Emily was stunned, and her face immediately blushed. "I didn't say that! I mean that I can sleep soundly without you!"
Simon didn't care about her explanation and he smiled presumptuously. He rubbed her head again. "Honey, I'll try to come back early."
"..." Emily was choked with anger.
Staring at his tall and straight back as he left, she picked up a small mirror again and looked at the swollen wounds on her face. Her fingers touched it gently, and she took a deep breath because of the pain. However, it was as if the heat of his fingers was still lingering on it.
Emily suddenly felt that she actually didn't regret it.
If she had a chance to make a choice, she would still do that...
The next morning, she was discharged from the hospital.
Emily did nothing. Simon handled all the affairs for her early in the morning. She stayed in the hospital for observation for three days, but there was no adverse reaction after drowning. Instead, her face was injured, and after a night's time, it was slightly swollen.
However, when she came out of the ward, her legs were limp.
Last night, in order to confirm that she could sleep well without Simon. After dinner, she lied on bed early. She succeeded in forcing herself to fall asleep before the nurse's check, but at midnight, she was woken up by Simon.
Then, there was no sound sleep. Until the latter half of the night, they were still making love, so she was tired.
Since Emily had been in the hospital for a short period of time, she didn't have many things with her except her belongings. The only bag she carried was in Simon's hand, and he was holding her hand with the other hand.
She had to go back to work, so her colleague Tina came to the hospital to pick her up early in the morning.
Emily quickly broke away from his big hand and hurried over to Tina. She bent over and put her bag into the back seat of the car. When she straightened up, she saw Tina staring at her curiously. "Emily, are you sure you're here for treatment not for sex?"
Emily couldn't help but lower her head, only to find that her skin around her collar was red.
She blushed with embarrassment.
It was all thanks to Simon who licked and bit like a dog, and her entire body was covered in traces.
Tina saw the swollen area on her face. She asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with your face?"
"Don't mention it!" Emily waved her hand.
Tina passed her and looked at Simon, who was standing behind her. She whispered in her ear with hesitation, "Emily, Dr. Chin has a... tendency to do that, huh?"
"...No!" Emily was so embarrassed that she immediately signaled her to shut up with her eyes.
After talking to the director, Simon stepped forward and said, "Emily, I'm on the night shift tonight."
Emily said gruffly, "Why are you talking to me about that!"
Although she said in a detestation tone, her heart was beating a little bit quickly. The fact that he reported his whereabouts in this way showed that it was really a husband who did something to his wife.
When they got into the taxi and the car door was about to close, Emily thought of something and stuck her head out. She hesitated and asked, "Monster, tomorrow... do you have anything to do?"
"Tomorrow?" Simon meditated for a moment, and his eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation. He said lightly, "After the night shift tomorrow, I have made an appointment to operate a heart bypass surgery."
"Oh." Emily nodded and didn't say anything else.
The sun rose and it was a new day.
Maeve held his arm and smiled sweetly. "That's right, darling. I invited Miss Emily. I'm just being kind. I don't expect that you can't become friends after you broke up with each other. You won't blame me, right?"
Emily didn't want to see their intimacies, so she lifted her long dress and walked into the banquet hall.
Soon it was time for the ceremony, and the wedding was held in an orderly manner.
Emily was sitting at the table closest to the stage, where she could see the couple's facial features and expressions clearly. She didn't know whether it was a coincidence or someone had deliberately arranged it for her.
All she wanted was that the wedding would end early, so that she could leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
At the end of the ceremony, Maeve suddenly took the microphone from the host's hand, and her smile was bright. "Thank you very much for coming to our wedding. There is a special guest today, so I cancelled the next part of the flowering ceremony. I want to give this bunch of flowers to this special guest directly, hoping that she can find her own partner as soon as possible!"
When Emily heard "special guest", she had a bad feeling in her heart. Sure enough, after that, she saw Maeve turn around and look in her direction. "Then you must be curious about who she is. She is my husband, Boyd's ex-girlfriend..."
"Although love cannot be forced and I am very surprised that she can come, I'm also very grateful that she can come to witness our happy moment! However, I actually hope that she can come to the stage and personally bless us, but I don't know if Miss Emily mind it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the scene instantly became noisy. It easily aroused people's gossip about an ex-girlfriend coming to the wedding.
On the knees, Emily's hands clenched with force. Meanwhile, a beam of white light aimed at her directly. Before, everyone was still looking for her, but now she was completely exposed.
The strange gazes and whispers delivered from all around made her feel embarrassed.
In the entire wedding scene, it was as if she was a person standing alone on the cliff.
Just when the muscles all over her body were stiffen, Emily suddenly felt a warm sensation on her shoulder. Someone answered for her in a low voice. "She doesn't mind it."
