Beloved Old Lover

After receiving almost the entire bottle of intravenous fluid, Emily gradually regained consciousness.

The moment she opened her eyes and saw Daniel’s happy face, she thought she was dreaming. However, his big, warm hand helped her realize this was reality.

“Deputy general director… ah, Mr. Daniel.” Emily quickly called his name because she saw him frowning when she said the first few words.

“Uh, it’s good that you’re awake. Please eat some porridge.”

As he spoke, he helped her sit up, took the warm porridge box, opened it, and carefully fed her.

Her right hand was receiving intravenous fluids, so it was inconvenient to hold a spoon, so she obediently opened her mouth and let him serve her like a child.

The feeling of coldness, loneliness, and self-pity in her heart was also greatly reduced thanks to this man’s kindness.

When the porridge box was empty, the tears she tried to suppress also broke.

“Don’t cry, I will be very heartbroken.”

Daniel gently touched the cheek of the person opposite him, wiping away the tears that had just fallen.

His actions and words made Emily almost freeze. Did he just say he was heartbroken for her?

Kevin’s warning words suddenly rang in her head, causing her to unconsciously step back, close to the head of the bed.

What is Daniel thinking? He already knew her and his brother’s past. Even if he doesn’t hate her, he can’t be sad because of her.

“Drink water.” He brought the glass of water to her mouth and gently spoke.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Emily quickly raised her left hand, took it, drank quickly, and then returned the glass to him.

She never intended to seduce Daniel, she swore to her conscience. The person she loves is Kevin, she even considers Daniel as her future brother-in-law.

“Emily, you didn’t suddenly fall, right?”

As he asked, he put the glass back on the table and looked straight into her eyes. The guy’s eyes, which were always gentle, now had anger burning in them. She could see his hands shaking slightly.

“I… I slipped.” She stammered.

“Don’t lie to me. You were personally recruited by me. If someone in the company dares to play tricks on you, I will demand justice on your behalf.”

The more Daniel spoke, the wider Emily’s eyes became. After all, he is the deputy general director of Unicons Group, so it’s a bit too showy for him to handle things like this.

Because today she was dizzy, if she was normal, Jennifer wouldn’t have been able to make her stumble. Furthermore, GE Group and Unicons Group are collaborating on several projects, and after all, Jennifer is the gem of GE Group.

“Jennifer, right?”

“Daniel… don’t…”

“What’s up? Or do you think I don’t have enough authority to punish her? After all, I am the deputy general director of Unicons Corporation. Although Jennifer is the daughter of the president of GE Corporation, when she came to Unicons Corporation, she was just an ordinary employee.”

After saying that, Daniel picked up a new bottle of infusion fluid, replaced the empty bottle, and then sat silently, looking at her.

It had only been a few days since she and his brother had argued and he saw that she was completely exhausted.

As for Emily, she just wanted someone to call him and tell him there was an urgent matter so he could leave as quickly as possible.

At this time, in the meeting room, the meeting was gradually coming to an end. After review and consideration, everyone agreed to sign the meeting minutes, agreeing to slightly increase the dividend rate and adjust business plans to suit the current situation.

At the end of this year and early next year, Unicons Group will expand its business scope, so this adjustment will contribute to helping the group’s cash flow flow smoothly and without blockage.

The shareholders stood up one by one, said goodbye to Matthew and Kevin, and left the meeting room.

Emma also quickly gathered the documents and returned the large space to the two people with the highest and second-highest authority at Unicons Corporation.

At noon, when she returned, she received her cell phone from a female employee. However, it was powered off due to an impact somewhere.

Until now, she restarted it and saw the notification of missed calls from Kevin. However, his face and his father’s face were like two fronts at the moment, how could she dare to ask him why he called her?

Leaving first is the best choice. She will ask him later.

“Kevin, you are the first heir of the Unicons group, no matter what happens, you should put the company first. I don’t want to interfere in your personal love affairs, but please know moderation.” Matthew took off his glasses and spoke sternly.

“Yes Dad, I’m sorry.”

Slow footsteps sounded and just a few seconds later, only Kevin was left in the room. He sighed, looking out the window with sad and tired eyes, where the sunlight was fading.

He came back when the meeting had continued for almost half an hour. What happened downstairs was so noisy, of course, his father would know.

Suddenly remembering Emily, he quickly dialed the phone number to call Emma. When she returned to the conference room alone, he was very worried and wondered where Emily was but there was no way to ask when she was sitting next to his father.

Before that, when he called, her phone had no signal, nor did Emily’s phone. He guessed she had put it on airplane mode when entering the meeting room.

“Emma, where is Emily?”

“She is in the city hospital. The deputy general manager is in there with her.”

“Daniel is back?”

“Yes, not long after you took Jennifer away, he arrived.”

After asking for the room number where Emily was staying as well as her current condition, Kevin hung up the phone and left the meeting room, running straight to the parking lot.

He didn’t know she fainted right when he took Jennifer away. At that moment, he was only afraid that if something happened to Jennifer, Emily would be blamed.

In his last year of college, he learned that the girl who always looked down on him had a heart disease. Due to the nature of the disease, it can only be partially cured.

The moment Kevin just touched the door handle, a hand held him back. Of course, he had to give in to his younger brother, taking two steps back.

“How is Emily?”

“Still have intermittent fever. She’s sleeping now, don’t come in. Ah, it seems like you’re not satisfied with the assistant I recommended. Please find someone else to replace her and give her back to me.”

“Who says I’m not satisfied?”

“That’s how I see it. Assistants are like our arms. The fact that you abandoned her like that is enough to show that you don’t value her at all.”

“What do you know to criticize me like that? Okay, I won’t go in now, but changing people is impossible. The general director’s office is not a flea market, anyone who wants to come in can come in, and anyone who wants to go out can go out unless she steps out of the gate of Unicons corporation.”

Although Kevin wants to see how Emily is now, he knows Daniel will try to stop him. He doesn’t want him and his brother to have a conflict in public.

He was in a bad mood and it seemed like his younger brother was also losing control. He was older so he had to give in.

After straightening his collar, he quickly turned around and walked towards the elevator.

The bridge of his nose suddenly stung as he thought back to the fact that he had left her and carried Jennifer away.

He also did not stop by the hospital room to check on Jennifer’s condition because before he returned to the company, the doctor informed him that she was fine, just needed to rest, take medicine, and monitor her until the afternoon before she could go home.

The afternoon sunlight slanted through the leaves, illuminating the man’s worried face. He stood quietly near the fountain, looking up at the floor where he knew she was lying.

He asked himself what the hell he was doing. He wondered if he was gloating and comfortable when he saw her like that.

At night, Daniel used the excuse of being busy meeting customers and informed his mother that he would sleep at the hotel.

While Jessica believed his youngest son’s words, Matthew and Kevin both knew clearly that the place where Daniel was staying was the hospital.

Emily also felt miserable when this deputy general director who had never fallen into a love trap kept clinging to her.

The person she needed didn’t appear, and the person she wanted to avoid kept taking care of her. She also didn’t dare speak up to chase him away.

His eyes, his gentle smile, and those words with insinuating meaning were enough for her to understand what he meant. She’s been in love before, she’s not stupid enough to not realize it.

At six o’clock in the afternoon, after feeding her dinner, he said nothing and disappeared. She thought she could escape him, but at seven o’clock, he appeared again.

When asked, she found out that he went back to the hotel, showered, changed, and brought her clothes. At that moment, she knew he decided to stay here.

“Daniel, you… don’t you go home and rest? It’s past nine o’clock at night. You still have to go to work tomorrow.” She took the piece of apple from his hand and asked.

“I know how to arrange my schedule. You’re worried that I’ll be tired, right?”

The piece of apple that she had not yet chewed almost fell down her throat. She’s worried about herself, she can’t afford to worry about him anymore.

If Kevin knew that his younger brother slept in the hospital because of her, she would have to listen to his contemptuous words.

In her mind, Kevin’s face appeared, his half-smile and his disdainful eyes.

“Daniel, I’m fine. The doctor also said I could go home tomorrow, so…”

“So I’ll stay here until tomorrow and then take you home, then go to work, it’s very convenient.”

Emily stopped speaking and silently cursed in her heart. She was so worried that she had a heart attack and didn’t feel comfortable at all.

She also didn’t know who possessed her at noon to make her so fierce. She was so tired that she couldn’t walk unsteadily, but she fought with Jennifer.

She even talked about Kevin’s past while he was standing there. That’s no different than humiliating him.

If she had eyes behind her at that time, she would have stopped in time and would have humbly walked past Jennifer.

“Where do you sleep?” She shyly looked around the room and asked.

“Rolling around on the floor. I’m a man, I can sleep anywhere.”

Her eyes widened when she heard him speak. That’s right, Daniel often goes to poor areas to do charity work, so he is used to sleeping anywhere.

He is like a chameleon, adapting quickly to every situation, unlike some other rich men, who must have warm blankets and soft mattresses to sleep.

When he brought her here, the VIP room did not have anyone discharged from the hospital, so she lay down here, and when she knew she would be discharged tomorrow, she refused to move to the VIP room and he followed her wishes.
