Chapter 1094
She had to find this enigmatic lady and get some answers!
What on earth could make them feel pushed out of Silver City?
Elysia stepped through the security door, hurrying down the staircase in pursuit of the woman.
She had seen the woman enter through the security door with her own eyes; she must have taken the stairs down.
Yet, as she followed her all the way down, there was no sign of the woman anywhere.
Elysia frantically searched the hospital, checking every nook and cranny, but to no avail.
With a frown, she pulled out her phone and dialed Tarquin, “Honey, I need you to look into a woman for me p>
After hanging up, Elysia, restless in body and spirit, returned to Blossom’s hospital room.
Blossom, having heard the whole story from Hollis, was comforting Emmett.
Upon seeing Elysia return, she immediately asked, “Any luck finding her p>
Elysia shook her head, “I’ve got Tarquin on it p>
Blossom frowned, “What’s with this woman? Had you encountered her before coming to Silver City p>
“No p>
“And she’s been pestering you? That’s one thing, but now she’s trying to drive you out of Silver City as if she owns the place! Something’s not right; let Mr. Bradford dig deeper p>
“Yeah, Blossom, I’ve got to go. I’ll take Emmett home, just call me if you need anything p>
Blossom understood she wanted to investigate this mysterious woman further and quickly said, “Go on, let me know immediately if there’s an update p>
“Sure p>
Elysia left the hospital room with Emmett, glancing around one last time, yet there was no sign of the woman or her daughter.
On the way back to the hotel, Elysia was deeply troubled.
Emmett gazed at her with a worried little face.
Elysia steadied her heart and relaxed, smoothing Emmett’s furrowed brow, “Is Emmett still worried about mommy p>
The little guy looked guilty, “I…I’m just not smart enough, can’t protect mommy like my older brothers would have. If they were here, they’d have stopped that lady and cleared things up so mommy wouldn’t have to worry p>
Elysia’s heart melted, and she pulled Emmett into a hug, “That’s not true at all. Who says my Emmett isn’t smart? My Emmett is amazing! When that lady was being mean, not only did you not cry, but you also bravely stood up to protect mommy. lémy eyes, Emmett is a little hero, and mommy is so moved p>
“But…I couldn’t really help mommy p>
“Of course, you did. Emmett making Blossom’s favorite cookies to cheer her up is helping mommy. Playing with grandma and your sister at home is helping mommy. When mommy went to chase after that lady you didn’t cry or make a fuss, which is also helping mommy. There are so many ways Emmett helps mommy, too many to count p>
Elysia paused, seeing Emmett still
looked dejected, she added,
“Emmett, in this world, no two leaves are the same and the same goes for people. Everyone has their
strengths, and your older one
have theirs, but Emmett has his own too. You’re thoughtful and warm-hearted, and you’re especially good at taking care of others. You can cook, make perfumes and clothes, and even disguise yourself. See, when we get back to the hotel, mommy has to talk to daddy about this strange lady, and I’ll need you to take care of grandma and your sister. That’s a big responsibility p>
Emmett quickly said, “I promise to complete the mission and not worry mommy p>
Elysia smiled fondly, hugging her son and gently rocking him, “In mommy’s heart, Emmett is an angel baby. Mommy knows Emmett loves her, and mommy loves Emmett too, so very much p>
