Chapter 26 The Explosion
When Emilia saw the man walking in, she could no longer hold back the tears she tried to suppress!
He did not leave!
He came back!
“Soy milk with sugar. Drink it while it’s still warm.”
Oliver placed the breakfast on the table and then put the lamb plushie on the other side of the room, “I want Olivia to see the toy she loved most as soon as she wakes up.
Soy milk with sugar?
These four simple words were enough to make Emilia feel warm, “You…..you still remember?”
It had to be remembered that this man left for 8 years!
They never spoke for the past 8 years, and she only mentioned this habit of hers once.
It was when they brought breakfast before she sent Oliver off on the train that he got enlisted.
Oliver smiled and said, “You said that you like them sweeter. It’s like adding a little bit of sugar to your life.”
Emilia felt touched. Even if this was only one simple gesture, it almost made her cry.
It felt as if this man was not as bad as she thought.
If he didn’t love her, why would he remember what she said once for such a long time?
There was a crack in her frozen cold heart. .
Although she did not say anything, she still slightly nodded her head.
“I know an old traditional Chinese medicine expert who’s extremely skilled. I would like for him to treat Olivia.”
Oliver took the chance to explain himself, “Chinese medicine, as you should know, would not require surgery, and it would bring lesser side effects to Olivia.”
This traditional Chinese medicine expert was obviously his eldest apprentice. He had already made the call when he went out earlier.
If there were no other problems, he should be able to reach Colorado within a day.
Bakk – –
Emilia who felt touched suddenly turned cold as soon as she grasped what Oliver said. Her soy milk fell to the ground as she screamed, “Get out!”
Oliver frowned and tried to continue, “I am only doing this for Olivia!”
Olivia was their daughter. In a situation like this, he needed his wife’s permission to settle how they should treat their daughter.
How would it be possible if they didn’t talk about it?
“I thought you were better. I didn’t think that you would still be the same crap!”
Emilia continued screaming, “I have never heard of using traditional Chinese medicine to treat leukemia!”
“Do you take me for an idiot?!”
“You are just trying to delay Olivia’s surgery so that she would miss the best treatment period! Then, you will be able to get the money back so that you can use it on your own?!”
She stood up!
She sounded even angrier, and her emotions were getting heated. She took the lamb plushie and threw it out of the door. “Take your fake concerns and leave immediately!”
She must have gone mad!
All of the happiness she felt earlier had completely disappeared!
“Please…let me explain!”
Oliver panicked, “It’s not what you think!”
Emilia’s eyes were filled with raging fire as she continued, “I don’t want to hear any explanation from you! Leave right now! Disappear from here now!”
As they continued arguing, they were getting louder and louder.
Oliver knew that his wife had no sense of security toward him. She felt the need to be cautious of him. This was why she had been on her toes the entire time.
But, things had already reached this point, and Oliver did not know what he could do to get his wife to trust him again!
NO!
As long as he had the chance to increase Emilia’s confidence in him, he should be able to make her believe in him.
Even if it was just a small pinch of faith, he was willing to try again. As long as they took one step forward, everything would get easier.
“Leave!
“Why aren’t you leaving?
“What are you still doing here?”
Emilia had been suppressing too much anger in her. How could they all be released with merely one or two sentences?
