Ezra frowned. "But didn't you have Eric investigated? He grew up abroad. How could he be involved in things that happened here?"
"What we found may not be true, and anything can be faked," Julian said, adding, "I'll have David go over the girl's family again."
"Okay." Ezra and the rest of them answered.
"It's better to get the results sooner," Phil said, frowning. "If it turns out that Eric really was involved in that incident, then we can take action against him sooner."
Julian pursed his lips and nodded.
He never thought Eric and Yvonne would do this.
He had two bodyguards at Emelia's side, and this time he accompanied Emelia himself, only for this to happen again.
Before they were mainly focusing on protecting Emelia, fearing that Yvonne would do much harm to her, but now it looks like Eric is targeting each of them.
After a few more words, Ezra and Phil get up and leave.
But when they opened the door to leave, they found Emelia and Maisie standing outside in the hallway.
Maisie was supposed to take Emelia back to rest, but from the looks of it, it looked like Emelia just went home to change.
Arthur remembered the last time Emelia was drugged by Yvonne and hospitalized, Julian also went back to change his clothes and rushed back, Arthur couldn't help but laugh, "You two are really the same."
Emelia didn't care about his teasing and hurriedly asked, "How is he?"
Arthur smiled and turned sideways, "He's awake, nothing serious, go in and keep him company."
After Emelia went in, Phil's eyes turned around on Ezra and Maisie and said, "This is the sour smell of love. Did you sense it?"
As a man with his wife in his arms, Phil's words were teasing to both of them, reminding them to face up to the things like love, since they were together, of course, they should be together for the rest of their lives.
Ezra didn't say anything, Maisie did laugh lightly and picked up a sentence, "Mr. Henderson, isn't there a poem that goes, 'Freedom and love are dear to me; My life I give, sweet love, for thee; Yet love I give for liberty'."
In other words, in order to have freedom, love or marriage is something that could be left behind.
Maisie's spontaneity was what Phil did not expect, in a sudden; he didn't have anything to say, only smile and then step away.
Ezra and Maisie then left, but Ezra glanced at Maisie who was beside him, frowned slightly.
He always thought that according to her serious character, if later they were to separate, she might not be able to let go, now it seems that he thought too much, she and he held the same attitude, they were just playing.
Yes, if she was not playing, how would she be with him?
She also knew that they were not going anywhere...
Thinking about this, Ezra didn't know what to think of this, in short, he didn't feel very good.
Julian saw Emelia enter his ward; his face was full of surprise, "I thought they sent you back to rest?"
"I am worried about you." Before Emelia went to his bedside, her eyes were red, "Julian, don't be like this in the future, you have to cherish your life, do you know that?"
Julian saw that she cared for him, he was very happy, he raised his hand to pull her to his side and said, "You are too fragile, you wouldn't survive the impact."
This was what he thought in his head at that time, he was at least a big guy, and he was trained and boxed from time to time, even if he was hit, left with a broken arm and leg, he could also endure the pain.
He could withstand the suffering, but he could not see her hurt.
When Julian said this, Emelia's tears could no longer be held back.
Unfazed, Julian put his arm around her and whispered, "We were talking about proposing marriage to your family before the accident, now let's continue."
Emelia was speechless.
He was too casual about it, now he was lying on the hospital bed, and still thinking about the marriage proposal.
She changed the subject, "The doctor said you should rest more."
Julian's eyes were thick with hurt, "I even gave up my life for you, and you still refuse to marry me?"
In fact, when thinking about it, Julian is quite grateful to Eric and Yvonne for making this accident, he protected Emelia with his flesh and blood, just to show his unwavering love for Emelia.
Then, he can now take advantage of this affection to get her to agree to remarry him.
Even if there was some coercion, he also admitted, as long as he can get her to remarry him, its fine.
Emelia saw Julian's wounded expression and hurriedly said, "I didn't say I don't want to marry you, I'm just worried that you are not fit to think about such things right now."
Julian caught the relief in her words and immediately asked again, "You said you didn't say that you don't want to marry me? Does that mean that you would marry me?"
Emelia didn't reply.
Julian caressed her face and kissed her, and after the kiss, he said joyfully, "That's great."
Without waiting for Emelia to say anything, he pressed his forehead against hers and promised softly, "Emelia, trust me, I won't let you down this time."
Emelia's eyes were moist as she gently wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled herself into his embrace.
He had protected her with his life, could she still be afraid of him letting her down?
