Desmond nodded. “Yeah, you were an employee of his company before, weren't you? Emma, let me tell you. Mr.
Fleming's business is flourishing these two years, and his company is expanding rapidly...”
Emma cut him off impatiently. “Wait a minute. Why is Thomas footing my medical bills?”
Madeline tried to reassure her, “Emma, you don't have to be bothered about this. Most importantly, you need to
take a good rest.”
Even so, Emma insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter. “Mom, be frank with me. Did you decide for me and
arrange for me to be with him?”
“Emma, I'm doing so for your sake...” Madeline tried to appease her.
Desmond echoed excitedly, “Emma, I'm sure you know even better than us how wealthy and influential Mr. Fleming
is! Don't you know handfuls of women are falling heads over heels for him? It's a blessing that he has a soft spot for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou!”
No way! Emma uttered resolutely, “Don't you know that Thomas Fleming is a womanizer? I bet almost a hundred
young ladies have fallen into his trap all this while. Thus, I'd be shooting myself in the foot if I were to marry him.
Not to mention, he's not a man devoted to love. I bet it won't take long before he's sick of me and divorces me.”
“Emma, you don't have to worry about this. Mr. Fleming has turned over a new leaf. By the way, he has just
received a grand award as one of the city's top ten outstanding young men recently. With this, he has gained public
recognition as an eligible bachelor. You shouldn't dwell on the stain in his past. Needless to say, he's worthy of you
now!”
“Emma, we heard you've offended a mafia boss known as Sixtus, am I right? Mr. Fleming has promised to talk
things out with them on for your sake. Apart from that, he promises to look for doctors to cure Amelia's legs.”
Madeline tried to convince her.
Her words suddenly reminded Emma about Sixtus. Zeke, Amelia, and I had fallen into the hands of his subordinates,
hadn't we? How is it possible for me to be sound and safe here now?
She shot Zeke a quizzical glance, but he did not utter any words.
Anyway, it's not the time to think about that now. Mustering up her courage, she said solemnly, “Mom, Uncle
Desmond, I hope you can stop pestering me. I'm deeply in love with a man. Thus, I won't marry any other man for
the rest of my life.”
Desmond questioned her, “Emma, tell me who that man is. He might not know that Mr. Fleming has taken a fancy
to you. I'm sure it'll scare the crap out of that man if he knows that!”
Madeline threw Zeke a glance warily. “Emma, tell me honestly. Is he the one?”
Emma glanced at Zeke hesitantly before she finally nodded. “Yes, he's the one.”
Zeke was rendered speechless. What on earth is happening now? I've saved your life, and you're clinging to me

Desmond flipped out instantaneously. “B*stard! I knew it! Get out of our way now! Go as far as you can! No matter
what, we'll never allow Emma to enter into a relationship with you!”
Madeline rebuked, “If you still have a conscience for the sake of Emma and Amelia, you should vanish before them
at once!”
Desmond lifted the chair and was about to chase Zeke out with it.
Emma got up from the bed anxiously and dashed toward the window. “Stay put! If anyone moves again, I'll jump
down from here!”
My goodness! Madeline's face turned ashen in an instant. She slumped on the floor and started yowling, “If you
jump down from here, how am I supposed to survive? Do you have the heart to break mine? If anything happens to
you, it's meaningless for me to continue living in this world...”
Desmond was stupefied and drenched in a cold sweat. “Emma, please calm down first. Even if you're not thinking
for yourself, you mustn't lose touch with reality for Amelia's sake. The pitiful child does not have a father. If she
loses you again...”
