Chapter 2
“Emily, what’s with the attitude?”

The person who had returned was none other than Finn, who had left earlier but had come back.
At this moment, he was holding his phone and, upon hearing Emily’s words, instinctively scolded her.
Perhaps remembering his purpose, he quickly softened his expression.
“Emily, Bianca’s got a good heart. If she knew everyone was pressuring you to give up your spot as John’s student, she’d be devastated. She might even get sick over it. You should record an apology video and say it’s a gift to Bianca.”
Finn finished speaking, looking at Emily with hopeful eyes.
In her past life, Finn had been led astray by bad friends and gotten into drugs. Emily had stayed by his side, enduring his abuse and never giving up on him despite being covered in bruises. And now, he had the nerve to say something so shameless.
She must have been blind.
“Get out!”
She thought her heart had turned to stone, but it still ached with pain at this moment.
Furious, she wobbled as she climbed out of bed and pointed at Finn, cursing him loudly.
It was only then that Finn noticed her face was unusually red.
For once, his conscience seemed to kick in, and he took a step forward, reaching out with concern, “What’s wrong with you? Why is your face so red?”
Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing the number, he immediately withdrew his hand, which had been reaching to check her temperature, and spoke with a gentleness Emily had never experienced, “Bianca, you’re awake? How are you feeling?”
“Finn, I’m fine. I just missed you…”
“Wait for me, I’ll be right there.”
Finn responded immediately.
After hanging up, he hurried to leave, completely forgetting about Emily’s condition.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind her, “I’ll give you some time to think about it. This video will show that you’re truly remorseful.”
Emily couldn’t care less about Finn’s words.
She didn’t even know how she ended up at the hospital.

Chapter 2
Before losing consciousness, she vaguely heard a nurse’s voice, ‘Why was she sent in the hospital so late / She already has such a high fever. Where are the patient’s family members? This is en Inresponsible. If she had come any later, she could have suffered brain damage?
Finally, she completely fell into darkness.
Emily was awakened by a loud noise.
She opened her eyes to see a tall figure standing by her bed.
The window was half open.
Emily shook her head, the pain mostly gone,
She blinked again.
The person was still there,
Confirming she wasn’t hallucinating from the fever, she realized she was in a hospital room.
Don’t make a sound. I’ll leave in a few minutes. The person seemed to notice she was awake, leaned closer, and warned her in a low
voice.
His presence was so imposing,
Even though his tone was almost conversational, it sounded like a warning to Emily.
As he leaned closer, she smelled blood on him and saw his face clearly,
“Mr. Smith!
In her past life, she had once seen Daniel Smith from a distance while with James.
He had a cold, commanding presence, almost unforgettable at first glance,
Although he was only a few years older than James, his status was much higher.
If James, who had been brought back to the Smith family, was the most powerful person Emily could interact with, then Daniel was like a god, untouchable,
He was the head of the Smith family, a family not only wealthy and influential but also powerful.
James was just a distant relative of the Smith family, yet he could dominate Emerald City. How much more powerful was the head of the family?
In her past life, she had only seen him once before heming of his death shortly after.
She had lamented his untimely death, thinking it was a pity for such a talented person.
Could it be because of this incident?

Suppressing her curiosity, she thought it was pointless to dwell on it since they wouldn’t cross paths again.
“You know me.” Daniel’s cold eyes and confident tone were unmistakable.
Emily sensed danger.

She swallowed, suppressing her fear, “My name is Emily Johnson. I had the honor of seeing you from afar with James. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone you were here today.”
The head of the Smith family, injured and hiding in a hospital room, must be involved in something complicated.
She had been reborn and wanted to live well this time, so she needed to stay safe.
She mentioned seeing him once.
Daniel’s brows furrowed slightly, as if trying to recall.
The Johnson family?
With James?
He remembered seeing Bianca with James.
He had heard she was a frail, often sick girl. It seemed true.
She was hospitalized again.
“Alright.”
Daniel responded calmly.
Outside, there were sounds of hurried footsteps.
Daniel’s eyes sharpened,
The air around him instantly turned icy.
If his enemies found him here, they might assume she was an ally.
Emily’s mind raced, and she quickly pulled back the covers. “Why don’t you hide here? They wouldn’t suspect you’d hide in my bed.”
