“No matter what you do, I will stay with you. I believe you will do everything you want to do.”
“With me protecting you, no one will dare to bully you in the future. I will make up for the grievances you suffered in the past.”
Someone was talking in her ears. It was a very low voice. The figure was very tall. Occasionally, he would stand behind or close to her. Emily wanted to hear his voice, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t hear it. She wanted to see his face but she only saw blurry shadows.
She saw him walking towards a fire, and with a deafening explosion, his figure also disappeared.
…
Someone was shouting, and the sound could almost pierce through the eardrums.
Emily gasped and woke up. Donna was rushing over from the next room. After turning on the light, she nervously held Emily’s shoulder and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Do you want me to sleep with you?”
Emily looked at her strangely.
Donna reached out to touch her forehead, but before she could touch it, she was pushed away by Emily. Emily covered her head and asked, “Why are you here?”
“What?” Donna was stunned for a moment.
Emily sized up the room and found that it was a little strange, but also familiar.
“Why are you in my room? Who let you in? Where’s Susan?” Emily asked, frowning.
Donna was stunned for a long time before she let out a sigh of relief. She almost cried in disbelief as she looked at her. “You remember everything? That’s good. I thought … I’ll call them right now.” She rushed back to her room to get her phone.
Emily got up. As soon as she got off the bed, the dizziness became more and more intense. Her vision went blank and she fell again.
When she woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
The living room downstairs was full of people. Donna was talking to someone in a low voice. “She should be waking up soon. Don’t worry. Last night, she talked to me and asked me where Susan was. She remembered…”
Emily walked down the stairs. When the people in the living room heard the noise, they all stopped and turned to look at her in unison. Emily was wearing a white nightdress. Her black hair draped over her shoulders, making her little face even more delicate. Her eyes were as big and black as grapes. Her nose and mouth were small and cute.
She walked down in confusion. She swept her glance through the crowd and finally found Donna. Then she rushed over and held Donna’s arm. She asked, “Mom, why are there so many people?”
…
Everyone in the living room was silent for a few seconds before they looked at Donna in unison.
Donna was also stunned. Then, she pulled Emily and asked, “Didn’t you … what happened last night? Didn’t you ask me where Susan was? She was there.”
Donna pointed at Susan.
Emily looked in the direction of Donna’s finger and saw Susan. She smiled timidly and quickly hid behind Donna.
Everyone in the living room looked at each other for a moment, and they sighed.
Originally, they were worried that Donna would be too sad, so they rushed over. They did not expect to come here for anything.
When Donna sent everyone out, she apologized, “Last night, she really … I was sure that I was not dreaming. I was very sure that she asked me why I was there, and that tone was … But I don’t know why she became like this when she woke up…”
“Why don’t you take her to the hospital for a checkup?” Janessa said hesitantly, “What you’re saying is like … She has changed into another person.”
“Alright, I’ll take her to the hospital later,” Donna said with a nod.
Some Scavos also came. An assistant, a lawyer, and someone from the Legal Department was sent by Mr. Rolando.
When the people in the living room had left, they took out a will in their hands and asked Emily who was standing behind Donna, “Are you Miss Emily?”
“Don’t be afraid. Mom is here. These uncles are just asking for your name. Answer them properly.” Emily tightened her grip on Donna’s sleeves in fear. Donna gently patted her arm.
“Yes,” said Emily.
“Hello, Miss Emily. Mr. Vincent left you an inheritance before he passed away. The wills about the others have been read out. All the inheritance parts you have been assigned are here.” The lawyer pointed at the sofa and asked, “Can you sit down? I’ll read the inheritance to you now.”
When Emily was in the hospital, they had come once, but at that time, Emily did not know them. Donna said they could come back in a month. After Emily became better, she should have her judgment on these things.
However, they did not expect that after a month, the person they came to face was still that little girl.
Emily did not dare to talk alone and pulled Donna by the sleeve.
Donna comforted her. Then she walked over with her and sat on the sofa.
“Mr. Vincent has left you two properties in total. One is an apartment of 280 square meters. This is the key and address. Please confirm it. The other property is…” After the lawyer read out the property delivery, the legal officer behind him handed the property ownership certificate, the property ownership certificate, and the key to Emily. Then he read the next article, “Mr. Vincent left you a car, which is the same as the car that was burned. This is the key.. Please confirm it.”
