Chapter 269 - Who Expressed Love First?

As he drove to the main road in the city, Jaquan took his phone to call Collin. He opened the phone speaker and placed the phone on the holder.

"I'm on the way to the hospital."

"What happened to Miss Arabella?" said Collin, sounding a little tired.

Jaquan looked guiltily at the rearview mirror and said, "No, it's not her."

It suddenly aroused interest of Collin. He asked with obvious relish, "It's Emma?"

"..."

Jaquan regretted opening the phone speaker, but if he turned it off, it seemed that he wanted to cover up the fact. He could only interrupt Collin, "Find me a female doctor."

"It sounds strange! You call me to look for a female doctor?" Collin paused for a moment, his tone rising. He smiled and said, "Why not me? I can't see your wound?"

"..."

Jaquan looked sulky and said, "I have to hang up now."

No one spoke in the car for a long time. It was extremely quiet.

Arabella lowered her head to look at the dirt on her clothes. She recalled the scene when she was dragged to the ground but Jaquan didn't ask her if she was afraid at all. In the past, he would at least take off his coat and put it on her, but today...

There seemed to be a gash on Arabella's leg with a burning sensation, but Jaquan only cared about Emma and wanted to send her to the hospital. Even Collin knew about Emma.

Arabella felt a little jealous, but as she turned her head to see Stony, she suddenly felt relieved. It was impossible for Jaquan to fall in love with Emma, for Emma had her child.

And it was because of Arabella that Emma got injured, so Jaquan took Emma to the hospital for the sake of Arabella.

At the thought of this, Arabella felt more at ease.

"Pull over," Arabella said, "I want to get out of the car."

Jaquan pulled up to the sidewalk and said, "Did you call ... the driver?"

Before he could finish it, Arabella opened the door and got off. She stood by the side of the road with her cheongsam covered with dirt and hair messy, but she looked to be in good mood.

She walked to the door of Emma's side and knocked on the window. Emma rolled down the window. Arabella said to her, "Sorry, I need to go back and change my clothes. Jaquan will take you to the hospital. I'll go to the hospital after I change my clothes."

It sounded like that it was Arabella who let Jaquan to send Emma to the hospital.

Emma knew that Arabella was emphasizing her position in Jaquan's heart. Emma nodded faintly but did not speak a word.

From the moment when Arabella showed the fear, Emma's attitude towards her had naturally changed and she became even colder than before.

Jaquan frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Arabella smiled and waved at him through the window. Then, she turned around and went to take a taxi.

Jaquan restarted the car and turned around to look at Emma. Before he could say anything, Emma said, "Just stop at the gate of the hospital."

She took Jaquan as a driver.

Jaquan didn't speak until they arrived at the entrance of the hospital. Both Emma and Stony got off the car.

"Thank you." Emma nodded politely.

"Thank you, Mr. Jaquan!" Stony was very enthusiastic.

Jaquan pulled out the key and got out of the car with them, "I'll take you there."

"Arabella has left." Emma said.

Jaquan looked at her in puzzlement, "I know it."

"She has left, why you...?" Emma was confused.

"What?" Jaquan took a few steps forward. He looked at his phone and immediately raised his head to say to Emma, "Hurry up. Collin has found a doctor."

Jaquan took the lead. Behind him, Stony quietly tugged at Emma's trousers and asked, "Mom, you're injured, aren't you?"

Emma didn't want him to know it. She had planned to deal with it quietly and apply some medicine after she got home. But Jaquan suddenly rushed in and took her to the hospital without saying a word.

"Just a slight injury." Emma touched Stony's head.

"Mom, don't lie to me." Stony looked at her nervously, "Mr. Jaquan is so worried. You must be seriously injured, right?"

"He's not worried about me." Emma suddenly didn't know how to explain Jaquan's strange behavior.

But she knew that Jaquan loved Arabella and his love for her would never change.

When Emily learned about the failure in the GY Temple, she was in Hump Village, where she received Christy's message which said "we lost it".

Today was a big day for Noah, and it was also the first time Vincent had received treatment. She told her father that she would go to KFC but came here.

Stephanie was not close to Spencer. They still spoke very little when they stayed with each other. Stephanie usually squatted there to watch Spencer hoeing, picking herbs, or checking the vegetables. Spencer built a greenhouse, where there were all kinds of vegetables.

Stephanie was about to begin her work, so she came here almost every day. When Emily came today, she was a little surprised when she saw the washing machine at the door. But when she saw the air conditioners installed in all of the rooms, she was not surprised at all. When she saw the brand-new kitchen utensils and extractor hood in the kitchen, she didn't say anything. She just pointed to the microwave oven and asked, "Are you sure the elderly people can use this?"

"I'm going to get him a cook," Stephanie said frankly, "But he doesn't agree with me."

There were a few clothes hanging on the clothesline. Spencer had very few clothes. Only four sets of clothes were found in his wardrobe. He wore the four sets all the year around. If it was cold, he would add one. If it was hot, he just took off one.

"He's old, and he lives here alone. What if..." Stephanie sighed, "What if something bad happens but I'm not with him? What if I can't come back at once?"

Emily nodded and said, "You're pretty thoughtful."

"I didn't expect you to be Mr. Vincent's girlfriend." The topic was suddenly changed.

Emily was still a little confused. She didn't understand why the topic was suddenly changed to Vincent.

Stephanie looked at Emily with her chin on her hand. The mole at the corner of her eye was not covered, and it looked particularly conspicuous now. "I guessed it when you called me to work for commercials, but..." Stephanie tilted her head and pondered for a while before saying, "You look very young but Mr. Vincent is very mature, so I didn't associate you with him."

Emily nodded and said, "I think so too."

Stephanie didn't reply.

She asked another question curiously, "I don't think you pursued him first, but Mr. Vincent doesn't seemed to be the one who would go after a girl because he looked standoffish...."

Emily lowered her head and looked at the text message on her phone. "We lost it" from Christy was very eye-catching.

She stopped the conversation with Stephanie, and took her phone and said, "I'm going to make a call."

After Emily left, Stephanie felt rather bored. She turned around to look at Harold who was standing still and asked, "Do you know who expressed love first?"

Harold was confused, "Who?"

Stephanie fell silent.
