Chapter 243 As Crazy as You (2/2)

Jack was relieved to hear that Emily was not in any danger, but he was baffled by the doctors reports. His eyes were wide and skittish, as he looked at the doctor and said, ”Got it. Thank you and please keep monitoring her status.”

Why did Mr. and Mrs. Bai want to inject

promises, because he knew he had no intentions of keeping. After all, he loved her so much, so how was he to tolerate not seeing her again?

Jack walked out of the ward, but stayed close by, vigilant and alarmed. Once he left, Emily, casually asked the nurse who had come to check up on her, ”Miss, did you see my parents? They are a couple in their forties.”

Although, the nurse didn't see Emily's parents, she had heard about what happened from her colleagues. However, gossiping in the workplace was strictly prohibited, so she only told Emily what she thought was safe to disclose.

”Yes, I heard that they were in a heated conversation with Mr. Jack,” said the nurse.

”Really? They were here? Why did they quarrel with Mr. Jack?” she asked. Puzzled, Emily steadied her breathing, trying to clear her mind. Her gut was telling her not to believe what Jack had said.

'They are my real parents. They've been there for me ever since I was a child. I may not be their biological daughter, but they would not hurt me. Right?' Emily thought. She was bothered by the uncertainty of her thoughts.

”I'm not really sure what happened, but the other nurses said that the doctor had found something bad in your perfusion tube, which may have led to the quarrel between Mr. Jack and your parents. You can ask your attending doctor about this. He is in charge of your care,” said the nurse.

Soon after, Emily went to the doctor's office, but she wasn't able to see him even though she waited for him there for a long time. She decided to return home with her medication, but she couldn't stop thinking about what Jack had said to her.

'Jack must be lying to me again! I shouldn't trust a single word that comes out of his mouth! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Never again, Jack!' Emily said to herself.
