Chapter 310 Treating Illness, You? What A Joke!

Chapter 310 Treating Illness, You? What A Joke!

But Aaron was the first to speak: [My parents are still unconscious. My grandfather has examined them too, but he just shook his head. For now, all we can do is wait. I don't know when they'll wake up. Since you're in Emerald City now, I'd like to ask you a favor - could you take a look at my parents?]

He still respected Emily's opinion and asked for her consent.

Emily agreed without hesitation: [Of course I can. You should have come to me sooner. With me, you never need to be polite, just like I wouldn't be polite with you if I needed help. Aaron, you're my partner, and also my family!]

Whether in her past life or this one, he and she were the closest people to each other, having gone beyond a simple partnership.

At the same time, she was telling Aaron that he wasn't fighting alone - she had his back.

Aaron was very touched.

Actually, he had long considered Emily family too.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't get along so well.

Aaron: [Alright, I'll pick you up by car tomorrow morning at nine.]

Emily: [Okay, I'll send you the address!]

She sent Aaron the hotel location.

Aaron then remembered about her and Daniel.

Aaron: [Is Daniel also at this hotel? What's going on between you two now? Although Daniel is somewhat barely good enough for you, he's still way better than James.]

Emily knew Aaron had misunderstood and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Emily didn't want to explain the real reason she came to Emerald City with Daniel this time.

She just gave a simple explanation: [You've got it wrong. Daniel and I aren't what you think. I'm not thinking about relationships right now. This time I'm just helping Daniel out, going along with an act.]

Aaron was a man, so he understood men best.

The way Daniel looked at Emily didn't seem like just acting.

He was clearly deeply in love.

He recalled the rumors about Daniel - no messy scandals, and he'd even been rumored to like men because he'd never had a girlfriend.

Now it seemed Daniel took relationships seriously and didn't date casually.

If that was the case, he might barely be worthy of Emily.

Aaron was just worried that Emily was too naive about relationships and might be deceived without knowing it.

Aaron: [Why does he have to ask you specifically for help? He could arrange anyone. Be more careful, don't let the fake become real.]

He thought Emily didn't know about Daniel's feelings for her.

Little did he know, someone Daniel had his eye on wouldn't give others a chance to get close.

Emily truly wasn't thinking about relationships right now, so she didn't think she would actually let the act become real.

Emily: [Don't worry, I'm not some clueless fool. I know what I'm doing.]

Although she wasn't considering relationships now.

If one day she let go of her reservations and was willing to consider it, she wouldn't go against her own wishes and reject it too much.

As they were messaging, Emily's phone rang with an incoming call.

Emily looked at the caller ID - it was actually Otto.

Emily told Aaron: [See you tomorrow.]

Then she answered Otto's call.

Was he calling at this time because he already knew about what happened at the party?

Calista was Otto's daughter after all. Emily wasn't sure if he was calling because of Calista.

She kept her tone warm, not showing her suspicion.

Emily: "Mr. Day, good evening."

Hearing Emily's greeting, Otto knew she probably thought his plan to take her as his daughter was just talk.

Today, after visiting his son's grave with his wife, Otto had told her that Emily had saved him and that he admired her and wanted to take her as his daughter.

His wife had always supported his decisions. She was grateful that Emily had saved him, and knowing Emily was looked down upon because of her background, she didn't look down on Emily's family situation at all - instead, she felt sorry for what Emily had been through.

When Otto got home, he immediately started arranging the recognition ceremony, which was why he was calling a bit late.

Otto: "Emily, what I told you yesterday about wanting to take you as my daughter wasn't just talk. I'm serious about it, and didn't you agree at the time? My wife and I have discussed it, and we'll hold a simple recognition ceremony tomorrow. Later I'll hold a recognition banquet and invite prominent people to introduce you to everyone. After that, I don't think anyone will look down on you because of your background anymore."

He wasn't just superficially grateful for Emily saving his life - he was truly thinking of her.

Emily felt that although she had faced much injustice in her past life, God had given her a second chance in this life. When she stopped clinging to the family love that never belonged to her, she gained even more family love.

The fatherly love she had longed for but never received was now, at this moment, fulfilled through Otto.

Emily's eyes grew moist.

Her voice choked up involuntarily, "Mr. Day, what have I done to deserve..."

"No, you're very deserving. Don't forget, you saved my life. Just taking you as my daughter doesn't even repay a fraction of what you did for me!"

Otto interrupted Emily, and hearing her choked voice, he felt sorry for her too.

Since he wanted to take Emily as his daughter, he had naturally looked into some information about her.

Without even trying too hard, there was plenty online about Emily and the Johnson family.

Clearly everything was the Johnson family's fault, but Emily didn't get fair treatment. He also knew Emily had once been lost by the Johnson family.

During those years away, she had survived by collecting trash.

As parents, knowing their daughter had suffered like that, they should want to make it up to her when she came back. But the Johnson family did the opposite - not only did they not try to make amends, they wronged Emily for Bianca's sake.

Otto felt sorry for Emily, which made him even more determined to take her as his daughter.

"Don't cry. From now on, my wife and I will love and cherish you like our own daughter. If others don't treasure you, we will. Tomorrow, whenever works for you, I'll send a car to pick you up."

Otto's words were gentle.

But each sentence carried weight, imprinting on Emily's heart like a seal.

"Tomorrow afternoon then. Give me the address, and I'll come visit in person."

Emily suddenly found herself looking forward to having such parents.

As the younger generation, it was naturally better for her to visit in person.

Who said she had no manners? Her manners were better than many who had been carefully raised.

Although Otto didn't necessarily need Emily to visit in person, the fact that she offered made him feel differently about it.

Otto gave Emily the address, and after chatting a bit more, they hung up.

The next morning, Daniel was meticulous - not only did he have someone prepare clothes suitable for Emily for this season, but he also had breakfast delivered on time.

"Today, what are your plans? Or is there anywhere you'd like to go? I'll go with you!"

Daniel really hoped to spend time alone with Emily.

Once they returned to Silverlight City, there might be far fewer such opportunities.

Emily told him honestly, "Aaron's parents are still in the hospital. I need to go take a look and examine them myself."

Her medical skills weren't a secret to Daniel, so she didn't hide it.

Daniel could tell that Emily's relationship with Aaron was special. Even though he was jealous, he respected her friendships.

He didn't think about how to prevent her from seeing Aaron.

"I'll go with you!"

Daniel said.
