Kayden and his men stayed almost motionlessly in the hospital parking lot for a very long time. About
an hour later, Emmett finally crooked his finger at them and said indifferently, "Let's go."
"Oh! Let's go!" Kayden waved his hand and called over to his men. He looked at Emmett cautiously
who still kept his eyes closed, and then he asked Emmett a question timidly.
"But ... where should we go?"
The true thought in Emmett's heart was that he did not care where to go at all!
Without Elaine, the girl he loved, by his side, everywhere was as cold as ice!
"I don't care." Emmett took off his hands covering his face. Kayden even saw tearstains at the corner of
Emmett's eyes!
Kayden knew that his Young Master was sad.
"Then ... shall we go back to the villa?"
Emmett ignored Kayden's question, but Kayden took that for acceptance. Then, he gave the chauffer a
look and the fleet of cars drove towards Emmett's villa by the seaside.
As they walked into the villa, the butler and the servants all lined up to greet Emmett respectfully.
"Master Smith, welcome back."
Without saying a word, Emmett threw his jacket on the floor and went upstairs.
The old butler was startled. (⊙_⊙) Seeing that Emmett throw the jacket which cost tens of thousands
on the carpet like garbage, he picked it up and brushed the dusk off it while staring at Kayden. He
asked Kayden, "What happened? Why is Master Smith so unhappy? He is behaving weirdly."
"You're darn right!" Kayden shrugged and curled his lips. He looked up and whispered, "Ms. Jones
broke up with Master Smith."
"What? They broke up?" The butler was shocked, "Are you sure?"
...
"They broke up! Of course, I'm sure! Our Master met with Ms. Jones, and then she fainted out of anger.
We just came back from the hospital, didn't we? In the hospital, Ms. Jones broke up with Master
Smith."
"What a pity! I always think that Ms. Jones is a nice girl. She is down-to-earth, and she gets along well
with Master Smith. I have even talked with the other servants in private that Master Smith might marry
Ms. Jones one day. But why did they break up again?"
Kayden shook his head, "Well, it's hard to say if they will get back together this time."
As the blood debt between the two of them had been exposed, how could they still be together?
From now on, Kayden might not be unlucky again because of Elaine..., but he was not happy at all,
opposite to what he had thought.
Just like Emmett, Kayden was also in a bad mood.
When Elaine woke up, it was already two in the morning.
She opened her eyes and saw the white ceiling first. She had always been slow-witted in the past, but
she understood everything quickly this time.
She stared at the white ceiling and smiled miserably. She thought to herself, 'I wish I was dead! I
wouldn't be so painful or have to go through all this torture if I died!'
'This was too fucking painful!'
Elaine let out a soft sigh, turned around and saw someone sleeping beside her at her bed.
Elaine noticed that it was Mark!
She wondered if he had been there with her all this time.
She looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was past two o' clock in the morning. She sighed
again because she knew how tired Mark was and how much he cared about her.
She thought, 'Mark ... Mark ... If I hadn't met Emmett, perhaps you and I would have become a happy
couple. I was just a nobody in high school, while you were a genius. How honored and happy I would
be if I could win the favor of you!'
If ... if she hadn't met Emmett ... she might have thought that being with Mark was her greatest
happiness.
Elaine smiled faintly, but her smile was bitter.
She got off the bed and walked quietly to the window in a shirt. She drew the curtains to look into the
night sky. She couldn't help but stare blankly at it.
...
'Where is Emmett sleeping now?'
'Is he in his huge bed in his villa?'
'Or is he sleeping in a woman's bed?'
Thinking of Emmett, Elaine felt that her heart ached and that she could not breathe. She placed her
hand on her chest and rubbed her skin there with her hand, gasping.
Her hand was ice-cold.
Elaine lowered her head and saw tearstain on her hand.
She realized that her face was already covered with tears.
'What should I do? What should I do?'
'Why can't I let go even after I knew why he chose to approach me?'
'Why can't I stop missing him even when I know that I can't be with him anymore?'
She missed him so much!
It was as if her heart had flown towards him.
'My father killed his mother in the car accident. My father was guilty of sending his closest kin to
heaven.'
'It was my family who had done something wrong!'
'He didn't approach me because he loved me, but because he wanted to take revenge on me... That's
so cruel!'
Why him!
Why Emmett!
Mark shuddered and suddenly woke up from his dream. He just had a sweet dream. In his dream, he
and Elaine were walking on the red carpet hand in hand. They were about to get married.
When Mark woke up, his lips were still curled into a sweet smile.
Mark was shocked as he saw that there was no one in bed. He looked around, and soon heaved a sigh
of relief.
He figured out that Elaine was just standing beside the window.
Mark stood up, picked up his coat on the bed, walked up to Elaine, and placed the coat on Elaine's
shoulders.
"Why did you get out of bed in a hurry after you woke up?"
His voice frightened Elaine, and she suddenly took a deep breath. She tilted her head slightly, took a
glance at Mark, and immediately lowered her head.
She didn't want Mark to see that she was crying.
After making a scene and breaking up with Emmett, she still missed him and sobbed alone... She didn't
want anyone to notice her contradictory feelings.
However, she was so clumsy in hiding her pain. A considerate man like Mark had seen through her in
the first second he looked at her.
When Mark saw her tear-stained face, he suddenly felt so sorry for her. He held her shoulder with his
hands and tried to comfort her softly.
...
"I know you're sad. He's a good man, and you broke up with him because you had no other choice,
right? I know feeling sad is inevitable, so don't be embarrassed. I can lend you my shoulder to cry on
tonight if you want. You might feel better after you cry."
Elaine shivered and her lips trembled violently. She looked pitifully at Mark, and Mark gave her a warm
smile. Elaine could not hold back her tears anymore. She threw herself into Mark's embrace and burst
into tears.
"It hurts... It hurts so much... My heart is broken... I can't live anymore... I don't want to break up with
him... I love him... I don't want to leave him... But my family has done something wrong. He doesn't love
me. He just wanted to take revenge on me..."
Just like that, Elaine cried loudly, her words broken.
Mark could not say anything to comfort her. In fact, it was extremely cruel for Mark to hear Elaine admit
how much she loved Emmett.
Mark didn't know what he had missed, but when he wanted to turn around and embrace Elaine's love,
which he had always thought of as belonging to him, everything changed.
Because of that, Mark often asked himself a meaningless question when he was unable to sleep in the
middle of the night.
"Would everything be different, if I turned around to accept her a just a few days earlier?"
Elaine muttered and cried until she was exhausted. After crying for more than two hours, she was too
tired that she sank and fell asleep in Mark's embrace, her head tilted.
Mark wrapped the soft little body with his arms and sighed. He picked her up and gently placed her on
the hospital bed again.
He leaned over and looked at her face infatuatedly, "Elaine ... I will be by your side no matter what
happens. Can you stay by my side from now on? I'm still waiting for you. What do you think?"
Elaine shouted that she wanted to leave the hospital the next afternoon.
She did not like hospitals. She could not bear the pungent smell of the disinfectant, and she was also
afraid of getting injections.
Mark couldn't persuade her to stay in the hospital, so he had to help her deal with the formalities before
leaving the hospital. The doctors told them that Elaine still needed to stay in bed for a few days after
she went back home.
Mark drove Elaine back to the dormitory. Hazel opened the door for them and told them that Bradley
was cooking.
***
Elaine knitted her brows and complained, "Hey, Hazel, how can you ask a guest to cook for us? You
are being cruel to him. He is indeed a simple-hearted guy, but you can't bully him. He is a respectable
policeman anyway. Well, I'll cook. I don't want him to burn down our kitchen."
Hazel immediately stopped Elaine and said, "Taking care of you is our top priority now! You just left the
hospital, so we must take the best care of you. Just leave everything to us. You should just take a good
rest and be our most honorable empress in the coming days."
Elaine couldn't help but curl up her lips into a smile, "Oh, my dear servant, go and make a cup of tea for
me. I want my tea made with water taken from a mountain which is five thousand meters high."
Hazel gritted her teeth and said, "You can never be somebody's master, otherwise you will become a
witch who tortures her servants!"
Elaine chuckled.
Hazel immediately gave Mark a look and told him with her eyes that he had just been making a fuss.
Mark had told Hazel in advance on the phone that Elaine was in a bad mood. Elaine had cried for two
hours before crying herself to sleep. He said that breaking up with Emmett was a big thing for Elaine
and that she hadn't gone through the bad breakup. Mark told Hazel not to mention Emmett's name
when she talked to Elaine, and he also told her to try cheering Elaine up by keeping things lively.
Hazel was so shocked by Mark's words that she even asked Bradley, whose head was still wrapped in
gauze, to come and discuss with him how to help Elaine get over the breakup.
