Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Three days flew by in a blink.

Eason had solidly stayed at Emma’s house, accompanying her for the entire three days.

Over the last three days, he was always by Emma’s side, often whispering endearments so sugary they could be straight out of a romance novel.

Although Eason hadn’t noticed any significant improvement in Emma’s condition, Dr. Thompson observed substantial progress during her visit.

With continued perseverance for another ten days or so, there was a high chance that Emma would wake closed–off state.

up from her

After bidding farewell to Dr. Thompson, Eason glanced at Emma who was behaving exceptionally well, and Eason couldn’t help but feel a sense of exasperation.

The current Emma was completely closed off in her own world.

On rare occasions, she would quietly glance at him, but quickly turn her head away, continuing to be silent in her own world.

This version of Emma left Eason somewhat at a loss and increasingly filled with guilt.

Eason thought, ‘If it hadn’t been for me, perhaps Emma’s condition would never have reached this point.”

After standing quietly for a moment, Eason let out a resigned sigh. He spoke softly, “Emma, it’s time for us to brush our teeth and wash up.”

Emma showed no response.

Eason then took her hand and led her to the bathroom, carefully helping her brush her teeth and wash her face.

Eason meticulously wiped her face, his eyes gradually softening.

Actually, taking care of Emma wasn’t as torturous as he had imagined.

She just tilted her face up, letting him cover her face with a warm towel.

She was so obedient, like some kind of angel fallen to earth.

The only thing that made Eason uncomfortable was that such a cute and obedient girl had no spark in her eyes.

Eason couldn’t help but ask inwardly, “Is depression really that terrifying?

He gave an answer inside himself, ‘Yes, it really is.”

To take care of Emma, Eason thoroughly researched various information about depression.

Emma’s silence and inactivity indicated a very severe condition.

In such a state, every minute and every second, she harbored severe suicidal tendencies.

On the first day of his care, he briefly left to take a phone call.

When he came back, Emma was already holding a pair of scissors, hovering them over her wrist.

Eason was startled and immediately hid all sharp objects away.

And from then on, he never let Emma out of his sight again.

Dr. Thompson was always there to help, except during bath times.

Even while sleeping, Eason clung tightly to Emma, fearing she might suddenly leave.

At first, Eason felt extremely uncomfortable with such intimacy. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

But after three days, it changed.

He naturally began to see Emma as his responsibility. Whatever he did, his first thought was always to take care of her.

After washing Emma’s face, Eason patted her head, “Time to sleep.”

Emma obediently let Eason lead her.

In bed, Emma instinctively snuggled into Eason’s arms and comfortably closed her eyes.

Eason was used to it. He patted her back, whispering sweet nothings, while handling business on his phone.

That’s when his phone lit up.

[Eason, where have you been? I haven’t seen you at home. Tomorrow’s my birthday – are you seriously not planning on coming back for it?)

It was a message from Penny.

Eason paused for a moment.

Eason got into deep thoughts, Tomorrow was indeed Penny’s birthday.

“I had remembered it before.

‘However, these past few days, I had been completely absorbed in caring for Emma and had momentarily forgotten.”

Eason glanced at Emma in his arms, feeling torn.

He thought, I definitely had to go back for Penny’s birthday.

‘But I couldn’t just leave Emma alone here.”

Looking at Emma’s delicate profile, Eason made up his mind.

He replied, I’ll definitely come back for your birthday, but I might bring someone with me.]

At the Nicholas‘ Residence, Penny had been waiting eagerly for Enson’s reply, phone in hand.

When the screen went dark, she would light it up again.

And as it darkened once more, she’d light it up again.

Her eyes never left the chat box, afraid to miss any message from Enson.

Finally, Eason’s message arrived.

Penny thought, ‘He will

ly come back for my birthday

Penny hadn’t even started feeling happy when she saw the next line.

He might bring someone with him?‘

Penny felt a sudden jolt in her heart, an ominous premonition creeping in.

She suppressed the palpitations, her fingers gliding over the phone’s keyboard.

[Bringing someone? Who is it? Is it a friend of yours?]

Eason’s response was swift this time.

[You know her. It’s Emma.]

Emma!”

Penny felt dizzy and disoriented.

She thought, ‘Was Eason just making a token a

that day?

“After that, Eason and Emma wouldn’t interact much.

“But now, Eason said he’s bringing Emma to my birthday party?”

Penny felt like she was losing her mind.

She forced herself to calm down and then made a direct call.

Eason quickly declined the call, not picking up.

[Eason?] Penny’s heart raced inexplicably.

[Not convenient right now. Let’s meet tomorrow.] Eason sent another text..

in 6945

‘Not convenient,”

Penny stared at the words.

She thought to herself, “Why text back but not take a call?

‘Unless someone was with him.

‘At this hour, who could be with him?

‘Could it be…

‘Emma?

‘Eason is with Emma right now?”

Penny’s mind went blank.

‘Eason is serious about Emma?

‘He’s fallen for Emma?

‘Why, though?

‘What’s so special about Emma, apart from a decent face?

‘What does she have to deserve Eason’s affection, a woman with nothing to her name?

‘If those two actually end up together, I’d be the one who orchestrated it all, wouldn’t I?

Penny felt like she was about to pass out.

[I’m off to bed, no more talk] Eason sent another message.

Staring at his brief message, Penny’s mind raced with plenty of possibilities.

Each one was enough to drive her insane.

She bit her lower lip so hard, almost drawing blood, but she didn’t let go.

‘No, I couldn’t let this happen.

“I had been waiting for Eason for so many years.

‘Eason had to be mine.

‘Always mine.‘

JMMM

The next day, Eason patiently helped Emma with her morning routine and changed her into fresh clothes.

Then, he said to Emma, “It’s Penny’s birthday today, and I need to celebrate with her.”

Emma stared at him blankly as if she didn’t understand

Eason sighed, Tm worried about leaving you alone at home. How about I take you with me?”

Emma neither nodded nor shook her head, just looked at him.

Her expression tugged at Eason’s heartstrings, a mix of pity and affection

He stroked her hair, “I know you don’t like crowds. We’ll go now, meet Penny, and then I take you home. We won’t stay for the party, okay?”

Emma didn’t respond.

Eason took her hand, earnestly saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll always protect you”

His words were firm, like a vow
