Chapter 45: Dull Pain In The Heart
After another week, Kevin was also discharged from the hospital. But he still had to recuperate at home and couldn’t go to work. Everything still fell on Daniel and Matthew.
Looking at his younger brother’s apparent thinness, he felt extremely sad but didn’t know what else to do.
“Young master, can you go down for breakfast? Or do I have to carry you?” Daniel said as soon as he poked his head into the room.
“I can walk, and my legs are normal.”
After saying that, Kevin got out of bed and walked towards the door. He felt like he was fine, but his family kept focusing on the doctor’s words that he had lost a lot of blood so he would have difficulty walking and needed someone by his side, so they kept keeping an eye on him constantly.
“Since the day you transfused a lot of blood from strangers, I’ve noticed that you’ve become more gentle in your speech.” Daniel put his hands in his pockets, walked straight next to his brother, and said humorously.
“Yes, fortunately, I received blood from a kind person. If it’s the blood of a ferocious person, what will happen?”
Both brothers laughed at the same time. Daniel proactively grabbed his brother’s arm when they both reached the stairs. This action warmed Kevin’s heart.
He never expected that one day, his love rival would be his younger brother. What can he do? He loves Daniel and always wants his brother to be happy. At first, he was angry but he didn’t hate Daniel and now he’s not angry anymore.
After Daniel finished breakfast, he went to the company. During this time, he had two assistants. When they sit and discuss and arrange work together, they look like a king with two concubines on either side.
“Daniel, my father told you to come to my house to eat grilled wild boar tonight. Yesterday his friend gave him a big wild boar leg, I made it and marinated it all.” Emily spoke up to invite Daniel as soon as Emma hugged the documents and left.
“Browse. I also like to eat grilled wild boar.” He nodded, took her hand, and signed a small signature on it.
Daniel must admit that love is incredibly powerful. For more than half a month now, he has had to shoulder an additional amount of work as a general manager, but he doesn’t feel tired because his little fiancee is always hanging around by his side.
She poured tea for him when he was thirsty, massaged his shoulders when he was tired, and massaged his head when she saw him rubbing his forehead.
When noon comes, he can lay his head on her leg and sleep. Her legs are softer than his expensive pillow at home.
Time passed quickly and when Daniel finished processing the stack of documents on his desk, the clock struck five. He excitedly left the swivel chair, took Emily’s hand, and pulled her to the elevator.
He also really wanted to hug and kiss her in the elevator, like the main male and female couples in romantic movies. However, he was afraid that she was still confused, so he could only wrap his arms around her waist.
“Is Kevin feeling much better?” She proactively leaned close to him and whispered.
“Can also walk around the house on his own. Occasionally he was a bit dizzy. I think he needs to eat nutritious foods for a long time to be fine. Do you want to go visit him?”
“I’m very afraid of my mother-in-law. I’ll have to wait until Kevin is completely well and my mother-in-law is no longer angry with me.”
“Such a shy person.”
Daniel lightly pinched the tip of Emily’s nose and hugged her even tighter. This is an elevator just for him, so he knows no one will bother them.
Fortunately, he asked his mother for permission to let him stay at her house, otherwise she would have lived in an unstable state of mind while living with her mother-in-law.
He didn’t know if her feelings for him would develop any further. As for him, as each day passes, he loves her more and more deeply.
As soon as they got home, both of them immediately went to the kitchen. Daniel is responsible for putting the meat in the oven, and Emily is responsible for chopping vegetables and making dipping sauce. After many times coming to her house, he became familiar with this kitchen.
“Oh.”
Daniel’s cry startled Emily. She quickly turned around and laughed when she saw the guy’s face contorted because meat marinade was splashed on his shirt. Looks like another shirt will be sent to the trash.
If she had known in advance, she would have brought him another shirt to change into. She didn’t think he would be so clumsy and careless.
“Go upstairs and change. By the way, take a bath to make your body comfortable. I made some T-shirts and shirts for you. They are hung in the closet.” She winked playfully.
“Did you sew them for me?”
“Yes, if a wife wants to show her affection for her husband, she can only cook and sew clothes for him. I feel that is the most practical.”
If it weren’t for the fact that his shirt was dirty, he would have pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. Her words touched the depths of his heart, touching him immensely.
That’s all he needs, a wife who can cook for him, even if it’s just a packet of noodles, and can sew a chipped shirt back for him.
“Thank you, I’ll go now.”
After smiling at her, Daniel quickly ran upstairs and into her room. And when he saw the elegantly colored men’s shirts and t-shirts hanging next to Emily’s dresses, he laughed with delight like a child receiving a gift.
He didn’t choose because he liked everything, so he grabbed a T-shirt and went into the bathroom. Just thinking about the scene of living with her in this room, happiness welled up in him.
However, the happiness in his heart did not last long when he discovered her diary in the dressing table drawer.
He didn’t mean to rummage through her personal belongings, just because he wanted to find the comb and accidentally saw it.
The notebook was open, and the neat writing that caught his eye attracted him to turn to the following pages.
“Kevin, I will love you forever.”
“Kevin, it’s hard to fade after a thousand years.”
Daniel’s voice trembled as he read the short but meaningful words. He knew those were just words from the past, but why did his heart suddenly contract so violently?
If only this diary were closed, his heart wouldn’t hurt. It was opened right on this page, showing that she had just looked at it and was just reviewing old memories.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
He told himself not to be too selfish. However, he is jealous of his brother.
After a while, Daniel came back down after regaining his composure. Looking at Emily’s small back moving quickly in the kitchen, tears almost flowed out of his eyes because of self-pity.
He is now like a child worried that his candy will be taken away.
“Oh, Daniel, quickly come and taste this dish.” She waved to him when she saw him standing there looking at her.
He quickly walked over and opened his mouth for her to put the piece of grilled wild boar wrapped in vegetables into his mouth. He didn’t feel the taste of the meat, he only felt salty and bitter.
“Very delicious. But Emily… I have to go now. I had an appointment with a friend but I forgot. He called just now and has already arrived at the pub.”
The happy expression on Emily’s face faded quickly. However, after a few seconds, she tried to smile and took a piece of wild boar meat rolled in vegetables and fed it to him.
Her father announced that he was about to return, but Daniel had to go. The meal was supposed to be fun with three people chatting together, but in the end, it would just be her and her father.
“Please eat a little more.” She put another piece of wild boar meat wrapped in vegetables into his mouth.
Daniel was busy chewing and swallowing so he didn’t have time to speak. He had to raise his hand to signal her to stop, otherwise, he was afraid he would choke and die.
He knew that if he sat down to eat with James, James would probably ask him to have a few glasses of wine.
He was afraid that if he had alcohol in his body and stood in front of her, he would remember what happened earlier and question her. Temporarily avoiding her is best.
“Okay Emily, please save some for me. Tomorrow I will come and bake and eat with you.”
“Yes.” Emily used a tissue to wipe away the grease stains on his lips and nodded.
She reluctantly saw him off to the gate and as the car drove away, her sparkling eyes were tinged with sadness.
After locking the gate, she took off her apron, went upstairs, and took a shower. Although the time she was in love with Daniel was not long, she could see the instability on his face.
He seemed sad but tried to act happy and she didn’t dare to ask, didn’t dare to expose him when he was trying to hide and run away.
Between the two of them, it turns out there is still a gap between husband and wife that should not exist.
When she came out of the bathroom, out of habit, she took the hair dryer to the window, watched the sunset, and dried her hair. If Daniel lingered, she would force him to dry her hair.
Kevin was discharged from the hospital by the doctor, which relieved her worries. She also felt sorry for Daniel because she couldn’t get rid of the old image.
“Daniel, you won’t blame me, right? I will try to forget quickly. Please give me a little more time.”
After sighing, she returned to the dressing table and collected her diary, photos, and everything related to old memories with Kevin, putting them in a bag.
Yesterday, she planned to collect them and burn them, but the unexpected call from Mike made her forget it all, and she didn’t remember until now.
“Could it be that Daniel has seen these things that’s why he has that attitude?” She paused and wondered.
At this time, the car driven by Daniel turned into a pub. No one made an appointment with him and waited for him, that was just an excuse.
However, he didn’t want to sit alone and drink the entire bottle of wine, so he took his phone and called Ryan, asking Ryan to come chat with him.
Since the day Daniel took on the responsibility of running Unicons Group with his brother, he rarely gathered with friends to drink, at most they only had dinner together and a glass of wine.
So, when Ryan heard Daniel invite him to the bar to drink a few bottles of wine, Ryan’s eyes almost fell out.
“Give me ten minutes, boss, I’ll ask another doctor to change the shift.”
Ryan’s shift hasn’t ended yet, but because the youngest son of Unicons Group suddenly invited him, he had to run to find someone to replace him.
Daniel rarely invited him to drink so he couldn’t refuse. He likes Daniel the most among his friends. Daniel’s personality is good, almost perfect, there is nothing to criticize.
As soon as the shift was transferred to another doctor, Ryan immediately took off his blouse and left the hospital.
Ryann’s family background is not that prominent, he comes from the countryside, tried his best to study, and got into this hospital thanks to his relationship with Daniel.
He and Daniel met by chance. That year, he was a second-year medical student, went on a picnic at the same location as Daniel’s group of friends, and helped one of Daniel’s friends treat his wound before the ambulance arrived, so the two of them knew each other.
