5 Heartbroken
1217 Words
Anna didn't understand why Robert, who usually cared about and talked to her, was suddenly quiet today. Why can't Robert just move on and forget about that stupid mute? Anna knew it must have something to do with Emily again.
Her chest rose and fell violently, and she thought she would die of anger before the surgery!
"Forget it the b***h is dead anyway. How long can Emily live in Robert's heart?" Anna said with a dark look on her face.
...
Emily went to the hospital as soon as she had settled the kids in. She had no choice but to resign immediately.
The sooner she gets this done, the better.
"Professor Camille!" the nurses yelled as soon as they saw her entering the building.
Several nurses are talking and joking in the aisle. They approach Emily to congratulate her.
"The dean has been trying to call you, but it keeps going to voicemail." The internet is already flooded with footage of your heroic treatment!"
"Everyone compliments your medical abilities. Even the Dean was impressed and wants to congratulate you. "Get going, don't make the Dean wait!"
Emily gave them a friendly smile, "Thank you." She said, but deep down, she felt trapped. Emily didn't know what she would do now that a video had been released about her actions back at the airport. She knew the Dean won't accept her resignation now that he had seen the footage. What a mess! Emily thought. She walked to the Dean's office, turned the handle, and walked inside.
Emily stopped abruptly as she walked into the office.
The Dean is not the only one standing in the room. Although he has his back on Emily, Emily will never forget how he looks.
Hearing the door open, Robert turned his head, and his eyes fell on Emily, who was freezing at the door.
"Professor Camille! You came. This is Robert, Robert, this is the famous doctor, Camille," the Dean introduces them, but Robert isn't paying any attention to him.
He looked at Emily, and his lips moved slightly.
"Emily …?"
He looked at her and remembered the times they used to be married.
Is that really her? he thought. He doesn't know if what he sees is real but knows he can never forget Emily's face.
"I knew... you weren't dead."
Robert was surprised as he kept staring at Emily.
He stepped in front of Emily a few steps and grabbed her hand.
"Emily, all these years, I have never given up asking for information about you."
"Let go!"
Emily struggled violently. How dare he touch her after everything he has done to her! Does he really think she will fall for him again?
"Don't do this." Robert frowned. He pulled Emily's hand tightly as if he feared she would disappear once he loosened his grip. "Emily, give me another chance. I have thought a lot over the years; I..."
"Oh."
Emily sneered. Why didn't you say these words before? She thought.
Instead, you listened to Anna and divorced me. She thought bitterly.
"Sorry, you have mistaken me for someone else." When Emily saw that she couldn't struggle, she narrowed her eyes and whispered, "I am not Emily; I am doctor-Camille!"
"I have never met you; if you want to see a doctor, I am here. If you continue like this, I will report you for s****l harassment!"
She speaks her name, confident and strong.
Robert is slightly stunned. If he recalls, Emily was always gentle.
Moreover, she is no longer the dumb one before, and her voice is tactfully beautiful.
Is it true that he mistook her for someone else?
However, how can there be such a coincidence with such similar looks?
"Emily."
Robert thinks she is losing her temper. He has been looking for Emily all these years, to the point where he almost went crazy. He is unwilling to give up even the slightest chance of finding Emily.
He looked down and said quietly, "I am sorry for grabbing you like that. How you beat and punish me doesn't matter just as long as you give me another chance to know you again."
"Action always speaks louder than words. I will prove to you through my actions that I have changed over the years."
"That's enough." Emily looked at Robert, and she saw the sadness in his eyes. She closes her eyes and opens them again; she hides her emotions before looking at Robert again.
She shook her head and scoffed, "Robert, I think you really miss this Emily woman like crazy. You have a wife, and you are still obsessed with another woman despite your marriage," Emily said before she continued,
"Hearing you say that, I think you must be very sorry for Emily, but what does it have to do with me? You know you are making a fool of yourself in front of the Dean. Why do you want Emily so much that you think I am her? You must have done something awful to the poor woman."
Emily smirks, and her eyes are full of mockery as she looks at him.
Robert becomes angry when he hears her say that, and suddenly he forcibly drags Emily and walks outside.
"Let go of me! You madman!"
Emily was shocked. She didn't know what Robert would do, but no one dared to come forward even though she struggled.
Robert throws Emily into the car. He pulls open the door, sits in the driver's seat, and steps on the accelerator.
High-rise buildings stand on the street, and crowds flow endlessly.
Emily's wrist was red from where he had grabbed her; she panted heavily and scolded, thinking this man was crazy!
"Where are you taking me?"
Emily, knowing she couldn't escape, asked in a low voice.
Without looking back, Robert whispered, "Our home."
When they got to the place, Emily didn't want to leave the car, but Robert grabbed her wrist and dragged her out forcibly. No matter how Emily struggled, she couldn't break free.
The door opened, and Emily was forced to follow Robert.
And here, it used to be their home...
"Emily, five years, five years."
Robert repeated this sentence, his voice hoarse as if praying, "Nothing has changed here. Do you remember?"
He bent down and looked Emily in the eye, trying to see if she remembered for even a moment.
Sadness or hatred, as long as there is a little, even a little, that can prove that she is Emily!
Unfortunately, the doctor named "Camille" in front of him shows no emotions.
Her heart ached, but she looked calm and collected on the surface.
Robert was completely frightened. He looked sad and softly said, "No... don't."
Robert buried his face in the crook of her neck, and her fingers couldn't stop shaking.
"You are Emily, aren't you? Please don't lie to me like this; I'm in pain... Emily."
Listening to him shouting like this, Emily is also in pain. She closes her eyes, but more than that, she hates it!
"Daddy!"
A voice suddenly calls out.
Emily immediately opened her eyes. A boy, about five years old, was standing in the room, still holding a video game in his hand.
He looks Emily in the eye; all she can see is anger.
