Rebirth: Top Star Actress
Chapter 114
Hey, isn’t this speed a bit too slow?
Emily hadn’t given the driver her address, but surprisingly, the tace coordinator didn’t ask either.
However, the direction was correct.
Emily furrowed her brows.
She felt that the person behind all this was becoming increasingly formidable, having investigated her background thoroughly without her even knowing.
On the surface, Emily seemed calm, but internally, her guard was up to the highest level.
The driver was silent throughout the journey, focusing on driving without deviating from the route.
But…
The speed was just too slow, with cars passing by one after another.
Even electric bikes were overtaking them.
Emily finally felt something was off.
The driver was muttering to himself, ‘How could I not be slow? At least I need to wait for Daniel to get home first!‘
Outwardly, the driver maintained a friendly demeanor, “Sorry, Ms. Johnson, I’ve made too many mistakes today. To avoid any incidents on our way, I must go slower to ensure your safety. I hope you understand. Or, do you have any urgent matters, Ms. Johnson?”
Emily thought about Daniel. If it were urgent, he would have called to hurry her.
Besides, she trusted the backup medication she had given Daniel.
“Not really, but even if we go a bit faster, it should be fine. Or, you could let me drive. You know my driving skills!”
Emily suggested.
The driver immediately refused, “No way! How could I let you do that? If my boss finds out, I’ll be in trouble…”
His quick and anxious response made Emily take a closer look at him.
The driver felt like he was sitting on pins and needles but had to pretend he knew nothing, continuing at a steady pace.
Emily, usually patient, was starting to feel a bit helpless.
Fortunately, the driver soon received a message from York.

Daniel had arrived home.
The driver finally relaxed.
He didn’t speed up immediately but subtly increased the speed bit by bit.
By the time Emily noticed, they were almost home.
The driver stopped directly at the entrance of Emily’s current villa.
“Emily, you’re back!”
Violette heard the sound and immediately came out to greet her.
Emily got out of the car and said, “Violette, help me get the medical kit.”
“Sure!”
Violette was momentarily stunned but quickly fetched the medical kit.
公司
Emily thanked the driver and then carried the kit to Daniel’s house next door.
York, who had been keeping an eye on Emily’s arrival, was aware of her return. He had grown increasingly respectful towards her.
Her rushing over to check on Daniel without even resting showed how much she valued him, reciprocating Daniel’s admiration and affection.
“Ms. Johnson, please come in!”
York put on a worried expression, extending his hand to invite Emily inside.
When Emily entered, she saw Daniel lying weakly on the bed.
His shirt was unbuttoned at the chest, revealing his sexy collarbone and muscular chest.
Combined with his fragile expression, it gave off a vibe that made one want to take him down, yet he seemed easy to conquer.
Stop!
Emily quickly controlled her thoughts. He was her patient right now.
She hurried to the bedside to examine and treat Daniel.
The process took quite a while.
York, standing nearby, grew increasingly anxious.
Daniel was indeed uncomfortable, but having endured worse situations before, this discomfort was nothing to him, and he could easily bear it.

However, he had devised this act to ensure Emily returned and didn’t stay with Knox.
Of course, Charles had contributed to the idea.
Daniel had asked Charles, “How do you make a girl like you?”
Charles had reacted as if he’d seen a ghost, “Wait, Daniel, which girl doesn’t like you?”
Daniel’s cold gaze shot towards him, “I’m asking for a friend. Aren’t you supposed to be experienced?”
Charles automatically translated: “I have a friend” equals himself!
Charles secretly chuckled but maintained a serious facade, “Your friend, huh? If he’s rich, he should spend money.”
“Rich, but she doesn’t care about money?”
Charles‘ eyes widened, “Someone doesn’t like your… I mean, your friend’s money? Who is she? I need to worship her! If money doesn’t work, being handsome might. If your friend looks like you, he could try seduction. It would definitely work.”
Daniel thought about it. Emily had shown brief moments of fascination with his face. Did that mean she liked his looks and physique?
Thus, Emily was now witnessing this scene.
Emily took so long to treat him because Daniel complained of chest discomfort, but she didn’t find any major issues.
To be cautious, she took her time.
Daniel’s gaze fell on her delicate fingers resting on his wrist.
The slightly cool touch stirred his emotions, creating an uncontrollable impulse.
His Adam’s apple moved slightly.
“Are you feeling thirsty?”
Emily was focused on the patient’s condition, noticing his frequent swallowing and assuming he was thirsty.
Daniel’s ears turned slightly red, but he maintained a calm facade, “Just a bit, it’s not a big deal.”
His voice was already a bit hoarse.
Emily nodded and considered switching hands for further treatment.
She leaned closer to check his eyes.
Her faint medicinal scent surrounded Daniel, making him feel like he was breathing in her unique fragrance.
Fortunately, Emily soon released his eyelids and stepped back.

Otherwise, Daniel might have suffocated.
Ms. Johnson, how is he? Is there something toxic in the house? Should you check?”
York, worried by Emily’s prolonged examination, voiced his concern.
Emily released Daniel’s hand and quickly wrote a new prescription, ‘No major issues, still within controllable range. What did you do today?
Daniel’s condition showed signs of toxin activation.
His body was slightly out of balance.
Thankfully, they had called her in time. After writing the prescription, Emily prepared to administer acupuncture.
York glanced at Daniel, meeting his warning gaze, and dared not speak further.
Daniel hid his guilt and said, “Just went out to handle some matters.”
He had spent the day racing, exhausting himself.
Emily, fortunately, didn’t know. If she did, she might refuse to treat him.
Doctors dislike patients who don’t follow medical advice.
Daniel had learned her temperament and didn’t dare to tell the truth.
York was surprised.
Daniel lied.
He must be afraid of Emily finding out.
It showed that Daniel valued Emily even more than he realized.
“Don’t overexert yourself. Your body can’t handle such strain. Also, those two herbs need to be obtained quickly. Don’t give up searching on your end. I have some leads and will secure the herbs soon.”
Fortunately, the auction for those herbs was approaching, and she planned to attend personally.
