Chapter 7 Absolutely Nothing Must Happen
Emily watered the medicinal plants with great care and trimmed some useless branches and leaves. She was busy for more than an hour. It was not until the sky was completely dark that she let out a long sigh of relief. This batch of medicinal herbs was extremely precious, a hundred times more expensive than the ones she gave to Mr. Hawking during the day. The few stalks in the day were sold for more than 20,000 yuan. If this batch of young seedlings were nurtured, their value would be even higher!
They were priceless!
Emily wiped her sweat. Her mood finally relaxed a little, especially when she thought of the two darlings waiting for her at home. Her mood was much better, and there was a soft smile on her face.
She packed up her tools, locked the door of the medicine garden, and then walked home.
When she got home, she pushed open the door, and the two little ones were wrapped in bath towels and playing chess with her grandmother. The two kittens, ‘Riceball’ and ‘Dumpling’, were excitedly circling around them. The scene was warm and happy. “Great-grandmother, you lost again.”
Ethan crossed his arms, a serious expression on his cute little face, he looked adorable. “Our Ethan is really getting better and better!”
Lucy’s eyes curved into a smile. Her grandchild was really smart. At such a young age, his logic and reasoning were almost like that of an adult. When Sofia saw Emily enter the door, she happily shouted in a soft and babyish voice, “Mommy is back!” As she spoke, her small body flew towards Emily. “Mommy, are you tired? Are you thirsty?” Ethan asked as he poured Emily a glass of water.
Emily’s heart softened. She held the two children in her arms and felt her heart fill with love.
For them, it was worth it no matter how much she had to give up!
The next morning, Emily sent the two children to kindergarten. Then, she took a taxi and went to the Hawking Family Medicine Hall.
The receptionist, Leona, was registering information on the computer. When she saw Emily enter the door, she stopped what she was doing and looked surprised. “Miss Armstrong, are you delivering new herbs today?”
Emily nodded. “I think so. I have a special batch of herbs I want to sell, I want to talk to Mr. Hawking about it. Does Mr. Hawking have time?”
Leona replied with some regret, “I’m sorry, Miss Armstrong. Mr. Hawking has a meeting this morning. He is not in now, you may have to come again in the afternoon.” “Is that so?”
Emily was a little disappointed, but she could not show it. She smiled politely at Leona and said, “Okay, then I will come in the afternoon.”
Just as she turned around and was about to leave, the door to the lounge at the side was suddenly pushed open forcefully. She jumped at the loud ‘bang’. Emily stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look.
She saw a tall man wearing gold-rimmed glasses hurriedly running to the front desk, his voice filled with anxiety. “Leona, is Mr. Hawking here? Young Master’s condition is not right. Let him take a look!” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Leona was shocked. “What’s wrong with Young Master Greens? Mr. Hawking has something to do today and is not in the medicine shop. He will only be back after noon.” The man’s expression suddenly changed. Mr. Hawking was not here. What should he do? “Inform Mr. Hawking immediately. The situation here is urgent. He must come back immediately!” “Okay!” Leona immediately took out her phone and made a call. This Young Master Greens was a regular customer here. His status was different from other customers. Moreover, Mr. Hawking and the Old Master of the Greens’ family were the best of friends. Nothing could happen to Young Master Greens. However, she could not get
through. Nothing but a dial tone came from the other side of the phone line. “Assistant Mason, I can’t get through to Mr. Hawking’s phone! What should I do?” She said to Mason anxiously. Mason’s face did not look good. Now, they could only go to the hospital!
He opened his mouth and was about to answer, but a crisp ‘bang’ sound came from the lounge.
It was the sound of a cup falling to the ground.
Mason and Leona looked at each other. Both of them were shocked and hurriedly ran into the lounge to check.
