Chapter 1421 An Unexpected Encounter (2/2)

Darren just watched her with an amused expression on his face. Even though she looked away now, he had caught her staring at him multiple times.

Bonnie was still too embarrassed and angry to say a word, but Darren acted as if nothing had happened. He pointed at the chopsticks in Bonnie's hand and said, ”You must have eaten before I came back. There are so many dishes left. If I don't eat them, they will go to waste.”

It was not like Darren to wear that innocent look. Anybody who was familiar with him knew that he only had a limited number of facial expressions, and an innocent one was not one of them.

It was the first time for Bonnie to see Darren acting like a spoiled child, which was a little different from her impression of him.

But she did not hate it. She ignored the but

over her like sea waves. She simply stood there, tired and hollow.

She could feel the pain threatening her knees to buckle. She struggled against it. For the sake of her children, she would get herself better. She would beat her illness.

With a complicated look on her face, Taylor looked at Emily and asked, ”Can you handle it?” Emily snapped back to her senses. After a short hesitation, she slowly nodded. Her expression was firm, as if she had decided that no matter how difficult the world was, she would not break.

This was the power of maternal love.

Emily finally took the first step, followed by the second, and then the third... She slowly closed the distance between herself and her children. The walk felt like it was taking forever. Emily felt like a mermaid princess who had just gained human legs and was now setting foot on strange human lands, willing to face anything for those she loved. She could hear her heartbeat in her ears guided by a clear voice that told her to make things right for her children.

Seeing his sister approaching, Louis was both surprised and worried. Locking gazes with Taylor made him even more worried. He knew that if Emily relapsed now, all the previous efforts at making her better would be in vain.
