NovelOnlineChapter 239 Confident That She'd Retur
Seeing him, Emelie sull couldn’t hide the complex emotions on her face. William's voice was cold. “You know you
should feel guilty meeting her behind my back.”
Emelie paused, calmed herself down, and retorted, “Why should 1 feel guilty?”
william pushed aside the coffee cup Vanessa had used. “What were you discussing with her?”
“Do | need to report to you?” Emelie averted her gaze, focusing on her phone as she kept trying to turn it on.
She thought if it still wouldn't work, she’d have to get it repaired.
Considering the timing, William could easily guess the topic of her conversation with his mother. “Your father’s
tightcould extend his sentence. Did you ask her to help reduce his punishment?
Emelie’s phone still wouldn't turn on, even with the power bank connected. Outside, the rain poured harder.
Emelle felt the world was in chaos, and she was missing something
crucial. Her mood turned sour
Frustrated, she decided to leave. If the phone wouldn't work, she'd buy a new one.
Modern life without a phone made one feel disconnected from the world, and she was desperate to reestablish
that connection. As she walked past William, he grabbed her wrist.
Emelie frowned. “Let go.”
“You have resources right in front of you, yet you avoid them. First, you go to Samuel, and now my mother. Each
of them is more unreliable than the last,” William said, raising his eyes slightly.
Emelie’s voice was steady. ‘Those ‘unreliable’ people have helpedwithout conditions. What about you?”
William sneered. “Did you forget what I told you? The most expensive things are the ones without a price. You

Emelle’s phone buzzed, and she glanced at it. Surprisingly, it powered on. She twisted her wrist free from
William's grip and headed out without another word.
The phone was working. She intended to call Mona to check on her, but then she saw eight missed calls from
Eliana. It was all from that morning
Eliane fell silent. Her sister never called this frequently. A sense of dread filled Emelie. Suddenly, a bad feeling
crept into her heart
She immediately called back. Elana answered, and Emelie urgently asked, “Eli, what happened?
As soon as Eliana heard her voice, she started crying. “Emelie! Why didn’t you answer your phone?”
“My phone was dead. Is it about Mom?”
“Mom'’s heart stopped, and the doctors couldn't revive her!
Just then, thunder rumbled loudly. Emelle’s ears seemed to echo with it, leaving her momentarily deaf to
everything else.
Ellana continued, “They put Mom on skind of machine, so she’s alive for now. But they said we need to
decide whether to get an artificial heart. Emehe, please cback soon! | can’t handle this alona!!!
Holding her breath, Emehe replied, “I'm in Capebatt right now. I'll be there right away!”
she hung up and prepared to dash into the rain. Just as she was about to step into the downpour, someone
grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
It was William again. Furious, she yelled, “What do you want fromnow?”
William stared at her coldly. “Are you planning to run all the way to the hospital? it’s eight kilometers away. How
long do you think that will take?”
