Chapter 1015 A Broken Heart (1/2)

It would have been him there with Emily instead of Ray if fate hadn't been so cruel.

His cold and steady gaze hardened. Having seen no romantic intimacy between Ray and Emily, the man slowly took his phone out to make a phone call. After what seemed like a very short conversation, he hung up as he walked away and left quietly.

Ray couldn't bear to see Emily like this. He had always known her for being a strong and independent woman. In fact, he had never seen her cry so hard before.

And yet here she was, a heartbroken woman, devoid of hope, all because of a man he detested with all his heart.

Emily had bottled up her feelings for so long that she couldn't take it anymore, and today her emotions had finally overpowered her. At first, she had thought that perhaps she would feel better if she allowed her tears to wash away her sorrows, but unfortunately, no amount of tears could wash away the pain that was engraved in her heart.

Although Emily was now in Ray's arms, she was still trying to maintain some distance from him. This obviously didn't sit well with Ray, but Emily remained resilient on her stance, especially because she considered him to be her brother.

”It is all right, everything will be fine...”

Ray didn't know whether his words were better suited for Emily or himself. He could feel a sense of exhaustion in his own hoarse voice.

”Thank you...”

After a while, she raised her hand and poked his arm. ”I am sorry... for ruining your shirt,” she whispered.

Emily's voice sounded a little hoarse as well, but it must have been due to the crying. She coughed to clear her throat, and when she spoke, she had the soft, nasal tone of a child. This only helped to increase Ray's concern.
