My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 716

Just then, Emily Blair called him again.

Alex White hesitated for a long moment before finally answering.

At first, neither of them spoke. Silence hung between them.

After a while, Alex frowned. “Say something.”

Emily Blair suddenly laughed on the other end. “Sorry—I didn’t realize you’d actually pick up. I thought you might just ignore me.”

Alex frowned again. He still wasn’t used to how effortlessly casual Emily sounded, but he let it go.

“Those documents you sent me… Are they real?”

As soon as she finished, the blare of a car horn came through the phone, followed by Emily’s voice. “If you don’t believe me, let’s meet up. I’ll show you the hard copies—they’ve got the official seals.”

Alex fell silent for a long time.

When he finally spoke, his jaw tightened, face contorting for a second. “Emily, you know what’ll happen if you’re lying to me, right?”

Emily turned the steering wheel and said evenly, “If you don’t trust me, why answer my call? Why did you go to the hospital with me the other day?”

Alex was at a loss for words.

“I’m driving right now,” Emily said. “How about I swing by and pick you up? We can talk.”

“…Fine,” Alex replied.

He gave her his address. Emily checked the map; she was only ten minutes away.
