Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 664 Shattered

Emelie said softly, "It's mainly because the arrow that you shot years ago took away almost half of my life. It left me severely weakened, and it's been hard to recover. If it weren't for his attentive care, I would be even more haggard right now."

William swallowed. The warm light didn't even manage to hide the paleness of his face. They finally brought up their old grudge and mentioned the arrow after all.

Emelie rested her elbow on the table. Her hand supported her chin as she said in a mocking and sarcastic tone, "You said you never really hurt me. So, did you shoot that arrow at me as a joke?"

William remained silent, but he swallowed again.

Emelie pretended to reflect, "It was my fault, Mr. Middleton. I didn't understand your true intentions. Still, Mr. Middleton, the joke was a bit too much."

William stared at her as his thin lips pressed together in a line.

Emelie continued, "The arrow missed my heart by just a hair. The operation to remove it took ten hours. It involved three different surgeons and two admissions of critical condition. I was in a coma for half a month after the operation, and I barely made it."

"Stop!" William suddenly shouted.
