SWNOVELS Chapter 447 Never Give Up During Hard Times
Now, Linda was only worried that Emily would be demotivated and would take things too hard because she was still young and couldn't bear the pain caused by this sort of matter.
"Okay, Ms. Xia. I will go with you. I don't want to go back to that home anymore." Emily's tears rolled down her cheeks. She managed to stand up from the ground and hold Linda by the hand. Her instinct told her that she should go with Ms. Xia who would be kind to her and would not harm her. Somehow, Emily felt relieved and pleased while staying with Linda. She believed that Linda would surely give her the best guidance and give her the hope to search for her bright future, enough to bring her confidence to pursue her dreams.
This morning, Emily might have jumped down from from the roof if Linda hadn't persuaded her not to by telling her how she could take charge of her own life.
At that time, Emily thought that she would only be able to free herself from the miserable situation she was in if she jumped off the building.
If Linda hadn't meddled in this matter, things might have been left unsettled. Emily's uncle and auntie would have just ignored the situation because they didn't want to stir up trouble. After all, Emily wasn't their daughter. She was just a niece who lived with them, depending on them for her basic necessities. They disliked her very much.
When she learned that Emily wanted to go with her, Linda smiled, and she helped Emily get back up on her feet. Then, Linda left the office with Emily. At about four o'clock, when school was about to be over, Linda asked Emily to pack up her things before they would go back home together. The Mu clan's villa was a massive estate, so it was easy to find a room for Emily. There was also another important reason that Linda took Emily in. Emily was scared not only because she might not be able to go back to school without the grants, but also the fact that she was pregnant. Linda found out about it and didn't tell anyone, but she swore she would protect Emily and take care of everything for her.
Jerome was sent to the police station. The police had to interrogate him and ask whether he did such thing to Emily or not.
Linda also told Anna to keep a close watch on Jerome and make him do a paternity test. She wanted to figure out whether Jerome was the father of Emily's baby, and she had to make sure of it before she make a move, even though she had already guessed that Emily was pregnant with Jerome's baby.
Emily gasped the moment she arrived at Linda's house. She was shocked at how big Linda's house was.
When they entered the house, the servants queued up on both sides and lowered their heads, greeting, "Good afternoon, My Lady."
Linda slightly smiled and nodded at them. After the brief greetings, she went to the living room with Emily.
Linda asked the servants to set up a clean room for Emily and help her put away her clothes. After that, Linda brought Emily to the dining room for a meal.
Since Linda had no idea whether Charles would be back home for dinner, she asked a servant, "Has Young Master told you what time he would come back home today?"
The servant replied, "Young Master said that he will be back in time to have dinner with you. Would you like to wait for him? He might be here soon."
Linda nodded and asked the chef in the kitchen to prepare dinner for them.
"Ms. Xia, you really are the Lady of a clan. Your clan must be very rich because your house is enormous! But why do you still work as a teacher in our school? Teachers don't have high incomes, right?" asked Emily, confused.
Her question was straightforward and clear. For her to be this blunt and frank, it might do her well in the future.
"I like the job. And I don't think it's good for me to stay at home all the time. I should go out and socialize with other people." Linda slightly smiled.
Emily nodded and said, "That's right." She then looked at Linda's belly. Linda was more than six months pregnant, so her belly had more than just a bulge. It was evident that a baby was growing inside of her.
Emily touched Linda's belly and looked gloomy. "Ms. Xia, I think that you are a very fortunate lady. You can have your baby born into this world without any problems. But I'm not as lucky as you...
Ms. Xia, is your husband nice to you?"
"Well, yeah, he is very gentle to me."
"How does he treat you?"
Linda touched Emily's head and said, "Don't think about these things now. You should focus on studying hard. You are still a young girl, and you are not of legal age to get married, yet. You will definitely meet a man who would love you and cherish you." Linda noticed that Emily was insecure about herself and her future.
After hearing Linda, Emily nodded and then shook her head, with a look of shame and regret.
"Ms. Xia, I was so reckless. I shouldn't have had that silly idea of jumping off the building. I didn't mean to impose burden to the teachers and cause a mess in school."
"As long as you have realized your mistake, don't worry about it anymore. Just remember, no matter what kind of difficult situation you're in, you shouldn't choose to kill yourself because no problem gets solved with suicide."
Linda stretched her hand and lightly tapped Emily's head as she gave her a sermon.
Emily kept silent after she heard what Linda had said. Then, she responded, "I see."
"From now on, please be a good girl."
"Ms. Xia, what you had just said makes sense. Trust me. I will try my best to study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination. I will make sure to get high marks with all of my capabilities so that I could get into a good university."00000000
