
"Even if you have nothing left to live for, you shouldn’t choose such a stupid way to suicide," Sean was
blue in the face.
Emma swallowed and looked into the trash can. Before she could understand why Sean scolded her,
Joey took the initiative. He got up from the chair and stood in front of Sean.
They were of similar height, but Sean seemed more powerful.
"What do you mean? What are you trying to insinuate? What happened to my girl eating chicken
wings? What's upsetting you?"
Sean glanced at him coldly, turned around and picked up the jacket on the back of the chair, and
walked straight out without looking at him.
Joey turned around and looked at Sean, then said, "fuck, why is he so arrogant?"
Emma was speechless.
It was not long before Sean had left, the nurse came in.
When she saw the packet of chicken wings in front of Emma, she scolded, "Didn't I tell you not to eat or
drink anything?!"
"I didn't, I didn't eat..." Emma was a little guilty.
Hearing this, the nurse breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her tone, "you are so young that you
should be serious about you health. Pancreatitis is a disease that patients are forbidden to eat or drink.
Once you disobey it, your pancreas will secrete a large amount of digestive enzymes, which will
worsen your condition. So you must not try, remember?"
Emma nodded, and Joey’s face turned pale...
——————
Apart from lying to Officer Brown that she was going to live with George for a few days, Emma was
sitting on the hospital bed all morning, watching Joey eating all of the fried chicken wings.
Joey threw away the paper bag which was containing the chicken wings, and saw Emma's long face,
and smiled embarrassingly, "I forgot that you are still hungry, or... do you wanna smell it?"
A pillow was thrown on Joey's face, and the ward was full of his heartless laughter.
Joey went to the bathroom.
From inside came the sound of splashing water.
Emma raised her head and glanced at the window. It was a bit cloudy that day.
She picked up her phone and browsed the weather forecast. The forecast said it wouldn’t snow...
Suddenly she reminded of Nunu, she hurriedly found Sean's number on her contact list.
She dialed his number, and Sean answered the phone call soon.
"Hello?" A deep voice came.
"Where's Nunu?" Emma asked.
Sean on the other end of the phone said, "in my house, no animals are allowed in the hospital."
Emma finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, she said to him, "thank you."
Sean didn't reply. Then he said calmly, "I will send a nursing assistant to take care of you. She will
arrive at the hospital at noon."
Nursing assistant?
Emma didn't know where her courage came from, "then are you still coming to see me?"
Sean was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, as if he was smoking, "If I am available, I will
come to see you..."
If he was available...? It seemed perfunctory.
Before Emma could ask again, the phone call was already hung up on the other end.
Emma looked at the phone in her hand blankly, getting a little upset for no reason.
However, her upset disappeared quickly, because Joey's mobile phone rang suddenly in the bathroom.
His ringing tone was a woman’s groaning because of orgasm...
...
L City central business district was not surrounding by high-rise buildings. Close to the river, there was
a renowned villa.
A Mercedes-Benz was slowly entering, then stopped in front of a butler in Chinese tunic suit.
The car door opened, then a woman got off.
The old butler stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "My lady, you are back."
The woman nodded, and looked at a black Bentley parked not far away. She turned her head and
asked the butler, "Is Sean back?"
...
When the woman Belle walked into the living room, she saw that scene.
Sean stood in front of the French windows facing the light. He was in a neat white shirt with black
trousers, holding a mobile phone in his hand. A dog was squatting beside him.
The afternoon sun shone on Sean and Nunu. It seemed that they were plated with a golden line.
Sean and Nunu were looking down at the Guyou River in the distance, as if they were all thinking about
something.
Sitting on the sofa was the 93-year-old old man Charles, Sean's grandfather, who was holding an iPad.
The old general of the past was still hale and vigorous, sitting upright. He was an hero who personally
led the army to fight at front line of the War of Resistance.
"Dad, why didn't you take a nap today?"
After Belle handed her handbag to the nanny, she stood at the door and changed slippers.
Charles ignored his daughter-in-law's question, and reached out his hand and hooked one of his
fingers towards Sean. His voice sounded oddly resonant, "Sean, come over and tell me, why the scene
is still?"
Sean turned his head, walked towards the sofa, took the iPad from the old man, and glanced at the
gray picture on it, "you were killed at the game again."
The old man suddenly became angry, pointed to the iPad and said, "I don't believe it. Start again!
When I led the soldiers to fight the Japanese invaders, I shot one at a time. Now I can't beat the little
guy at the game?!"
Sean was speechless.
Belle could not help but smile, walked past them towards the kitchen, and told the cook what to prepare
for dinner
...
Belle liked dogs. During dinner, she did not forget to ask the nanny to prepare a meal to Nunu.
The atmosphere on the table was a bit cold because it was the custom to eat without saying anything in
that family.
Herman, Sean's father, was also a soldier. Although he had been in business for many years, he kept a
straight face all the time with dignity.
He put down his chopsticks, as if he had something to say.
"What have you been up to lately?"
The question was for Sean.
