Chapter 120 She Must Understand
However, she felt a bit disappointed. If only she had waited one more day to arrange it.
"Understood," Fiona responded.
Outside the emergency room of the hospital. , Darwin held his phone, burdened with guilt. He didn't want to lie to Fiona, but he felt like he had no choice.
"Why couldn't you quietly marry someone else? Why did you have to boastfully tell her? Didn't I tell you that she attempted suicide because of this before? Mr. Solomon, do you even have a heart?" Mia leaned against the wall, frustratedly questioning Darwin.
"You knew that she still loves you. If I hadn't come home early today, she wouldn't have had a chance at being saved!!"
"That's enough!" Darwin scolded in a low voice.
Mia trembled in fear. The lights in the emergency room turned off.
The doctor came out and said, "The medicine in her stomach has been pumped out. Let's move her to the observation room for further examination."
"Thank you, doctor!" Mia quickly replied.
Not long after, Lilian woke up in the VIP ward. Her complexion was even paler than before, her lips slightly purple, her eye sockets red, and her gaze empty.
"Lilian, you finally woke up! You scared me!" Mia threw herself onto her, crying softly.
Lilian stared at the ceiling with empty eyes. "Why did you save me again? He's getting married, and I have no meaning left in this world."
Darwin sat by the bedside. Upon hearing this, he unintentionally furrowed his brows.
"Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Solomon cares about you. As soon as he heard about your accident, he rushed over!" Mia hurriedly comforted, "Look, he's right by your side now!"
Lilian was momentarily stunned. Then she looked towards Darwin.
"Darwin?" After calling his name, she suddenly appeared embarrassed, "Why are you here? I'm fine. It was just an accident. I miscounted the number of pills. I didn't want to die..."
Darwin's expression turned unpleasant. In his memory, the previous Lilian was so vivid, but now, the current Lilian was unbelievable and chilling to look at. How much torment had she endured to become like this?
"I know. Of course, you didn't want to die." Darwin stood up and gently patted Lilian's shoulder, offering a gentle reassurance, "You were just sick. Once you recover, everything will be fine."
Lilian stiffened. Then she lifted her arm to cover her eyes and sobbed.
Emma had just returned to the country two days ago.
She crashed her car into a bridge pillar, totaling the vehicle and breaking her arm. With a bulky cast, she was soon transferred to the hospital room. Unable to stay still, she hung her injured arm and pushed the IV stand as she walked outside. She never expected who she would come across.
At first glance, the face seemed familiar.
An old acquaintance she forbade herself from returning to the country for.
"Who is Darwin accompanying in the hospital? Could it be... his delicate secretary?" Emma quickly crouched down and tried to hide, peeking inside.
Emma glanced over. After a long look, she still couldn't make out anything. She decided not to look anymore, in case Darwin caught her and decide to throw her body into the sea.
This man was so stingy. Just because she had a discussion with the soft secretary about which duck king to choose, he forced her to flee the country.
In the past few years, she acquired the bland food from abroad. She had been longing to come back and eat spicy hot pot!
Back in the ward, Emma was still worried if something happened to the soft secretary. She really liked this beauty. Unfortunately, she had bad luck and ended up with Darwin, who didn't know how to appreciate beauty! Several times, she saw bite marks on the soft secretary's body made by him. Emma still had Fiona's contact information. So she called her directly. It was probably an unfamiliar number, so she hung up the first time.
Emma decided to send her a text message: "Secretary Wood, it's Emma. Be a good girl and answer the phone!"
This time, Fiona called back. "Emma?"
"Little miss adorable, still remember me?" Emma chuckled. Herhooligan-like temperament didn't match her glamorous appearance at all.
"Of course, you're back in the country?" Fiona asked.
"Yes, how have you been?" Emma asked, "Where are you?"
"I'm doing fine. I'm in an apartment now," Fiona replied.
In an apartment, does that mean the crying woman on the hospital bed wasn't her?
Darwin, you're raising training another woman now!
"Are you still together with Darwin?" Emma asked again, "Don't tell him that I'm back! He won't let me off the hook!"
"He's in a much better mood now, don't worry. I won't let him skin you," Fiona joked.
Emma's heart sank again. Fiona probably didn't know that Darwin was two-timing, right? But she didn't care. Consider it revenge on that Darwin, the one who sent her abroad to suffer.
"Miss adorable, I've had such bad luck. I just got into a car accident as soon as I got back," Emma sobbed.
"Ah? A car accident? Is it serious?"
"The car is totaled, my arm is broken, and my head is injured!" Emma sighed, "You know, I'm a bastard. Those relatives don't even want to take care of me..."
"Which hospital are you in? Can I come and visit you tomorrow?" Fiona spoke gently.
"Miss adorable, you're so kind!"
She had to save this kind miss adorable!
"Please, don't call me miss adorable anymore. You can call me Fiona!" Fiona said with a wry smile.
Emma dragged it out, "I like calling you that. Miss Adorable is the highest title for others when they're with me!"
Fiona was felt helpless.
"We'll add each other back on WhatsApp, and I'll send you the address later."
At this time, Emma didn't yet know the huge trouble uproar she was about to cause.
Fiona and Emma chatted for a while.
Then Emma went to video chat with the new guy she just met.
Fiona looked at the table full of dishes. After some thought, she took a picture and sent it to Darwin.
"Some kids are truly lucky with food~"
Darwin stayed by Lilian's side, never leaving even an inch. When he saw the photo Fiona sent, it was already late at night.
Lilian was asleep. He was alone on the terrace, smoking a cigarette. Looking at the dishes he loved in the picture. Darwin felt like he had truly messed up. How long did she take to prepare so many dishes?
Maybe the cold wind blew away the clarity in his mind.
"I can't keep Fiona in the dark about Lilian's situation..." he whispered to himself.
Once Lilian was discharged this time, he would take Fiona to visit her. Explain to her what happened back then, let her know his responsibility and helplessness. Fiona is so understanding. She will surely understand!
Yes! She will understand! He had said it before; she is no longer just a substitute. She can understand and won't get angry.
Darwin repeated this in his mind over and over.
"Darwin?"
At that moment, a trembling voice called out from behind.
Darwin turned around and saw Lilian, wearing thin clothes, standing at the terrace door, looking somewhat flustered.
