Chapter 1494 Go To Work Together
A week later, in MK Manor, Hunk was sitting on the sofa with Amy in his arms.
He was reading her some fairy tales, deeply amused by her silly words and adorable reactions.
"Grandpa, why did Snow White eat the poisoned apple?"
Amy's little voice tugged on Hunk's heartstrings and made him feel inexplicably happy, especially now that he knew that she was his granddaughter.
Louis, who was sitting next to them, was reading today's financial newspaper. Seeing that they were reading a fairy tale book, he could not help saying, "Father, I really have to take Amy to school today."
Hunk waved his hand indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter. Amy is very smart. It won't matter much if she absents herself from school for two days. We can actually just hire a private tutor to teach her at home."
Louis sighed and scratched his head.
Ever since Hunk had found out that Amy was his granddaughter a week ago, he had asked her to move to MK Manor. He wanted Amy to stay with him so that he would be able to forge and deepen a grandfather-granddaughter relationship with her. He had been inseparable from the little girl ever since she arrived.
Louis had no choice but to do whatever this stubborn old man ordered.
"Okay, but Father, Taylor hasn't seen Amy for a while," he said.
Upon hearing Taylor's name, Amy sat up straight and chirped, "Grandpa, can my mommy come over and visit some time?"
Smiling, Hunk pinched Amy's nose and answered, "Of course, my dear. She is your mother. She will always be welcome here."
Louis whipped his head toward Hunk and frowned. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean, Father?"
Keeping his eyes on Amy, Hunk told Louis, "Invite her over tonight. Our family should have a family reunion dinner."
Louis was stunned for a moment. It took almost half a minute before he came back to his senses and responded with a smile. "All right, Father."
It seemed that little Amy had done him a big favor and persuaded Hunk to accept and welcome Taylor.
The next morning, a black Maybach slowly pulled over at the gate of the charity foundation.
As Taylor unfastened her seat belt, she smiled at Louis, who was sitting on the driver's seat. She told him, "You really didn't have to drive me here. I could've gotten here on my own."
With one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the gearshift, Louis sat leisurely and replied with a faint smile, "Can't I enjoy the pleasure of driving my girlfriend to work?"
When Taylor heard Louis call her his girlfriend, her heart skipped a beat and then went on full gallop.
Then, Louis' expression turned serious. "Please take good care of Emily."
Taylor became serious as well. She said solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone else hypnotize her again."
Last time, Jonas had gotten a chance to hypnotize Emily. Emily was in a special situation, so Taylor thought that she could not leave her alone at the charity foundation anymore.
"I will send someone to guard you while you work here as a volunteer," Louis said in a very gentle voice.
Taylor felt warm in her heart. Then, she blinked and said, "All right."
Louis smiled and gently kissed Taylor on the forehead. The kiss was light and quick, but so pure that it made Taylor's heart beat even faster.
"You're my lady, and you should be protected well."
Louis's deep voice was intoxicating to her ears.
With a red face, Taylor ran out of the car. If she had stayed after that kiss, she would not have shown up to work at all.
After entering the charity foundation, she went directly to Emily's office.
After she knocked on the door, a soft female voice was heard from inside. "Come in."
Taylor pushed the door open, walked in, and found Emily seriously reading a file on her office desk while holding up her chin with a pen. It had to be the records of a depressed patient at the charity foundation. Taylor did not know the contents of the file, but Emily was obviously having some difficulties. She was frowning while reading.
Hearing the knock on the door, Emily looked up.
When she saw Taylor at the door, her eyes suddenly lit up. "Taylor, you're here," she exclaimed.
Taylor nodded with a smile and said, "What are you reading?"
Taylor slowly walked over, stood beside Emily, and leaned in to look at the file on her desk.
Taylor looked down at her with a smile, which was normal, but Emily stiffened, suddenly remembering something.
A blurry memory flashed in her mind, telling her that she had been in this situation before but with someone else. And she was quite familiar with that person, who seemed to be Jonas.
Emily frowned and pinched the bridge of her nose. She tried to usher back the memory, but her mind seemed to have gone blank. All her memories seemed to be unclear and fragmented. She just could not think of anything.
She started getting a massive headache, as if her head was about to explode.
Emily's face turned pale, but she endured the pain. The sudden change in her disposition called Taylor's attention.
"Emily, what's wrong?" Taylor asked. Seeing that Emily suddenly held her head and struggled, Taylor was shocked. The sudden change in her behavior scared her, but she kept herself calm.
Emily shook her head and bit her lips tightly.
As a psychologist, of course, Taylor knew that Emily was experiencing something abnormal. It was very likely that she was trapped in her own emotions and could not find a way out.
She comforted her in a low voice, "Emily, don't think too much now, okay? Relax. Don't immerse yourself in your own world. Look at me." This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
It seemed that Taylor's advice had worked. Emily said with difficulty, "I seem to remember something that happened, but I don't know what on earth it is."
Taylor's expression hardened.
Had Emily remembered the hypnosis that Jonas had done to her?
"Don't worry, we're not in a hurry to figure it out. We'll get there soon enough, okay? Just take a few deep breaths and relax." Taylor soothed Emily carefully and gently, massaging her temples to help her relax and ease her out of her panic attack.
About more than ten minutes later, Emily was able to finally calm down. However, her face was still pale, and her body was still trembling slightly.
"Okay, I will calm down and not think too much." Emily tried her best to calm herself down, taking deep breaths to soothe her mood.
After a long time, she finally completely calmed down. She smiled bitterly at Taylor and told her, "Thank you, Taylor. I almost fell into one of those manic episodes just now."
"It's okay. Just take it easy," Taylor replied while pouring her a glass of water.
Emily nodded in agreement.
The whole day passed quickly. Soon, it was time to get off work.
Before Taylor could say goodbye to Emily, she was pulled into the car by Louis, who was trying really hard to hide his joy and excitement.
Emily smiled and waved at them. She was still waiting for Jacob to pick her up.
"Are you on your way home?" a man's voice asked from behind.
Emily turned around and saw Jonas looking at her with a gentle smile. As always, there was nothing unusual about him.
But for some reason, Emily felt a little nauseated, even repulsed by the man's presence. She did not know why she felt this way. She just politely nodded and said, "Dr. Lin."
Jonas's eyes darkened, but his face betrayed his emotion. He said in a gentlemanly manner, "I can give you a ride home if you want."
