Chapter 350
Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love
Although Eason was perplexed by Susanâs evident anxiety, he made a point to seek out Emma.
Emmaâs door was firmly shut.
Eason tried calling and knocking, but there was no response from inside.
Frowning, Eason figured Emma might not be home.
He was on his way to tell Susan when suddenly, something caught his eye, causing his pupils to widen in surprise.
Emmaâs window was wide open.
There she sat on the windowsill, quietly.
Dressed in white, her feet dangling, she made no further movement.
Despite everything, a sudden jolt raced through Easonâs heart.
He couldnât see Emmaâs expression clearly.
But the image of her leaping from the window inexplicably flashed through his mind.
His heart suddenly picked up pace.
Without thinking, Eason rushed back upstairs.
Emmaâs door was still closed.
In this emergency, Eason didnât hesitate to call a professional to forcefully open the door.
Despite the noise at the door, Emma showed no reaction.
Eason hurried to the windowsill.
Emergency calls Olym There was Emma, still sitting quietly.
Eason approached softly and then swiftly lifted her off the sill.
Entering the room so abruptly would usually startle anyone.
However, Emma didnât react at all.
As she turned her head and saw it was Eason, her expression remained completely undisturbed.
âOh, itâs Eason,â she thought calmly, then sank back into silence.
âWhat were you thinking?â Eason asked, still shaken.
Emma silently glanced at Eason.
Then, she simply walked over and sat down on the couch.
She flipped on the TV and landed on the kidsâ channel.
On the screen, a merry tune was playing, with the lyrics âTwinkle, twinkle, little star.â
A bunch of little stars were shining in the sky.
Emma was watching intently, not even blinking.
Eason felt a bit baffled.
He couldnât help but walk over, âIâm talking to you.â
Emma ignored him and kept watching TV.
Eason frowned, feeling something off about Emma today.
TL IA ZAMA carmt?
Emergency calls only Just then, there came a knock at the door.
Emma kept her eyes glued to the TV, not changing her expression.
Eason hesitated, then went to answer the door.
âMiss Garcia, are you alright?â
As soon as the door opened, a middleâaged woman with glasses spoke, somewhat out of breath.
Clearly, she had run up here.
Seeing Eason, she paused, âYou areâ¦â
Eason glanced at Emma on the sofa.
With an extra person in the room, Emma seemed oblivious as if the television was all that mattered.
Eason shifted his gaze, speaking in a deep voice, âIâm her boyfriend.â
He glanced at Emma.
Sure enough, Emma had no reaction.
âBoyfriend?â The woman in glasses seemed shocked.
Eason took on a hostâs demeanor, âAnd you are.
The woman glanced at Emma.
Emma neither denied nor confirmed, just focused on the TV.
âCome on in,â Eason motioned her inside.
The woman hesitated, then stepped in.
onlyMO mergency calls only She first checked on Emmaâs condition.
Seeing that Emma was just quietly watching TV, without any further selfâharm, he breathed a sigh of relief.
âDo you know Emma? I donât think Iâve seen you before,â Eason initiated the conversation.
The woman with glasses glanced at Eason, hesitating a bit.
Eason caught on, âShould we talk in the study?â
She nodded in agreement.
In the study, they deliberately left the door open.
This way, they could chat and keep an eye on Emma at the same time.
âDo you know about Emmaâs condition?â the woman asked.
Eason really wanted to say he didnât.
But he pretended to be wellâinformed.
He sighed softly and said, âIâm her boyfriend. Of course, I know about her condition.â
The woman looked at Eason gently, âIâm Emmaâs doctor, you can call me Dr. Thompson. Knowing Emmaâs situation and still wanting to be with her, I believe you must love her deeply.â
âEmmaâs doctor?â
Easonâs eyebrows twitched, continuing to probe, âDr. Thompson, could you please tell me the extent of Emmaâs condition?â
Dr. Thompson didnât notice anything amiss and took out Emmaâs medical record, placing it in front of Eason.
âThis little house of Emma, even her parents donât know about it. She told you about this place, so you Emergency calls Ul must be very important to her. Maybe, you can help her out of the darkness.â
Eason calmly took the medical record and looked at it.
Then, his pupils shrank slightly.
âSevere depression? Emma had depression?â
In his view, Emma was just a bit timid and a bit introverted.
He didnât expect her heart to be engulfed in darkness.
Dr. Thompson continued, âEmma has been sick for about four years. Her condition has been fluctuating over the years. When sheâs well, she seems almost normal. When sheâs not, she has a strong aversion to life. She decided to live alone, which I was really worried about, so I made a deal with her. Every day, she must report to me on WhatsApp at a certain time. If she doesnât, it means her condition might have relapsed.â
âSo, thatâs why you came over so quickly,â Eason said.
Dr. Thompson gave a bitter smile, âI was really scared.â
She opened Emmaâs medical record for Eason to see, âActually, Emma hadnât had an episode for over a year. I thought she was getting better. This time, I donât know what triggered her sudden relapse.
Youâre her boyfriend. Do you have any clues?â
Easonâs brow twitched.
Dr. Thompson reminded him, âLike, has anything special happened recently?â
Eason hesitated for a moment.
He thought to himself, âWas it a special thing, him pursuing Emma? Could it be that Emmaâs illness relapsed because of him?â
Eason couldnât help but feel a wave of guilt.
Emergency call wing â
âI had made the move to pursue Emma only to cover up a lie for Penny. If my pursuit had caused trouble for Emma, even leading to the relapse of her illness, wouldnât I be the troublemaker?â Eason thought.
âwhat are you t about?â Dr. Thompson asked further.
Eason hesitated for a moment and chose to be honest, âDr. Thompson, Iâm sorry. I lied to you just now.
Actually, Iâm not Emmaâs boyfriend. Iâm just pursuing her. Maybe her sudden relapse is because she really dislikes me.â
Dr. Thompson looked at Eason with some surprise.
Eason sincerely said, âIâm really sorry. But, Iâm willing to do my utmost to make amends.â
Eason thought to himself that Emmaâs situation was entirely his fault. He felt compelled to step up and take responsibility, as it was the right thing to do.
