Chapter 846 Dont Be Disgraced Here (1/2)

Emily went to visit Carol at the psychiatric hospital after making a full recovery.

Unfortunately, Carol could no longer recognize the woman she loved to call her daughter. No more than eight feet in any dimension, the inside of Carol's cell was an eerie and somewhat grotesque testament to the woman's sudden headlong plunge into madness. She sat on her chair, dull eyes completely devoid of hope, muttering incoherent words from time to time.

Emily listened carefully and heard the names, Cloris and Sean. Judging from the look on Emily's face, it wasn't hard to determine that it wasn't easy for her to see Carol like this. Finding it hard to come to terms with the tragedy, Emily stood outside for a long time instead of entering the ward.

Emily lowered her head and wiped the tears that escaped the corners of her eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Alfred stopped her.

It was never about the money for her and even if it were, no amount of money could compensate for the amount of pain and suffering her family had gone through because of the Lu family.

”No, there's no need for that,” she politely refused. Then she turned round and left.

Emily thought it would be best for the both of them if she did not go to visit Carol again in the future.

What happened to Carol before brought her considerable psychological trauma and physical harm.

Jacob felt sorry to see Emily so utterly disappointed and heartbroken. He thought about calling Rita to keep her company, and just then Rita showed up, unexpectedly.

However, her eyes looked swollen and red. It was clear that something wasn't right. Emily had never seen her so sad, so she quickly pulled her into the room to have a talk.

”Rita, what's wrong with you? Tell me what happened. Did something happen between you and David?” asked Emily.

Rita bit her lip and suddenly broke into tears, like there was to
