Ch. 131..135: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 131-135
Chapter 131: We'll Meet Again
Some of the gazes fell on Henry.
Henry was very generous that one time.
He immediately stood up and walked to Emily.
"Hello, may I sit here?"
Sally stood up quickly and told everyone to make some space for the super handsome guy.
Emily blinked, "But I don't know you." Even if he was irresistibly handsome, she really didn't know him.
Henry sat on the chair Sally had moved for him, beside Emily.
"Nothing, but I know the demon behind you."
"Cough!" Emily almost choked to death with the drink she just drank.
He... He knew Hunter?
She looked again at the man beside her. Both his manner and appearance were indeed like one from Hunter's world.
Then why did he come over? Just now he heard her when she said Hunter is a demon, so he wanted to rat on her later?
All of the sudden, Emily looked at Henry with full guard on.noveldrama
"Don't panic, I shouldn't tell him about that." Henry received the glass that the waiter sent over.
His slender fingers slightly pinched it elegantly, and it was extremely fascinating.
But, "shouldn't"? Then there's still a possibility?
Emily looked at him with a slight disdain, "How could a grown up man gossip behind someone?"
"Ha." she's quite interesting.
Just now when he saw her from afar, she was indeed a beauty. But after walking closer, he could see that her skin was dark and her face was full of freckles.
However, since Boss said that she's a beauty then it must be true.
That freckled and ordinary face might just be a camouflage.
Sally tried hard to give signals to Emily with her eyes.
How could she speak to someone so I politely? It wasn't really Emily's style to do
So.
Especially when he seemed elegant, smart, with no evil intention.
Emily was going over the line by doing that. Lois also felt there's something wrong with Emily's manner... The most important thing was he's handsome as hell!
"Hey girl, want to be friends?"
"Haven't you heard of the saying 'do not covet on your friend's wife'?" after all, it's best to have less contact with people related to Hunter.
Emily had no interest in making friends at all. How could she reject him so much?
Henry didn't get angry and smiled instead, "I heard you're doing some cartoon."
"That's right, are you interested in animations too?" Lois was extremely sensitive to business opportunities.
They could tell that he was very rich and respectable just by one look. If he was interested he'd definitely be interested in investing only.
Of course he wouldn't make cartoons himself because it's tiring and the income would also be limited!
Henry just looked at Emily, "You need some investment?"
"Absolutely!" Lois immediately said that.
Emily didn't say a word and it's was not because she didn't want any investment!
She was lacking of funds at that time.
But that guy was Hunter's friend, even if he wanted to invest in them then it would also because Hunter.
Since she would be separated from Hunter after 2 years, then the investments made because of Hunter would seem unreliable
She shook her head, "Even if we need investment, we also have demands for the investor. We won't accept who have no understanding of animations and didn't really want to do this business.
"Ha." Henry couldn't help chuckling.
little thing really wanted to draw a clear line between her and Hunter.
Since she knew that he's Hunter's friend, she looked at him differently.
Boss might not have an easy way in pursuing his wife.
He just felt that it's very strange.
How could there be a girl who was not affected by Hunter's charm, and even took
the initiative to become estranged?
Was Hunter not the prince charming that every girl in Benson hoped for?
Emily's resistance to Hunter was really intriguing.
"How do you know that I know nothing of animations?"
Henry put his glass down. He could only glance at Lois since he wasn't able to convince Emily.
"I have an entertainment group with an animation development department, so maybe you can come and try it out."
"Really? That's ama..."
"There's no need for pleasantries." Emily immediately interrupted Lois.
She glanced at the glass that Henry had put down.
"Sir, we are not even qualified yet to make animations so we don't have the qualifications to work together with you... There's really no need for that."
"If one day we have developed and you're sure that we have that capability... Perhaps we can discuss it by then."
"As for now..." she kept looking at his glass when she calmly said, "This place might not be suitable for you. Even the tea here might-undrinkable for you."
"Since it's like that... Regardless of what you came for, please go back."
"Emily..."
Lois and Sally frowned at once.
How could she just reject such a good opportunity?
Terry indifferently stared at Henry, "Please do!"
They wanted to drive him away?
That guy indeed looked like he could fight well, but they couldn't just fight there.
Henry stood up and looked down at the tea cup he just put down.
He really doubted the environment and the hygiene of that place. He didn't want
to try to eat or drink anything there either.
But after being told by Emily on that very place, he suddenly felt wronged. He may
just be able to eat or drink there.
However, that was not the time to feel so.
"little thing, we'll meet again."
He walked away after saying that.
His slender legs walked elegantly and caused a lot of sighs around him. Sally and
Lois couldn't help heaving their sighs when they watched him walking away.
They both glared at Emily.
"What's wrong with you? You usually wouldn't be so impolite." Sally grumbled.
Lois really felt that it was such a pity, "He has an animations department and it's absolutely a good chance!"
"Would just believe when there's a sudden luck out of the blue?" Joe glanced at
her.
He trusted Emily fully so there must be a logical reason for Emily to say no.
Lois also knew that there wouldn't be such great thing in this word, but she was
unable to understand it.
"We have no rich guy or beauty here."
She looked at Sally, Emily, and her own self before finally shaking her head.
"We can't say that he came to pick up girls either."
"So that was really strange, wasn't it?"
Emily didn't want to explain too much to them. She didn't dare to say a word about
things regarding Hunter.
As if Sally thought of something... After all, she knew Emily and Hunter's
relationship.
After giving it a thought, she pretty much understood Emily was worrying about.
"All right, stop talking about it. Let's just discuss about how we should do it for the
next two weeks."
"Tomorrow, I'll give you the script after class." Emily looked at Calvin.
The time was critical and that night was really the last night they could pamper
themselves.
After that night, they must strive for perfection!
Everyone continued eating and drinking, but Emily occasionally lifted her head to
look at the restaurants on the other side of the street.
It was because of the handsome guy who appeared for no reason and the
helpless feeling of being watched by a cheetah...
Hunter wouldn't have really observed her every single move in the dark, right?
Chapter 132: People from Two Worlds
Master Jackson watched secretly indeed.
It was really out of his expectation that Henry was "kicked out" instantly.noveldrama
"Aren't you called yourself as a heartthrob that none of the females in this world could resist your charm?"
Monty was very happy because even the most gentle and elegant Henry also hit the wall. Ms. Gale was magical.
He was itching to try and get in touch with Emily Gale at that moment.
Henry gave him a glance, and the cup on his hand was thrown at Monty all of the sudden.
Luckily Monty was also once a high-achieving student who was specially trained, and so his response toward Henry's action was fast enough.
He rolled away from his seat, and then wham, the cup was fallen on his seat and splintered immediately.
"This is a leather sofa!" Monty was nearly speechless!
The leather sofa itself was soft and elastic. How could a cup break after throwing it toward the sofa?
However, this guy was not only broke the cup but also broke it into pieces. It was obvious how powerful the force he used was.
Monty was immediately dissatisfied, "Do you want to murder me? I'm just gloating. Why are you so serious?"
Henry's elegant smile was still on his face, even the feelings under his eyes seemed to have not changed at all.
He picked up another cup and took a sip of tea. The scent of the tea was spreading.
He suddenly remembered the cup of tea that he disliked at the roadside food stall just now.
Ms. Gale said he didn't even dare to drink the tea from a roadside food stall.
The waiter came to clean up the scene in a hurry. Seeing these four handsome men that beyond his imagination, he didn't even dare to keep looking at them, let alone asked what had happened.
He walked away after he hurriedly cleaned up the seat and changed a cup of tea respectfully.
Monty sat back and waited for Henry. He looked unconvinced.
He couldn't stand Henry for his gentle appearance that could fool everyone in the world, but in fact, he was extremely calculative and shady!
This guy was not a good person at all. However, women would believe that he was gentle and harmless with his face and elegant aura.
As a matter of fact, it would be absolutely astonishing if he wanted to harm other people.
"Alright. I don't say that anymore, okay? Don't smash things again. This just shows you are lack of manner."
Monty sat trembling because he was afraid that Henry would throw the cup at him again without saying anything.
With such a strong strength, it would be extremely hurt if he couldnt dodge it.
See! Who would believe that Sharp Second Young Master was so rude without seeing it with their own eyes?
"Big Brother, how long do you want to see?" Johnny, who was sitting beside and drinking his tea quietly, suddenly asked.
They just noticed that Hunter was sitting by the window with a cup in his hand. However, he had already drunk up the tea in his cup.
He remained the same posture since the beginning. He curled his thin lips without saying anything when he saw the young man and young woman at the table that was far away from him.
Henry put down the cup and looked at Hunter's cold side face while saying lightly, "Maybe it's because of your identity and your age that made her think that you and she are the people from two worlds."
People from two worlds?
Hunter raised his eyebrows but still didn't say anything.
Henry had returned to his usual calm and his gentle smile was still hanging on the corner of his lips.
"She immediately guarded against me and kicked me out after hearing me introduced myself as Jackson Eldest Young Master's friend."
"So you weren't kicked out because you were so ugly... Oh, just kidding."
Monty felt defeated and hurriedly corrected the statement, "But it's because that
little fellow resists everything related to Big Brother?"
Including Big Brother's friends?
"Yes, that's what it means."
Hunter suddenly put down his cup and stood up.
This time he was really going out while calling to Liam.
Looking at the back of Hunter leaving, Monty was still curious.
After waiting for Big Brother to leave the restaurant, Monty looked at Henry, "Bro,
is Big Brother really hitting on her?"
It was a sign of him giving in when he called him bro every time. Henry was finally willing to look at him.
After a short silence, Henry said, "I'm afraid it's true."
He just didn't know whether Hunter's feelings towards Emily would be short term
or long term.
However, according to Hunter's personality, it was either dislike or love someone for his whole life.
Did the little girl capture his heart that was as cold as stone?
Nevertheless, this little girl seemed very dissatisfied with Big Brother. Big
Brother's path to his love wouldn't probably run smoothly.
Jackson Eldest Young Master went on a business trip again. He took a plane the next day without saying when to come back.
Emily didn't know whether she was feeling relieved or some different feelings.
She felt relieved but there was a vague feeling of not adapting to the changes when she saw Hunter was not in the villa.
Maybe she just hadn't got used to it yet.
Anyway, it was good because she was relaxed when Jackson Eldest Young Master was not in the villa.
Emily packed her luggage in a relaxed mood and moved directly into the school dormitory.
The battle started immediately.
Lois came back to report that their registration was successful two days later.
The preliminary round was scheduled for the next weekend, which meant there were only twelve days left.
Their small club completed the first three chapters on the morning of the third day.
"Send the email directly?" Sally didn't know what to do next.
What if the editor did not reply at all after submitting the work by email? Wouldn't it
mean that they had no any successful works yet when the preliminary round approached?
"Don't submit it. We just directly published it."
If they submitted it, once they caught the editor's fancy and signed a contract,
they would get paid by the publisher.
However, if they published by themselves, they wouldn't get paid even though the
site approved and their work was successfully published.
"We need a work right now. Let's publish the work for free on all the platforms first.
We don't have much time left if we submit to the editor."
"I got it. I'll register for an account and publish it directly after school in the
afternoon."
Sally squinted her eyes because she was very delighted when she thought about
their work that would be published soon.
Although they probably needed to endure unpopularity and didn't have any results
for a long time without any contract with a publisher, at least they had their own
work already.
"Emily, have you decided the title yet?"
"Youth on Fire."
"Well, then we call it 'Youth on Fire"!"
The youth was like a fire. Hence, only fire was matched with the word of youth.
"But Emily, are you going to draw completely about the teenagers' growth?"
Sally was perturbed because the theme of teenagers' growing process was too unpopular and easily flopped.
"No, it is about teenage love story, and there will be three handsome male lead."
"That's right!"
Teenagers liked this kind of theme nowadays. They didn't like the story that was
too serious.
Lois came in from the outside with some posters in her hands. She rushed to
Emily and Sally.
"Nina, the talented girl from Skyler University will come here in the afternoon.
Every anime club has to send someone to attend the lecture. Emily, you and Sally
should go."
Emily knitted her eyebrows.
Nina was a top student from Skyler University and also an excellent artist.
She had several popular works at this young age, and her personal Weibo followers had reached up to millions of people!
She was a popular influencer who played an important role in the anime industry.
However, the reason that made Emily knit her brows was because of Nina's
identity. Nina was Sarah's niece, and also the most outstanding Marsh Young
Miss!
Chapter 133: Compensation
Nina came here today to give a lecture.
The reason why all comic societies had to send people to attend the lecture was that Nina would attend the Animation Festival one month later as a judge.
Although Nina was just a student of Skyler University, she was very famous in the cartoon industry of Bentson.
Among the painters of her age, her achievements were quite brilliant everyone else.
Others had tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of fans, but she had millions of fans.
Of course, it had something to do with her frequent attendance.
She was Sarah's niece and was also the daughter of a noble family. Moreover,
she was deeply favored by the old man of the Jackson family.
Every time she held an activity, many people would like to join in.
"In fact, your identity is even better than her. As long as you make some achievements, and then announce that you are Hunter's wife, the number of your fans will be increased quickly."
From the teaching building to the conference building, Sally came to Emily's ear and said secretly.
Emily gave her a sidelong glance, "what you mean is that I will accomplish nothing if I don't have the status of Hunter's wife?"
"Of course not. It's the icing on the cake."
Emily didn't pay attention to her any more. Sally was in a good mood today and was smiling all the way.
Seeing that there was not much time left for the lecture to start, Sally quickly ran up the steps outside the building, "Emily, I'm going to occupy our seats first."
Emily wanted to catch up with her, but the girl ran so fast and disappeared soon.
Nina's lecture really attracted a lot of people. Those who came later could not occupy a good position.
Emily could only quicken steps and walked into the lobby of the conference building.
She didn't know what happened in the lobby. A group of people gathered together as if they were seeing the fun.
Emily didn't know if Sally had gone in. Within such a short time, she actually had disappeared.
Emily bypassed the crowd and was preparing to walk to the largest group meeting room in the whole building.
Unexpectedly, she just walked a few steps and heard Sally's voice, "I didn't mean to. I'm sorry."
Emily was stunned and walked into the crowd.
"Do you think an apology can let us pretend to be no such thing?"
The two girls holding the painting looked angry. One of them said angrily, "Do you know how long time and how much painstaking it took Miss Nina to draw this painting?"
The other's face was red with anger and she was anxious, "This is the work to be displayed in the Animation Festival next month. Now it is damaged by you. How can we tell Miss Nina?"
Sally was so anxious that she was sweating and explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean to do it. What's more, you bumped into me yourself..."
"Then you go and ask the people in the school to tune out the surveillance. Let's see who bumped whom!"
The two girls stared at Sally, wishing they could eat her alive.
"You've damaged Miss Nina's paintings and even slandered others!"
"This is a hand-painted work. There is no second one in this world. Tell me how can you compensate?"
As soon as the students around heard it, they immediately began to discuss, "A hand-painted work? Then, it will be troublesome."
"Yes, there is no second one. The amount of compensation is absolutely great. Sally will be sorry this time."
"What's going on?" Emily crammed into the crowd.
Hearing Emily's voice, Sally immediately seemed to have met a savior, and walked quickly past.
"Emily, I didn't mean to. It was them who bumped into me. I was going to hide, but
I still couldn't hide."
It was really an unforeseen disaster!
"You ran so fast just now. Now, you said we bumped into you ourselves?" The girl pointed at Sally and said angrily.
Emily just looked at Sally.
Sally quickly explained, "Yes, I have walked fast. But I have looked carefully on the road. It is really them who suddenly bumped into me, I couldn't even hide."
"What's going on?" Outside the crowd, there was another sound.
Everyone looked back. A group of people suddenly consciously made way for them to come.
Nina and her assistant were here. Now, it would be a good show!
Nina was wearing a simple dress and her long hair was pulled up. She was noble, generous, and elegant. She was the most perfect image of the daughter of a rich family.
This was the legendary painter, Nina. Although many people were familiar with her name, few had ever seen her in reality.
After seeing her face, people had to say that Skyler University was really a place for beautiful girls.
Nina came over. The two girls immediately went over with a look of anger, "Miss Nina, it's that girl who damaged your painting."
Another girl opened the scroll. Sure enough, there was a crack in the corner of the painting which was very exquisite and almost perfect.
Although the crack was not big, the painting was damaged.
No matter how damaged, it was impossible to send it to the exhibition again!
That is to say, this small crack had destroyed the whole painting!
Nina's sight fell on Sally under the direction of two girls.
Sally had already been frightened by the momentum of Nina and was a little timid. Now Nina fixed on her, she immediately panicked.noveldrama
However, she still explained, "it's really not me. It's them who bumped into me on their own initiative. I didn't mean to. I have tried to hide."
Hearing this, the assistant immediately became angry, "Do you know how much money this painting can be sold in the market? Can you afford it?"
Money was not a problem. What the most important was how should they do in the Animation Festival a month later?
Nina's schedule was full. How could she spare so much time to draw another painting?
The girl who was a bumpkin was really too much!
"Assistant Han, what should we do now? Are we going to sue her for money?"
The girl holding the picture asked.
"Yes! At least we have to let her pay a few million!" Assistant Han was very angry.
She saw with her own eyes how Nina finished the painting, and how she insisted on when she was tired.
Now, it was basically board drawing. There were not many hand-painted fine paintings, let alone such large posters.
Did she know how valuable the hand-painted posters were?
With Nina's current fame, a few millions were just conservative estimates!
This girl, who didn't know anything, was so impatient that she damaged the paintings. How can she be reconciled without letting her pay so much money?
"I didn't damage it..." Sally tightly grasped Emily's clothes.
Emily said, "OK. Let's call the police and let the police investigate."
"Emily..."
"Since you are sure that it was not damaged by you, then call the police and let
the police investigate. We are not afraid of the things we haven't done."
Emily patted the back of her hand.
Sally was still a little flustered. Even if she didn't take the initiative to bump into
them, she did touch this painting.
As long as it happened, maybe... she couldn't get rid of it?
If they really called the police, just like setting the responsibility for a traffic
accident, she must also be responsible. At that time, she had to compensate according to the proportion.
The key was that she and Emily all had no money. What should they do?
The two girls who sent the painting seemed angrier than before when they heard
that Emily would call the police.
"If you do this, Miss Nina's reputation will certainly be damaged. At that time, you
will have to pay for the loss of reputation!"
Sally was even more upset.
But Emily said with a faint smile, "It doesn't matter. I believe that Sally doesn't
need to pay for any money. Because the painting had been damaged before you bumped into Sally."
Chapter 134: The Truth Is the Same as She Thinks
It had been damaged before they bumped?
The two girls looked at each other, and one of them hesitated for half a second, and her voice became harsh.
"What are you talking about? Hana and I have been carefully guarding this painting. It used to be good. It is your friend who damaged it!"
Hana also pointed to Sally and said loudly, "Yes, it is she. She rushed in and walked without looking the way, no, ran without looking the way, directly bumping into us!"
"Yes. Everyone was here just now. All people had seen that she bumped into us!"
People around didn't say anything. But looking at their expressions, it seemed that many people really saw them bump into each other.
Looking at Nina, they spoke with one voice, "There is absolutely no problem with this painting before. Miss Nina, you should perceive it."
Nina didn't speak. She would never take part in a quarrel.
Her eyes fell on Emily's face. It seemed that she was recalling something.
Emily was natural and generous, allowing Nina to look at her at will. She stared at Hana, "Did you have a head-on hit?"
"Yes! She bumped into the picture directly. "
"Yes! The picture was knocked down by her and the edge was torn."
"What were you going to do at that time?" Emily asked again.
"Why should I tell you? Who are you?" Hana looked disgusted.
"Why not? Is there any concealment?" Emily smiled and turned her head to looked at Sally, "What about you?"
"I went to occupy the place. Miss Nina's lecture was about to begin at that time." Sally was natural.
Seeing this, in order not to be suspected that she had something to hide, Hana immediately said, "The lecture was about to start. So, we were also rushing to set up the venue."
"So, this painting was to be displayed in the studio, wasn't it?"
"Yes."
"But the lecture was about to begin. Why were you so late? Shouldn't you have to go early and arrange the painting carefully?"
Emily's words made Nina and Assistant Han's eyes fall on the two girls at the same time.
Assistant Han was a little confused, "She is right. Hadn't I told you to come earlier?"
Hana was flustered. After thinking about it, she explained in a low voice, "It's Eloise who had diarrhea, so we delayed..."
The girl named Eloise also said quickly, "Yes! I didn't feel well in my stomach and
went to the toilet a few times more. So, we lost time."
"Since the delay, you should rush to the studio as soon as possible."
"That's right. We were on our way to the studio..." But after Hana said those words, she felt vaguely that something was wrong.
Emily gave her the answer directly, "Since you were in a hurry to the studio, how could you bump into Sally who was also rushing to the studio?"
"This..." Hana was stunned and stammered.
"It... It was because Eloise had a stomachache again. So, we..."
Emily paid no attention to her but only looked at Nina, "Miss Nina, is this the attitude of the employees you hire?"
This had nothing to say that one person lost time because of diarrhea.
But they were not only one person.
Since Eloise's diarrhea, Hana could go to arrange the painting first. It should not be because of one person's problems that both people were all delayed.
Nina didn't speak. Assistant Han's face sank, and she said unhappily, "All the people we hired were selected from thousands of candidates. They are all outstanding and capable."
"So, will a capable man make such a mistake?"
"I remember!" Sally suddenly grabbed Emily's sleeve and said, "They didn't rush
to the studio at all. Before they bumped into me, they were originally standing in the lobby."
"You mean they were standing in the lobby, not rushing to the studio or looking for the bathroom?"
Emily smiled. All this was the same as her conjecture.noveldrama
"Yes! They were standing in the lobby. When I was about to arrive, they suddenly went back and bumped into me."
Now, even Sally understood!
"You must have damaged the painting by yourself and couldn't tell Miss Nina. So, you two deliberately bumped into me and framed me for damaging the painting!" Sally pointed to Hana and Eloise and her fingers were trembling with anger!
"How could there be such a bad man? You... You have gone too far!"
"I didn't. It's not like this, Miss Nina. It's not like this!"
"Well. If you refuse to admit it, we'll call the police to deal with this thing."
Emily took out her mobile phone and was about to call the police.
"This lobby is full of surveillance. We can know by checking the surveillance whether things are what we suspect."
"No!" She must not let Emily call the police! As long as they had been in prison, they couldn't work in this industry anymore.
It was not just this industry. If they had criminal record, they would have no future.
Eloise walked quickly to Nina and was in a hurry, "Miss Nina, in fact, this painting..."
"Eloise, don't be scared by them. Just let them call the police. It was this girl who bumped into us. Can the police wrong us?"
Hana's face sank and she stared at Eloise, "We didn't make mistakes. What are we afraid of?"
"The place where you rest may also be monitored. Since they will check, then let the police check all the surveillance cameras together."
"No! Don't call the police! Miss Nina, it's Hana. It's Hana who damaged the painting. It's none of the girl's business!"
Eloise was timid. So, she admitted everything after being frightened by Emily!
"Eloise, what are you talking about? You did it! Don't slander me." Hana quickly said.
Eloise was angry and anxious, and her tears rolled down, "What are you talking about? It's you."
She was so angry that she stamped. How could Hana be like this!
"You said that Miss Nina's painting was not good at all, and you could draw better
than her. You were so angry that you had been tossing about Miss Nina's
paintings. Then, you tore the edge off carelessly!"
"You bitch. You dare to wrong me! I will not let you go! *
"I have not wronged you. that's the truth!"
Emily pulled Sally aside and looked at Nina, "So, can we leave now?"
Nina waved. Emily pulled Sally and turned away.
"Don't we see how they deal with it?" Sally couldn't help turning back.
"What does it matter to you about the problems inside their own studio? Be
careful to be involved in again and be the scapegoat."
Emily rolled her eyes at Sally.
This girl was always framed but didn't be careful at all.
If it was not for her, Sally might have been framed many times due to her
carelessness.
"However, if we're against their studio like this, I'm afraid we will have a lot of bad luck in the competition."
Sally sighed and didn't know why she was so unlucky. Someone wanted to find a scapegoat, then she was chosen.
"Nina is one of the judges in the final. I think it is difficult for us to win the prize this
time."
"Let's get to the final first." Emily said disapprovingly.
The mobile phone message prompt sound suddenly rang at this time. She took a
look. Unexpectedly, it was Hunter's news.
"Grandma is very ill. Go home with me immediately."
Chapter 135: Why Him
Emily didn't know when Hunter came back.
When she heard the news that her grandmother was seriously ill, she immediately ran to the school gate without thinking about anything.
Matriarch Jackson was seriously ill and was sent to the emergency room. Now, all the people of the Jackson family had rushed to the emergency room.
After getting on the car, she had been holding her palm.
She was extremely nervous!
Although in her last life, Matriarch Jackson could still live for half a year, that was her last life.
In this life, her life's journey was completely different from the previous one.
Now, Emily did not know what was the situation of Matriarch Jackson and whether she could survive!
Hunter's face was ghastly pale and he was dusty.
Obviously, after receiving the news, he hurried to come back from abroad.
After two days' absence, he seemed to be more apathetic, and the aura of being away from strangers became more and more intense.
Emily was worried about Matriarch Jackson and didn't pay much attention to the man beside her.
Along the way, they did not even say a word. The atmosphere was heavy.
Finally, they arrived at the hospital parking garage. As soon as they got off, Hunter took Emily's hand and walked quickly to the elevator room.
In the operating room on the 17th floor, everyone was waiting.
They looked solemn and did not say any words to each other.
Seeing Emily, Patriarch Jackson suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "You come with me."
Emily thought Patriarch Jackson was calling Hunter. So, she immediately let go of Hunter's hand and retreated to one side.
Unexpectedly, Patriarch Jackson went straight to her. Seeing that she didn't respond, he even grabbed her wrist.
"Grandfather..." Now, even Hunter couldn't see clearly what Patriarch Jackson wanted to do.
"Your grandmother wants to see her." Saying this, Patriarch Jackson directly took Emily and went to the operating room.
People was shocked and could only watch Patriarch Jackson knock on the door of the operating room.
The nurse came out. Hearing that this was "Emily", she immediately let Emily into. Even Patriarch Jackson was blocked outside.
"What's going on?" Hunter frowned slightly and walked to the door of the operating room.
Patriarch Jackson glanced at him. He did not relax at all with a serious face.
After a while, he said, "The doctor said that she has been calling Emily all the time."
Patriarch Jackson didn't remember who was Emily at all before.
For him, the reason Hunter was engaged was only to please Matriarch Jackson.
Patriarch Jackson was absolutely dissatisfied with Emily. How could such an ugly woman deserve his best grandson?
But Matriarch Jackson was very stubborn to let Hunter and the youngest daughter of the Gale family get engaged.
What else could he say with Matriarch Jackson's current situation? So, he could only arrange the two people to be engaged first.
As for the future, after Matriarch Jackson... After that, he had other plans.
It was impossible for an ugly woman to become the young lady of the Jackson family. After all, this position was the facade of their family. If she went out in the future, she would surely make their family be laughed at by others.
So, he couldn't remember the name of the youngest daughter of the Gale family.
He couldn't remember who was Emily Matriarch Jackson calling. He only thought that Matriarch Jackson was muddle-headed and talking nonsense.
But seeing Hunter coming with Emily, Patriarch Jackson immediately remembered when Matriarch Jackson saw Emily in Jackson's house, she indeed called her Emily!
No one knew why Matriarch Jackson only wanted to see Emily among so many younger generations.
Patriarch Jackson didn't know why a girl who was not related to them, but just engaged to Hunter, could be favored by Matriarch Jackson.
But the fact was that after Emily engaged to Hunter, she was deeply favored by Matriarch Jackson.
At the last family dinner, Matriarch Jackson even let Emily sit by her side.
Even the two legitimate daughters of the Jackson family had not enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Emily also did not understand why Matriarch Jackson wanted to see her at this time.
But after several layers of disinfection and coming into the room, no matter whether she understood or not, Emily was completely shocked.
Matriarch Jackson attached to tubes. She could maintain her life depending on the supply of pipes.
She looked very emaciated. Her breath was weak, as if she would be taken away
at any time if the wind was a little bit strong.
Emily felt sad. Her nose twitched and her tears almost rolled down.
"Grandma..." Emily squatted on the edge of the bed. She held Matriarch Jackson's hand and looked at the doctor.
The doctor shook his head. "We've tried our best. Now, Matriarch Jackson can only wake up by herself."
There was no problem with the operation. But Matriarch Jackson was too weak to
go out now.
Even if she went out, she had to be transferred to the intensive care unit.
In short, it was a catastrophe for Matriarch Jackson. Whether she could survive or
not depended on her own will.
"Grandma, it's me. I'm Emily. Grandma, I'm here."
She did not know why Matriarch Jackson needed her. But at this moment, Emily realized that she needed Matriarch Jackson very much.
Matriarch Jackson was the best to her among all the people in Jackson family!
"Grandma..."
"Emily..." Matriarch Jackson's cracked lips moved and she murmured.
Emily was shocked and suddenly looked up to see the doctor.
The doctor nodded and motioned for her to continue talking to Matriarch Jackson.
Emily took a deep breath and said softly, "Grandma, it's Emily. I am coming. Grandma, do you have something to say with me?"
"Emily..." Matriarch Jackson was obviously excited again. Her eyelids were shaking, but she could not open her eyes.
The doctor and the medical assistant came to check Matriarch Jackson immediately and paid close attention to the data of the instrument.
There were signs of gradual improvement in the data. Although the recovery was
not much, it was much better than before.
The doctor looked at Emily and nodded to show encouragement.
Emily clenched Matriarch Jackson's hand. Her voice trembled slightly but was
softer.
"Grandma, I'm here. I'm Emily. Grandma, do you hear me? Grandma..."
"Emily..." Matriarch Jackson's fingers moved. Gradually, she took Emily's hand.
Her voice was so hoarse and intermittent that even the doctor could hardly hear
what she was saying.noveldrama
"Emily, my granddaughter... Emily, Emily..."
"Grandma, I'm here. I'm here!"
So, in Matriarch Jackson's heart, she had already been her granddaughter!
Emily didn't know why Matriarch Jackson was so kind to her.
But she could feel clearly the Matriarch Jackson's affection to her.
Even in the Gale family, no one had ever given her such affection.
"Grandma..."
"Only Hunter... can protect you. Emily, only Hunter..."
Emily was shocked for a moment. She really didn't understand why Grandma had
to let Hunter protect her.
Wasn't she safer if she did not follow Hunter?
At present, although the danger she was facing was not entirely due to Hunter, at
least half of the people came for him.
But grandma said that only by following Hunter, could she be safe.
"Grandma..."
"Only Hunter. Emily, must... follow Hunter."
Matriarch Jackson suddenly tightened her fingers and held Emily's hand tightly.
Emily was scared and called the doctor, "Is grandma going to wake up? Doctor, hurry to come and have a look. Is grandma going to wake up?"
