Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 709 The Old Case Reopened

Emelie didn't hide anything from him. "Jodie found out that the driver's husband has an extra 200 thousand dollars in his account. She's definitely been paid off."

Samuel showed no anger or hatred toward the mastermind behind the scenes. He remained silent, as if lost in thought.

Emelie tried to control her rising anger. "I'll find out who did this. I'm sorry you got caught up in this."

With his glasses off, Samuel's eyes were sharp and clear. He extended his hand toward her, as if reaching for her hand.

Emelie paused for a moment, then placed her hand in his.

His palm was cool to the touch, but his gaze was steady and warm, like a calm spring in winter. It held a quiet reassurance.

"Can you promise me something?" he asked softly.

Emelie responded without hesitation, "Yes. What is it?"

Samuel gave a slight smile. "Just promise me. As for what it is, let's leave it for later. I'll ask you for it when the time comes."

Emelie glanced down at their clasped hands. She didn't know what he might ask for, but it didn't matter. Whether out of gratitude for saving her life or because of their long-standing bond, she would agree to whatever he needed.

Samuel had just undergone surgery, so he was still weak. After waking up, he managed to have some oatmeal. Then, he rested for a while and took his medication before drifting back into a drowsy state.

Emelie stayed in his hospital room until late at night.

Just then, Jodie quietly approached her and whispered that Bryan had arrived.

Emelie left the room and stepped into the corridor, where she saw Bryan and Nehemiah.
