Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection - Season 2 Episode 49

William was busy working abroad, naturally, he couldn’t manage everything. The only person who could take care of things here was his wife, Emma.

As for Walter, he had a lot on his plate. With the end of the year approaching, it was inevitable that he would be busy. Technically, we hadn’t publicly divorced yet, so to outsiders, we were still husband and wife. Naturally, I should help share some of the responsibility of looking after Carley.

So, naturally, for some reason, everyone almost unanimously assumed that Emma and I would have to worry more about Carley’s affairs.

Carley had an accident, so naturally, I didn’t argue with Walter about divorce at such a time. After settling down, the old and sick, as well as the young ones from the Hinton family, were all sent back to the Hinton family.

Walter and Dale went downstairs to the lobby to complete the hospital admission procedures for Carley.

In the empty corridor, a breeze blew through. Emma kindly handed me the plush blanket in his hands, saying, “It’s cold here. When I came out, I was afraid that grandma would be cold, so I took the blanket to cover her. When she went into the emergency room, the doctor returned it. You should cover yourself with it, don’t get cold.”

I quickly thanked her, even though we weren’t particularly close. Despite being sisters-in-law, she was a teacher at the University of River City and rarely interacted with me due to her work. Moreover, she married William early and had a daughter who was about to enter junior high school. Most of the time, she was busy taking care of her

The blanket on my legs indeed made me much warmer. Neither of us were good at making conversation, so to ease the awkwardness, I asked, “When is your older brother coming back? I didn’t get a chance to thank him for his help last time before he went abroad. When he comes back, Walter and I would like to take you guys out for a meal to properly thank him.”

Although Emma was already in her thirties, she had a good foundation. and took good care of herself. With a faint smile on her fair and smooth face, she said, “He should be back in a couple of days. After all, something happened to his grandmother. What did you ask him to help with last time? He only told me that your friend had some trouble, but I didn’t ask for details. Is it serious?”

The incident of Rachel being imprisoned and tortured by Henry was not widely known because it took place in the castle in the middle of the lake. The police deliberately suppressed the news, so it did not cause a big stir. Therefore, after Henry was arrested, the matter was also suppressed.

It was normal that Emma didn’t know.

I smiled and said, “It’s over, my friend is fine now.”

Hearing this, she gave a slight nod and a smile, and very tactfully, she didn’t ask any further.

At that time, her phone rang. She quickly whispered to me, “I need to take this call.” Then she got up with her phone and walked over to the entrance of the corridor to answer the call.

I only heard a distant “Honey…” before she entered the hallway, and naturally, I didn’t hear anything else after that.

Thinking back, it must have been William who called to ask about Carley’s situation.

Walter and Dale finished all the procedures and came up. He instructed Dale to arrange for Carley’s inpatient caregiver and health. therapist. The wealthy family never lacked money and was never stingy, especially when it came to patients.

After Dale left, Walter didn’t see Emma. He looked at me and asked, ”
