Looking at her saddened expression, Kobi could tell what was playing in her mind. He pushed the wheelchair forward and moved closer to her. "Do you really want to leave?"
"This isn't my home. Why should I stay?" Emily looked at him.
"You're right." Kobi stopped in front of her, leaning weakly in the wheelchair. His face was particularly pale, but his smile was distinctly heinous. "But can you leave me? Do you really want to leave me?"
Emily gritted her teeth. "Kobi Hudson, don't think that I can't live without you!"
"I didn't say that. I'm just telling you to listen to your heart."
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his embrace. Emily was startled by his sudden movement, but she didn't dare to struggle for it might hurt him. Her hands were tied.
"What are you doing..."
"You can live without me, but you won't be happy." He grabbed her waist tightly. "Ask yourself. Do you really want to leave me?"
His firm tone shot straight into Emily's heart like a sharp dagger.
Exasperated that he could read her mind, she rebuked, "Get off your high horse! I will go home tomorrow!"
"Are you sure?"
He looked at her with a smile.
"Of course! I'm d*mn sure! I'll leave first thing in the morning! Let me go!"
Emily didn't care whether she would hurt him when she pushed him away forcefully. Finally freeing herself from his embrace, she pointed straight at the door with a cold look on her face. "You can leave now. I don't want to see you. Get out!"
Kobi didn't seem to be bothered by her sudden burst of fury. He looked at her with a passionate gaze as if he was looking at a child throwing a tantrum.
It pissed Emily off even more. "I told you to get out. Get out!"
The door was pushed open as soon as she finished shouting.
Eric barged in and asked, "What's going on?"
Emily's tears started to fall. "Eric, get him out of here. I don't want to see him..." "D*mn it!" Eric's expression changed dramatically as he strode towards Kobi, flexing his fist. "What did you do again!"
Bang!
Suddenly, the door was kicked open again with a loud sound that startled Emily. She looked over and saw four to five men in black coming in.
"Eric..."
Emily thought that Eric brought these men here.
Meanwhile, Eric frowned. "Who are you?"
However, none of the men answered him. One of them glared at Emily and commanded sternly, "It's her. Take her away!"
All of a sudden, the four men surrounded her.
Emily was scared out of her wits. "Hey, who are you people? Eric, help me!"
As she was screaming at the top of her lungs, someone covered her chin with something, and a pungent smell rushed into her nose. She whimpered before her body starting to weaken, and her vision gradually blurred.
"Emily!"
Before fainting, she seemed to hear Kobi's panicked cry.
When Ariah returned from the bathroom, she saw many people gathered at Emily's ward from afar.
"What the heck?" she muttered and immediately ran over.
She was shocked by what she saw. "Mr. Eric..."
Both Eric and Kobi looked particularly pale with hatred in their eyes. Eric lay on the ground while Kobi sat limply on the wheelchair as if someone drugged him.
