Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Proclaiming Sovereignty!

The autumn wind was biting, even with the sun overhead, one could still feel a chill creeping in.

Having been cooped up in the hospital room, Emily Walker found it difficult to adapt to the change in temperature and couldn’t help but shiver.

Seeing this, Adrian Nash couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.

In a TV drama-like situation like this, should he take off his coat and drape it over her at this moment?

However…

Adrian glanced at himself, wearing only a shirt, wondering how he could take it off.

“If I’d known you’d be like this, I would have worn an extra coat.”

The two walked onto a small path in the garden and sat down on a wooden chair. Adrian couldn’t help but mock himself.

Emily listened, still somewhat puzzled, her face blank, “What?”

Adrian came to his senses and pursed his thin lips, “Nothing.”

As the two sat on the wooden chair, gazing at the blue sky and breathing in the fresh air, Emily’s mood improved significantly.

Looking at her profile, Adrian felt an indescribable sense of relief. Just watching her like this gave him a sense of contentment he couldn’t explain.

Did he owe her something in his past life? After all, he was the young master of the Nash Group, an object of desire for many women. Yet, in front of this woman, he felt utterly invisible.

Sitting next to another man, Emily also felt slightly uneasy, but she thought it was better than being trapped in the hospital room, facing an annoying face every day!

“How did you fall?” Seeing that she had nothing to say, Adrian couldn’t help but bring up a topic.

He had only heard from Antonio Bailey that she was kidnapped by Milton Modesto and fell from several dozen stories high. The reason was said to be at Rosanne Nichols’ engagement banquet, where Milton’s son mistook Emily for Rosanne, almost tarnishing her reputation.

When Baron Stuart found out, he beat the man to a pulp in anger, and even brought down the film and television company, never to recover again.

Without a company and his pride, Bryan Modesto couldn’t bear it and chose to commit suicide by jumping off the North River Building.

All of it, Milton Modesto blamed on Baron Stuart, which is why he kidnapped Emily and Rosanne Nichols on the North River Building.

However, Adrian’s casual remark made Emily’s heart suddenly ache.

“I fell on my own.” Her expression darkened, and a trace of pain appeared in her eyes.

Hearing this, Adrian frowned in confusion. Fell on her own?

Perhaps not wanting to continue the topic, Emily stood up and said, “It’s getting cold, let’s go back.”

With that, she stood up and headed towards the inpatient department.

At this time, Baron Stuart, who had come to the hospital from the company, returned to the hospital room only to find her missing. In a panic, he was about to search the entire hospital when a nurse came out and said she had gone to the backyard garden with a man.

Speaking of the man, Baron Stuart thought it was Wallace Carter.

However, standing at the entrance of the garden, seeing the two walking side by side, Baron Stuart’s heart suddenly burst into flames of anger!

He raised his eyes, looked at Adrian Nash, and finally fixed his gaze on Emily.

Seeing her thinly dressed, Baron Stuart walked over expressionlessly, draped the coat in his hand over her shoulders, and then picked her up, as if intentionally making a statement.

Emily, who had yet to react, was startled by his sudden move.
