Chapter 544: Bustling Room
-Hello.
Emily approached the consultation desk and, without removing her sunglasses, greeted the other party
directly. The nurse thought it was strange and her eyes darted to Emily's body.
The nurse looked at her and smiled.
-Hello.
Looking at Emily's dress, it was clear that she was no ordinary person.
-Can you tell me which ward Juan is in? -Emily looked across the room and softly pronounced Juan's
name. She already knew that Leopoldo's father was in that hospital.
The nurse was stunned before speaking.
-Mr. Durán should have been released from intensive care by now.
Juan had just had surgery, so to speak, and was barely out of danger.
Emily nodded and added:
-And where is he now?
I didn't want to know where Juan was, but where Leopoldo was. The two had not seen each other
since the man had announced his marriage.
It wasn't that Emily didn't know that Leopoldo wasn't interested in her, but she still had hopes that he
had some feelings for her.
-Come with me," the nurse said as she looked at Emily.
She wasn't busy now, but she could personally take Emily to Juan's room. However, Juan had just
come out of a life-threatening condition, and it was strictly better to have fewer visitors.
Emily quietly followed the woman.
At that moment, Mariana was sitting in the doorway, very sleepy. She looked at the clock and thought
that her son should be at school by now. When he finished his classes, he could come to see Juan.
Mariana was also to blame for what happened yesterday.
She was prepared to apologize properly after Juan had woken up. In the future they would be a family,
so it was best not to worry too much about too many things. Otherwise, it would be Leopoldo who
would be in trouble.
She was forced to marry him, but there were issues that could not be ignored.
-Miss Velazquez, this is it," the nurse said politely.
Emily looked over, and just as she glanced over, she saw Mariana sitting in the doorway. She gave a
cold snort, at which point Mariana's face was as pale as a ghost.
At first, I thought how much Leopoldo loved this woman, but in the end, it seemed he was wrong. It was
also true that Leopoldo married Mariana only because of the unexpected child.
It was not incomprehensible to give his son a complete home.
-Why are you here? -Mariana looked at the other party and spoke coldly.
As she had had a problem with this woman before, when she saw Emily now, she didn't particularly
welcome her.
Especially since Emily's family had caused her trouble.
Both Emily and her father, Gabriel, saw Mariana as a thorn in their side, so Mariana didn't have good
feelings towards them either.
-What does it have to do with you if I'm here? -Emily gave her a dirty look. She didn't even feel guilt for
the bad things she had done to him.
Mariana owed it all to her.
-Excuse me, you're....
Perla looked at Emily and was curious. Juan had just been released from the intensive care ward, so
how could anyone visit him? This timing was too unusual.
Emily looked at Perla and introduced herself:
-Aunt Perla, it's me, Emily.
Perla and Emily's mother were very fond of mahjong. Therefore, Perla still had an impression of Emily.
Perla looked at the other person and slowly remembered her.
-Emily, what brings you here?
-It was my father who sent me here. He said my uncle had a heart attack, how is he doing now?
Emily was still unclear about the situation and pretended to be a good girl in front of Perla.
Upon discovering that the two knew each other, Mariana felt unnecessary.
-Your father is so considerate -Perla looked at Emily and immediately caught the other party's meaning
and allowed her to enter the room -Come in.
Seeing them enter the room, Mariana thought nothing of it. Whether Emily was there or not, Perla
always treated her badly, and she was used to it by now.
Before entering the room, Emily looked at Mariana and was curious. How was it that she had only
married Leopoldo and was already having problems with the stepmother? No, it seemed that
Leopoldo's stepmother didn't like Mariana in the first place.
But it was only thanks to Juan that she didn't get too far. There were times when a woman's attitude
was still very good.
-Aunt, why are you...? -Emily deliberately asked Perla in a low voice when she saw that Mariana wasn't
coming in. She thought it would be bad for people to see them like that when they were family.
Without any conscience, Perla said coldly:
-The entrance needs to be guarded, so she will stay there.
This reason was, relatively speaking, rather forced.
With Leopoldo's skill and money, it was not difficult for them to hire a bodyguard.
-Your uncle Juan is still in a coma and I don't know when he will wake up.
Perla looked at Juan in bed, concern also written in her eyes. If she had known that meeting
Leopoldo's family would end like this, she wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Emily looked at the man and pursed her lips.
She didn't really want to see Juan, she wanted to see Leopoldo.
"How come Leopoldo isn't in the room to watch over his own father when he was in so much danger?
Strange, Leopoldo is not that kind of person, is he?"
-What's wrong?
Perla realized that something was wrong with Emily and couldn't help but ask the other party. It was as
if Emily wasn't thinking about the patient, but had an ulterior motive.
-Aunt, breakfast is here. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
At the same time that Perla was curious about Emily, Diana was also delivering breakfast.
When Diana walked in and saw Emily, she immediately smelled an unusual odor.
-She is... -she looked at the other party with a lot of contempt written in her eyes.
From the way Emily was dressed, you could tell she was no good.
-She's the daughter of your good friend Uncle John's good friend, Emily," Pearl looked at Diana and
immediately smiled. She still felt in tune with Diana.
The important thing was that Diana was also very considerate.
-Miss Emily, how are you? -Diana looked across and greeted her politely.
The more Emily looked at Diana, the more it seemed to her that the other party looked familiar.
"This is star Diana, Leopoldo's ex..."
-Are you brother Leopoldo's ex-girlfriend? -Emily asked quickly.
However, it was inappropriate for her to ask such a thing on such an occasion.
