Chapter 274 - He Was Done 2

Emma had arrived at Collin's office. Stony was standing at the door, obediently. A few nurses were teasing him, but he said seriously in a childish voice, "You guys, please do not try to trick me."

The nurses laughed even harder, "Is this boy Doctor Mueller's son? They do not look like each other. This boy is so cute!"

Emma walked forward and said to the nurses, "No, he is my son."

When the nurses saw her, they immediately stopped laughing and had some thoughts in their hearts. Doctor Mueller was so handsome. Why would he find someone that is so normal?

Emma knew what they were thinking. Over these years, she was very familiar with the disappointment in people's eyes when they saw her face. It was like her ordinary look did not meet their standards for beautiful things.

But she never cared about it. Beauty was not about appearance but the inside. She kept this principle in her mind. Therefore, no matter how beautiful a woman was, she was never surprised or jealous.

"Where's Doctor Mueller?" Emma asked Stony.

A nurse answered before Stony, "Doctor Mueller is in the changing room."

"Please tell him that we will go back first." Emma nodded slightly. Then, she picked up Stony's hand, turned around, and left.

Stony waved goodbye to the nurses politely.

The nurses waved their hands back and stared at Emma's back.

"She looks familiar. Was she the one who was bitten by a snake and did not make any sound?"

"It is her! The boy is her son!"

"Now I remember!"

"Wait, I suddenly feel that she and Doctor Mueller are perfect for each other!"

"Yes, Doctor Mueller always has a smile, whereas she never smiles. Wow!"

"Who are you talking about?" Collin suddenly interrupted.

The nurses were nervous and hurriedly turned around. Collin had changed into a dark coat with an orange sweater underneath. There was a gray velvet scarf in his hand, making the joints of his fingers slender and beautiful. His fingernails were neat. He was slightly holding the scarf, which revealed his perfect and attractive hands.

The nurses were all staring at his fingers and could not move their eyes.

One of them remembered Emma's words and told Collin before he left.

After knowing that Emma had left, Collin held his glasses and sighed softly, "Emma, why did you lie to me? I am hurt..."

He covered his chest as if he were hurt, but there was a slice of joy in his eyes under the lenses. He still had that white coat hanging on his arm. He touched the pocket of the coat.

The thing inside his pocket had gone. So far, Stony and Emma were the only ones that had come into close contact with him.

"How many secrets does this woman have?" Collin thought to himself and dialed a number, "Director, I am not taking leave anymore. The plan has changed..."

Emma brought Stony out of the hospital door. Stony asked, "Mom, what is that thing?"

She would never do it without Stony's cooperation. However, she knew that Collin would find out when he changed his clothes. She did not know how to explain, so she could only leave.

She hoped that they did not cause him any trouble.

"It is a black tracker." Emma explained, "You can track a person wherever he goes if you have this on him."

Maybe this was the difference between her and other mothers. She would treat her son's questions seriously. Instead, she would answer every question Stony asked with utmost seriousness. If she did not have an answer, they would go to the library and find out the answers together.

Stony exclaimed, "Wow, this is impressive."

Emma continued explaining, "There are many accessories, such as bags and buttons on clothes. They could be made into trackers. They are exquisite and unremarkable, but they are more expensive."

After Stony heard this, he looked at Emma and did not say anything, as if he had recalled something.

Emma tilted her head to him, "What do you want to ask?"

"Mom," Stony looked at Emma and asked, "Why don't you say goodbye to Mr. Jaquan?"

"I said it." Emma thought for a moment. She thought she should have said it.

"That is good to hear." Stony was relieved.

There was one more thing he did not say because he did not want to make his mother angry.

He liked Mr. Jaquan more than Mr. Collin.

On the other side, not long after Jaquan took Arabella out to eat, he received a phone call from Ferne. Ferne told Arabella not to go out for the new few days. He was worried that someone would recognize her and find an opportunity to take revenge.

After hanging up the phone, Jaquan drove Arabella back. It was dark when he arrived home. He bought four sets of vegetable pancakes for the first time and delivered them to Collin's door. He did not knock on the door, did not enter the password, but just hung them on the door handle.

After half an hour, Collin called Jaquan.

"Thank you for the dinner." His tone was still flat.

Jaquan was embarrassed, "I bought them for Stony, not for you."

"Really?" Collin sounded relaxed, "I had three servings by myself."

Jaquan could not believe his ears, "How could you eat this much?"

"I was too hungry." Collin yawned, "I am tired now. I am hanging up."

"Wait a moment!" Jaquan rubbed his nose, "Well..."

"What?"

Jaquan raised his head and saw the bag of medicine on the coffee table. He immediately said, "I forgot to give them the medicine I bought."

"Who?"

"..." Jaquan gritted his teeth. "Collin!"

"Send it yourself," Collin covered his mouth and laughed, "Do you want me to send it for you?"

Jaquan hung up the phone hatefully, then picked up the bag and went upstairs.

He was thinking about what he needed to say when he saw Emma. However, when he entered the password and get in Collin's apartment, Collin was the only one who was sitting on the sofa and soaking his feet. No one else was here.

Jaquan's eyes widened, "Where are they?"

"Who?" Collin dragged his voice in a lazy tone.

Jaquan tossed out the cotton slippers in his hand, "Collin! Could you just be normal?"

Collin laughed maliciously, "You are the one who came in and looked suspicious. How would I know who you are looking for? Arabella? She is not here with me."

Jaquan's expression could not be worse.

He rushed to the sofa and was about to strangle Collin. Collin immediately reached out and shouted, "I lost. I lost!"

Jaquan glared at him fiercely. It looked like he would strangle Collin if Collin did not tell the truth.

Collin stopped teasing him and shrugged his shoulders, "Emma was not here. She left when we were at the hospital."

"What?" Jaquan could make a guess, but he was still surprised, "I thought she said that..."

"Never take people's words seriously."

Jaquan was stunned. But Emma did move in the last time when she said that she was staying with him.

"Jaquan," Collin put down the medical record in his hand and looked at Jaquan, his friend for many years, "What do you mean?"

"What?" Jaquan did not understand.

"You already have Arabella, why are you still interested in Emma?" Collin's question was sharp, "Emma is not stupid. She would not allow herself to be used by you."

Jaquan frowned, "I did not use her."

When he rushed into the bathroom and saw the wound on Emma's shoulder, his anger seemed to have been explained, but he intuitively denied it.

"No, you did not." Collin analyzed for Jaquan, "You will only make Arabella hate her more if you continue treating her well."

Collin's words remained in Jaquan's mind when he walked out.

"What would Emma do?"

"She will only stay farther away from you."

He looked at the bag of medicine in his hand, walked to the trash can at the elevator entrance, and threw it in.

He got into the elevator and went back to his apartment. He changed his shoes, took a shower, changed his clothes, dried his hair, went to bed, turned off the lights, and slept. All the moves were like a rigid robot.

After half an hour, he got up from the bed, turned on the lights, opened the door, and went upstairs. He opened the lid of the trash can by the elevator and took the bag of medicine out.

"I will pay for the breakfast. How much is it?"

"Five thousand."

"It is daylight robbery!"

"Then don't go to the wrong room next time. See you."

"I do not want to be hospitalized."

"What do you want? You want to live in my house, don't you?"

"Yes, sorry to disturb you."

"I will do it."

"Thank you. But there is no need to do that."

"Why are you so hostile to me?"

"I just want to be nice. Has your mother been hurt by a man before? Why does she treat me..."

"Yes, I was hurt by a man. Therefore, I do not like you."

"Well, thank you for saving Arabella. Let me know if you need anything in the future."

"No need."

"It was no bother."

...

Jaquan's mind was full of Emma. Her indifferent face, her cold words...

After he entered the door, the door locked. He leaned against the door. The moment of Emma looked at him, leaned over, and started kissing him...

He pressed between his eyebrows. He told himself to stop thinking about Emma.

However, he could feel Emma's wet and soft lips on his again. He closed his eyes and the sense of alcohol appeared again. It was cold and intoxicating.

He was done.

Jaquan told himself that he was so done.
