Chapter 0022

Maximus carried Mary in his arms, who had fainted at the sight of him. He felt a deep sense of guilt for his wife’s reaction. Before, when she saw him, she would flash a wide, ear–to–ear smile.

Emma watched Maximus, trying to understand his expression, but she was also upset with him, so she turned her back on him. Once he was out of sight, she dabbed a cotton ball with alcohol and held it under Mary’s nose, causing her to wake up in a startle.

“Miss Mary! Calm down, calm down, you’re okay! The mister isn’t here,” Emma said as she held her by the shoulders to keep her from getting up and falling.
