Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 396 Voracity
Emelie didn't know what to say.
She pursed her lips for a moment and finally said, "I refuse to believe that you have completely no feelings toward Daphne. I won't believe it. If you have no feelings toward her, why are you still protecting her even now?
"My mom... Because of Daphne, she has to use an artificial heart to stay alive. And it's also because of her that my mom can't think straight... I'm so scared that she won't recognize me any more next time I go home. I'm even more afraid that I can't see her ever again.
"Get off of me. Whenever I see you, I remember how you'll be shielding Daphne every time I want to get an explanation out of her. You protect and favor her... You said you like me, but that's not how you treat a person you like. That's not how you do it."
William looked at her and saw the tears in her eyes.
He felt it was quite unfair to him.
And this was not the first time she looked at him like that.
The last time it happened was during the cultural heritage boat factory incident. Daphne framed Emelie, saying that she pulled the rope and caused the heritage boat to fall and injure others. He chose to side with Daphne and reprimanded her.
However, he never really treated her that badly during those three years. That was the only time he told her to shut up.
This was how she saw him that day, and he ignored her. After that, no matter how much she had to suffer and no matter how much she had to endure, she would never secretly look at him again.
It was said that the crying baby got the milk. However, all babies loved milk. When the baby stopped crying, it was because the baby knew that no amount of crying would get the baby any milk anymore.
Now that she was looking at him the same way, William could feel the fire and the pain in him. He grabbed Emelie's hand as she tried to push him away and blurted, "I didn't lie to you. I wasn't protecting her."
"Daphne had to stay in the hospital because of the car accident at the time. She didn't have the energy to do anything else, and she had no way of knowing your father had a fight in the prison. She didn't bribe the caretaker. Why don't you think carefully about who else knows about the fight?"
Emelie stared at him coldly. "I don't want you to throw the question back at me, William. You want me to trust you? Fine, give me answers. Don't make me think and don't make me guess."
"Mrs. Middleton."
Emelie looked at him, eyes wide.
Vanessa? How could that be?
Emelie was confused.
Confused by William saying he didn't like Daphne, and by him saying he saw what happened during New Year's Eve a year ago.
However, the thing that shook her the most was when he said with full confidence that the person who bribed the caretaker wasn't Daphne. It was the kind Vanessa who treated her like a daughter.
She didn't know how much of this was the truth, and how much of this was made up. Her mind got carried away as she thought about them and didn't notice there was a change in the way William was looking at her.
He kissed her neck, and then her collarbone. The button of the cardigan she was wearing was easily unbuttoned. He kissed her shoulder again, then down to her chest.
William got even more sick. He was sick throughout. He said in an icy voice as he touched her, "You left me on the floor the whole night? You're getting brave, Emelie."
However, Emelie ignored everything he was saying until she suddenly felt that something was wrong with her body.
William's emotions swayed like a roller coaster as he said, "Just one time, angel. I want you."
Emelie wasn't in the mood and grabbed his hand. "William, stop it. I don't want to get infected."
William could be quite voracious. "Don't you want to give 100 Fahrenheit a try?"
Emelie gave it a try.
As in, she tried giving the CEO of Cloudex Corporation a good kick. William still had a fever in the end. After he was kicked in the thigh, he lost interest and simply kissed her before climbing back into her bed.
He refused to go to the hospital, so Emelie had no choice but to have him take the fever medicine from inside the medkit. It was lucky that the medicine was working. When she checked his temperature again later, it had already dropped to 98.96 Fahrenheit.
Emelie removed the cooling patch on his forehead. It left a white mark as it had been left there for too long and she gave the spot a touch.
William opened his eyes and said, "Go get something to eat, angel. Or you'll have stomach problems again."
"Just take care of yourself, alright?" Emelie pulled her hand back and left the room. She stood in the living room for a while before grabbing her phone and heading downstairs to have her breakfast in the restaurant.

Emelia paused and suddenly realized why Bryan had called her.
As expected, Bryan said, "It will only benefit you if you agree to the Allens' request. I'll raise your annual salary by 5% next year."
