Soon the car stopped in front of the hospital.
Emmettâs mother unbuckled her seat belt and waved her hand at Emmett. âWell, you go first.â
âMom,â he called out to her, his hand clenched into a tighter grip on the steering wheel. âWhat do you think will make something go wrong with the test results?â
She thought he was worried about his fatherâs medical examination results, so she comforted, âDonât worry. When your father had his medical examination, I was right next to him. It wouldn't go wrong. Stop overthinking it. Go back.â
Emmett just nodded and said, âThen I will leave first.â
Instead of trusting Clarence, he was more willing to trust his mother.
Then he drove away to another hospital.
In a ward, Daniel was packing his things.
Emmett walked over quickly and asked, âWhat are you doing?â
Daniel replied, âItâs almost time for me to be discharged.â
Emmett frowned and asked, âDid the doctor agree?â
âYes.â Daniel changed the subject, asking, âYou went to see Clarence?â
Hearing this, Emmett became serious and nodded.
Daniel knew what kind of man Clarence was. Emmett must have been taunted by Clarence when apologizing.
So he reached out and patted Emmettâs shoulder. âWell, since Miss Radomil and Clarence are married, you should let go and stop targeting at him.â
âAmandaâs whereabouts in City N was really suspicious and I just suspected...â Emmett said.
âIf you did not hold a grudge against him, you would never have said it in front of Miss Radomil without solid evidence,â Daniel said.
Emmett was speechless for a moment, sitting down and pressing his brows.
He had always been an upright man. But when it came to matters related to Stella and Clarence, he could not help but become...
He knew that Clarence was better than him in every way, so he could only watch Stella being snatched away.
How could he not hate Clarence?
Daniel said, âWell, letâs go. I donât want to stay in this place full of disinfectant anymore.â
Emmett looked up at him and asked, âWhat do you plan to do after this?â
âWhat do you mean?â Daniel asked.
âAre you planning to stay in City N or... are you going back to London?â
Hearing this, Daniel paused for a while.
Emmett continued, âIf you continue to stay in City N, it's alright. If you're going back to London, I want you to do me a favor.â
Since Emmett rarely made such requests, Daniel got interested and sat next to him. âSpit it out.â
âJust do the paternity test again for Channing and William,â Emmett said.
Daniel got stunned. âDid you find something out?â
Emmett shook his head. âNo. Well, it was Clarence...who said a lot of things. Although I do not believe him, I donât feel at ease if I cannot get a confirmation. Whatâs more... even if it is just retaliation, there is no reason for him to choose this matter.â
âThe paternity test was done by you, so he suspects that you had faked the result?â
Emmett sighed, âHe did not directly and explicitly say that he suspected me. But he kept finding trouble with me and involved my mother in this matter. If the paternity test can be done again, my mother will be clear.â
Daniel said, âI got it. But...when the result came out back then, I felt that it was indeed quite strange. Jeffery and Channing just don't seem like father and son.â
After a pause, he added, âI am going back to London to handle some things.â
...
In the evening, Stella was staring dully at the blank draft book when someone knocked gently on the office door.
She thought it was Sherry who came to ask her to go home. So she packed up the things in front of her while saying, âSherry, wait for me. I will...â
While saying that, she looked up and saw an upright figure at the door.
Meeting her eyes, Clarence slightly raised his eyebrows.
She was surprised but a bit happy. Looking at the time, she found that it was not yet seven oâclock. âWhy are you here?â
He said, âI came to pick you up from work.â
âAre you done so early today?â she asked.
âNo,â he replied.
She asked, âThen...â
He replied, âLet's date.â
At these words, she was stunned at first but soon gave a bright smile.
When they left, Sherry stood at the door with an envious look.
After a while, it was time to get off work. When all the young girls at the studio left one by one, she locked the studio door. While clapping her hands to get off the dust, she heard a low male voice from behind her. âSherry.â
She froze for a few second and then turned her head. âAre not you in the hospital? How...â
Daniel replied, âI was discharged from the hospital.â
âOh.â
Since he was discharged from the hospital, it meant his injury was no longer that serious.
âDidnât you boyfriend come to pick you up?â
She just could not tell him that they had broken up.
She replied, âWell, he has work to do. Itâs not that far, so I can walk home.â
He looked ahead in silence and then suddenly said, âI will walk you home.â

He just walked forward towards her place without giving any explanation.
She stood in place for a few seconds and then followed him.
Along the way, they had nothing to say. The atmosphere seemed awkward.
Just when she was thinking about something with her head down, he said, âI am going back to London.â
Her head jerked up and she looked at him. He was staring ahead with a calm face.
After a while, she said, âWell, thatâs good. Anyway, you are not a local in City N. So going back to the place where you belong is...â
He asked, âDo you really want me to leave?â
She smiled to herself and said, âIt seems to have nothing to do with me. I have no reason to make you stay. If I ask you to stay, will you truly...â
He stopped walking, looked at her and said slowly, âAs long as you ask, I wonât leave.â
He interrupted her before she could finish her words. Hearing this, she froze in place. She then asked in confusion, âWhat?â
He repeated word by word, âAs long as you ask, I wonât leave.â
After a long while, she smiled, âI wish you a good journey. When you are back here in the future, I'll buy you dinner. At least we are friends. So I should act like a good friend here in City N.â
He withdrew his eyes and said in a hushed voice, âLetâs go.â
