Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 50 "Mr. Hall..." The two bodyguards hesitated, unsure whether to close the elevator doors, but Llam showed no intention of stopping.

"Wait!" Emma rushed forward, holding food in her hands. "If you brought food, why not give it toin person?* Without waiting for a response, she grabbed the handles of his wheelchair and pulled him out of the elevator. The bodyguards were stunned.

"You two can go now. I'll take care of him," Emma said, dismissing the bodyguards and leading Liam into the fire escape.

"What's wrong? Are you mad?" Liam's mood softened slightly as he saw B Emma leave the doctor behind to chase after him.

He gently held her face, making her look at him. “You knew I'd be upset, yet you were chatting with the male doctor, huh?" "You weren't here yet, were you?” Emma teased with a smile, seeing his darkened expression. “Just kidding. It was just a polite conversation. What were you up to last night?" "I should be asking you what you were doing last night," Liam countered.

Emma had defeated the national boxing champion, outsmarted Vere, and even received courteous nods from the world-famous planist Darell. Now she could even dismantle bombs. Liam wondered what other surprises his wife had in store for him.

Emma pursed her lips. "Last night I disarmed a little something." "You call a bomb a little something?" Liam squinted.

"I didn't know what it was. I just couldn't stand the thought of Uncle Sean getting hurt, so I had to face it." Emma trailed off, finding it hard to continue her lie. "But last night, I felt someone jumping down from a helicopter to save me. Was that you?" Emma looked into Liam's eyes. Her intuition told her it was him.

Due to his injury, he hadn't shown up all night, only coming to the hospital the next morning. Everything seemed to fall into place.

Emma waited for Liam's response.

Suddenly, Liam asked, "Aren't you hungry?" "Yeah. What did you bring?" Emma's attention immediately shifted.

Emma quickly took out the beautifully packaged snacks, still steaming. “Do you want stoo?” Seeing her focus change so quickly, Liam couldn't help but smile. “No, they're for you." The warm and sweet treat instantly lifted her spirits.

Liam watched her, in her hospital attire, sitting on the stairs and munching like a little hamster, occasionally brushing crumbs off her pants *sit here; the ground is cold," Liam said with concern and then gestured that she should sit on his leg Emma glanced up at him, thought for a moment, and then moved, "Fine. I'll cover She leaned back against him and sat on his legs, then heard him say coldly, "Turn around." "What's wrong?" Emma asked, puzzled.

Chapter 50 "I bought enough for two. Aren't you going to share with me?" Liam said.

"Alright." Emma rummaged through the bag again, finding several snacks. She took out a box of cookies. "How about these?" "No." Liam refused.

She then took out a bottle of beverage. "What about this?" "This one's for you." Liam shook his head.

"What do you want to eat then?" Emma asked, Liam remained calm. "You go ahead. I'll let you know if I want something." "Okay." Ignoring the darkness in his eyes, she sat on him like a little pet and ate by herself.

Just then, the door to the fire escape opened.

"Mr. Hall..." The person entering was Levi. He paused mid-sentence, seeing Emma straddling Liam, a bit of creamy filling lingering at the corner of her lips.

Levi was taken aback by the scene. “You are... I'm sorry, Mr. Hall, I shouldn't have disturbed you. I'll leave now!" Emma was probably too exhausted from disarming the bomb to realize how her current actions with Liam might look to others. She couldn't understand Levi's exaggerated reaction. "Why did Mr. Carter act like that?" Liam, his hand-resting on Emma's waist, said calmly, "He probably thinks we're being a bit too intimate." "What?" Emma felt her face heat up. Ever since she found out his legs weren't paralyzed at the abandoned villa, she got nervous whenever things got a bit too close.

She g quickly climbed off his lap. “... I'll just sit on the floor to eat. It's cooler down here."" Liam maintained a mysterious smile.

Emma glanced at his profile, his hand supporting his forehead, a light smile playing on his lips. "Is this... okay?" she asked.

"Up to you," Liam replied, watching her.

Minutes later, they left the hospital.

The news of Emma defusing the bomb had just started gaining traction when Liam suppressed it. Overnight, all online reports about the incident vanished. Only a few rumors remained, which would soon be censored.

Emma scrolled through her phone. "You're pretty powerful, huh? So, this is what it's like to be wealthy, where even big news can be. suppressed." "I took seffort," Liam said.

Emma raised an eyebrow, probing, "Uncle Sean said Aria might be dead. Do you know about it?" "Yes, both legs were dismembered," Liam said without emotion.

Emma shuddered, "D...

a le wondered in dismembered?” She wondered if Liam had anything to do with it out of curiosity, she asked, "How did you find out?? 08:29 Mon, 8 Jul Chapter 50 "From the forensic photos," Liam replied calmly, his emotions unreadable.

Emma probed again, "Do you know who did it?" "It's still uncertain. The police are investigating," Liam's tone remained steady.

Emma knew he wouldn't tell her. Aria had been kidnapped by Liam in the abandoned villa before her death, so Emma suspected he was involved in her demise.

Emma's heart grew colder, not out of sympathy for Aria, but because her husband was becoming increasingly unpredictable.

"Who planted the bomb at Uncle Sean's concert?" Emma asked.

"It was Sebastian's uncle, Parker Dow," Liam replied.

The nwas unfamiliar to Emma. She had never heard of Parker.

"In recent years, the Gomez family has been getting bolder. Sebastian's uncle moved abroad early and m beca top tycoon. The Dow family has a feud with the Rivera family overseas. The Rivera family's four sons are too influential, making them hard to tackle directly. So, they targeted your uncle," Liam explained. Emma narrowed her eyes. Clearly, her uncle had been put in grave danger.

The names Gomez and Dow were now etched in her memory.
