Chapter 90
Franklin and Emily walked to the floor where Abigail lived. The nurse at the entrance of the stairs was frightened as she saw them and said awkwardly, "Miss Johnson, why are you here now? Wait a minute, let me tell her!"
Emily smiled, "There's no need to tell her. I'll just come in."
The nurse quickly said, "It's okay. It's okay. It's our duty. Just wait a minute. I'll be right back.”
"What's the matter? Do I need to inform her when I come to see my mom?" Emily asked in surprise.
The nurse said awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. I just... I don't know if Ms. Wintour is asleep.”
"That's all right, I'm her daughter. We're in," Emily said as she walked in. The nurse did not dare to stop her. She watched them come in, with her eyes filled with worry.
Franklin frowned. He thought the nurse was a little strange, but he couldn't figure out why.
When they walked into Abigail's ward, they heard something usual before they knocked on the door.
"What's that?" Emily asked in surprise.
The sound cut through the air. It's like an animalistic growl, but there was no wild life here.
Franklin covered her mouth and stopped her. He held her close to the door and listened to it.
It came again, and was definitely human. Ragged breath, muffled groan, desire is burning in the room.
When she realized what was happening, she quickly struggled out of Franklin's arms and ran away with Franklin.
Franklin coughed softly, and his ears turned red.
"What do you think about this?" Franklin asked.
Emily bit her lips and suddenly strode forward. She put the health care products on the nurse's table and said to the nurse, "Leave these to my mother. It's too late. I won't bother her."
After that, she quickly walked into the elevator.
Franklin also put down the gifts down and followed her in.
Emily didn't say a word, and Franklin was too awkward to ask her. After all, it was her mother's business, and it was really inappropriate for him to ask as a son-in-law.
All the way they were silent. When they got home, Emily lay down on the bed and sobbed.
He was a little surprised and looked at her speechlessly. Then he sat by the bed and patted her butt, "Are you crying?"
"Can't I cry?" Emily said angrily.
Franklin sneered, "I didn't say you can't, but... Your mother was seeing someone. You should bless her rather than crying alone. It's a little strange. Iris can have a miscarriage, so why can't your mother find another lover?"
"I'm not asking my mother to keep her chastity for Anthony. I just... I just can't accept it." Emily suddenly turned around with tearful eyes. Franklin looked at her in surprise. She was really crying.
He didn't know what to say for a moment, but after a while, he said, "There's nothing unacceptable. Your mother has a rough life. It's a miracle that she can wake up. I think it's good to find someone who truly loves her. You should bless her."
"But she's still my mother. No matter what happens, I know she's there, and I have a home. However, now that she's suddenly with another man. Maybe they'll get married. By then, she won't be my mother alone, and her home won't be my home.” Emily murmured.
Franklin looked at her with deep eyes.
In fact, it was hard for him to understand Emily's sadness. In his opinion, they were all grown-ups and didn't need to rely on others to make them feel like they belonged. He had never relied on his mother. If Mrs. Brent was willing to marry now, he would definitely send a generous dowry.
Unfortunately, she wouldn't give up everything now, so he didn't have to worry.
Although he could not understand Emily's sadness, he could feel her sadness.
She was really sad, like a poor little bird flying aimlessly, so sad and lonely.
"Now that your mother is married, her home is no longer your home. You still have me! I will always be your support.” Franklin said slowly. Emily looked at him in a daze. Really? Even if Avery came back, wouldn't it change?
She wanted to ask, but did not dare to ask, for fear of getting the answer that would make her sad.
"Franklin, do you know who is that man with my mother?" Emily asked with tears.
Franklin said, "I don’t know. We are standing outside. The nurses are guarding the entrance, so it must be someone in the hospital. Maybe the doctor there? Or the attending doctor?”
Franklin frowned and stood up immediately.
If he remembered correctly, he was the one who helped find the attending doctor for Abigail. He was a very experienced chief physician, not much older than Abigail. However... He was already married and had a pair of children.
"Oh, no way! I remember he's married and has children. My mother can't be a mistress!" Emily immediately jumped up from the bed and shouted.
Franklin was angry, "Call and ask! If it's really him, I'll take care of it.” "What do you do?" Emily asked timidly.
"Of course, I'll separate them.” Franklin said.
"Ah, so cruel. My mother will be very sad!" Emily was worried.
Franklin said coldly, "It's better to be sad for a moment than for a lifetime. I should call this attending doctor brother-in-law according to his seniority. He is the husband of my aunt's little daughter and always relies on my aunt's family. It is absolutely impossible for him to divorce. Besides, I won't allow him to divorce and be with your mother.”
She was shocked and didn't know how to answer.
She didn't expect that they were relatives.
If her mother really became Franklin's brother-in-law's mistress, then their relationship would be in a mess. Concerned with Iris and Lucas, this would probably become the messiest relationship in the world However, before she could call, Abigail called her.
