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 to me in 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.
