Chapter 431 Dont You Ever Say Anything Like That Again (1/2)
It was time for Emily to leave so she decided to bid farewell to Beryl. Both of them were reluctant to leave each other. Yet the hope that Beryl would recover soon made Emily leave the hospital. She was very excited to see Beryl completely recovered.
Emily got inside the car and the driver drove her to Tyrone Mansion. Sam had ordered the driver to prevent Emily from feeling any sort of remorse. Hence the driver took a detour in order to bypass the bridge where Jacob had the accident.
In side the car, Emily leaned back and relaxed a bit. She refreshed her spirit by closing her eyes for a few seconds. Just when she was going to doze off, she suddenly remembered something and opened her eyes. ”Go to the bridge,” she said.
Listening to her order, the driver was hesitant to follow it. ”Mrs....”
Emily sighed and said, ”It doesn't matter. I am over this. Take it easy and just do as I say.”
With no choice, the driver was forced to do as Emily asked. He turned and took to the road where Jacob had had an accident.
The scenery outside the window was fleeting. Unconsciously, Emily squeezed her hands and had her nails fall into her palm. Yet she couldn't stop herself from looking outside. Her entire focus was on the view outside the car's window. This felt like self-torture to her.
Inside her head, she was thinking what Jacob had thought when this accident happened.
'When this happened, he must have felt desperate. There was no one to save him, ' Emily's mind answered.
”Go to the riverbank,” Emily said with pursed lips. Emily closed her eyes and then opened again. Holding back her tears, she saw the car slowly stopping by the river. ”It's said that if someone is missing, his relative can bury a pair of scissors in the riverside. In that way, he can be found within three days.”
”Mrs. This is just superstition...” The driver did not finish his sentence because he felt deeply touched by her sadness. He resumed, ”Maybe we can give it a try!”
Emily nodded her head in consent. ”Would you please go and buy some scissors? No...not only just a pair...buy a few more extra please.”
