She was asking the robot, but also the one who was controlling the robot. She did not know who she was greeting.
Eleven did not move. After a long time, the servants witnessed the little robot nod slowly.
The servants covered their mouths in surprise.
They could not believe in their eyes. On the other hand, Christy smiled at the little robot, “Stay well. See you.” She waved her hand to the robot and drove out.
The little robot flew in the middle of the air and watched her leave. Then, it flew back to the garret. Three carp windsocks hanging at the garret were dancing with the wind as if they were waving goodbye to someone they loved.
When Christy came out, she saw the words on the door: The Peck’s.
She shook her head and laughed at herself with disappointment. She did not know if it was destiny or fate.
The little robot flew back into the garret. There was a bed in the garret, with a thick curtain hanging around it. A pale and thin hand with blood vessels seen stretched out from the curtain. The little robot flew into his palm. The robot’s material was cold, but it seemed like the hand’s owner had been used to it. The hand just gently held the robot and took it in. Then, the curtain closed, and the garret returned to silence once again.
There was a computer in the garret. The only thing that had changed was that Christy’s car disappeared from the screen.
On the other side, Noah found the location of the tracker in the hospital. It was Collin’s office. Collin was reading the medical records. Hearing the knock on the door, he raised his head with a fake smile on his face.
The nurse came in and smiled, “Doctor Mueller, your handsome friend said he is leaving, and he wanted me to let you know.”
Collin smiled and stood up, “Let me take a look.”
Noah turned around and looked down at the medical records on his hand. Collin glanced at Noah when he walked past him. However, Noah was wearing glasses, and a mask covering the lower half of his face. Therefore, it was hard for Collin to see his appearance.
Noah followed him and the tracker on Noah’s phone kept blinking a red signal. It showed that the target was only 5 meters away from him, and that was Collin’s distance from him.
Noah looked at Collin’s white coat. He was sure that the tracker he was looking for was in Collin’s pocket.
Collin walked through the corridor and smiled, “Are you leaving now?”
Emma and Stony sat on the chair. They stood up when they heard Collin’s voice. Emma smiled at him, “I am sorry that I have to bother you every time.”
She looked at Collin but saw Noah with her gaze. Noah made a gesture to her when she was about to move her gaze.
Emma settled her mind and went back to normal.
“It is my luck to have you bother me.” Collin rubbed Stony’s head, “Little fellow, why did not you protect your mother this time?”
Stony clenched his fists and said in confidence, “I can protect her soon!”
Collin and Emma looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
Jaquan was back after buying the medicine and saw this scene. There was a complicated feeling inside him. He was jealous. But this scene was unprecedentedly harmonious as if they were a real family.
Jaquan was about to speak when someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw Arabella.
“Why are you here?” Jaquan was surprised.
Arabella’s smile frozen, “Am I not welcomed here?”
“No, but you should go home and have some rest. Aren’t you scared?”
“I want to visit Emma.” Arabella looked at Emma who was chatting happily with Collin, “She seems to like Doctor Mueller very much. So does her son. They look like a family.” As Arabella spoke, she glanced at Jaquan and wanted to see his reaction.
Jaquan frowned slightly, “Let’s go to them.”
Seeing Jaquan’s reaction, Arabella did not feel comfortable.
Jaquan walked to them and said, “What are you chatting about?” He was asking Collin but looking in Emma’s direction.
Emma did not say anything. She nodded slightly at Arabella politely and distantly.
Stony smiled and waved his hand, “Goodbye, Mr. Jaquan and Mr. Collin.”
Jaquan was stunned, “Where are you going?”
“We are going home.” Emma said in a flat voice.
Arabella started speaking, “Why don’t you come to my house and take some rest? I have many empty rooms.”
“There is no need.” Emma sounded distant.
Arabella stood there awkwardly.
“You can live in my house.” Collin invited them with his smile. There were some lights in his eyes.
“Sure. Thank you.”
Emma agreed!
Jaquan looked at Emma with surprise, whereas Arabella was relieved.
Collin was also surprised. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled and looked at Jaquan. Then, he said to Emma, “OK. Let me ask for a leave.”
“Mr. Collin, I want to go with you!” Stony raised his hands and shouted in excitement.
Collin squatted down, “Of course, little fellow.” He picked up Stony and turned around. Emma stopped them and said, “Stony, behave yourself.”
Without any notice, Emma obtained the black tracker in Collin’s pocket.
Emma immediately recognized the item the moment she got it. It was strange for her that Collin had this tracker, but when she thought of the children from the GY Temple, everything was clear.
She only interacted with Noah once. Noah was quiet and had many thoughts in his heart. Thinking about that night in the Single Paradise, the three of them went out for a long time. It was like they went to the KTV for work rather than having fun.
Christy worked for Emily, and Emma trusted Emily. Although Emily looked young, she was very organized and did not act like a person in her age. Her personality was not as lively as a girl of her age either.
To a certain extent, Emma and Emily were very similar to each other. They had no desire for new things in their lives.
However, she was assured that they would not take revenge on society. Therefore, Emma believed that Emily’s people, such as Noah and Christy, should be good people.
Therefore, after she saw Noah’s gesture, she gave a sign back to him that she would help.
“Do not worry, with me here, he will not cause any chaos.” Collin held Stony and left.
Emma smiled as she watched them leave. She was looking at Noah who was standing on the edge of the corridor. She made a gesture to Noah, telling him that she already got the tracker.
Noah pointed in the direction of the garbage can.
Emma smiled, implying that she received the message.
However, In Jaquan’s eyes, Emma was smiling and watching Collin leave. He was furious that Emma agreed to live in Collin’s house. He could not control himself even though Arabella was by his side.
“Why do you agree to live with him?” Jaquan grabbed Emma’s wrist, “I remember that we talked about this.”
Collin’s parents would not allow them to be together. It was hard to be a part of the Muellers.
Emma remembered everything.
But she had to tell Jaquan one thing.
“Not everyone can marry me.”
Emma was not very pretty. Her eyes were always calm. However, when she said the words, nobody found them funny. Instead, they felt the aura she released.
Just because she did not like to talk and had an indifferent temper did not mean that she was easy to bully.
Arabella sensed the meaning in her words and pursed her lips without interrupting. She raised her head and looked at Jaquan’s expression.
Jaquan was stunned.
As soon as Emma finished speaking, she turned around and left, as if Arabella and Jaquan’s reactions were not important to her at all. She passed by a garbage can and threw something into it without looking back. She walked in the direction of Collin’s office.
Jaquan’s heart was full of disappointment. He looked at Emma’s back and could not tell who she was talking about. Was it just about refusing Collin, or did she mean that she would reject the whole world except Collin? His heart was beating violently.
“Jaquan,” Arabella called him. She was so close to him, but for Jaquan, it sounded as if it was far away, “Let’s go and eat something.”
Jaquan looked at Emma’s disappearing back. He was silent for a long time before he answered, “OK.”
He was still holding the medicine in his hand. They passed by a few trash cans, but he did not throw them away. He just kept holding the bag tightly.
When they left, Noah pretended to be passing by and went to the trash can. He lowered his head and picked up the black tracker inside. Then, he turned around and made sure nobody saw him. Emma’s cold gaze was familiar to him. He felt as if he had seen it somewhere before.. However, Noah did not think too much and left.
