Chapter 813 It Is All His Fault
Jara said in a deep voice, "Last night, I told you that I would find a chance to send her away. By that time, she will never appear in front of you again, let alone posing any threat to you. So, you don't have to do this to her. If you continue to act this way, it will make you seem..."
Suddenly, he paused.
As if his words had stabbed her heart, Emmeline could feel a dull pain in her chest.
While pressing her lips together, she looked at him motionlessly.
A moment later, she asked in a deep voice, "Make me seem what? Spit it out!"
Jara's expression turned colder.
With that, he decided to be frank, "It will make you seem unfamiliar, annoying, and petty like you never did. You are aware that both of you are from different worlds. No matter what, she won't be able to fight against you."
"So, why do you have to go against such a harmless person like her? Why don't you let her go and give yourself peace of mind instead?"
Hearing that, Emmeline froze.
It never occurred to her that one day, he would say this to her.
She wanted to explain herself, but the moment she moved her lips, she was at a loss for words.
All of a sudden, she thought that the whole situation was ironic.
As she stared at Jara with disappointment, she sneered, "So, this is how I am to you. Fine. Remember what you've said today. One day, you will realize how foolish you're right now."
After that, she turned away and left in her wheelchair.
On the other hand, Jara stood where he was, not chasing after her.
As he watched the departing figure, his eyes darkened.
Enraged, Emmeline went straight back to the room.
After slamming the door, she was still burning with rage. So, she vented her anger by kicking the edge of the bed vigorously.
However, the bed was remaining fine in its corner. On the contrary, there was a heart-wrenching pain coming from her leg.
Usually, Emmeline could bear all kinds of pain. Unfortunately, this time, she couldn't help but held her leg and hissed in pain.
D*mn it!
She forgot that her leg was injured.
In the meantime, Yunne returned after finishing her errands outside. The moment she saw Emmeline covering her leg with her face scrunched up, she rushed in anxiously.
"Miss Illington, are you okay?"
Wrapping her hands around her leg, Emmeline cursed herself inwardly.
What a foolish woman! Why did she forget about her leg injury?
Normally, she wouldn't be that careless. It was all Jara's fault!
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth in annoyance. On the other hand, seeing that Emmeline didn't speak, Yunne was panicked. "Hang on! I'll bring the doctor."
Right away, Yunne got up and ran to the door.
Nonetheless, before she went out, Emmeline shouted, "Come back here!"
When Yunne turned back, she saw Emmeline's face was pale.
"Miss Illington..."
"Stay here!"
Then, Emmeline assured, "I'm fine. It's just a minor bump."
After that, she rubbed the place where she had been hit.
Seeing that, Yunne walked back to her with suspicion.
"Miss Illington, what's wrong?"
Even though Yunne was incautious most of the time, she could tell that this time, something was off with Emmeline.
Normally, no matter what happened, Emmeline would be calm and cool-headed.
But now, she wasn't fully composed. Besides, there was a trace of anger and anxiety on her expression, which was something that Yunne had never seen before.
Even when Keira had died, she was furious, but her expression was not as complicated as it was now.
Hearing Yunne's voice, Emmeline looked up at her.
After a moment of silence, she responded, "Nothing."
Then, her eyes drooped. For the first time, she looked aggrieved.
When Yunne saw that, her heart ached.
Right away, she walked to Emmeline, squatted down next to her, and consoled, "Miss Illington, although I am just a servant and have no right to concern you, do tell me if you need my help. As long as I have the ability to, I will ease your burden."
After that, she paused for a moment before she whispered, "If you don't mind, I can lend you my ears too."
Hearing that, Emmeline looked up at Yunne.
All of a sudden, she smiled.
Her gaze was tender and touched like never before.
"What are you talking about? Why would I mind?"
As she spoke, she reached out her hand and gestured Yunne to stand up.
Then, she continued, "Do you think we are still living in the old society? Nowadays, being a servant isn't inferior. It is just like any other ordinary job where you can make money using your own ability. Although I don't have to serve others, I am just a guest here. In terms of rank, I couldn't even compare myself with you."
Speaking of this, Emmeline looked outside the window, and her eyes were filled with sadness.
Instantly, Yunne moved her eyes and pondered. What had happened today? Why did Emmeline become like this?
Having no idea, she said cautiously, "Please don't say that, Miss Illington. Don't you feel it? Mr. Holland treats you differently."
As soon as Emmeline heard Jara's name, her brows were puckered deeply.
At once, rage overtook her calm face.
"Don't mention him!"
Seeing how infuriated Emmeline was, Yunne was dumbfounded.
"I have nothing to do with him, and I don't want to hear his name anymore, so don't say such words to me next time," Emmeline sneered.
To that, Yunne was a little surprised.
As far as she knew, the two of them were fine before today.
However, on second thought, she remembered that yesterday, Emmeline saw Jara and Kayla in the boxing gym. With that, she finally got a grasp of the situation.
So, she smiled. "Well, if that's what you wish, I will not mention him. In this case, you shouldn't be sad about those unrelated things anymore. I think it's time for your medication. I'll bring your pills here."
To that, Emmeline did not refuse and nodded.
Soon, Yunne returned with the capsules.
Doctor Cooke was the one who prescribed these two kinds of medicines and advised Emmeline to take one before her meal and the other after her meal.
Since it was noon, she was supposed to take a pill before her lunch.
Emmeline took the pink-white pill from Yunne's hand, tossed it into her mouth, then took a sip of water and swallowed it.
As Yunne stared at Emmeline, her eyes darkened.
Later, Emmeline went to the dining room with Yunne.
After having lunch, she felt tired, so she went back to her room for a rest.
It was great weather to take a nap.
Lying in the bed, Emmeline was sleeping soundly, but suddenly, there were noises outside.
