Chapter 242 Compliance


    I didn’t take long for Emelie to respond. After a short pause, she <b>said</b>, “Fine.”


    William fixed his gaze on her


    Emelie sneezed<b>. </b>Her voice was here when she said, “Mr. Middleton, do you have to act so surprised? Didn’t you already expect this?”


    Wim responded with a faint hum and said, “I <b>did</b><b>.</b><b>”</b>Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Emelle sighed before she immediately asked, “When will the doctors arrive? My mom can only hold on for three more days, at most”


    “make it work since I’ve promised you” Then, with his head resting against his hand, William casually asked, “Can Mrs. Hoven take on another surgery today?


    What do you mean?””


    If she can handle it, we can get the surgery done today”


    Emelie was stunned at the words. She could tell that something was off. “Didn’t you say that the medical team is from Lablos?


    Wim was liked by her rain–soaked appearance. He scooted to the door and grabbed her wrist to pull her into the car.


    “You know that I have it all within my expectations<b>, </b><b>so </b>is it that surprising that I’ve brought them here in advance? The doctors and machines arrived in Capebait City three days age, so Mrs. Hoven is free to undergo surgery as long as she can with stand It,”


    The heater in the car was on full st. The drastic temperature change caused Emeleto shiver.


    “I’m not sure <b>if </b>she’s fit to undergo another surgery today. I’ll love to ask the attending doctor.” Wi nced at Ashton standing at the door and said, “Get it sorted out.”


    As nodded and then closed the door.


    Emelie nimed to leave, but Wim held her hand.


    “Go to Eastbay,” he ordered Abel, who responded by starting the engine.


    Previously, Will would only bring Emelie to Eastbay when he was yearning for sex


    Emelie shot <b>him </b>a re as she held back her rage. “Even though I’ve agreed to return to your side, are you that eager for sex? My mom is still in the ICU. Can’t you show some respect


    William was briefly stunned before heughed. <b>“</b>Who’s the one having such dirty thoughts?”


    Emelle seethed “Don’t use me of anything he that!”


    William calmly exined, “I’m just sending you back for achange of clothes. I’m not that desperate.“”


    Emelie paused before saying. “My apartment is closer than Eastbay. Take me back to my apartment”


    “aty medical team has to take over everything from the current doctor. Even if the surgery can start at once<b>, </b>the arrangements will still take two in three hours. What’s the rush? Walking there will just be a waste of time.”


    e you, who doesn’t even <b>bother </b>to care for your family, can never


    “Staying by my mom’s side, even if it means doing nothing, is never a waste of time. Someone selfish like y understand.”


    William stared at <b>her </b>but surprisingly didn’t retort.


    Emelie had often spent the night at Eastbay, so some of her clothes were already there.


    She wasn’t in the mood for a shower, so she simply changed <b>into </b>a fresh set of clothes before getting ready to leave


    William opened a bottle of wine at the bar and said, <b>“</b>You’ll be staying at Eastbay from today orward.”


    Emelle’s hands paused at the <b>door</b>. She turned to look at him


    William raised the ss to his <b>lips </b>and took a <b>sip</b>. “Just because I don’t want sex today doesn’t mean that won’t want it tomorrow. I’m not going to let you at easy.” Emelie’s grip on the door handle tightened. She then walked out without saying a word.


    She hurried down the stairs and saw Abel waiting.


    “M, Hoven, are <b>you </b>heading back to the hospital? Let me send you there.”


    Emelie took a deep breath and didn’t <b>refuse </b>the offer. “Thank you.”


    “There’s no need to thank me.” Abel held an umbre over her as she got into theca.


    At the bar, William was finishing his ss of wine when he sensed that something was off


    He usually only <b>drank </b>when he was in a <b>bad </b>mood Bet right now<b>, </b>he was.. feeling great.


    William picked up his phone to call jayden, only to remember that Jayden was still in Wimstour City. So, he called Es instead.


    <b>“</b><b>Do </b>you want to grab a drink?”


    Sure. Westward Club)


    Wim <b>gave </b>a hum <b>in </b>agreement and then hung up <b>the </b><b>call</b>


    William had chosen the right person to call. Es was looking for a drinking buddy too, but it wasn’t because he was in a good mood. It was quite the opposite.


    as would usually turn <b>to </b>jayden with his problems, but his best friend was currently on <b>a </b>business trip in Wintour City. So, when William offered to go out for some drinks, has decided to ept


    “Can you believe how ridiculous Ashley is? is there <b>anyone </b>else who can put up with her besides me? lias ranted, drinking a shot aber each sentence.


    Hontinued, “She hasn’t been home for days, so I went to <b>her </bw firm. <b>And </b>guess what happened?”
