There was a knock on the door barely minutes after they entered the suite. When Lilin went over and opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of several people in office attire. One of them came forth and explained why they were there-Adam had to be taken away for investigation as several of the Adam Group's companies had been suspected of operating illegally within the country, in addition to evading taxes on a massive scale.
Melinda was stunned, and Lilin was at a loss too. However, Adam was remarkably calm for someone who had just wept bitterly. It was almost as if he had known that they would come for him sooner or later. He walked over calmly and said, "I'll go with you."
Melinda could not accept what was happening. "What's going on?"
Adam smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry I wasn't able to be the best version of myself for you and Lilin. I'll have to go with them now. You can contact my lawyer if you still want a divorce."
Tears welled up in Melinda's eyes. "Brian..."
"Dad!" Lilin exclaimed.
The people took Adam with them and left only Melinda and Lilin in the hotel suite.
Melinda sat blankly on the sofa and said nothing, so Lilin came over and held her hand. "Don't worry about Dad. He's just cooperating with the investigation. There's a chance the outcome might not be as bad as we think!"
Melinda came back to her senses. She forced a smile and reached out to pat her daughter's head. When Adam had been taken away, she finally understood why he had been so eager to sell all his assets within the country.
Unable to shake the emptiness she felt while in the suite, Melinda stood up and led her daughter to the door. "Let's go to the hospital and keep Miss Emily company. It's too quiet here, and we still have to take care of her."
Lilin did as her mother told her.
Corinne and Jeremy were still in Emily's ward when Melinda and Lilin arrived. Corinne did not trust the nurse to take care of her mother, so she wanted to be there and ensure that things did not go wrong again.
Melinda smiled at Jeremy and said, "You should bring Corinne home and get some rest, Mister Jeremy. Don't worry about Em. I'll take care of her here."
