Chapter 42 Childhood Friendship (2/2)

”That is Jonas,” Nelson said, trailing his fingers across the photograph. ”This picture was taken when he was little.

Although Emily's injuries were mild and she was recuperating, the doctors had instructed her to rest in the hospital. The next day, when Jonas went to see Emily, he saw that her ward was filled with flowers and fruit baskets. He guessed that someone had come to see her.

”Jonas, you are here.”

Emily beamed with joy.

”Are you feeling better?”

Jonas placed the bag of fruits on the table and sat on the chair next to her.

”I'm okay. I know that you have a lot of work to do. You don't have to come here every day,” Emily said thoughtfully.

She knew that Jonas had just returned from a holiday and that he had to catch up with work.

Although Emily enjoyed the attention, she didn't want him to ignore his work.

”It's okay, I'll manage. You are more important to me than work. You rest well and take care of yourself. Don't think unnecessarily and trouble your mind.”

”Thank you, Jonas.” Emily smiled gratefully.

She knew that she was different in Jonas's heart.

Nelson found that Jonas had been taking care of Emily. He could understand his concern but became frustrated when he saw Jonas going to the hospital every day to see her. Nelson tried stopping him but Jonas ignored him.

William came to the hospital to pick Jonas up. He informed him about what Nelson said.

”You take care of everything in the hospital. I don't want anything bad to happen.”

William nodded politely. He wouldn't disobey Jonas.

Jonas knew that his grandfather despised Emily. He thought that Nelson would slowly warm to her but he was firm with his decision. He wasn't ready to accept her.

Emily couldn't do anything. She had no choice but to wait until Nelson accepted her. She didn't want to do anything that would potentially ruin her chances with Jonas.

She knew that she had to win Nelson's trust if she wanted to be with Jonas.

But no one could replace Melinda's position in Nelson's heart. She would always be his favorite daughter-in-law.
