Because I Was an and He Threw Away 337

Chapter 337 Can’t Make It 

With a longing to tell the truth and admit she was still married, Emily was silenced before a word could leave her lips. 

Ashley, brimming with false enthusiasm, interrupted on the spot, “Come on, it’s our first meet! Let me send you some cash as a welcome gift. Buy yourself something nice.” 

Alexander quickly joined the chorus. “Yeah, I think that’s a brilliant idea.” 

The mounting pressure made Emily so uncomfortable that she decided she had to leave. Fearful that Ashley might actually follow through with the money–giving, she threw off the hospital covers in a hurry. 

“My brother’s waiting for me at home for dinner. I gotta head back,” she blurted out. 

“No way you’re going by yourself. Take this guy with you,” Ashley said, winking at Alexander. 

Alexander got the hint right away and stood up, gently grabbing Emily’s arm. “I’ll accompany you home.” 

Emily wanted to decline, but she bit her tongue instead. 

Ashley smiled contentedly upon seeing Emily’s silenq “Hay

ball! If you guys enjoy yourselves, you don’t have to come back. Stay over at the Carter family’s place.” 

Alexander just silently tailed Emily out of the hospital. 

Once at the entrance, Emily halted. “Go have some fun before you go back.” 

Alexander understood her well–intentioned dismissal but was unmovable. “I’m worried about you. Let me see you home.” 

Emily’s face was as pale as a ghost. She tried to reassure him, “I’m seriously okay.” 

But Alexander had already been to the doctor. “I spoke to the doctor. You’re bleeding again.” 

After a brief pause, Emily insisted, “I mean it. Don’t fret about 

me.” 

Now Alexander was even more worried. He stepped closer, grasped her hand, and stared straight into her eyes. “Tell me the truth. Did someone pick on you?” 

Emily shook her head, a wry smile on her face. “No one has been bothering me.” 

Yet, the redness in her eyes gave her away. Alexander took her shoulders in his hands. “Emily, come clean.” As he said this, he 2/6

gently shook her. 

The shaking made Emily dizzy and nauseous. 

Just as she was starting to feel better, Alexander was about to do it again. 

“Fine, I’ll tell you,” Emily surrendered. 

Alexander released her shoulders, and their eyes locked. 

“Sophie kicked me,” she finally confessed. 

Alexander fell into a deep silence. 

Then he heaved a long sigh. “I could handle anyone else, but she’s your daughter. There’s not much I can do.” 

Emily understood his helplessness and kept her peace. 

In the end, under Alexander’s persistent insistence, Emily gave in and let him send her home. 

After dropping Emily off at Carter Manor, Alexander drove 

away. 

Back at the manor, Ryan and the others were nowhere to be found. Only the servants were busy doing their work.

Emily retreated to her bedroom, took a hot bath, and then hit the hay. 

When she woke up, there was a knock on the door. It was the servant. “Ms. Carter, you have a guest.” 

“Alright, gotcha,” Emily mumbled groggily. 

After a quick freshen–up, she made her way downstairs. 

She was expecting it to be a Carter family member, but it turned out to be Lydia. 

It seemed like ages since they last saw each other. 

Hearing Emily’s footsteps, Lydia popped up from the sofa. “Emily!” 

The sight of Lydia’s beaming face made Emily recall what Tyrone had said. 

However, it was obvious that Lydia’s happiness was a sign of her good health. 

After a short moment of thought, Emily gave a soft smile and asked, “Lydia, what brings you here?” 

Hardly ever did the Wilson family members visit Carter Manor. Some of them hadn’t even set foot in the place once.

For a long time, this manor had seen no sign of the Wilson kin. 

Lydia made her way towards Emily. Reaching out, she took Emily’s hand and said, “Grandpa told me to come get you. He wants you to head back to Joy Gardens for dinner.” 

The smile that had graced Emily’s face faded away. A coldness flashed in her eyes as she responded, “No, I’m tied up today. Can’t make it.” 

Lydia knitted her brows in bewilderment. “Emily, Grandpa went outta his way to send me here for you.” 

Emily knew Lydia was in the dark about what had happened and didn’t feel like going into details. “I’m under the weather today. Just can’t go,” she explained. 

That day, Emily had collapsed right in front of Matthew. 

She was pretty sure he must have found out about her having an abortion. 

Despite her long stay in the hospital, Matthew hadn’t shown up 

even once. 

He used to dote on her, always asking after her well–being. But after that incident, he’d gone radio–silent.

Emily could more or less figure out why. 

No matter how sweet Matthew had been, he was a Wilson through and through, and Emily was well aware of this fact. 

Unaware of the underlying issues, Lydia kept coaxing, “Oh, come on! It’ll be like a little celebration for me.” 

Emily got what Lydia was driving at, but stood her ground. “Lydia, I’m over the moon to see you safe and sound. But don’t bug me about the dinner. I’m not going.” 

Picking up on the finality in Emily’s tone, Lydia didn’t press the matter further. “Alright then,” she said with a sigh.
