Chapter 398
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Clara frowned, âYou just donât get it! Anyway, I canât go back with you.â
Emmett looked up at her, narrowing his eyes slightly, âWhat? Do you still want to be with Elio?â
âNo! If I wanted to, I couldâve left the hospital when you were unconscious! Emmett, stop blaming Elio.
My decision to not go back with you has nothing to do with him.â
Emmettâs face turned pale, his lips losing their color.
He lifted his head slightly and asked, âDo you still consider yourself Mrs. Melendez of the Melendez family? Do you think Iâm still going to spoil you?â
âThatâs not it. Listen to me, Emmett.â
âMatt, take her away. I donât want to hear her anymore.â
âYes, Mr. Melendez.â
Emmett didnât pay attention to her words; he stood up and left the hospital room.
Clara wanted to protest, but Emmett didnât give her the chance!
âIâm sorry, Clara, please.â
Emmett took Clara away.
After hanging up the phone, Elio kept pacing around in his room, making Nestor dizzy âElio, what the hell happened?â
âEmmett might want to take revenge on Clara!â Elio stopped pacing and looked at Nestor, âWhat should we do? No way!. I have to save her!â
Just as he finished his words, he reached for his car keys, but Nestor quickly stopped him, âElio, why are you stirring up trouble with Emmett now? Clara wonât be harmed by him. At most, he will just ignore her. Emmett still cares about Clara; he knows his limits, but youâre different. Youâre a dangerous rival in Emmettâs eyes! The person he wants to get rid of the most is you! Arenât you just walking into the lionâs den?â
âYou donât understand men like Emmett with such arrogance how could he allow Clara to betray him? If it were only Emmett at home, it would be okay, but Leah is always watching her too! Clara is between a rock and a hard place, no matter what! I canât just stand by and watch her suffer!â
âBut you going there wonât change anything.â Nestor stood in front of the door, blocking his way, âElio, I know you really like Clara, but you need to be rational! Not only canât you save her now, but youâll just put yourself in danger! Not only is Leah keeping an eye on Clara, but sheâs also watching you! You know all about the formula and Leah kidnapping two members of the Melendez family. If you were Leah, wouldnât you want to get rid of everyone who knows?â
âElio, listen to me. Wait here and see how things develop; if you really have to intervene, it wonât be too late to save Clara then.â
âI canât do anything. Clara is already alone; if I become a coward now, sheâll truly be on her own!â Elio clenched his fists, staring at Nestorâs concerned eyes, âNestor, know youâre looking out for me, but Iâve made my decision. Clara is my choice. Let me go. I canât rest here! Even if I canât go now, Iâll find the opportunity to leave; if not today, then tomorrow!â
