Chapter 573 There Is No Hate (1/2)
Having noticed Beryl's words of concern for her, a faint smile appeared on Emily's face. She asked Beryl to stand up while she remained on her knees.
Emily arranged all her offerings neatly. It was all the food Andrew and Debby loved to eat before they died. ”Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I know your favorite daughter is Tina, and you probably don't want me to oppose her.” Emily accidentally spilled wine in front of the tombstone, with a trace of sadness in her eyes. ”I don't want to go against you, but I just want to avenge your death.” A cold breeze came in and rustled the dry leaves in the corner. Emily took a deep breath and stood up to hold her daughter in her arms. Since she didn't want Beryl to hear anything that would upset her, she leaned towards their tombstones, and spoke under her breath. ”Dad, Mom, Tina is nowhere to be found. I probably won't be able to avenge your deaths anymore. A lot has happened since you left this world. I've been so busy with adjusting to all the changes that I haven't been able to come and pay my respects more often. I hope you can forgive me.”
Nobody knew what would happen to her and Jacob, thus she couldn't promise her parents anything.
Emily looked at the black and white photographs on the tombstone. Her eyes shifted to the side again and became glazed with a glassy layer of tears. As she blinked, they dripped from her eyelids and slid down her cheeks. ”Dad, Mom, good-bye for now.” She made up her mind that she would try her best no matter what would happen to her and Jacob.
Emily did not stay in the cemetery for a long time. The death of her parents had always been a subject of great pain to her. The mere thought of Tina used to fill her up with hate. But then, she stopped carrying that hateful poison with her. She seemed to have lost all her strength and her ability to hate. Jacob was the only focal point of her priorities. All she wanted was for him to live a happy life. Only by solving the problem caused by Sean, could she really settle down and think about something else.
Soon Emily left the cemetery with Beryl.
On the way back, Emily suddenly thought of a man and asked the driver to take them to a luxury private hospital. Before long, they arrived at the gate of the hospital. After hesitating for a moment, Emily bought flowers and fruits near the hospital, and then went inside the hospital building with Beryl.
”Mommy, are we here to visit a patient?” Beryl seemed puzzled.
”Yes,” Emily answered. ”Beryl, do you remember Uncle Jack?”
Beryl nodded her head excitedly. ”Yes! He saved me and took me to my father!”
”That's right.” Emily found out about what had happened to Beryl from Jacob. She wanted to see Jack because he had gotten injured while protecting Beryl. 'Although Jack has hurt us before, I can't deny the fact that he put his own life in danger while trying to save Beryl. If anything, I'm not here to forgive his past sins, but to thank him.'
”So we're here to visit Uncle Jack, aren't we?” Beryl tilted her a little and took a guess.
Emily nodded at Beryl and then asked the nurse about Jack's ward. When they arrived at his ward, they were unexpectedly stopped at the door before they could even get in.
Several bodyguards dressed in black stood guard at the door of the ward, like statues, expressionless and stock-still. But if someone tried to get close to the ward, they would be stopped immediately.
”No visitors allowed. Strict orders from Master Jack. He doesn't want to see anyone,” said one of the bodyguards.
Emily's face remained calm and unchanged. ”Oh, he'll definitely see me. Please tell your master that it's Emily.” The bodyguard wouldn't have made any further responses to Emily had it not been for the look of certainty and determination on her face. He stared her down quickly and then went inside to inform Jack.
In less than a minute, the bodyguard rushed out and politely said to Emily, ”I'm so
I hadn't pushed Beryl away?”
