Chapter 601 Want to see my parents
Emilia saw Ivan at first glance, who was standing inside the living room. Mr. Brown was happy to see this. He laughed and said to the others, “Well, why don’t we give them some privacy? Let’s get out of here.”
Upon hearing this, Robert and Casey stood up and left the room after Mr. Brown.
Soon there were only Emilia and Ivan left in the room. Ivan looked at the girl’s face. He missed her, night and day, but at this very moment, he found nothing to say. In fact, he had quite a bit to ask, but the words would not come.
It was Emilia who spoke first, with a little laugh, “Ivan, don’t stand there like that! Sit down and talk with me. Oh, by the way, can I get you something to drink?”
“Well, some juice please,” Ivan said and could not take his eyes off Emilia. She went to the fridge and took a glass of juice. Then she walked toward him and handed it to him. Ivan’s eyes were following her all the time. His heart was full of warmth. That was the kind of happiness he hadn’t felt in a long time.
Ivan accepted the glass and took a drink. It was orange juice.
Emilia smiled, “It’s your favorite flavor. You showed preference to orange juice when we first met. All these years later, you really haven’t changed. See, you are pretty stubborn.”
At this, Ivan laughed, “You are right but I don’t know why. I know exactly what I want in my heart, but probably I used to be immature and I was so bad at relationships that I gave you many troubles. I think I owe you an apology. Sorry, Emilia, I am very sorry for what I have done.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Emilia was stunned, because she thought she was the one who should apologize! She had left Ivan and stomped on his heart relentlessly. Maybe she was the wickedest woman in the world. Ivan’s
apology made Emilia feel guilty and at that moment, there was just a lot going on in her heart. Ivan was always by her and supported her through life’s ups and downs.
“No need to apologize, Ivan. You are a good man and you are way too good for me. Now you helped me again! Oh, how can I ever repay you? I owe you everything, Ivan! I don’t deserve you. I think you’re going to meet someone who’s better than me,” Emilia said after long and careful thought. This was a good time to say goodbye to Ivan as well as her past.
Ivan’s face changed and a bitter smile lifted the corner of his lips. “Why do you say that? Love is unconditional and eternal. You see Robert and Georgia, your brother and Kayden. Don’t you think they really love each other?”
Emilia didn’t know what to say. Ivan continued, “It’s true love, though hurts and misunderstandings between them often occurs. Eventually, they are honest about their innermost thoughts. Emilia, please don’t feel guilty about anything that I have done. I just did what I wanted to do. I was not trying to ask you to accept my love. If my behavior has bothered you, I will never show up in front of you, but please don’t refuse my help if you need.”
Emilia was silent for a moment. Then tears welled up in her eyes. “But I can’t be. I just couldn’t live with myself if you spend your whole life on me!” said Emilia in a choked voice. Of course, she had loved this man in front of her, but she rarely took their relationship seriously. Although she had loved several men, Emilia knew Ivan was special for her. At first, she was attracted by his handsome face, but she actually got along with him. In fact, she spent more time with Ivan than her boyfriends combined. That’s why she repulsed his advances. True love seemed impossible for her.
Ivan tried to smile. He said, “Feel free, Emilia. Yes, I love you, but it’s my business. I cannot, and I will not hide the truth of my feeling, but I am not sure how long this feeling will last. Maybe someday, I will fall in love with someone else. But before that day, I will love you with my whole heart so as not to regret. Get it?”
Emilia had been quiet for a long time before she looked up at Ivan and said, “You’ve heard something about my parents. Affected by them, maybe I am a patient with mood disorder. That is the only way to explain why I ignored your love time and again. Well, could you do me one favor?”
“What is it?” Ivan wondered.
“I want to see my parents again. Though Margie is not my real mother, I need to have a serious talk with them. Maybe the talk will be ended with unpleasant ways, but I have to, or I will keep dwelling on it.” Emilia said and managed a smile. “Mr. Brown said that I can make a full recovery as long as I live in a quiet and peaceful place. I have promised him that I would live on an island with him for treatment. Before I set off, I really want to see my parents, because many questions need to be answered. Even the answers are not what I want to hear. Actually, I have planned to visit them with Zac, but I changed my mind. Will you please come with me, Ivan?”
“Yes, of course. I will do anything you want. Beyond that, I can protect you,” Ivan said gravely.
Emilia laughed and said brightly, “Great. Georgia is coming over tonight and I will tell her about this. If you and Zac go with me, I am sure she will agree to this.”
Georgia got a call from Robert this afternoon after she finished work. He told Georgia about Ivan’s return and Mr. Brown’s visit. Then he said on the phone, “My car is right outside your lab. Let’s go to the hospital, Gigi. I think Travis’ test results will be back soon.”
“OK!” When Georgia was just about to head out the door, she remembered something. Without pausing to think, she stepped into Aston’s office and said, “Come with me to the hospital, Aston. The test results of Travis have already come back. I doubt Eric has something to do with Kayden’s disease. If Eric is using some kind of particular drugs, maybe we can find out something important from Travis’ test results.”
The words intrigued Aston slightly. He took off his white coat and said, “Good idea! So, can we go right now? In fact, I have found something about it. I am meaning to talk to you about that and later I’ll get to see Kayden.”
“OK. We’ll discuss it later, but now we should go to the hospital first,” Georgia said.
