Chapter 222: Broken Heart
Chapter 222: Broken Heart
She remembered that Emmett said he loved Marina since long time ago…
She remembered that Emmett said he was playing with all others other than Marina.
She remembered that Emmett didn’t save her when she was pushed by Juliana into the sea.
...
According to what Sally said, Oliver saved her.
Bad-bear Smith seriously didn’t care even if she would die.
Was all the sweet talk he said to her fake?
His smirk to her, his desire for her, his caress for her, his confession and promise to her... were they all lies?
If yes, then, Emmett was indeed a good actor.
Elaine felt that her heart was hurting, so she could hardly breathe.
It felt like her heart had been broken into pieces.
She suddenly felt so sad. Her eyes became watering.
She didn't dare to open her eyes, because when she opened her eyes, the tears would burst out!
The door of the ward was opened. The nurse walked in and was about to change Elaine's injection bottle. Somehow the nurse was surprised by the strange silence in the room.
"Is the patient awake?" The nurse looked at Elaine who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and asked Sally.
Sally stood up immediately, nodded, and said, "Yes, I think she is not feeling well, can you please check on her."
"Oh, why is the patient not feeling well?" The nurse looked at Elaine in surprise.
Elaine didn’t answer. After about twenty seconds, she pointed to her heart and said, "...It hurts..."
Sally frowned, "Oh, is the heart having some problems?"
The nurse nodded, "Well, I will report to the doctor immediately so that he can prepare the ECG monitoring for the patient.
"No need..." Elaine said weakly while clutching the sheets with her hands, "I won't die. Don’t worry. I'm fine, I don't need any checking. Please leave me alone now."
The nurse widened her eyes in surprise. Even Sally was shocked, she looked at the nurse and then look at Elaine.
...
The nurse hesitated and nodded, "Well, if you have any discomfort, please press the call button as soon as possible."
Sally said, "Okay, thank you."
After the nurse went out, Sally said angrily, "Hey! Elaine, what's the matter with you? You are being so weird. Do you feel uncomfortable? If yes, then ask the doctor to check for you. Why are you being annoying?”
Elaine took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said, "Sally, when I fell into the sea last night, Emmett...he really didn't save me?"
"Of course not! He was very calm! He was busy hugging and flirting with Marina."
"Did Marina who was in his arms also fall into the sea?"
"Yes! It seemed that Marina suddenly felt uncomfortable, maybe her legs were weak or her brain was dizzy. I was not sure. It looked like Emmett did not catch her in time, so she fell into the sea. Once Marina fell into the sea, Emmett immediately panicked. He said that if she died, he would die with her. He jumped into the sea to save her without hesitation."
Elaine kept her eyes closed, but her eyelashes trembled badly. "I...I was rescued by Oliver?"
"Of course. If Master Young didn't rush over and jump down to save you in time, you would have died!"
Elaine suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were watering. She stared at Sally tightly, which made Sally stunned for a few seconds.
Sally widened her eyes and looked at Elaine. She was so scared and worried at the same time. She kept asking herself… Did she just say something wrong? Why was Elaine's expression so sullen? Why did Elaine look so scary like a ghost who just a child…
Elaine's eyes were red... she said anxiously, "After I was rescued by Oliver, Emmett also asked to save his girlfriend first?"
Sally didn't dare to answer. She hesitated for a while before nodding, "Yeah... I was so angry at the time and scolded him... Elaine, you don't have to...
...
Before Sally had finished speaking, Elaine cut her off and said, "Sally! Bring me a towel..."
"Ah? Oh, okay."
Just when Sally turned around and was about to walk to the washroom, she heard Elaine crying out loud behind her.
Sally was stunned and didn’t move for a while hearing Elaine crying so loud and sadly.
Elaine kept crying for a long time. Sally who sat next to her even had some tears down.
Sally tried to comfort Elaine, but for a long time, she just said the same thing repeatedly. Even she felt bored with it.
“Elaine, there are so many good men in the world, why do you have to care about Emmett?"
"A man who doesn’t care about you is useless even though he is rich and handsome."
“He won’t do anything but hurt you. So let’s forget about him and move on.”
"Master Young is a good choice. He is handsome and rich, most importantly, he cares about you.”
"Elaine, please, don’t cry anymore. I want to cry seeing you crying.”
When Oliver walked into the ward after taking a nap, this was what he saw, both of them were hugging and crying and Elaine cried so much that her eyes were all red and swollen.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Oliver couldn’t help thinking, could it be that a tumor found in Elaine? Or was there any misfortune that happened in the family? Or was their mutual friend dead? It must be something horrible happened so that they cried so sadly like this.
Oliver hurriedly walked over, sat on the bed, and gently held Elaine's hand.
...
"Tell me, what happened? As long as I can fix it for you, I will do it without hesitation, even if it means I will lose all my family’s wealth. I will still help you. Come on, tell me, what happened?”
Elaine choked so badly that she couldn't say a word.
Sally sighed and said helplessly, “Master Young, please talk to her. As soon as she heard that Emmett didn’t save her but to care about Marina, she started crying. If I knew it, I wouldn’t tell her the truth.”
(⊙_⊙)
Oliver was stunned there. Holding Elaine’s soft hand, Oliver felt complicated.
Oliver couldn’t believe that Elaine cried because of Emmett.
So it meant that Elaine indeed… fell in love with…Emmett!
Oliver felt heartbroken when he realized it.
The girl he fell in love with, the girl he truly cared about, loved another man, not him.
Oliver felt that his heart was breaking into pieces.
"Elaine..."
Oliver wanted to say something. He opened his mouth, but only to realize that he had no position to give any comment.
Seeing Elaine’s sad face, Oliver was in dilemma.
Should he tell Elaine that Emmett was the one who saved her?
If he told Elaine, it meant he was helping Emmett up against him.
If he didn’t tell Elaine, Elaine would be so sad, and he would be heartbroken seeing her being sad.
After struggling for a while, Oliver finally sighed and said, "Elaine, in fact, you were rescued by Emmett, not me. My diving skills are not as good as Emmett's. When I arrived, Emmett was already supporting you out of the sea. As for the matter between Emmett and Marina...I really don't know about it..."
(⊙_⊙) Elaine suddenly raised her head and looked at Oliver in surprise.
Even Sally looked at Oliver in surprise.
Elaine choked and rubbed her nose.
What did Oliver say?
She was saved by Emmett?
Emmett didn’t save Marina?
"Are you lying to me..." Elaine whispered hoarsely.
...
Oliver sighed sorrowfully, "I will never lie to you."
After that, Oliver couldn't stand the pain in his heart anymore. He got up quickly and left the room immediately.
Stepping out of the room, Oliver stood in the corridor and took a deep breath.
Why...he tried so hard and loved her so much, yet Elaine cared only about Emmett.
Oliver slammed his chest vigorously, trying to punch out the bad luck from inside.
He tremblingly took out the cigarette, and then lit the cigarette.
He walked forward in confusion like a ghost until he reached the rooftop. Facing the sky, he couldn’t hold it anymore. Tears ran out of his eyes.
At the same time, in the room, Elaine stopped crying now. She opened her eyes wide and stunned for a long time before saying hoarsely, "Did Bad-bear Smith save me?"
Sally muttered. "Was Master Young getting confused? Maybe he was just trying to cheer you up.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Elaine suddenly felt disappointed. She sighed and said quietly, "Even if he saved me, so what. Anyway, I just a little toy for him. I will never believe what he says. I can’t be deceived by him three times in a row.”
Elaine looked out of the window blankly and did not speak for a long time.
