The sun rose and set, and a glimmer of light glinted on the horizon.
Emily came out of the bedroom and tidied up the sleeves of her shirt. Anthea, who leaned against the window of the living room, looked over at her. After looking up and down, Anthea raised her eyebrows and asked, 'Are you going to wear this set of clothes?"
"Yes! Why ask?" Emily nodded.
Anthea blinked her eyes. "Emily, aren't you going to see your fiance's parents today? Since it's the first time to visit them, don't you think your dress is... too casual? Would you like me to find you two dresses with flowers patterns, they will make you shine!"
The sudden return of Calvin disturbed her routine.
If the marriage was put on the agenda, she would not be able to return to Country S for the time being. In this way, she needed to apply for a wedding leave like him.
Emily looked down at herself. She wore a light beige shirt, a pair of light tan loose trousers, with a very thin belt around her waist for decoration. Her dress was simple and casual.
She shook her head. "No, I think I look good now!"
Upon hearing this, Anthea shrugged and picked up the small purse on the sofa. "Well, let's go. Your fiance has been waiting downstairs eagerly!"
Emily asked in surprise, "Calvin is here?"
She walked to the window and looked down. Indeed, she saw a figure standing there, which was in line with Calvin's gentlemanly style. He came so early and did not make a call to urge her. Instead, he just waited patiently downstairs.
Anthea and Emily went downstairs and came out of the building hall.
There was a brown BMW car parked next to Calvin, and he was leaning against the car, behind which was the rosy sunset. Such a scene made her fall into a trance. She remembered that lethargic figure waiting for her when she came out of the office building at dusk...
In a daze, she had already walked down the steps.
Calvin walked to her quickly and his eyes were bright. "Emily, you look so beautiful today!"
"Thank you!" Emily came to her senses and smiled.
Without noticing Anthea, who came down with Emily, Calvin took the initiative to ask, "Miss Lee, where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
"I'm not going to be a third wheel. You two can stay alone. I'll go back to the hospital and be on duty. I'll drive by myself!" Anthea waved her hand and pointed to an Audi Al not far away.
After they waved goodbye to each other, they all got into the cars and drove out of the apartment area.
Because it was a visit, they went to the supermarket halfway to buy some gifts and nutrition products.
Calvin put the things he had bought in the trunk. After closing it, Calvin looked at her and gently asked, "Emily, will you be nervous?"
Emily said, "I'm fine!"
Calvin came over to hold her hand and considerately comforted her. "Don't worry, it's not the first time for you to see them. Don't feel nervous and stressed. They like you very much!"
"Okay." Emily nodded and bent over to get into the car when he opened the door for her.
When they got out of the underground parking lot and met the signal light, the phone rang.
It was Anthea who called her. Emily was a little surprised and puzzled. She picked it up and asked about it.
In the line, Anthea said quickly, "Emily, Dr. Chin's grandmother has passed away!" "Ah?" Emily's eyes widened in shock.
Anthea continued to say seriously, "It seems to have happened in the early morning. I heard about it when I just arrived at the hospital. Many colleagues have gone to visit her! The specific condition is that the cancer cells spread all over her body and she stayed in the ICU for 24 hours, but in the end, there was no way to save her! Now her body has been sent to the mortuary!"
It was only after a long while that Emily came to her mind.
