Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 69

At the hospital, the doctors ran a series of tests on Emma.

In the end, they concluded that she was in relatively good health but had signs of over-exhaustion. She was hypoglycemic and her blood sugar levels were extremely low right now as she hadn't had anything to eat or drink. These factors all combined to induce her fainting spell.

Trevor frowned as he checked with the doctor, “What's hypoglycemia? Is it serious?”

A while ago, he found out about her allergy to red meats, and now he found out about her hypoglycemia too. He never knew that she had so many conditions he was unaware of.

In the past, she had taken great care to accommodate his poor digestion, and he had taken it for granted without realizing that she needed to be cared for too.

“It's not that serious. All the patient has to do is stick to a proper eating schedule and take all three meals every day. Her condition now is a sign that she hasn“t been cating properly,” the doctor responded reassuringly after noticing how tense Trevor was.

The doctor left after reporting on Emma’s condition, and Cerys spoke up. “Mr. Bateson, why don't you stay with Emma until she wakes up? I'll go and buy some food for her.”

Trevor nodded, and Cerys closed the door gently behind her when she left.

A few moments later, Emma stirred awake.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Trevor, who was sitting beside her hospital bed.

The image of Trevor holding her by the waist just before she lost consciousness flashed across her mind and she instinctively closed her eyes again.

Why is he still here?

Emma was not keen on facing him right now.

Even if he took her to the hospital because she fainted, he should have left by now since she was fine, right?

Trevor huffed when he noticed Emma'’s eyes opening and closing

He used to think that she was stiff and boring, but it turned out that she had a cheeky side.

“I know you're awake. Stop pretending you're not” Trevor said airily as he stared at her lovely face. Emma was speechless.

She began to wonder how she ever put up with this attitude of his.

Doesn't he know how to speak nicely? How on earth did I survive three years of marriage with him without exploding in rage?

Still, since she had been caught, Emma opened her eyes, albeit reluctantly.

“Thank you for taking me to the hospital, Mr. Bateson,” she thanked him in an extremely polite tone. Her gratitude and distant, courteous manner only served to leave Trevor in a terrible mood.

He narrowed his eyes in displeasure as he glared at her. To avoid his gaze, Emma glanced away and tried to sit up.

Trevor wanted to move forward and help, but Emma noticed his movements and swiftly sat up by herself.

After awkwardly retracting his hand, Trevor decided to stand, but what he did not know was that by standing up, his presence was all the more pressuring for Emma.

This was especially so when he began to lecture her, “The doctor said you have signs of over— exhaustion, but if I recall correctly, we have not demanded that you complete the screenplay as soon as possible.” I

Trevor was furious that she risked her health for this when he, as the investor in this project, had not requested that the project or screenplay be completed on such short notice.

Why did she pull an all-nighter?

Emma remained silent.

After all, she could not say that she worked herself half to death so that she could get this project done and over with, so that she could distance herself from him for good, right?

“Also, the doctor said you're hypoglycemic and you haven't been eating properly.”

Trevor found this hard to believe when he recalled the good life she had in the past.

"Emma, didn't you used to be full of vigor and enthusiasm for life? Why are you skipping out on your meals now?”

Emma continued to stay silent. She did not want to waste her breath with him.

His rebukes were stirring up all the negative emotions that she had locked away.

She feared that they would get into an argument if she opened her mouth to speak.

Trevor did not understand her at all.

First of all, there was no way for her to control when her creativity sparked. As a screenwriter, whenever she felt her inspiration coming, she would lose herself in her writing

Secondly, she had to work hard because she needed a way to sustain herself.

As soon as she finished this script, she could continue taking on other writing projects and earn a steady income.

“Money is all it takes for a person to live a comfortable life. All their wants and needs would be met,” Trevor commented icily out of anger that she was ignoring him. He taunted her for being rash when she sought a divorce.

Emma looked up once she heard that. She stared him in the eyes and spelled it out clearly, “Yes, a person can meet all their wants and needs with money, but a loveless marriage can also make a person lose all hope for living.”

“To never feel loved, accepted, or appreciated, is something that makes a person feel like their existence is meaningless. It might even lead to thoughts about ending their life.”

"After all, the person would feel like they're a worthless human being anyway, so they might as well die. No one would care or be hurt anyway.”

Emma averted her eyes as soon as she finished speaking. She tried her hardest to suppress the tears that threatened to well up inside her eyes.

Every single word she uttered came from the heart. None of it was an exaggeration.

Throughout the three years she spent with Trevor, she entertained thoughts of ending her life more than once because she saw no meaning in staying alive.

She had tried her best to uphold the marriage. She treated Trevor, his family, and his friends with sincerity and gave it her all, but no matter what she did, Trevor did not care one bit.

Once, she lay in the bathtub with a knife in her hands, but in the end, she managed

10 stop herself.

One should only live for oneself, and not for others.

Trevor was shaken to the core when he heard what Emma said. His eyes were fixed on her as he clenched his jaw.

He never thought that his cold and callous treatment of her would scar her that deeply, and that she would even consider taking her own life.

Trevor tried to respond to what she said, but somehow, anything he could think of saying would only sound futile and meaningless

Just then, Cerys came back to the room with a bag of food. Immediately, she noticed that the atmosphere in the room was rather tense, so she glanced at Trevor at once.

Did his biling tongue strike again? Is that why it feels so awkward in here?

Cerys felt a little exasperated.

Mr. Bateson and Mr. Mason have been good friends for so long now. Why hasn“t he learned anything about making a woman happy?

Zachary was a flirtatious casanova, but he was always gentle and thoughtful. This was why a lot of women fell for him despite his playboy reputation.

Regardless of the outcome, at the very least, they were happy throughout the relationship However, when it came to Trevor, his words tended to suck all the oxygen out of the room and left people gasping for air instead...

Cerys sighed to herself before walking over to Emma and saying, “Miss Yates, I've bought some food for you. You should eat first.”

“Thank you,” Emma responded gratefully.

Emma did not spare Trevor another glance. She chose to ignore his presence.

Sensing her coldness toward him, Trevor went over to the side and stared out the window.

While Emma began to eat, Cerys advised her, “You shouldn“t go back to that apartment for now. Your brother might come back and cause a scene again.”

Emma froze for a second before nodding in acknowledgment. “Yeah, you're right. I

can't go back there now.”

Simon would not give up this easily. The police would probably just give him a fine, but there most likely would not be any further punishment, so he would continue to try and look for her.
