Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 425

Chapter 425: Guilt

Eric and Emily headed to Kimberly's hospital room. Before they even stepped inside, they saw a heartwarming scene: the spirited and outspoken Emily was seated by Kimberly's bedside.

"I'll get you some apples," Emily chirped. She had been at the hospital for days now, and even someone as picky as Kimberly had grown fond of her.

Perhaps it was because Kimberly, born into a wealthy family, had been surrounded by pretense her entire life. Genuine words were rare in her world.

Emily, however, was a rebel by nature. Unlike the typical socialite, her emotions-joy, anger, sadness, and excitement-were all written plainly on her face. There was no pretense about her.

Sometimes, her words were thoughtless, but Kimberly liked her precisely for that. In her mind, she had already decided Emily would one day be her daughter-in-law.

"Alright," Kimberly replied softly.

"You've already fed my mom ten apples today. If she eats anymore, she'll probably throw up," Eric said, rubbing his temples. Emily was the kind of person who couldn't stop once you praised her, like a puppy chasing after compliments.

Kimberly must have already grown tired of apples. Yet, because she liked Emily, she accepted them without complaint.

Ever since she had been injured, Kimberly's personality had changed significantly. Once sharp and domineering, she had grown gentler, her entire aura transforming.

"My mom likes it," Emily snapped, glaring at Eric. "You're not allowed to speak." After all, this month, she was technically his 'master.' A slave had no right to talk back to their master.

"Emily, don't mind him," Kimberly said with a laugh, covering her mouth. "I like apples, especially the ones you bring me."

Kimberly had once thought this period of her life would be her darkest. She had lost her husband, her family, and had suffered a stabbing.
