Chapter 307: It Was an Accident
If possible, Emily did not want Henry to know that she was investigating something about Matriarch Jackson.
However, Joe might be in danger now.
She bit her lower lip and was about to speak when her phone rang.
Emily was nervous and she took out her phone in a hurry.
It was Joe! She hurriedly answered, “Joe, where are you? How are you? Are you safe? Is there anything wrong?”
“It’s fine. It is fine. I saw Terry. Hw will drive us back. Don’t worry.”
Joe sounded normal. Emily heaved a sigh of relief.
“That’s fine. Are you with Terry now? Hurry up and come back.”
After hanging up, Emily turned around and found that everyone was looking at her.
She exhaled and said, “It’s fine. He is with Terry.”
“Then, let’s go back to the office. Can we work when waiting for them?” Lois said, and everyone felt relieved.
“Alright, let’s go back first.”
Everyone greeted Henry and turned to walk into the lobby.
Emily also wanted to turn around, but Henry grabbed her wrist and said, “Come and have a cup of coffee with me.”
“I…” Emily felt a little guilty and whispered, “If I drink coffee at night, I will be sleepless…”
“Then you can drink a cup of tea with me.”
“Drinking tea is the same.”
“Drink water!”
Henry pulled Emily into the lounge, and placed a cup of warm water in front of her.
“How is it? Don’t you prepare to tell me the truth? You have been running around with Joe these days. What exactly do you want to do?”
Although Henry looked gentle, he also seemed cold and serious.
However, as long as he became serious, that cold feeling would not be less than Hunter.
Especially when he changed his gentle image and became cold and indifferent, he would give people a stiff feeling that was difficult to adapt.
“I’m… a little thirsty.” Emily picked up the cup with both hands and drank two mouthfuls.
When she put down the cup, she looked up and saw that Henry was looking at her seriously.
Did he mean that he would never give up until he got an answer?
“How long do you want to cheat me? I want to find out. How much time do you think it will take?”
“I… suspect Matriarch Jackson’s death…”
“Didn’t Hunter say that he wouldn’t allow you to investigate this matter? What else do you want to do?”
“But I know that there is something wrong about Matriarch Jackson’s death. I can’t just give up and let her die without knowing the truth!”
“Then tell me, who do you suspect? Why do you suspect?”
Henry stared at her with a cold gaze, “At that time, there was no one beside Matriarch Jackson except you. Who else would you suspect?”
Emily could not answer this question. She did not even know.
“So what? You do not even have a target. What can you do? Or are you hiding something else from me?”
“I...” Emily hesitated for a moment. She looked up and discovered that Henry had already come in front of her.
He looked down at her. With this posture, she suddenly felt as if the pressure overwhelmed her.
“Henry…”
“Why don’t you tell me? Don’t you believe me?”
She saw disappointment in his eyes, and she felt nervous.
However, could she tell him that she was the granddaughter of Matriarch Jackson?
It was not that she did not believe him, but that things were too complicated and strange. If she did not experience all of that, perhaps she would not believe it.
After all, the information that Matriarch Jackson left in the hospital system was changed. Who had such great ability?
Even Hunter did not believe in her on this matter. Would Henry believe her?
“I...”
In the end, she looked down.
“Since you don’t want to say it, I don’t need to force you.” Henry turned around and walked out of the lounge.
When he turned around, Emily felt a sense of anxiety.
She did not want to lie to him! Not at all!
She did not want to disappoint him, and she… would feel uncomfortable.
“Henry… oh!” Suddenly, her stomach was uncomfortable. Just as she opened her mouth, she almost vomited.
She wanted to stop Henry, but he had already walked out of the lounge. However, she could not open her mouth to speak.
She wanted to vomit…
Emily stood up but she had no chance to chase after him. She turned around and went into the bathroom.
Henry was walking very slowly. He thought that she would catch up and explain to him.
Actually, there was no point in being angry with her. If she were willing to explain, then he would decide to forgive her.
However, she did not. He walked all the way to the entrance of the lobby, but she still did not chase after him.
Would she always be so cold and distant to him?
Henry did not know why he was disappointed, but in short, he was disappointed.
He was so disappointed that he lost his sense of taste…
Just as he walked out of the door, he saw a few people get off the car in the open-air parking lot.
They were Terry and Rufus, as well as Joe, who was walking in the middle.
At first, he wanted to ignored, but when he saw Joe’s face turn scarlet red. Was that... blood?
Henry frowned and walked towards them, “What’s going on?”
Joe was a little embarrassed and whispered, “It’s fine.”
Rufus hurriedly said, “Just now, when I was walking on the road, I was hit by a motorcycle. I was careless…”
“Joe!” Emily was in the entrance of the lobby and she quickly ran out.
She had been retching in the bathroom for a while. She had planned to chase after Henry to find a chance to explain.
However, she did not expect to see Joe, who had returned with his injuries, when he came out.
“What’s going on? Didn’t you say that you are fine? Why are you injured? Are you seriously injured? Where is the wound?”
“It’s fine. It is fine. It is just a scratch on my face. There is nothing serious about it. It is just a small wound. There’s only a little blood.”
Seeing her pale face, Joe hurriedly explained, “I just accidentally bumped into a motorcycle. It was all because of my carelessness. It had nothing to do with the driver. It was just an accident, an accident.”
However, at this moment, Joe’s “accident” caused Emily’s face to turn paler and paler.
Joe also thought of something and immediately explained, “It’s my problem. The driver drove the motorcycle well. Terry wanted to rush over the road, so I did not notice the driver clearly.”
Emily did not know whether to believe it or not. She did not know if Joe was comforting her.
As looked at Terry, her voice trembled slightly, “Is that true?”
Were they sure that the motorcycle driver did not intentionally strike Joe?
Why was everything fine? After she received that text message, something happened to Joe.
Why was the coincidence so unnerving?
Although Terry did not know what she was worried about, he understood Joe’s intentions.
He could not make her become more nervous.
He nodded and said softly, “He didn’t lie to you. It was an accident.”
