That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Lily and her group stayed with Emma in the hospital room for a while longer.

Emma had little patience for her, she was merely using her to get closer to Victor. Now that her goal was achieved and Victor was in the room, she grew increasingly irritated that these elders wouldn’t leave, though she maintained a facade of sweetness.

“Emma, you’re seriously injured. Just stay in bed for the next couple of days and let Victor handle anything that comes up,” Lily said, sitting by the bedside and gently touching Emma’s cast-covered arm with concern.

Half-lying down, Emma had heard enough of her caring words. She forced a smile and replied, “Got it. Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I’ll be careful, but…”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

She glanced intentionally at the man standing by the door, then feigned a hurt expression. “It’s already great that Victor is here with me. I don’t want to trouble him any further.”

Hearing this, Lily turned to look at Victor, her expression full of reproach. “Why are you standing over there? Emma is a young girl and might feel a bit embarrassed. You should stay in the hospital and take care of her these next few days. Pay more attention to her needs and help out proactively.”

Victor furrowed his brow but didn’t respond immediately.

Seeing this, Emma pretended to be hurt and defended him, “Madam, Victor is very busy with work. He should rest during his rare free time. Please don’t make things difficult for him. I can manage on my own.”

Lily’s expression softened at Emma’s understanding nature.

Emma seemed uncomfortable lying down and instinctively tried to sit up by pushing against the bed with her hand, forgetting that one arm was in a cast. As soon as she touched the bed, she winced in pain.

“Emma, be careful!” Beatrice, who was nearby, rushed over to help her, both concerned and scolding.

Emma smiled reassuringly at her mother. “Mom, I’m fine. It’s just a bit awkward. See, I can sit up with one hand, it’s just a matter of getting used to it.”

After speaking, she touched her cast-covered arm with a hint of melancholy, while discreetly observing Lily.

Lily was already moved by Emma’s understanding nature. Seeing how inconvenient things were for her now made Lily feel even more guilty and concerned. “Don’t try to be strong. Let Victor take care of you these next few days. He’s already agreed, so you don’t need to feel bad about it. You’ll be bored lying in the hospital anyway, I’ll come keep you company when I’m free.”

Emma looked at Victor with a face full of surprise and shyness.

Victor knew Lily’s temperament well. Today, no matter what he said, she would insist he stay to take care of Emma. Not wanting to waste time, he agreed in a deep voice, “The company isn’t very busy these days. I can come take care of her. Besides, she got hurt saving my mom, it’s only right that I do something.”

Lily nodded in satisfaction. “See, Victor said it himself. Don’t refuse anymore.”

Emma smiled gratefully. “That would be troublesome.”

Though she said this, she secretly gritted her teeth.

Victor’s words had indeed promised he would stay to take care of her, but the latter part clearly emphasized that he was doing it because she saved Lily, not because of any personal feelings towards her!

Does he really want nothing to do with me?
