Chapter 109 In Return
This woman was Emma’s biological mother, Eliza.
“Emma, Emma, are you alright? Your neck seems to be bleeding. Does it hurt badly… Let’s go to the
hospital right now!”
With Emma in her arms, Eliza checked the girl up and down when tears rolled down her face.
Eliza was studying the case files when the live broadcast about the hostages appeared on TV. Only then
did she know that her precious daughter was held hostage.
Without hesitation, Eliza drove to the scene at the fastest speed.
Fortunately, Emma just got a few cuts and bruises. Emma was not seriously injured, and Shirley should
take credit for that.
Eliza, who didn’t like Shirley, felt greatly indebted to Shirley
“Thank you very much. I don’t dare to imagine what would happen without you. You saved Emma, so you
are my savior too. My life will be yours from now on!”
Waving her hands, Shirley said, “It’s a trifle. I would do the same even if Erma wasn’t the hostage today.
However, my effort will be worthwhile if I can win your favor with it!”
Eliza said coldly, “Don’t flatter yourself. I still don’t like you. However, I won’t refuse to do what you ask in
return.”
“Well…”
Shirley felt a little embarrassed.
At the same time, Shirley thought, what a hard nut Ms. Honeycutt is! She has a big personality!
Right then, Emma pushed Eliza away, ran to Shirley, and hid behind Shirley. Emma said, “Who are you?
I don’t know you. My parents told me not to let strangers hug me. You are a bad person, so I will call the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpolice to take you away!”
“Emma, you…”
The arrogant Eliza instantly looked sad.
It was great damage to a mother that her daughter considered her a bad person and turned to the police
for help.
Shirley held Emma’s little hand and said gently, “Emma, she is not a bad person. Look, she was worried
about you. Distressed, she almost cries. Obviously, she loves you!”
Emma finally relaxed. She sized up the tall, beautiful, and domineering woman in front of her with
her bright eyes. Then, Emma said in a soft voice, “Well, who is she? I don’t know her. However, I feel that
I knew her as if I had seen her in my dreams…”
“Emma, in fact, she is your.
Shirley wanted to tell Emma the truth.
Emma knew that the Haley couple were not her biological parents. She always wanted to find out who
her biological parents were.
Emma was 6 years old now, and her birthday wish this year was to see her biological parents.
Half of this wish would come true if Shirley now told Emma that Eliza was her biological mother.
Eliza interrupted Shirley and looked at Emma coldly. “You should hate me. I am not a good woman. You
had better stay away from me, or I may hurt you.”
Then, Eliza said to Shirley, “Take her to the hospital for a check–up, please. As for the rest, you had
better keep your mouth shut… I will remember what you did today. I, Eliza, will avenge my enemies and
requite my benefactors!”
After that, Eliza left coolly.
Shirley looked at Eliza’s back and thought, this woman must have many stories, as well as secrets that
she does not want others to know…
Emma pulled Shirley by the hand, raised her little face, and asked innocently. ” rley, you haven’t
answered me yet. Who is that woman? I want to be friends with her. Why did she suddenly leave?”
“Well…”
In the end, Shirley didn’t tell Emma that Eliza was her mother. Shirley said meaningfully, “She is
very capable and great. Emma, remember that forgive her and don’t blame her no matter what happens
in the future. Understand?”
Emma was confused but still nodded obediently. “Okay. Got you.”
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the mess was finally over.
Shirley looked at Emma’s neck and said with worry, “Your wound isn’t deep, but we had better get it
dressed. I’ll send you to the hospital now.”
Looking around, Shirley couldn’t find Braden. She flared up.
Shirley thought, how selfish, cold–blooded, and heartless Braden is! He and I have shared one life
anyway, but he just left like that!
Shirley pulled Emma to the entrance of the mall and hailed a taxi there. Right then, Braden’s silver
limo slowly came over and then stopped in front of the two girls.
Shirley thought, he isn’t hopeless!
Shirley, who pulled a long face, relaxed.
She opened the door of the back seat and got in the car after Emma
Braden, who wore a pair of sunglasses in the driver’s seat, said coldly. “Emma stays, but you, get out of
the car.”
“What?”
Shirley was dumbfounded.
How could he say such cold words with his warm mouth? Shirley thought.
“It’s hot, and I just had a narrow escape. How can you be so heartless as to drive me out of the car? Do
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou want to watch me die from the heat?”
Shirley held the car door and argued for herself.
“Die?”
Braden curled his thin lips and then snorted. “I saw that you were anxious to die just now. You don’t
seem to cherish your life. Isn’t this a good chance for you to achieve your goal?”
“You!”
Shirley gritted her teeth with fury.
Shirley wondered, what the hell does he mean? I saved so many pec, sarcastically instead of
complimenting me!
:he teased me
“Braden, are you jealous of me?”
“Jealous?”
Braden frowned slightly. He didn’t understand what Shirley meant.
Shirley explained, “I saved those people in the mall on my own, so you, in comparison, look like an
incompetent idiot. Therefore… Are you jealous because I stole the show?”
Braden felt speechless.
There were finally some slight changes on his expressionless face… Braden laughed with anger.
Braden thought, what a weirdo she is!
However, it is better for her to think that I am mad at her out of jealousy rather than concern.
Braden was unwilling to admit that he had been worried about Shirley. There had been a moment
when he wanted to take the bomb for Shirley if possible!
To Braden, this thought was scary and ridiculous. I was so unlike myself Braden thought
Therefore, Braden was angry and vented his anger on the troublemaker, Shirley.
Braden felt that he might be sick.
