Chapter 105 A Strong Embrace

Veda was doing alright now.

But Michael...

Emily felt a bit uneasy facing the aloof Michael.

She walked into the bedroom with a bowl of soup.

She figured Michael would be lying in bed, all down and out, waiting for her salvation like Veda. After all, they were both at their lowest, and she thought he'd be easy to talk to.

Then she could reason with him, tug at his heartstrings, and Michael would be super grateful. Maybe, in a good mood, he'd drink a few more bowls of soup and flash her a few more smiles.

And he wouldn't seem so annoying.

But to her surprise, as soon as she walked in, she saw Michael had already showered, his upper body bare, sitting by the bed and applying medicine to himself! Yeah, last night Mason's cane had left a long, deep scar on his back.

The whole Scarlett thing ended too late, and Michael had refused to let anyone into his room.

So Emily hadn't called the family doctor to help with the dressing.

She'd been worried about it. But Michael had taken care of it himself!

Hearing the door, Michael looked over and saw Emily coming in with the soup.

He instinctively swallowed and paused what he was doing.

'This bowl of soup must be for me, right? Does she still resent me? How could she not? She was terribly frightened that night,' Michael thought.

Thinking of this, Michael hesitated, and both of them felt awkward.

Emily broke the silence first. "Are you okay? How about I help you?"

Saying this, Emily handed the bowl of soup to Michael.
