70. Father and Daughter Meeting
“It’s not difficult, Emily. You just need to find Mommy and Grandma then listen to them secretly. You can
bring Yemon if you’re afraid.” Louis nodded, reassuringly.
“Are you okay being left alone?” Emily’s voice was so sweet.
“It’s okay. I can call Mommy if anything happens.” Louis tapped Susan’s phone on his lap with his tiny
finger.
Once again, Emily puffed out her cheeks. Carrying Yemon, she crawled out of bed.
“Do it carefully, Emily. If anything happens, run here immediately.”
The little girl nodded before running out. Her long hair flowed beautifully down her back.
At the corner of the corridor, she stopped. Peeking over the edge of the wall, she looked around.
“Where do Mommy and Grandma go? If not to administration, do they go to the cafeteria? People
usually chat there.”
After considering for a moment, Emily came out from behind the wall. Unfortunately, she bumped into
someone. Her tiny body bounced and Yemon was thrown away.
Tears instantly gathered in Emily’s eyes. Her lips quivered, forced by the air from her rumbling lungs.
The man who bumped into him also fluttered. He stared wide eyes, grimacing under his black hat.
“Gosh …. Where are this child’s parents? How could they possibly let a little girl wander around the
hospital?”
However, as soon as he saw the toddler’s round face, his eyebrows moved up. “Emily?”
Hearing a familiar voice, Emily looked up. The man in front of her was so tall. He wore black clothes,
and the shadow of his hat covered his
face.
“It’s me, remember?” Frank tipped his hat.
Emily could recognize the man, but her body trembled even more violently. Sobs escaped her tiny lips.
Not wanting to cause a stir, Frank quickly picked up Emily and patted
“Hey, don’t cry. I won’t scold you.”
her back I
Emily’s cry was so small, like the sound of a kitten looking for its mother. She had actually tried to hold
it in, but the tears kept falling.
“Never mind, there’s nothing you need to be afraid of.”
Frank wiped the chubby cheeks with his thumb. However, a second later, Emily wet it again..
‘What should I do to make her stop crying? It could be bad if her
parents come. My whereabouts can be revealed.’
Without Jeremy, Frank Harper had to find the answers on his own. He cleared his throat before trying.
“Sweet Princess, why are you crying?” he asked gently. “Is something
hurt?”
Emily shook her head. She herself also didn’t understand why her heart was suddenly in turmoil.
Suddenly, Frank bent his knees and picked up Yemon. “Are you crying. because of this?” He handed
the plush to Emily. In an instant, her crying subsided.
“Thank you,” the toddler said while wiping her little red nose.
Frank subconsciously smiled. When Emily caught her breath and coughed, he patiently rubbed her
back. Meanwhile, his feet moved towards the cafeteria.
After sitting Emily on a chair, Frank took some water from the
dispenser. “Here, drink it. You must be thirsty.”
Emily took the paper cup offered by Frank, then placed it on the table. Instead of drinking, she traced
the rim of the glass with his tiny finger.
Frank was stunned to see that. What a coincidence, he also liked to
do it.
“You don’t want to drink?” he asked, still bent over.
Emily shook her head. “Mommy said we can’t accept food or drink from strangers.”
Frank laughed at the innocent answer. “Don’t worry. The water isn’t dangerous. I just took it from the
dispenser. Or, would you like me to make you some hot chocolate?”
Emily blinked at the direction the man was pointing. Before she could answer, Frank walked over and
showed her the steps for making chocolate.
Emily kept watching with an even expression. She had forgotten her mission. Now, she just wanted to
cultivate the feeling of comfort that rose in her chest.
“Here, try it. It smells delicious. This chocolate is imported from abroad.”
However, Emily was unmoved. She didn’t seem interested in the paper cup that was emitting thin
steam.
“Are you still afraid to drink it?” Frank asked softly. He didn’t like it if
chocolate into another glass and drank it.
“Look! I’m fine, right? This chocolate is safe to drink.”
Emily blinked innocently. The aroma of chocolate was indeed tempting. After playing with her palms,
she finally reached for the cup. However, just a second after she touched it, her hand moved
away.
“What’s wrong? Is it too hot?” Frank raised his eyebrows.
While keeping Yemon from falling, Emily took out a handkerchief from her pocket. “You weren’t careful.
The chocolate spilled and stained the glass. It got on my hand.”
Seeing how Emily cleaned her hand, Frank was stunned again. He felt that the universe was teasing
him through the little girl. His attitude was also excessive when he felt dirty.
“Okay, I’m sorry.”
Frank knelt down and helped Emily wipe her hands. After folding the cloth neatly, he returned it to her
pocket.
“Thank you, Sir.” The little girl smiled sweetly.
Frank’s heart tingled with a strange sensation. While scratching h temples, he nodded awkwardly. “So,
what are you doing here? Is someone in your family sick?”
Emily nodded. “My brother is sick. His hand is in a cast.”
“Why? Did he fall off the bike?” Frank replied casually.
“No, we don’t have a bike. He got hurt protecting me from a falling pile of books.”
Frank’s mouth rounded. He didn’t know there was such an accident in his library. “Oh, he is very brave Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
and great,” he said dryly.
“Yeah, I’m very lucky to have such a brave brother. Luckily, he’s getting better. Otherwise, I would feel
really guilty.”
Frank’s lips curved wryly. Security at the Savior library must be improved immediately.
“Then why were you running in the corridor earlier? Shouldn’t you accompany your brother?”
Emily’s eyes widened. She just remembered about her secret mission.
“That’s because Yemon was bored, I accompanied him for a walk.” Emily held up her plush in front of
Frank.
A sigh of laughter escaped the man. “Is this your favorite toy?”
“Yes, Yemon is the only toy I have. He always accompanies me to sleep and play.”
Frank’s brow furrowed. His eyes were now focused on the flower- shaped patch on Emily’s shirt.
‘Are her parents that poor? They can’t afford to give their child decent clothes, a bicycle, or even more
toys
Emily’s lips suddenly pursed. Her puffed cheeks looked very cute. She didn’t like it when other people
badmouth her mother.
Frank’s eyebrows rose to their maximum. He just remembered that the toddler in front of him was not
an ordinary toddler. Her
intelligence was far beyond average.
“Why so?”
“Because Yemon reminds me of Mommy who smells like lemons. So, whenever Mommy is busy
working, I just hug Yemon and imagine
that Mommy is beside me.”
Frank was stunned. The image of Kara had crossed his mind. Kara smelled like that too.
