This was also one of the reasons why Hugh Taylor agreed to Ethan Smithâs request.
The next day.
After Emily Taylor woke up, she drove out of the hotel.
She and Hugh Taylor agreed to meet in Shiglance City in three days.
For these three days, Emily Taylor wanted to accompany Ethan Smith and be with him no matter what he did.
After Emily Taylor left, Hugh Taylor stood upstairs, watching the car slowly leave.
âCato, take a few people and secretly protect Emilyâs safety.â Hugh Taylor took a puff of his cigar and said casually.
âYes, Mr. Taylor.â Cato Cain nodded and went out.
As soon as she entered the room, Emily Taylor smiled and said, âEthan, are you
Before she could finish her sentence, Emily Taylorâs face turned cold.
Thatâs because she saw countless wounds all over Ethan Smithâs body! His face was even swollen beyond recognition!
Emily Taylorâs face was cold as ice. She looked at Ethan Smith and asked coldly, âWho did this?â
Ethan Smith waved his hand and smiled, âIâm fine, I just accidentally bumped myself.â
âWho did this!â Emily Taylorâs voice grew colder, making Ethan Smith feel a chill.
Ethan Smith didnât know how to explain. He couldnât say it was Hugh Taylor, could he?
Unfortunately, Emily Taylor was very smart and quickly guessed who it was.
âMy father did this, didnât he?â Emily Taylor stared at Ethan Smith and asked.
Ethan Smith didnât say anything, tacitly admitting.
Emily Taylor was furious. She took out her phone and was about to call Hugh Taylor.
Ethan Smith quickly stopped her and shook his head, âMiss Taylor, donât blame
Uncle Taylor; honestly, I⦠Iâm grateful to him.â
âGrateful?â Emily Taylor was stunned, seemingly not understanding what Ethan Smith meant.
Ethan Smith smiled, âReally, he agreed to give me a year to prove myself.â Even so, Emily Taylor was still a bit unhappy.
She reached out and touched Ethan Smithâs face, feeling heartbroken, âHow could he beat you up like this? Itâs too much.â
âIâm not in pain, really,â Ethan Smith shook his head.
âSilly,â Emily Taylor gave Ethan Smith a glance.
Then, she made a phone call to the front desk, and soon the reception sent up some medicine.
âSit still here and bear with the pain.â Emily Taylor said while holding the medicine.
Ethan Smith felt a bit embarrassed, but his heart was exceptionally warm.
From childhood to now, Ethan Smith had endured countless bullying, but no one had ever cared if he was in pain, let alone applied medicine to his wounds.
Emily Taylorâs appearance brought Ethan Smith warmth and light time and time again.
He obediently sat on the edge of the bed and accepted Emily Taylorâs intimate care.
Emily Taylor took the medicine and carefully applied it to Ethan Smithâs wounds.
âDoes it hurt?â Emily Taylor asked softly as she applied the medicine.
Ethan Smith quickly said, âNoâ¦it doesnât.â
Being so close made Ethan Smith extremely nervous.
And the faint fragrance on Emily Taylor made him almost intoxicated.
He took a deep breath, carefully smelling Emily Taylorâs orchid-like breath.
At this moment, concern and heartache filled Emily Taylorâs cold and holy face, which made Ethan Smith laugh out loud.
Emily Taylor rolled her eyes, âGot beaten to look like a pig head, and you still laugh.â
Ethan Smith scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly.
After applying the medicine, Emily Taylor drove Ethan Smith out to eat a meal.
After finishing the meal, Emily Taylor asked, âDo you have plans for the next few days?â
âSouth City Auction? What do you want to buy?â Emily Taylor couldnât help but be surprised.
âI want to try my luck and see if there are any top-grade herbs.â Ethan Smith said sheepishly.
Emily Taylor nodded, pondering, âSouth City Auction has a large scale, Iâve heard of it in Capital City.â
âIn that case, letâs go to South City now!â Emily Taylor started the car right away and drove towards South City.
At this time, the entire Shiglance City was discussing the fall of Hill family.
As a prestigious family in Chuzzle, the news of Hillâs incident quickly made it to the headlines.
The news was overwhelming, covering the downfall of the Hill family.
For example, âThe Ten Sins of Hill Family,â âThe Negative Impact of Hill Family on Chuzzle,â and so on.
For a while, the Hill familyâs reputation was universally denounced and condemned.
Those who had previously had relationships with the Hill family were quick to distance themselves, fearing getting implicated.
South City, a coastal place.
Rich and beautiful, it was an excellent place to cultivate oneâs skills.
Currently, Ethan Smith had two billion in loans, so he wasnât too worried.
After five hours of driving, they finally arrived at South City.
As soon as he got out of the car, Ethan Smith couldnât help taking a deep breath.
Compared to Shiglance City, the air in South City was incredibly fresh!
Ethan Smith slightly closed his eyes, trying to feel the qi around him.
Just as expected, South Cityâs qi far surpassed River City and Shiglance City!
âItâs really a great place. When I have the opportunity, I must settle down in South City,â Ethan Smith thought to himself.
At this time, it was already 6 0âclock in the evening, and the auction would start at 8 0âclock.
So, Emily Taylor suggested, âLetâs go find a place to eat first. What do you want to eat?â
As a man, Ethan Smith didnât have the nerve to say what he wanted to eat. So he shook his head and said, âIâm fine with anything.â
Emily Taylor gently patted Ethan Smithâs head and rolled her eyes, âIf you want to eat something, just say it. Donât be coy like a little girl..â
