Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 797 As One

After a few seconds, Emelie asked, 'How did you get in?"

William studied her face closely, which was pale and sickly. She had deteriorated so much in just a few days.

As he breathed, his chest ached slightly. "Given your state, you still think that you can escape. So, is it really that surprising that I managed to get in?"

Emelie wasn't sure how to feel about that. "You came to Mercianna to find me?"

William replied, "When I heard that you were being kept here under house arrest by Wesley, sick and not allowed to go to the hospital, I didn't believe it."

"If you didn't believe it, why did you come?" she asked.

"I was afraid it might be true," he replied.

Emelie leaned against the wall, staring at him deeply. "You shouldn't have come, William. You've been getting too close to me lately.

"Aren't you worried that your business partners will start questioning your loyalty and come after you? Charging into a foreign city like Mercianna like this, you're practically handing them the opportunity."

William just smiled. "So, you think that they'd come after me because they believe I'm one of your men? Does that mean you're admitting that I am your man?"

Emelie scoffed at his wishful thinking. "You should start writing your will. If you really die here in Mercianna, I'm afraid the Middleton family will blame me for it."

William grinned. He had learned that when she couldn't find a way to refute him, she'd resort to cold, harsh words.

He glanced outside, then spoke softly, "I'm not going to die, angel. As long as you're safe, I'm safe.

Because he'd do whatever it took to stay alive, just so he could protect her.

"There's no one around,' he said, taking her hand. "I'm getting you out of here."
