Beloved Old Lover

Receiving the news from Leo, Daniel immediately ended the meeting and drove with Emma to SP International Hospital.

Fortunately, it was noon and the companies and factories had not yet finished working, so the road was empty and he could drive quickly.

Emma felt like she and him were flying, not driving. However, she believes in his driving skills. Up to now, he has never had a collision while participating in traffic.

When Daniel arrived, Kevin’s surgery had not yet ended. As soon as Emily saw him, she immediately left the bench and ran to hug him.

She was so panicked that she forgot that she should call him until she heard Leo talking on the phone that she remembered.

“He’ll be okay, calm down.” Daniel patted her back, comforting her.

“He helped me, that’s why… it happened like that. It’s because of me…” Her voice broke off in sobs.

“Don’t think like that, it was an accident, not anyone’s fault.”

He pushed her away, bowed his head to greet Leo and Mike, then pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

This was an accident, no one wanted it and he didn’t blame her. Whether the injured person was her or his brother, his heart ached.

Kevin has gone through many difficulties in the past but was okay, so he believes that his brother has great blessings and will overcome danger again.

“Have you told your parents yet?” She looked at Daniel with red eyes and asked.

“Not yet. Let’s wait a bit and see what the doctor says. For now, don’t let them know.”

No one told anyone, but all five people sitting on the waiting bench bowed their heads and silently prayed for the patient undergoing surgery inside.

Daniel still held Emily’s hand without letting go. He understood her anxiety and fear right now.

Time passed slowly and when the door to the emergency room opened, everyone stood up at once.

The doctor took off his mask, smiled, and happily announced that the patient’s current condition was fine, his head was injured but not too serious, and the injuries on his back had also been treated.

But because he lost too much blood, he needed a blood transfusion and his recovery time would be quite long.

“Thank you, doctor.” Daniel bowed his head and said politely.

“Nothing, this is what we should do.”

Next, the doctor quickly realized that the city chairman’s hand was bleeding. So he immediately told the nurse to take Leon to a nearby room to treat the wound even though Leo insisted that the wound was very small and not dangerous.

Just now, when he rushed next to Kevin and Emily, he was careless and was cut by a fragment of the chandelier.

Waiting until Kevin was transferred to the post-operative room, Daniel called Matthew and informed him of the situation.

He knew that through his father’s words, his mother would be calmer than hearing his announcement directly.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Because Daniel knew Kevin was out of danger, he told Mike and Leo to leave because he knew they still had a lot of work to do.

He also called his group of friends to apologize for not being able to go with them tomorrow. Of course, everyone sympathized with him when they heard the completely legitimate reason.

Leo and Mike lingered for a while then said goodbye to everyone and left. As the two of them stood up, Matthew and his wife also ran over, worry showing on their faces.

No one told anyone, but everyone stood up at the same time.

“My brother is still not awake. The doctor said he needs to be monitored further.” Daniel spoke up.

“What happened? Why was Kevin injured?” Jessica looked at her son and asked.

“Ah, he and I were checking the preparations in the hall when the chandelier suddenly fell and he couldn’t dodge it in time. I sincerely apologize for not being able to react quickly.”

Leo hastily lied because he noticed Daniel’s confused eyes and his actions to prevent Emily from moving forward.

The daughter-in-law is not a biological daughter anyway. He speculated from the personality of his lion.

If Jessica knew that her son was injured because he saved his brother’s fiancee, she would have a grudge against Emily.

“It’s not your fault. That’s just bad luck. Fortunately, you took him to the emergency room in time.” Matthew spoke up.

In terms of age, Leo is only ten years younger than Matthew. However, because Leo felt that Kevin was compatible with him, he proposed to be friends with him and address him as an older brother or younger brother, not an uncle or nephew.

Daniel used his eyes as a thank-you to the city chairman. He had convinced his mother a lot to accept Emily into his house, so he didn’t want her to develop a grudge against Emily because of this.

It wasn’t Emily’s fault, but from a mother’s perspective, his mother would think that she was the cause of his brother’s injury.

Kevin disregarded his safety to protect Emily, proving that his brother’s love for her is still full and strong.

Now, when the moment of suspense and anxiety before the operating room door has passed, Daniel can quickly piece together everything that happened and realize that his brother does not hate Emily as much as he loves her.

Kevin loves Emily so he hates her. Even though he hates her, that doesn’t mean he stops loving her.

“Why are your clothes stained with so much blood? Are you with Kevin?” Jessica looked doubtful when looking at Emily.

“Ah, at that time she was in the next hall. She heard that someone was injured in the next room, so she ran over to check and recognized her husband’s brother, so she followed the medical staff and brought Kevin here.”

Leo continued to lie. He felt guilt surrounding him.

However, the first lie was told by him, so he had to tell the second one so that everything matched and there were no suspicious points.

Even when participating in important meetings and having to explain to senior leaders, he did not sweat like this.

“I’m the MC for an exchange program for fashion students, so I went there to rehearse.” Emily said softly.

Mike and Leo left, and the remaining five people on the bench waited in silence, no one said a word to anyone else.

Time passed slowly and the worry in their hearts still could not subside because Kevin had not regained consciousness.

It wasn’t until late in the evening that the nurses pushed the stretcher out. Daniel quickly recognized his brother and immediately stood up.

Emily tried to hold back her sobs when she saw the man lying on the stretcher. His head was wrapped in a white bandage, his eyes were closed, and his face had lost its usual rosy look, and was pale because he had lost too much blood.

“Patient’s family, please go this way.” The nurse pointed to the right and quickly pulled the stretcher into the elevator.

Only Daniel followed to assist the nurse, while the others took another elevator. Emily didn’t even dare look at Jessica. Even though Leo said so at that time, Jessica’s eyes were still suspicious when looking at her.

Because patients need a quiet space to rest and having many people gathered here cannot help Kevin recover faster, after taking him to the hospital room, Jessica asked Daniel to take Emily and Emma home.

After all, she and her husband are Kevin’s parents, so it’s easier to take care of him. She knew Emma was just his fake girlfriend, so she couldn’t let her take care of him.

“Then I’ll come in early tomorrow morning. If there are any changes in my brother’s condition, please call me immediately.”

“Uh. Take them out to dinner and then go home. If two or three people collapse at once, it will be very miserable.”

Both Emma and Emily simultaneously bowed to Matthew and Jessica and followed Daniel out.

For convenience, the three of them stopped by the hospital cafeteria and ordered three portions of rice. Afterward, Daniel took Emma back to the company to get the car, and he drove Emily home.

“You just stay here, I can get out of the car myself.” She spoke up, stopping him from unfastening his seat belt.

“Uh. Don’t think much. You are Kevin’s sister-in-law and my wife. We are family, so we must protect each other.”

“Yes.”

Daniel raised his hand to wipe away the tears that had just fallen from the corners of her eyes and urged her to quickly go inside, take a shower, and change clothes. He didn’t forget to tell her to rest early.

At this time, inside, James had just opened the gate. Daniel just lowered the windshield, bowed to him, and drove away.

“Oh my god, what’s wrong with you? Why is your whole body covered in blood like this?” He cried out in panic when he saw his daughter.

“Come into the house and I’ll tell you. This is not my blood.”

Emily quickly walked in and went straight upstairs to the bathroom. Now, when she was alone, she could hug her aching heart and cry loudly.

She was in extreme pain but had to try to control her emotions in front of everyone. Kevin’s eyes filled with love before passing out haunted her. She felt that she always brought him bad luck.

“Kevin, why did we… why did we come to this dead end? I can’t go back anymore. I hate myself. I can’t…can’t betray Daniel.”

She could realize that Daniel’s heart belonged only to her. She knew he loved her deeply and she was the first girl to enter his heart. How could she leave him?

She didn’t want him to suffer the hurt she had caused his brother. Moreover, in her heart she also has him. The love that she thought she would only dedicate to one person is now divided into two halves.

After showering and changing, she went down to the living room to meet her father and told him everything.

Looking at his daughter’s swollen eyes, James felt extremely sad. He understood that if Kevin no longer loved his daughter, Kevin would not have risked his life to save her.

Love and hatred are causing people to make wrong decisions, harming their lives.

“Emily, Kevin knows that his younger brother will be heartbroken if something happens to you. I don’t want you to affect your current relationship with my son-in-law because of this.”

“Yes, Dad, don’t worry, Daniel is my husband. I know.”

James immediately returned to his bedroom after telling his daughter to go to bed early.

Since the engagement ceremony, the relationship between the two parties has been established, the only thing missing is a wedding and a marriage certificate.
