Chapter 248 Pretending to Care

With Isabella's blessing, Emily felt a warm rush of relief wash over her heart.

From now on, she wouldn't be fighting alone.

Sophia wouldn't have any more excuses to mock her.

Thinking about this, Emily felt a lump in her throat and leaned into Isabella's arms, crying.

The mother and daughter talked for hours, not stopping until dawn.

Because of this, Emily didn't hear her phone ringing in her bag until she was about to head out to buy food and saw over twenty missed calls.

Some were from Abigail, some from Michael, and the rest were work calls.

After a moment of thought, Emily decided to call Abigail first. She didn't plan to tell everyone the good news about Isabella waking up just yet, but as her best friend, Abigail should know first.

"What did you say?" Abigail was at work when she heard the news that Isabella had woken up. She immediately jumped up from her office chair, startling everyone around her.

Realizing the situation, Abigail quickly smiled apologetically at everyone, said a few words of apology, and got up with her phone to leave the work area.

Abigail said excitedly, "Ms. Taylor woke up? Oh my God, I'll take leave right now to go see her!"

Emily replied, "No need, your work is more important. Actually, my mom woke up yesterday, but I was too excited and didn't have time to tell you... I'm sorry, Abigail, for making you worry all night."

Abigail said, "That's fine. I actually thought you might be at the hospital. I was working late last night and didn't know you hadn't come home. It was Michael who called me several times. He said he saw the house was dark and couldn't reach you, so he insisted I ask where you were."

Hearing this, Emily was momentarily speechless.
