Chapter 339
When Emma ordered a taxi, she had already chosen a destination.
As soon as they arrived, the driver couldn’t wait to drop Emma and Eason off, just because the two
were
too smelly.
At the gate of themunity, Eason held Emma in his arms. When the hot wind blew on them, the
stench drifted around.
Eason nced at Emma gloomily. “Tell me where you live.”
Of course, Emma would not speak.
Eason had no choice but to search her bag for the key.
The sticker on the key was written with “4#601“.
Eason thought, ‘All right, I got her address.”
He sighed and carried Emma upstairs.
He put her on the bed and was about to leave.
All of a sudden, Emma muttered, “Water. I want water.”
“You want water? Who do you think you are?” Eason was furious, feeling this woman was pushing her
luck.
He red at her for a long time. Then, he could only go to boil water, pour it into the ss, and hold it
to Emma’s mouth.
Emma eagerly took a few sips of water.
A secondter, she fell asleep again.

“Nothing else, right?” Eason narrowed his eyes.
After three minutes, Emma didn’t move or make any sound.
Eason was about to leave.
Suddenly, Emma sat up.
She vomited violently again.
Eason looked at the red and yellow objects on the ground, almost going crazy.
He thought, ‘This woman is quite good at vomiting. She threw up twice, once all on me, and once all on
the ground. She herself is actually still clean.
“Water,” Emma called out again.
Eason was at a loss for words.
He had to go get some water once more.
After pouring the water, he couldn’t stand the mess on the ground anymore, so he cleaned it up.
He thought, ‘Now that I’ve cleaned the floor, I’ll wash my clothes.‘
When he was done, it was already past midnight.
Eason thought he could finally leave.
However, he turned around and found Emma’s face red. She actually had a fever.
Eason was speechless.
He took a warm towel and put it on Emma’s forehead. Then he rummaged through the cab for
medicine.
Eason took care of Emma for a long time. Finally, her fever subsided.

Eason was exhausted. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep by the bed.
The next day.
Emma opened her eyes in a daze.
Her head hurt a little.
She stretched out her hand with difficulty and rubbed her temples.
Emma was thinking about what had happenedst night.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of breathing.
Emma’s body instantly stiffened.
She turned her head numbly.
Then, she saw an unfamiliar man sleeping soundly with his head on her bed.
Emma was badly horrified.
She screamed all of a sudden.
That voice was loud and shrill.
Eason, who had only slept for a short while, was woken up by the noise.
“Why… why are you here?” Emma looked at him in terror.
Eason paused for a moment. “Why do you think I’m here?”
Emma had lost her mind. She instantly broke down. “Get out! Get out!”
Eason frowned, thinking, ‘I’ve served this woman for a whole night. She didn’t thank me and instead
told me to get out.”

Eason lost his temper. He stood up and said coldly, “Goodbye.”
After that, he left without looking back.
Eason went our
of the room.
Emma slowly stopped trembling.
For so many years, she had been the only one to enter this small home before.
Even her parents had never been to this ce.
But someone else came in while she was asleep.
Just thinking about it made Emma feel extremely upset.
It took her a lot of effort to calm down.
Emma remembered that she had installed a camera in the room.
Although she had always been the only one in this room, the camera somehow gave her a sense of
security.
Now, this camera happened toe in handy.
Emma wanted to know what had happenedst night.
She took out the memory stick and plugged it into theputer.
Then, she took a deep breath and yed the video fromst night.
She used the time bar to skip to the moment Eason brought her in.
Emma’s pupils contracted slightly.
She thought, ‘I was…

Her memories came back to her.
Last night, she underestimated the effect of the liquor. It seemed that she had got drunk.
She realized that Eason had taken her home.
Emma felt a little guilty.
She thought, ‘Did I wrong this man again? But even though he took me home, he didn’t have to stay
overnight.‘
Emma continued to watch the video.
Half an hourter.
Emma covered her face, terribly embarrassed.
She thought, ‘I went too farst night. Eason stayed to take care of me. Yet I yelled at him and drove
him
away.‘
Emma took a few deep breaths and watched the video again.
Meanwhile, she fell into a trance.
She thought, ‘Eason is so kind. My vomit was disgusting, but he cleaned it up for me.
‘I asked for water from time to time. Even I feel that was annoying. However, Eason fed me water
patiently.
‘He noticed that I had a fever. He fed me medicine and cooled me down.”
As Emma watched the video, her heart somehow beat faster and faster,pletely out of her control.
What kind of feeling was this?
Emma was a bit confused and scared.

She trembled and asked online: [When I think of someone, my heart beats faster. Is it an illness?]
Soon, someone replied.
[Yes. It’s an illness named love.]
Emma stared fixedly at the line of words.
She thought, ‘Love… I’m in love with Eason?‘
Emma didn’t want to believe it.
She tried hard to think about other things.
However, no matter what she was thinking, Eason would appear in her mind from time to time.
Moreover, he was no longer ck and gray.
He had be a colorful ant in her eyes.
In her dark world, there were actually other colors except for ck and gray.

Emma was in a trance.
For the first time in five years, she stood in front of the mirror seriously.
The girl in the mirror was wearing ordinary clothes. She was slightly fat, her face was yellow, and her
hair was messy.
No one would take another look at such a girl.
And what about Eason?
Emma tried her best to recall what Eason looked like.
She thought that he must be very handsome. Otherwise, the waitress who served the dishes yesterday
would not have peeped at him so many times.

In most people’s eyes, she and Eason were not a good match at all.
Emma lowered her gaze.
She hid her feelings deeply.
After all, she and Eason would probably never meet again.
If others knew what she was thinking, they wouldugh at her.
Emma took a deep breath. Seeing that it was gettingte, she hurriedly tidied up and went out to work.
Even though she rushed over, she waste.
When Emma arrived at her office, she quickly continued to work on her proposal.
In the afternoon.
Emma walked out of the office, intending to hand over the proposal to Susan face to face.
Yet as soon as she arrived at the door of Susan’s office, she saw Eason inside.
The two of them were talking seriously.
Emma’s body instantly stiffened.
She subconsciously turned around and wanted to flee.
“Emma.” Susan saw her. “Are you here to hand in the proposal? Come in. I happen to have something
to
tell you.”
Emma had no choice but to brace herself and walk in.
Eason only nced at Emma calmly. There was no more reaction from him.
“I’m sorry,” Emma murmured.

Eason thought, ‘She apologized again.”
He raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Susan felt that the atmosphere between them was a little strange, so she couldn’t help asking, “What’s
wrong?”
“Nothing. Let’s get down to business,” Eason answered.
Susan looked at them but could not find anything, so she said, “Emma, our department has never
developed online games before, so we have to cooperate with Eason. Hispany is experienced in
it. You should discuss your proposals with him in the future.”
Emma thought, “Cooperate with Eason?’
She suddenly raised her head and panicked.
