Chapter 986 Emily Confronted Michelle (2/2)
Emily blamed herself for letting her dear daughter go through so many hardships at such a young age. She also felt sorry for herself for always leaving Bowen to be taken care of by a nanny. Because she did not spend more time with him, Bowen had not recognized her right away.
”Mommy, Mommy! At last, you're here! Did you already see Daddy? He's badly ill and can't remember us! I'm so scared!” Beryl said crying.
Overwhelmed by the same feeling of hopelessness, Emily closed her eyes and held her children tighter. Beryl's words were like a sword, stabbing her heart a thousand times, and the pain spread from her heart to all parts of her body. But this was not the time to be weak! She had to bite her tongue, set her jaw
have no right to decide what I should and should not do. I am a friend of Jacob. Since I've done big favors for you, as you said earlier, you better watch your attitude and show some respect!” With her arms crossed over her chest, Michelle gave Emily a hostile stare, unwilling to back down.
”Here you are, Michelle! Rita's woken up and wants to see you now.” David's voice interrupted the tense atmosphere.
Without batting his eyelashes, David gazed at Michelle, commanding her with his look to leave the room. Before, he had been delighted when they had found Michelle. But now, she was getting on his nerves. He secretly wished that they had never found her.
The moment Rita woke up, he came to notify Emily right away. He believed that Emily would want to see Rita. But instead of surprising Emily, he was the one surprised! Surprised to find Michelle arguing with Emily. He thought Michelle had left to deal with the business. But realization hit him. He couldn't believe that Michelle had a crush on Jacob. He felt his temples throbbing, and he was sure that it would be followed by a terrible headache!
”Really? I'm going to her now!” Michelle shouted excitedly and left without any further ado.
At the same time, Emily's eyes also widened with delight. She was already on the move to Rita's ward but was stopped by David. ”One second, Emily,” he said hurriedly.
Looking confused, Emily stopped. Just by looking at David's expression, she realized what he wanted to say. Having been friends with him for a long time, Emily understood and knew his thoughts with just one glance.
”I heard Michelle, and I'm so sorry. But can you do me a favor? Please don't tell Rita about it now. She's still too weak to take it,” David asked earnestly.
Asking that favor, David knew he had to do it. He knew that Rita would flare up the moment she learned that her younger sister was trying to put her foot in their best friends' marriage. She would never allow such a thing to happen and would move heaven and earth to stop Michelle. And David was scared to see it. Furthermore, Rita and Michelle had just met each other, and they were still in the getting-to-know-each-other stage. On top of everything that had happened, Rita had just escaped the jaws of death and couldn't afford to take such a hit now.
