Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson)

Chapter 471: As Long as the Family Is Whole

Vegetable!

This word made Emily completely desperate.

Liam couldn’t bear to see her in a state of utter helplessness.

However, if he gave up now, all his efforts would in vain.

At this time, Liam answered a call.

Turning around, he looked at Emily and said, "Miss Emily, someone wants to see you."

Emily and Liam’s subordinates went out together.

When there were only Hunter and Liam left in the ward, Liam felt his hair stand on end.

"Young Master, I said that just now … in order to make Miss Emily concerned about you. I didn’t intentionally damage your image."

His forehead was sweaty. Even if Young Master hadn’t woken up yet, he had a foreboding!

Hunter opened his eyes, and his cold gaze frightened Liam that Liam felt stifling.

He panicked and stammered, "I’ve read a lot of articles and they say that a man that falls sick will easily arouse a woman’s compassion."

Hunter snorted and sat up. He lifted the blanket and got out of the bed and went straight to the bathroom.

A while later, he went out, cold.

Liam whispered, "Young Master, how long are you going to pretend to be unconscious?"

"Again?"

"No, no, no. I mean, how long are you going to sleep?"

How could the wise and dauntless Young Master pretend to be unconscious?

He just accidentally "fell asleep".

"How did she react?" Hunter sat back on the bed and covered himself with the blanket.

How could such an arrogant man look sick?

"Of course Miss Emily is freaked out. Her face paled."

Hunter’s heart ached.

Liam added, "It’s not good for us to lie to her, but I can tell that Miss Emily still cares about you, Young Master."

"I need you to tell me?"

"No, no, no. Young Master naturally understands this in his heart." Liam wiped his sweat.

Liam stopped because of his interruption. However, Hunter was reluctant to hear so little.

"What else did she do? How much did she care?"

"She panicked at the corridor when she heard me talking about how hard you lived in the past two years …"

"How can it be hard?"

"…" Did Hunter need to show off to him?

Everyone knew how bitterly Hunter had lived in the past two years.

However, Liam did not dare to speak improperly.

"It’s fine. Anyway, that … I feel that as long as you play harder, you will look weaker …"

"Do I need to act?"

"No, no. You don’t. I’m just saying, you should sleep …"

Before Liam could finish his words, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded.

Liam was a little nervous and trotted over to take a look.

After confirming that it was not Emily, he turned to look at Hunter and said, "Young Master, it’s not …"

However, what was Young Master doing on the bed?

The proud man who had just said that he didn’t need to act was lying on the bed with his eyes closed … like a corpse.

Liam was speechless.

‘Young Master, didn’t you say you needn’t to act? What were you doing now?’

…

Emily never expected that Joseph was waiting for her at the end of the corridor.

The moment she saw Joseph, she panicked and subconsciously wanted to escape!

However, Joseph seemed to have predicted that she would be like this. Without thinking, he strode forward and stopped in front of her.

"Emily, do you think I won’t be able to find you once you escaped?"

But she did hide herself well.

If it weren’t for Wendy being arrested and the police here contacted the police department of City L, he probably couldn’t find her.

She had been hiding for two years, yet she still wanted to hide even though she was discovered?

Emily looked at him, and her fingers were trembling out of excitement.

After two years, Joseph had lost a lot of weight, and he looked even gloomier.

Time left its traces on him.

She bit her lip and it took at least ten seconds to calm down.

Finally, she calmed down. Emily looked at Joseph and said with a hoarse voice.

"Joseph."

Joseph’s heart ached as he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

Emily was so scared that she struggled to push him away.

"Don’t be afraid! I’m not afraid of the pressure of public opinion. I’m not afraid of anything! We’re family. Emily, don’t have shadows in your heart. As long as we have a clear conscience, we won’t be afraid of anything!"

Emily almost cried.

She was scared, she was really scared.

There was nothing between them yet she was drugged and framed, and there were indecent videos and photos everywhere.

Now that she was being hugged by Joseph, she was very afraid that reporters would pop up from nowhere and post their photos online.

And then, the public would say that they had an improper relationship and that they ruined the reputation of the Gale family.

She was really frightened.

"Don’t be afraid." Joseph gently patted her back and waited until she calmed down. Then, he let go of her.

Seeing her face that was almost unrecognizable after she disguised herself, Joseph’s heart was bitter and he was angry about his incompetence back then.

"It’s all my fault …"

"No, it’s my fault." Emily’s heart, which had been insensitive for two years, had been completely messed up during the past two days.

"Actually, none of us is wrong." Joseph held her arm with a serious expression.

"It was the people who harmed us, it was their fault. My only fault was that I didn’t have enough power to protect you."

"But now, let’s stop blaming ourselves, alright? Come home with me, we are waiting for you."

But Emily shook her head and gently pushed him. "Joseph, I’ve lived a very good and peaceful life."

Joseph should know what it meant to go back, and he should be very clear about what they would face.

"But that’s your home. Will you never go home?"

Of course Joseph knew that returning home was difficult for her.

Once she returned, the public would definitely create a storm for her.

The things she had to face would be more than she had imagined.

"Emily, grandfather is in bad health."

Emily held back the words of objection.

Grandfather’s health …

In these two years, although she was not in City L, she had been paying attention to the news there.

There wasn’t big news about the Gale family. In other words, grandpa was fine.

At the very least, he was still alive.

If anything had happened to him, major media in City L would definitely report it because he was such a big shot.

However, she could only confirm that grandpa was still alive, but she could not make sure that he was in good health.

The matter that she had never dared to face was now brought up by Joseph, and it immediately made her powerless.

She wanted to meet her grandfather so much, but if she went back, the Gale family would be implicated.

"You know grandpa. You know what’s the most important to him."

"I don’t know …"

"You know it!" Joseph grabbed her shoulders again and said anxiously, "Emily, you know it, don’t you?"

Emily bit her lip and didn’t say anything.

She knew it, and she had always known it!

To grandpa, nothing was more important than having a whole family.

However, if she went back, it would affect the reputation of the Gale family. It would make grandfather and the Gale family live under the pressure of public opinion forever.

"There’s nothing that can’t be solved. Even Sasha made such a big mistake back then and she felt so guilty that she almost committed suicide. But she still chose to face it in the end, didn’t she?"

Joseph stared at her pale face. His voice was gentle but firm.

"You said it. As long as the family is united, nothing will be difficult for us."

"We can handle it. Emily, as long as the family is united!"
