Chapter 797 You Two Are So Noisy! (1/2)

After Carol finished, her hands slowly slipped down from Emily's face. Through the misty veil that surround her eyes, Carol looked at Emily and imparting with a sweet smile she stepped into the comforting folds of darkness.

Suddenly, the shock unhinged Emily. The emptiness in her heart, the numbness pounding her brain, the shear nothingness that now took hold of her soul threatened to engulf her entirely. Motionless, she sat there, staring into the face of the woman whose face was turning pale.

Never in her wildest imaginations did she expect that the woman who only took her in as an adopted daughter a few years ago would willingly put her own life at risk to save hers, while the mother who raised her would only ask her for money and eventually betrayed her.

Why did Mrs. Lu do this? Why did Mrs. Lu treat her so well? Was Emily even deserving of such unconditional love?

”Mom!”

Emily held Carol tightly as the pain in her heart came out with gasping wails of desperation. The salty tears that flowed unchecked from her eyes, fell on Carol's face.

Within minutes the air was filled with the familiar wail of ambulance sirens and rushed Mrs. Lu to the nearest hospital as fast as they could.

Even after the light in the operating room lit up, the shock in Emily's eyes was undeniable, plunging her into a whirlpool of fear and denial.

”Emily, don't worry. Auntie will be fine. You should have faith so that she will make it. And please, don't put too much pressure on yourself.”

Tyron tried to comfort Emily with his words. Having seen the helplessness in her face as she stood outside the operating room, drained of all hope, he took her to sit on a chair.

”Are you sure? How can you be sure that she will be fine?” Emily refused to look away from the door of the operating room, even as her lips trembled and her shoulders heaved with emotion, unwilling to back down.

She cried until no more tears came, but still the emptiness and sorrow remained. Her swollen eyes and tear-soaked face was heartbreaking.

Tyron fought the urge to put his arms around her shoulders and hold her into his arms, as he was afraid of overstepping his bounds, so he drew his hands back.
