Chapter Eighty-FourThe medicine that Harvey mentioned was only a type of tonic that helps the body recover faster, similar to many other tonics. Emma looked at the pills in her palm with unclear thoughts, feeling confused about all of this. However, in the end, Emma still believed Harvey's words and took them.Nothing unusual happened at first, but after a while, Emma began to feel more and more abnormal. Despite taking the medicine regularly and on time, her health seemed to be deteriorating instead of improving."Emma, you haven't taken your medicine tonight. Hurry up and take it," Harvey handed her the pills and water.Emma glanced at the pill in Harvey's palm, a doubt about him and the effects of these pills suddenly arose in her heart."I don't want to take them anymore, they don't have any effect. I just feel tired and my head always hurts, and I even forget a few things sometimes," Emma said angrily.Upon hearing this, Harvey got angry and tightly grabbed her shoulders, causin
Chapter Eighty-FiveAfter sneaking into Harvey's office, Emma was afraid that he would find out because she hadn't had time to put everything back in its place before returning to her bedroom.But now Emma was sitting across from Harvey at the dining table, and he didn't show any unusual signs, so she was less worried."Harvey, you didn't go out this morning, did you?" Emma said, trying to appear calm."I have some family matters to attend to today, would you like to come along? It's not mandatory." Harvey spoke gently.Emma knew that the reason Harvey had to go back to his family was that his family was a large and long-standing medical family. Unlike modern medicines today, the medicines created by the Susan family used main ingredients from rare herbs that only members of the Susan family knew how to grow and care for.Emma had heard rumors that the medicines of the Susan family had miraculous effects. When she asked Harvey if it was true, he just laughed and said, "It's all just a
Chapter Eighty-SixEmma looked at the small photo for a long time, but just this small photo made her thoughts become chaotic and her emotions mixed. The restlessness made Emma unable to sit still."How is this possible? Mr. Jethro, please don't tease me like this. Harvey also said that I resemble your wife, but he couldn't use my photo to tease me." Emma forced a laugh, but sweat started to form on her forehead.Her hands trembled as she held the photo. There couldn't be such a crazy coincidence in the world.Jethro shook his head. "I'm not joking. This is indeed a photo of my wife."The certainty in Jethro's affirmation only made Emma more panicked and gave her a headache. Suddenly, a horrifying thought appeared in her mind. She was once a victim of an accident, and her head was affected, causing memory loss.Could it be that Harvey had ordered plastic surgery for her while she was unconscious? This would be a reasonable explanation without any flaws.But that was just a temporary t
Chapter Eighty-SevenBut after that day, Harvey frequently brought up the sensitive issue that Emma vehemently avoided.Emma knew that Harvey had been patient and restrained himself for a long time for her sake, but she didn't want to do that with Harvey. Emma didn't understand why she resisted him like that, but she knew for sure that she didn't want to do it.Harvey had bought a lot of supplements for both of them to prepare for that, including some things specifically for that purpose.Every time Harvey looked at her, it was with a pleading and expectant gaze, like a pitiful little puppy. She also wanted to make him comfortable and fulfill her duties as a wife, but she couldn't.Harvey's patience, no matter how great, had its limits, and he couldn't bear it anymore."Tell me. How long do you want me to wait? Tell me, give me a specific number." Harvey said, appearing angry but pleading."I... that... can we not do it... can I really not do it with you..." Emma said, knowing that wh
Chapter Eighty-EightJethro laughed at his own thoughts. Since when did he become so humane and remorseful? Perhaps it was thanks to the teachings of his beautiful wife. Without her, he would never have been able to think like this."Are you okay?" Rin asked, a little startled by her master's sudden laughter without any reason."I'm fine, never felt better," Jethro replied."Cancel all the appointments this afternoon and tonight, and cancel Clement's classes too."Rin was surprised; Clement's education was very important, so she had never seen Jethro casually cancel it before."What do you intend to do?""My woman, I have to reclaim her," Jethro said and left the office, leaving Rin with a bewildered expression.Jethro went outside and headed home. On the way, he made a call to his subordinate."Investigate if Gemma's suicide has any connection to Harvey. I don't want to wait long."The person on the other end acknowledged the order but dared to ask a question.[Do you really think Em
Chapter Eighty-NineUpon being accepted by Emma, Harvey felt elated, unable to hide his happiness as it clearly showed on his face. But Harvey still had a question, wasn't it true that she had rejected him before he was suddenly summoned back to his family?"What made you change your mind? You had rejected me before..." Harvey looked up at Emma, his eyes still filled with tears.Emma avoided Harvey's gaze, her reason for avoiding it is that she didn't want to do that with him, but she didn't want to be such a selfish person. Harvey had suppressed his desires for her for a long time, always being there for her, even after she vehemently rejected him in the past, he didn't seek another woman."I think... it's time for both of us to have a chance. I don't want to be selfish in your eyes." Emma said.Harvey was surprised to hear that, he had never accused her of being selfish nor had he ever thought of her that way. He was only afraid and worried that he hadn't fully won her over."In my
Chapter NinetyEmma never thought that sex could be so exhausting. It was true that at that moment, the overwhelming pleasure caused her mind to lose all clarity, and she couldn't think of anything else.After waking up, her body ached, especially her back and private parts. She couldn't remember how long they had gone on or how many positions they had tried. Harvey had incredible stamina, as she was completely drained, but he still didn't want to let her go.Emma regained consciousness and stared at the ceiling. She felt a sense of relief and tranquility that was unusual. Perhaps it was because she had accepted and fulfilled her duty as a wife that she felt this way, Emma guessed.Now that the guilt towards Harvey was gone, she felt more at ease. If she had known this, she would have done this with Harvey sooner.But although they had done this together... afterward, her emotions returned to normal as if nothing had happened. Emma thought that there would be a new and different feeli
Chapter Ninety-OneEmma ran away with a heavy heart, today should have been a happy and joyful day for both of them but why did things turn out like this?Harvey was suddenly summoned back to his family, he had never introduced her to his family, let alone talk to her about his family. This made her always think that she was his wife through marriage certificates, wedding photos, and wedding rings.But now, what happened? The images on the screen just shattered all her dreams. The things Harvey did to prove that she was his wife were all deceitful, for almost two years she had always thought she was Harvey's wife, his life partner."It's so ironic, you are truly foolish, Emma. When he refused to take me back to his family, doubts should have arisen, but because I trusted him too much.""And this is the result I received." Emma cried like rain, her vision blurred by tears but she didn't care and just continued running like a madwoman.The strong wind made Emma tremble, the rain pouring
