Running Away from a Billionaire

Chapter 22 Take Pity, From What

Emily doesn't know where she is taken. In her daze, she was carried up a bed and thereafter someone was attending to her wounds.

"Apart from the gash on her forehead, there are no other injuries. The red spots on her body is rashes due to allergies this I will prescribe some medicine and they will subside very soon."

"It's fortunate that the gash on the forehead is not big, with the best medicine, it wouldn't leave a scar."

There was another person in the room who was talking but she couldn't identify the voice.

"Master Hunter, I already investigated, apparently yesterday morning it was Wendy who brought something for Missus to eat, thereafter Missus broke out in rashes."

"Thereafter it was Charles who found out that Kate wanted to harm Missus and Charles sent Kate away in anger."

"When Master Manson heard about it, he captured Missus to help Wendy vent her anger. Thereafter it was what we saw."

Emily could recognize Liam's voice. The other voice was the personal doctor of Master Hunter, Peter Yan. But in this room, there was another man who though he didn't speak, his stifling presence was felt by everyone. Thereafter it became quiet because everyone left but the presence was still there.

There was a cold and intense gaze on her that kept staring at her, by her side protecting her.

It's a pity her eyelids were too heavy, Emily tried several times but couldn't open her eyes.

Either she was too tired or the medicine started to take effect, she finally lost consciousness.

A commotion woke her and it felt that the room had a few more people. Someone respectfully greeted, "Madam Jackson."

Madam Jackson?

"Grandma!" Emily suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

Grandma! It's really grandma! Grandma is still alive. Grandma is not dead!

"What's wrong with this girl? You haven't recovered, quick lay down!" She gave Madam Jackson a fright.

Two servants came over immediately to ease Emily down. Emily stretched out her hands and grabbed Madam Jackson's dry wrinkled hands, her eyes became red immediately. She didn't shed a tear when she was hit and humiliated but now as soon as she saw Madam Jackson she couldn't help but cry uncontrollably.

"Grandma..." her voice was rough, she didn't say anything else but kept crying!

Madam Jackson was not her grandmother but in her previous life, she was the kindest to her.

But she didn't live long and passed on due to illness a year after her engagement to Hunter.

A year together, Madam Jackson's kindness and love made Emily feel truly loved as a kin.

Now that she was able to see her again, she was happy and excited and tears flowed continuously.

Hunter stared at the crying girl but remained expressionless throughout.

He didn't know when this girl and his grandmother had developed such a good relationship. Of course, he also didn't understand why his grandmother insisted that he and Emily get engaged.

Madam Jackson looked stunned at the tear-soaked face for a couple of seconds, felt so sorry for her, "Girl, who bullied you. Hunter, was it you?"

"..."

"Must be you." Madam Jackson took a pillow and threw it at him, "You scoundrel, she hasn't married into the family and you already disrespected her!"

Master Hunter didn't even have the chance to rebut and ate a face full of a pillow, he couldn't even dodge.

Emily blinked and wiped her tears. When she saw the high and mighty Master Hunter defeated by Grandma, she wanted to laugh.

She knows that Master Hunter treats everyone coldly. In his entire life, there were only two who can receive his warm attention. One is his brother Vincent and the other is Madam Jackson. "It's not Master Hunter." Emily wiped the corner of her eyes and starts to calm down.

"What Master, you should call him Hunter." Madam Jackson gently pats her hands. "Don't worry, although he looks little cold and fierce, but he is in effect a good person." Emily has no comments on whether he is a good person.

It was difficult to determine whether Master Hunter is a good person. It is hard to convince anyone that he is a good person when he functions in society with such a vicious and merciless role. But, Emily still nods her head in order not to let her worry.

Madam Jackson looks at the rashes on her face and the gash on her forehead and sighs. She turns and looks at Hunter, "Hunter, have everyone leave, I have something to say to Emily." Hunter never understood why would grandma regard Emily so highly.

But he always listens to what grandma says.

With a wave of his hand, everyone left. He went out the of door and walked towards the study.

In the room were Madam Jackson and Emily. Madam Jackson looked at Emily, her gaze was a little complicated. "I am very happy that you are willing to call me grandma. Grandma knows that you have a lot of questions especially why? insisted on you to be married to Hunter."

"Emily, there are a lot of things Grandma cannot say but I need you to understand that Grandma loves you and truly wants you to be happy." "Only Hunter can be your support and only he can protect you." "But..." Emily couldn't understand why would she be so concern over her happiness when they've only met a few times.

"Don't ask anything and don't over think. Remember what Grandma said that Grandma truly wants you to be happy."

Madam Jackson held tightly to her hands, "This house looks very peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the relationships are very complicated."

Emily nods, she had experienced these during her previous life.

But when she lived in the Jackson family for several years, she spent all her effort in trying to please Hunter. She didn't fully understand the Jackson Family. She knows fully well how ruthless the Jacksons are.

"You don't have to worry too much, if you are good to Hunter, he will protect you, do you understand?"

Emily wanted to say that Hunter has a lot of issues to deal with and doesn't have the time to protect her. But her savior today, really was Master Hunter!

When did he become so free that he could go personally to the Gale family to pull her out of the hot soup?

"Grandma's health is not too good and I don't know how long I can protect you. Just remember that if you and Hunter are doing well together, everything will be fine." Emily doesn't want her to worry. Having lived two lifetimes, she still doesn't know why Madam Jackson is so concerned over her.

"Grandma, I understand."

The servants came soon after and accompanied Madam back to her room to rest. Hunter was still in the study and didn't look like he will go to Emily. When she was the only one in the room, Emily got up and walked to the washroom. She tooks at herself in the mirror. She didn't know what injection Dr. Yan gave her but the rashes are subsiding. Once all the red marks subside, she will have her original looks back.

But at this house, she will invite lots of enemies with her face. She doesn't want Hunter to see her real self now. What shall she do?

What was frightening is as she went out of the washroom, there was someone in the room waiting for her.
