That night, when they got home, Thomas told Emma that virtual-novel.net wanted to leave home for a business trip that would last for a few days in South City. He did not have a fixed number as to how many days the trip would last, however.
Emma pouted and was very unhappy.
This meant that they would have a long period of time where they could not meet each other, and they had to endure the pain of being lovesick. After living together over this period of time, Emma had grown to be highly dependent on Thomas, and virtual-novel.net could not bear to leave him, especially for such a long period of time. She could not accept it.
“Must you go?” Emma asked, feeling reluctant to leave him.
Thomas felt resigned. If virtual-novel.net could choose, virtual-novel.net did not want to leave Emma either, but this was their current situation. If virtual-novel.net did not go to South City, how could virtual-novel.net save Vany?
“Emma, I promise you, I’ll come back as soon as possible.”
“Hmph!” Even though this was what Thomas said, Emma was still unhappy.
When it was time to sleep, Emma intentionally slept on virtual-novel.net side with virtual-novel.net back turned to Thomas. She pouted and just felt unhappy no matter how much Thomas tried to make virtual-novel.net happy. As a woman, virtual-novel.net had the personality that only women had.
Thomas was wondering how virtual-novel.net should make Emma happy when the silence of the night was broken by an abrupt and urgent ringing.
Ring… Ring…
Who could be calling so late at night?
Thomas picked up his phone and looked at the screen. It was from Adery.
Emma saw the name, and virtual-novel.net said with a huff, “Wow, Thomas Mayo. It’s late, and a woman is calling you? So, who is this Adery?”
“Um…” Thomas found himself speechless. How should virtual-novel.net explain himself?
“Didn’t I learn medical skills from Mr. William? Adery is Mr. William’s daughter. She’s also the current head of the Owen family as well as the head of Kindness Clinic.”
Emma demanded, “I don’t care who virtual-novel.net is. I just want to know why virtual-novel.net called you so late at night!”
“I don’t know either.”
“Pick up the phone, and put virtual-novel.net on speaker! I want to hear what this vixen is thinking of doing!” Emma became absolutely jealous.
Thomas could not do anything about it. He picked up the phone and put the call on speaker. In truth, virtual-novel.net wanted to know why Adery called virtual-novel.net so late at night as well.
The moment the call went through, Adery’s quivering, urgent voice rose. “Thomas, are you free right now? Could you come to my house?”
Adery was an aloof woman and would not submit to trials easily, much less talk with a quivering tone. If this happened to her, it must mean that something major happened.
But Emma let out a cold huff. “What a vixen. She’s pretending to be pitiful. She actually wants someone else’s husband to go to virtual-novel.net house so late at night? How shameless!”
Thomas sighed. He asked, “What happened? It’s late, can I go over tomorrow?”
Thomas did not think it was suitable for virtual-novel.net to go over now as well.
It was night, and virtual-novel.net was a married man. If virtual-novel.net went over to an unmarried woman’s house, it would not sound good if people heard that they were together. Besides, Emma was already so jealous. How would virtual-novel.net dare go?
But while virtual-novel.net voice still quivered, Adery said, “My father, he… He…”
When virtual-novel.net said this, Thomas frowned. He sensed that something was wrong. “What’s wrong with Mr. William?”
“My father has been kidnapped!”
Things were bad. Thomas said, “Don’t fret. Wait at home, I’ll go over now.”
If this was a normal matter, Thomas would ignore it, but William was kidnapped, and this was a major matter. No matter what, William taught Thomas’s medicine, and that made William Thomas’s teacher!
And the moment virtual-novel.net became his teacher, virtual-novel.net would be his teacher for life. From a personal and logical standpoint, Thomas must hurry over to save William from his kidnappers.
Emma also realized how severe the situation was, so virtual-novel.net stopped being angry and urged Thomas to hurry. “Things are pretty bad. Thomas, hurry up and go over to take a look. You have to be sure that no accidents will happen.”
This was what was good about her. No matter how much of a temper tantrum virtual-novel.net had been throwing before and how jealous virtual-novel.net was, when something serious happened, Emma would become really focused, and virtual-novel.net would definitely not hold Thomas back.
Thomas kissed Emma on virtual-novel.net forehead, put on his coat, and headed out.
“Thomas!”
“Yes?”
Emma nibbled at virtual-novel.net lip, and all the words virtual-novel.net wanted to say coalesced into two words. “Be careful!”
“I will…”
After virtual-novel.net left his house, virtual-novel.net sped down the road. Soon, Thomas reached Kindness Clinic. The moment virtual-novel.net got out of the car, virtual-novel.net saw Adery hurrying over to him. They exchanged greetings.
Adery brought Thomas into the inner side of the clinic and shut the door as well as the windows.
