Chapter 247
Emily's heart ached and tears flowed uncontrollably again.
But she said calmly to Joyce, "You and Sebastian should hurry back! I have told the elderly back home
before. Now if you suddenly decide not to go back, they will be worried. I'll call you when there is news
about Bryce. It's useless for you to stay here, as you said, with Franklin here, we are inferior to him in
these ways."
"How can I leave now that you're like this? I want to stay with you." Joyce said.
Emily said, "Joyce, listen to me and go with Sebastian! I'm fine. I'm fine until I find Bryce. You're here...
I won't be at ease because I will concern about you so I can't devote myself to the things."
"Emily, what else do you want to do?" Joyce asked in surprise.
Emily pursed her lips and remained silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
Joyce sighed and looked at Emily again and said nervously, "Emily, listen to me. You and Mr. Brent
were purely misunderstood before, I know you well. You are definitely moved by Mr. Brent, and Mr.
Brent is also sincere to you. Since you love each other, don't let the misunderstanding ruin such a
beautiful relationship. When Mr. Brent finds Bryce, your family will be reunited. You must not cause any
more trouble."
Emily smiled bitterly and looked at Joyce, "Look at your words. It's as if I'm a troublemaker. Don't worry,
I won't cause any trouble. But you have to leave with Sebastian quickly. Things here... I have my own
plans."
Joyce bit her lip and knew that though Emily looked easy-going, she was always stubborn in her bones,
and she couldn't be pulled back if she had made her mind.
It was the same for doing things, and it was the same for feelings.
It was useless no matter how much she tried to persuade her. It would be better to say something
useful.
But when it came to useful things, Joyce suddenly remembered what Emily had asked her to
investigate before. She had gotten the results, but as soon as Bryce's things happened, she forgot
them all.
Fortunately, she remembered today. Otherwise, it would be hard to tell Emily if she left later.
"Emily, do you remember that old Chinese doctor you asked me to investigate? I have results now."
Joyce whispered.
Emily was stunned and asked quickly, "How was it? How was the result?"
Joyce pursed her lips and looked back, but she was still worried. She simply stood up and walked to
the door to open it and then looked outside. After making sure there was no one, she closed the door.
"You don't have a surveillance camera here, do you? Or a monitor." Joyce asked.
Emily frowned and said, "It's just a little thing. Why are you so alerting? Could it be related to Franklin?

But then Emily suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Joyce in disbelief. After a long time, she
muttered, "Is it really... Related to Franklin?"
Joyce whispered, "Didn't I tell you before that the old Chinese doctor was introduced by my relative's
family. In fact, it is my relative's father-in-law. After so many years I asked him again, he was finally
willing to tell the truth. He said that before I took you for a checkup, a noble lady went to him. She gave
him a sum of money and a good job for his son, just to let him issue a false test result. If he does not do
as she told, she would just...let their whole family out of Lancaster."
"The lady you're talking about is Mrs. Brent, right?!" Emily muttered.
She should have thought that there was no such coincidence. She was misdiagnosed twice, and the
first misdiagnosis actually said that she was infertile, which was really absurd.
Joyce nodded, "According to the description of the old Chinese doctor, Mrs. Brent often participated in
some activities, so she knew a lot of people."
"Is the latter hospital I came to also her..." Emily asked softly.
Joyce quickly shook her head and said, "No. I have inquired it and also took out the thing that you have
given birth to a child to threaten him. I said if he does not tell the truth, we will go to sue him. He then
had to say that the person who threatened him was Andrew. I also remembered that after you and I
came out of the old Chinese doctor, Andrew was indeed inquiring about you. It was Andrew who
introduced me to take you to that hospital."
"Well, that's great. They all..." Emily sneered and clenched her fists, not knowing what to say.
She, Emily, never owed anyone, nor did she do anything harmful. Why did they all want to harm her?
Why couldn't they let her live well? If it wasn't for Mrs. Brent and Andrew, how would she and Franklin
have ended up today, and how would her son go missing?
"Emily, are you okay?" Joyce saw that Emily was so angry that her face turned pale at first, then began
to tremble gradually, so she couldn't help but ask anxiously.
Emily shook her head and muttered, "I'm fine, Joyce. You and Sebastian should go now! These
things... I'll handle them myself."
Joyce looked at the time. It was indeed late. There was a child at home, and Sebastian couldn't handle
it himself.
In fact, Sebastian wanted to leave, but Joyce was worried about Emily. Now that Emily had said so, she
could only nod and agree, and then said something before leaving reluctantly.
Two days later, Joyce and Sebastian left, but Emily didn't send them off. She just asked Jason to send
some things over.
Emily lay in bed for two days and got out of bed. There was still no news about Bryce as if he had
disappeared out of thin air.
At first, Emily would ask, but then she stopped asking. When Lisa came to see her again and found
that she looked as if nothing had happened, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"Mr. Brent, I see that Miss Johnson's mood is abnormal!" Lisa found an opportunity to say to Franklin.
Franklin said faintly, "What's wrong?"
Lisa said, "Miss Johnson is too calm. It shouldn't be. Judging from her previous obsession with the
child, she must be sad for a long time. I didn't expect her to recover so soon. It shouldn't be!"
Franklin frowned. In fact, he also felt that Emily was in an abnormal mood, but he couldn't figure out the
reason.
It was better to be calm than collapse. If she made a fuss to find the child herself, he would only have
more headaches.
"Maybe she's decided to let it go. That's better. How's the thing I asked you to do? Is it all done?"
Franklin sighed and changed the subject.
Lisa said quickly, "It's all done. Don't worry. The wedding is on schedule."
Franklin nodded and smiled faintly, "I hope this will make her happier and forget about the child's
troubles for the time being."
"If you really can't find him, just have another one! You and Miss Johnson are still young. With another
child, Miss Johnson may not be so sad." Lisa suggested tentatively.
Franklin's eyes lit up and he nodded with a slight smile. Why didn't he think of this? It seemed...a good
idea.
