Chapter 121: There’s Another Family
When the party ended, Kevin’s face was red from the alcohol. Emily only took a sip of wine at the beginning of the party so she was still alert and could drive him home.
All the way home, he closed his eyes and didn’t say a word, but as soon as she helped him back to the bedroom, he pushed her down on the bed and kissed her frantically.
“Are you jealous, Emily?” He asked when the long kiss had just ended.
“No.” She took a breath and replied.
“You said you were afraid I would mistake my wife for another woman. Emily, you were so harsh just now. Tell me, am I right or wrong now?”
Before Emily could answer, he leaned down again and continued to kiss her. His nimble hands took off the seductive dress from her body and the suit from his body, quickly becoming one with her.
One sleepless night, in the morning, when the alarm clock rang for the third time, both of them still did not want to open their eyes.
It wasn’t until Sara called, reminding Kevin about this morning’s meeting that he lazily stood up and went to the bathroom.
When he came back, Emily was still curled up in the blanket, so he took his clothes and tied his tie.
After placing a kiss on her forehead, he left the room, went down to breakfast, and drove away.
At this time, she dragged her body covered in man’s marks to get out of bed.
Seeing the phone screen light up with a series of numbers both familiar and strange, Emily was a bit confused but still picked up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, a familiar man’s voice rang out. She could recognize it as Kent.
“Yes, it’s me.” Emily answered when she heard him ask if she was on the phone.
“Can I see you for a few minutes? I have something to tell you, related to Brian.”
Emily’s heart suddenly pounded and the feeling of nervousness made it difficult for her to breathe.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
After a few seconds of silence, she agreed and told him to go to a coffee shop near where she lived.
Brian didn’t come to yesterday’s party and Kent wasn’t there either. Could it be that something happened to Brian?
After showering and changing into discreet clothes, Emily quickly ate breakfast and then walked to the meeting point.
The moment she saw Kent and a woman enter, she was a bit surprised because at first, she thought he would come alone.
“Hello, this is my wife, Brian’s mother.” Kent spoke first.
“Ah, yes, hello ma’am.” Emily bowed her head.
When the three people sat down, Emily realized that the old couple’s eyes were bloodshot and the woman seemed to be trying to hold back tears.
“Emily, please save my son, please…” Brian’s mother held Emily’s hand and sobbed.
“What’s going on? What’s wrong with him?” Emily was confused and panicked at the strange woman’s request.
Kent turned to tell his wife to calm down. And then in a deep voice mixed with remorse and shame, he told Emily that he was her biological father, who did not know of her existence until James’ funeral was over.
“How could that happen?” Emily shook her head, looking incredulous.
“I know it’s hard for you to accept, but this is the truth. Brian was suspicious so he secretly did a DNA test. Emily, you and he are half-siblings, maybe your and his marrow will be compatible.”
When talking about this, Kent choked up and couldn’t continue talking. The image of his talented son lying on the hospital bed made him want to burst into tears because of his helplessness.
The day he discovered his son was sick, his hair turned almost white overnight.
Emily’s head was pounding as if a jet engine had passed by. When she asked what disease Brian had that required compatible bone marrow, his mother said he had leukemia and had been treated for a while but had not improved.
The doctor said he needed a bone marrow transplant immediately and his family also spent a large amount of money to find a bone marrow source for him but there was none.
“Brian can’t stand it any longer and Jennifer has a heart condition and can’t donate bone marrow to her brother.” The woman burst into tears.
Kent hugged his wife’s shoulders and comforted her. When he knew he had an illegitimate child, he was very afraid that his wife would know, but when his son got sick, his wife was the one who said that if he had a child outside, their son would be saved.
So, he confessed and she was very happy, telling him to quickly find that child and promising to let him give that person a portion of the property.
Having experienced so much pain and loss to the extreme, when Emily found out her true identity, she was only a little shocked.
What she cares about now is Brian, he treats her very well so she can’t see him die without saving him.
People who share half of her blood are of course more important than strangers. Furthermore, she soon considered him her brother.
“Which hospital is he in?” Emily asked, her voice was completely dry.
The old couple was delighted, quickly invited her to the car, and took her to a famous private hospital.
When they took her to the place where their son was being treated, they told her to go in alone because they wanted her and their son to have private space to talk.
When the door was pushed open, Brian thought it was his father or mother, but when he saw Emily, he almost froze.
Her appearance here means that his father has gone to find her and talk to her. At this moment, he didn’t know how to face her anymore.
“How are you feeling inside?” Emily sat down next to him, held his pale hand, and asked.
“I’m feeling a little better, I’ll be able to go out in a few days.” Brian smiled tiredly, trying to reassure her.
“When I saw that you were so skinny, I suspected that you were sick, but you hid it.”
Her sobbing made the heart of the person opposite her ache, he didn’t know what to say, he could only stay silent and gently rub the back of her hand to comfort her.
He doesn’t want her to worry about him because until now, his family still owes her and hasn’t given her anything.
“You’ll be fine. In a few days, I will do a bone marrow test and if compatible, the doctor will perform the transplant surgery. I feel like our personalities are very similar, maybe our bone marrow will be compatible.” Emily wiped her tears and said confidently.
Brian bowed his head and asked her if she wasn’t angry with him and his father. But the answer he received was that she was not angry.
She said he was not at fault and that Kent should thank her father, because without her father raising and loving her like his own child, when she knew the truth, she would hate Kent extremely.
In the days that followed, Emily’s thoughts were all about Brian, no longer caring about Kevin’s departure and return times.
When he asked, she still obediently responded and had sex with him, but after that, she would use birth control pills. If she were pregnant, surgery would not be possible.
This morning, the doctor was happy to announce that her marrow and the patient’s marrow were compatible, and surgery could be arranged after a week.
At that moment, Brian’s mother was so moved that she hugged her tightly, cried non-stop, and called her her daughter.
For some reason, at that moment, Emily felt the warmth of her mother that she had always been waiting for, very warm, seemingly capable of healing her wounded soul.
At night, while Emily and Kevin were watching TV, Daisy suddenly ran out and asked him to drive her to Lisa’s apartment room.
She said her daughter slipped and fell and could not move outside to call people nearby for help because she was in too much pain.
She also emphasized that Lisa’s old leg injury recurred, causing her pain so she couldn’t stand.
“Let me call you a taxi, it’s raining and windy, how can I leave my wife at home alone?” Kevin said as he picked up the phone and quickly operated on the screen.
“Boss, please come with me to help me carry Lisa to the car. Her spirit is in panic, I’m afraid she won’t let strangers touch her.” Daisy cried and said.
Next, Daisy turned to Emily, asking Emily to allow Kevin to take her away.
But before Emily could open her mouth, Kevin said that he would call Venn because, in terms of closeness, Venn was better than him. After all, Venn is Lisa’s direct boss.
Moreover, Venn is single, no matter where he wants to go or when he comes back, it’s no problem.
In the end, Daisy had to call a taxi, and at the same time texted her daughter, telling her that the plan had failed and that the person coming was Venn.
Daisy didn’t want to do anything wrong, but because Lisa was her daughter, she had to help. Lisa cried and said that without Kevin, she would die.
Daisy doesn’t know when her daughter fell deeply in love with this man. It wasn’t until a few days ago that she heard her daughter confide.
“You go up to our bedroom, I’ll lock the gate.” Kevin turned off the TV and stood up.
Emily was quite satisfied with Kevin’s behavior. At least, in front of her, he didn’t dare run to that person.
In a week, she will have to be hospitalized to undergo bone marrow extraction and transplant for Brian.
So she needed to find a reason to be away from home and she knew that during that time, her husband would be free to run around and coax his little lover.
She slowly walked back to her room, lying down on the soft mattress.
“Kevin, at the end of this week, I want to go back to Kurt’s place for a few days, get some fresh air, and visit some colleagues.” She crawled into Kevin’s arms when he lay down next to her.
“Let me take you there.”
“No need, you’re busy, I can take a taxi, I’ll go for a few days and then come back. Let’s be apart for a few days to see if we miss each other.”
Kevin’s gentle laughter rang out above her head. He kissed her hair hard and nodded in agreement.
Holding her in his arms, even when he became one with her, he still missed her, no need to do the test.
These days, she doesn’t act cold towards him anymore, she takes the initiative when the two of them make love, so he’s in a comfortable mood and doesn’t think too much.
Moreover, Kurt is there, Kurt will look after her and take care of her for him.
He hopes that after relaxing and being away from him for a few days, she will realize that he still holds a large place in her heart.
“Emily, let’s exercise a little.” Kevin suddenly sat up and took off the blanket. His eyes were tinged with lust, looking at her as if begging.
“Okay, come here, I’ll help you.”
Because she didn’t want him to stop her from being away from home, she quickly agreed, reached out to help him take off his white t-shirt, and then proactively kissed his neck.
The man’s heavy, rapid, and chaotic breathing sounded, overwhelming the melodious sound of rain outside.
The two hands were tightly clasped together, the large bed shook gently with each movement.
And then just five minutes later, Emily felt like he had carried her out to sea, letting thousands of fierce waves crash over her, knocking her down over and over again, leaving her with no chance to fight back, only able to obey him.
