Hearing what she had said, Emily chuckled. While she chuckled, tears fell down her cheek uncontrollably. "I'll come back and see you whenever I'm free. You'll forever be my friend."
Seeing Emily shedding tears, Ariah paused for a moment, "Why are you crying? You're making me want to cry too! Let me tell you something, I have never shed tears for a woman in my entire life."
Emily sobbed and said, "Me too."
Hearing that, Ariah comforted, "Alright then, let's not cry anymore."
Nodding her head, Emily replied, "Alright, let's not cry anymore." After wiping away her tears away, she said, "I borrowed one of the nurse's phone to call my family two days ago. My dad said he would send someone to pick me up, so I will probably be leaving within two days. I'll let you know when my family comes over to pick me up."
"Well, anyway you have to stay here in the ward for a few more days. So when your family comes, you don't have to go back to the Hudson Family anymore. You can just go back with your family."
After thinking for a moment, Ariah added, "Also, you don't have to see Kobi anymore. Just leave without lingering feelings, okay?"
A toxic relationship should be cut off as soon as possible.
Emily glanced at her with a guilty look and asked, "Do you not want me to say a proper goodbye to him?"
"What's the use of doing a proper farewell? If he told you he's still in love with you, would you still be able to leave?"
With a serious look, Ariah advised, "Emily, if you and Kobi are getting married because you love each other, I'll be very happy and will give you my sincere blessings. But it's obvious that he doesn't have deep feelings for you, and I don't want you to be trapped in a one-sided relationship. You'll only suffer alone in the end."
If it wasn't meant to be, it was probably best for her to let go of this relationship.
After hearing the advice, Emily sniffed and said, "Yeah, I know that too. I'll do my best to end this relationship even though that means I'll suffer for a period of time, but I'm sure I'll be able to walk out of this relationship eventually."
Why was it so difficult for such a good girl like Emily to meet someone who actually treated her well?
Ariah sighed.
"Ariah, I want to tell you something before I leave."
It seemed that Emily must have made an important decision. Her eyes sparkled as she held onto Ariah's hands.
Wearing a thoughtful expression, Ariah suddenly widened her eyes with disbelief, "You aren't going to tell me that you're pregnant with Kobi's child, are you?"
If something like this really happened, she would definitely kill herself.
"What? No!" Emily blushed. "That's not what I was going to say. Why did you think that could happen?"
Ariah then chuckled awkwardly.
With a sheepish smile on her face, Ariah was too embarrassed to say that on the first night they met, she and Jimmy had already heard them from their bedroom.
It was clear that they had sex, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear if she was really pregnant.
"What were you going to say?" Ariah cleared her throat and asked in a serious tone.
"I just want to tell you that..."
Taking a deep breath, Emily continued, "You and Jimmy should pay attention to Kobi from now on. He's not as gentle as he looks. He's cunning and seems like he's plotting on something. You have to be on guard against him, or you'll suffer later on."
Hearing Emily's words, Ariah was stunned for a moment.
What she said next made Ariah even more surprised, "A few days ago when I was taken away by Kevin from the hospital, didn't I disappear for a night? I told you that I was kidnapped, but I didn't know who kidnapped me. Until two days ago, my memory suddenly came back..."
"Ariah, it wasn't someone else who kidnapped me. It was Kobi. I knew about the secret between him and Kevin, so he was afraid that I would expose it to the public. That's why he kidnapped me. Then, he locked me up in a room and hypnotized me, used me as an experiment to erase my memories, then made me forget what he had done to me..."
But her memory came back. She suddenly remembered what had happened — she was hypnotized by Kobi in that room.
