Beloved Old Lover

Emily was sitting in the living room reading a book, so Daisy didn’t have time to tell her to go hide.

The moment she heard footsteps, she looked up and saw Jessica’s angry face.

Hastily putting the book down, Emily stood up and bowed to her mother-in-law, and as soon as she raised her head, Jessica slapped her in the face.

The slap was so strong that Emily’s face tilted to one side, her hair falling and covering half of her face.

Both Daisy and Mary were startled and scared because they didn’t think Jessica would act like that. However, no one dared to come forward to defend Emily.

“Comet, promise breaker. How dare you run behind my back to marry my son? What did you promise me? Don’t you have any self-respect?” Jessica trembled, pointed at the person opposite, and shouted.

“I’m sorry Mom.” Emily still bowed her head, held her cheek with one hand, and spoke in a low voice.

“Who is your mother? You… you… no…”

Jessica hadn’t finished her sentence when she suddenly staggered and lost her balance. Mary reacted extremely quickly, running to help her.

Emily rushed forward in panic, frantically calling out to the unconscious woman in Mary’s arms.

Jessica once told her that she had heart disease. If something happened to Jessica today because of her, she would be extremely regretful.

“Mom… mom… mom…” Emily called while crying, forgetting the pain on her face.

“Help me take her to the car.” Mary’s voice was very urgent.

All three people struggled to bring Jessica to the car. Although Emily wanted to follow, Mary did not agree because she was afraid that when Jessica woke up and saw Emily, she would be angry and faint again. Only Daisy went along to support.

Not long after the villa had become noisy, it returned to a deserted state, with only the sound of Emily’s crying. She didn’t cry because of pain, she cried because she was worried about her mother-in-law.

Kevin said this marriage was a secret, why would his mother know?

After more than two hours, Daisy returned. As soon as the gate opened, Emily hurriedly asked about Jessica’s condition and when she heard Daisy say that Jessica had no serious problem and that her husband had also come to advise, the rock in Emily’s heart was removed.

“Go to your room and let me get you some ice to apply. There are only two more days until the young master returns, he will be very heartbroken.” Daisy sadly touched Emily’s swollen face.

“Don’t let him know about today. Say I fell down the stairs.” Emily reflexively avoided Daisy’s hand for fear of pain and said.

Daisy nodded and went inside with Emily. After taking the ice bag, putting ice in it, and giving it to Emily, Daisy went back to the kitchen to make lunch.

As for Emily, after returning to her room and looking at herself in the mirror, she realized that half of her face was swollen, making her entire face deformed, looking extremely scary, and the corners of her lips were still bleeding.

Although she tried to suppress her sadness, at this moment, tears fell from her eyes due to self-pity. If Kevin were here, would he protect her? What she wondered was why his mother knew.

At this time, it was noon where Kevin was and he was having a meal with his partners. If there are no changes to the schedule, he will return tomorrow.

He had just gotten married but had to be away from his wife for a week, making him feel empty. Furthermore, yesterday she suddenly showed an indifferent attitude, causing him to lose sleep all night.

After finishing the meal, everyone said goodbye to each other and left. Kevin politely saw each person off, then called a taxi.

It’s noon but the sun is not too harsh. Occasionally the wind blew through, making his hair flutter, making the girl next to him more fluttering.

While Kevin was attentively checking the messages on his phone, a car from across the street suddenly rushed straight towards him at terrifying speed.

Lisa didn’t have time to scream, she could only use all her strength to push him away.

The phone in his hand fell, breaking the screen, and he and she fell onto the sidewalk.

Everything happened so fast, so suddenly that he felt like the sky was falling. The pain all over his body made him unable to quickly stand up even though he saw the girl lying on top of him motionless.

“Lisa… Lisa…” He tried to shake and call her.

Fortunately, at this time people in the shops on both sides of the road ran out and rushed to help the victim. They picked Lisa up and helped Kevin stand up.

The driver who caused the accident also got out of the car, trembling, and came over to apologize.

“Take her to my car, the hospital is nearby.” A non-indigenous man spoke up.

The moment the car turned around, Kevin glanced at the car that caused the accident, the front of the car was dented from the strong collision with the old tree.

If Lisa hadn’t reacted quickly at that time, he would have been as dented as that car.

“I hurt… I hurt so much…” Lisa moaned, tears welling up as soon as she woke up.

“It’s okay, we’re almost to the hospital.” Kevin gently rubbed her shoulder, reassuring her.

When she realized she was lying in her young boss’s arms, being comforted by him and her face pressed against his chest, her pain was immediately suppressed by strong emotions.

This was a rare opportunity, so she didn’t sit up straight but pretended she was still dizzy, constantly moaning in pain and tightening her grip on his shirt.

As soon as the car stopped in front of the emergency room, the man jumped down and enthusiastically helped Kevin bring Lisa in because he was still limping and couldn’t carry her.

Fortunately, after the doctor examined their entire bodies, neither he nor she suffered serious injuries, but both of them could not fly back tomorrow because their soft tissue injuries caused them extreme pain.

Kevin’s head collided with the sidewalk and although the impact was not very strong, it was enough to make him dizzy.

The doctor told him to rest for a few days and avoid walking around to avoid falling and fainting on the road.

“Thank you, what is your name?” Kevin sat on the hospital bed, looked at the kind man, and asked.

“My name is Jack, I am one of the expatriates who came here to start a business. I help you because you are a compatriot. No need to take it to heart.” Jack answered happily.

“What field do you do business in?”

“Ah, I take on construction contracts, build small houses, do small repairs.”

“If possible, you can send me your company’s capacity profile, and I will arrange and assign you tasks within the company’s reach. Introducing to you, I am Kevin, president of Unicons group.”

Jack’s eyes widened because he couldn’t believe that the person he had just helped was the famous president.

Because he didn’t think it would be easy to meet Kevin in real life, he didn’t pay much attention. Only now did he realize that this person and the person in the newspaper and on television were very similar.

While Jack was bewildered, Kevin pulled out his business card and gave it to him.

Kevin believes that a good person who helps others will also be responsible for the work they do. Unicons Corporation always wants to cooperate with such people.

“Yes, I will send it to you, thank you.”

Next, Jack received a prescription from the doctor, went to buy medicine for both of them, then took Lisa and Kevin back to the hotel, then said goodbye and left.

Lisa’s leg had a large scratch and was wrapped in white bandages. She looked like a mummy and had difficulty moving. She had to cling to Kevin’s hand.

“Maybe we have to stay a few days. Just think of it as a vacation.” Kevin said as soon as he stopped in front of her room door.

“Yes.”

“Thank you, Lisa, if you hadn’t saved me, I would have been very seriously injured.”

Lisa shyly shook her head, saying that was what she should do.

Looking at the small girl in front of him, Kevin remembered Emily in her youth. If only too many incidents did not happen, the relationship between him and her would not be scarred, it would still be as beautiful as a dream.

“Okay, go to your room and rest. If you need anything, just call me and I’ll buy it for you.”

After speaking, he immediately went to the next room and swiped the card to unlock it. The suit he was wearing was stained with blood in a few places, so he didn’t want to keep it, so he took it off, threw it in the trash, then went into the bathroom and soaked himself in the tub.

His shoulder blades ached and through the mirror, he saw that his skin had turned purple.

He was praising this trip to go smoothly, but he was unlucky at the last minute. Fate knows how to separate him and his wife.

Kevin was both hurt and upset, so as soon as he finished showering, he immediately made a video call to see Emily.

However, what he received was prolonged ringing. He didn’t know right now, Emily was holding the phone in her hand but kept staring at it and didn’t dare do anything.

Her face was swollen after a few hours even though she applied ice. How dare she let him see it? She was afraid that he would worry, affecting his mood and work.

Only after the missed call ended did she call him back, but it was a voice call, not letting him see her.

“I was in the bathroom just now, I couldn’t get out in time.” She spoke up when Kevin picked up the phone.

“Turn it off and make a video call, I miss you so much, and I want to see you.” Kevin’s voice was soft as if he was pleading.

“I’m sleepy, okay, I’m going to bed, I’ll call you tonight.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, making the person on the other end of the phone confused.

Yes… he knew this marriage happened because he forced her and she married him because of the rattan and bamboo bushes on the mountain but how could she be so indifferent to him?

Her husband is in pain all over his body and she won’t even let him see her to relieve his self-pity?Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Finally, he sent her a text message, informing her that work had changed so he would have to stay three more days. Then he called Sara, asking her to book another plane ticket for him and Lisa.

Poor him, as soon as he ended the call, the phone screen went black. No matter how he pressed it, it wouldn’t turn on, even though before that, he saw that the battery was full.

“Oh my god, my body is broken and my phone is broken too, what should I do?” Kevin exclaimed because he was so dissatisfied.

As for Emily, after reading his message, she immediately called back but there was no signal. Feelings of insecurity and negative thoughts quickly surrounded her.

Could it be that he was angry so he decided to stay there? Yesterday, he said he would return on schedule.

She was imagining that he would drink alcohol and then mistake Lisa for her, and then…

“Okay, Kevin, just stay there, don’t come back anymore.” She hung up the phone and threw it on the bed.
