Chapter 314: A Burst of Joy
Hearing this, Emma was taken aback for a moment. She then turned to look at the door and realized that Victor was also there.
Seeing this, Emma recalled her recent words and actions, ensuring she hadn’t revealed any flaws. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lily beside her, speaking softly, “Madam, there’s no need. This is what I should do. Talking about life-saving grace between us is too formal.”
Lily frowned, “You child, are you saying this to make me feel guilty?”
Emma obediently remained silent.
Lily then turned to Victor, “If it weren’t for Emma, you might not have seen me standing here today. This kindness is something our family owes her. I’ve been frightened and really don’t have the energy to take care of her, so I’m entrusting Emma to you. You must take good care of her for me.”
For a moment, everyone’s eyes in the room were on Victor.
Victor frowned and agreed in a deep voice, “Understood.”
He really didn’t want to be involved with Emma anymore, but this time, Emma had saved his mother, and he had no reason to refuse.
Seeing him agree, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Emma felt a sense of triumph in her heart.
Although the injury she sustained was heavier than she had expected, the outcome was also unexpectedly favorable.
She had initially intended to use this injury to make Lily feel guilty and thus gain an ally against Olivia.
She hadn’t anticipated such a pleasant surprise.
“In that case, please take care of Emma during this period,” Beatrice said to Victor with a smile.
Victor nodded noncommittally.
Emma’s expression was somewhat awkward, “Victor, I know you’re still angry with me because of Sophia. You don’t want to be involved with me. Rest assured, unless absolutely necessary, I won’t trouble you.”
Lily looked at her disapprovingly, “During this time, if you feel uncomfortable in any way, just let Victor take care of you. If you don’t trouble him, I’ll only feel that you don’t accept my gratitude, and I’ll feel bad.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Emma pretended to be troubled.
Lily frowned and thought for a moment before directly addressing Victor, “How about this? During this period, come to the hospital after work to take care of Emma. I’ll also come over when I’m free to keep her company.”
Hearing Lily’s words, Victor’s eyes darkened.
The two of them were at an impasse for a few seconds before Victor finally agreed, “Alright.”
Emma was delighted. She hadn’t expected Victor to agree so easily. After a few seconds of surprise, she suppressed her inner joy and put on a guilty expression, saying to Victor, “Sorry for the trouble.”
Victor frowned without speaking and just gave her a slight nod.
Emma could see his reluctance but didn’t mind.
Following Lily’s instructions, Victor would have to stay in the hospital with her during this period, which meant he wouldn’t have time to see that woman!
Thinking about this, Emma felt a burst of joy.
After some discussion, they finalized the arrangements for Emma’s recovery period.
The doctor gave some instructions on precautions and then asked them to handle the hospitalization procedures.
Before anyone could speak, Victor took the initiative, “I’ll do it.”
With that, he turned and walked out.
He really didn’t want to spend more time with Emma.
After completing the hospitalization procedures, Victor went to see the dean and arranged for Emma to have the best facilities according to Lily’s wishes.
