Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 115 Wesley settled Emma in the best local holdl. After changing out of her clothes, she went to the hospital

with him to visit the clderly.

Once they parked their car in the hospital‘s underground parking lot, the two walked toward the clevator

logether when Wesley suddenly held Emma‘s hand.

Emma instinctively retracted, but Wesley didn‘t force it on her and merely explained tenderly, “When we

enter the ward later, I might hold your hand, so I‘m trying to get you used to it beforehand.”

Emma instantly understood what Wesley meant, so she hurricdly apologized in embarrassment, “I‘m

sorry. I‘m just not used to it.”

She and Trevor basically never held hands and rarely walked together, so she was not used to holding

hands with any man at all.

Before he misunderstood, she hurriedly declared, “I won‘t avoid you later. I‘ll take your hand.”

Wesley laughed softly. “I only need your cooperation when we are in front of them. We‘ll just stay as

ordinary friends for the rest of the time.”

The implication was that he would not disrespect her at all times, nor would he behave inappropriately

to her.

“Got it.” Emma chose to trust Wesley.

From the day she started working as a part–time screenwriter in Alpha Productions through Susanna‘s

introduction, she and Wesley had known each other for more than four years now.

When she worked part–time for the first three years, she didn‘t interact much with Wesley, and she

worked under Eleanor and mostly communicated with her in various ways.

However, that did not affect her understanding of Wesley. He had been in this circle for so many years

yet he managed to steer close to zero scandals, so he must be trustworthy.

Emma had learned from Wesley that his parents were friendly people.

After meeting them, she could attest to that fact.

Although Zahra looked haggard because of her illness, her gaze was warm.

After seeing Emma, she struggled to hold her hand and praised, “I can tell you‘re a gentle and kind

lady. This is just wonderful!”

These words were equivalent to directly acknowledging her adoration for Emma. Back then, Emma

suffered from Alice‘s cold gaze and ridicule countless times, so Zahra‘s praise warmed her heart.

Even though she was just pretending to be Wesley‘s girlfriend, Emma was still moved by his mother‘s

simple words.

Being mocked and being praised sincerely were iwo completely different feelings.

She smiled gently in response. “Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Zurich.”

“Your heart determines how you look. I know I‘m old, but my judgment of people has always been

accurate.”

Zahra was obviously satisfied and fond of Emma, so Emma took a seat next to the hospital bed and

chatted with her.

Throughout the conversation, Zahra asked how Emma and Wesley got together. The two had

discussed this topic in advance, so she responded very naturally, “We‘ve known cach other for years,

but we used to be friends back then. We got close after I returned to the country.”

Zahra nodded, took her hand again, and lamented, “Wesley has never gotten a girlfriend after the one

he met when he was young. Because of that, rumors started circulating that he didn‘t like women. I feel

so bad for him…”

Emma could understand Zahra. Male artists of the same age as Wesley were mostly married and had

children, but Wesley had never settled down yet. Therefore, rumors about his sexual orientation never

died down.

However, why could someone as clean and pure as him become a point of attack by others?

“But it‘s fine now. I have nothing to worry about if he has you.” When Zahra said these words, it

seemed to breathe new life into her haggard face. Her joy exuded from the bottom of her heart.

Considering Zahra‘s condition, Emma stayed only for a while before leaving the ward.

When Wesley took Emma back to the hotel, she asked, “Do you want to send Mrs. Zurich to Jonestown

for treatment?”

“It‘s useless.” Wesley shook his head sadly. “The doctor told us she has two months left, so we don‘t

want to make her suffer anymore.”

Since they were on a sad topic, Emma‘s eyes turned red all of a sudden. “Then you should spend more

time with her.”

“Yeah.” Wesley could sce her sadness and comforted her with a gentle voice, “Her health has been in

decline for the past few years, so we are all mentally prepared that she will leave us one day.”

He also added, “I know it‘s sad, but it is still bearable.”

Emma nodded lightly.

She experienced the death of her mother before, but she was still young at that time, so she felt like

her whole world had crumbled.

To this day, she felt extremely regretful. Even though she was only her adoptive mother, she was kind

to Emma. That was why Emma felt regretful that she could not be filial to her mother before the latter

passed on.

Wesley asked her as if remembering something, “Have you ever thought about looking for your

biological father?”

Her biological mother died not long after giving birth to her, but what about her biological father?

Emma shook her head. “There are too many people in this world. How am I supposed to find him?”

She had this thought when she first learned that Steven was not her biological father.

However, she lacked money, power, and connections. Even if she wanted to find him, where should

she start?

Later, she married Trevor. Trevor was powerful and well–connected, but she dared not ask him to find

her biological father because she was not favored in the household. She couldn‘t even tell him that

Steven was not her biological father.

Wesley raised his hand and gently caressed her head. “Don‘t be discouraged. I‘ll help you find him

when I have time.”

Emma was surprised and moved. “Thank you.”

“You don‘t have to be so polite with me.” Wesley smiled.

“You should take a rest. I‘m going to the hospital.”

Emma thought for a while and stopped Wesley. “Does your mom have any favorite dishes? I‘ll cook

them for her later.”

Wesley‘s eyes lit up. “Really?”

Emma responded seriously, “Well, I don‘t know what else I can do for you, so I‘ll try to cheer her up a

little.”

Whether it was Wesley or Zahra, they both treated her with sincerity, so she figured it was only right to

repay them.

Wesley thought about it and uttered, “My mother will no longer stay in the hospital because of her

condition. She should be discharged in two days. It‘ll be more convenient for you to come home and

cook for her.”

“Okay,” Emma responded and sent Wesley off.

After making herself a cup of coffee, Emma took out her laptop and resumed work.

However, after writing a few words, she was interrupted by Susanna‘s call. Susanna smiled happily on

the phone. “You and President Zurich are trending.”

Emma was surprised. “No way?”

How did she get photographed as soon as she went to the hospital with Wesley?!

Susanna emphasized, “I‘m not lying. The picture of President Zurich holding your hand in the hospital

when you visited his mother was photographed.”

Emma took a deep breath and then heard Susanna exclaiming, “Don‘t tell me you‘re no longer

pretending! Look at you holding hands!”
