Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection - Season 3 Episode 33

Good thing?

I wanted to ask more, but Dale had already followed Dr. Li to see him

out.

Entered the West Residence hall.

There was no one.

Conversely, voices were heard from upstairs, suggesting that everyone was likely upstairs.

Walter and I went upstairs. The door to William and Emma’s master bedroom was open, and the sound

of an old lady’s laughter came from inside, sounding very happy.

Reaching the doorway, they saw Emma lying in bed with William standing by, taking care of her. The

old lady and William’s mother were sitting by the bed, chatting with Emma. They didn’t know what they

were talking about, but everyone was laughing.

Looking at this scene, I couldn’t help but guess about seventy to eighty percent of it.

Hearing the noise, a few people looked over at us. Seeing this, the old lady waved at us, saying,

“You’re here, come over and sit down.”

Walter and I entered the bedroom, the old lady looked at me kindly and smiled, “Did you sleep well last

night? I called you so early, did I wake you up?”

Walter and I silently shook hands in understanding.

Walter was the first to speak, looking at the old lady, he said, “Grandma, what has happened?”

The old lady smiled kindly and said. “I originally thought it was bad news, but surprisingly, it turned out

to be good news. Your sister-in- law is pregnant.”

At this. Walter was slightly taken aback. He then looked at William, who was calmly looking at him with

a smile, saying, “Walter, accompany me to the hospital. Dr. Li just said that your sister-in-law’s

pregnancy hormone levels are unstable and she needs some medication. You should come with me.”

Walter nodded, didn’t say much, and left the bedroom with him.

In the bedroom, after a few elders had spoken to Emma for a while, they all left as well.

It was just Emma and me left. She was leaning on the bed, looking at me with a somewhat apologetic

expression, “Tabatha, I’m sorry. I didn’t know grandma had someone call you guys over too. I’m sorry

for making you worry this early in the morning.”

I just laughed it off, not really taking it to heart, and simply asked her, “Did something happen this

morning?”

Otherwise, how could the old lady have been disturbed so early in the morning?

She took a deep breath, a hint of helplessness and self-mockery showing on her gentle face. “It’s funny

when you think about it,” she said. “I always thought I was lucky in this life, to be born into a wealthy

family, to have received a good education, to have a job I love. When I got married, I married a man

who seemed perfect. He respected me, cherished me…

At this point, she gave a bitter smile, looking at me and said, “You

must have guessed something about what happened in the backyard last night.”

I pursed my lips, a bad premonition in my heart as I looked at her and asked, “Does my elder brother

have another woman by his side?”

“I didn’t know.” Emma shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. “He said there was no one else,

and I believed him. But this morning, before dawn, another woman called him to go out, and he was

actually going to go. If I hadn’t tried to stop him and demanded an explanation, he accidentally pushed

me, and I started bleeding. I’m afraid he would have left long ago.”

So, the old lady didn’t call us over because Emma was pregnant, but because Emma had almost had

an accident.

I took a deep breath, looking at Emma, I didn’t know how to comfort her, let alone what to say to her.

After a moment of silence, I asked, “Did your older brother explain everything to you after he found out

you were pregnant?”

Emma nodded, “He said they were just friends, not what I thought, but Tabatha, would a friend call him

early in the morning, asking him to come over?”

Listening to Emma’s words, I picked up some information. It seemed that Emma herself was only

harboring doubts, she wasn’t sure if William was seeing someone else.

The thought that William and Rachel’s relationship was now just a one-sided affection from Rachel.

Looking at Emma, I said, “Sister-in-law, perhaps this matter, as my elder brother said, is just a friend,

nothing more? You know what kind of person my brother is. Over the years, you two have been living

separately in peace. If he really had the intention, why didn’t he mess

around in a place abroad where you couldn’t see him? Instead, he came back to the country and

messed around under your watch, isn’t this asking for trouble?”
