Chapter 392 Either a Dowry or an Apology
The doctor came in and turned to Emelia after a quick examination, "Perhaps he is a little too excited
when he met you. He needs some rest."
"Okay," Emelia said, and the doctor left.
Emelia looked at Julian on the bed and said, "Have some rest."
Julian grabbed her hand and said, "Not until you sleep by my side."
Emelia looked helplessly at his hand.
He had been holding up her hands or hugging her since she stepped into the ward.
"How old are you? Three?” Emelia refused, "I still have some things to deal with."
It was all kind of mixed up in Emelia's mind, and she needed some space now.
"Are you still thinking about the divorce?" Julian tightened his grip on her soft hand and warned,
"Anyway, we're not divorced. You're my wife! So, don't you ever try to divorce me again?"
Emelia couldn't deal with his stubbornness and said, "Julian, even if you don't trust them, can the seal
on the divorce paper deceive you?"
Julian snorted. "Why not? Money talks. You guys could bribe the agent to get me the divorce paper." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Emelia felt that they were not on the same paper and couldn't convince him.
At her wit's end, she said, "You should have some rest."
She compromised to sit on the chair by the bed, holding Julian's hand and watching him fall asleep.
Emelia could feel his warmth through his big palm, and Julian looked nervous and insecure. Where
was the arrogant CEO? Where was the heartless husband?
If we could turn the clock back, what would happen if he used to be this passionate about their
marriage?
However, Emelia should have explained his health issue to him at first to scare him off.
He would be likely to care about this three years ago.
After Julian fell asleep, Emelia pulled out her hand and left the ward.
She first went to Arthur's office. When she entered, Nina was chatting with Arthur.
Nina sat on the sofa and teased Arthur, "Doctor Hudgens, are you seeing someone? I think you're too
old to start a family. I have some brilliant friends. Do you want me to introduce you?"
"I think I'll just pass. Thank you." Arthur heard the mocking in Nina's words, and Jean was close to Nina
and Emelia.
Grandpa Hughes echoed, "I think that's a great idea."
Arthur respected Grandpa Hughes, so he could only glare at Nina, "Miss Sanchez, please mind your
own business."
Emelia went in and interrupted their conversation.
When Grandpa Hughes saw Emelia, he hurriedly asked, "How is Julian?"
"He just fell asleep," Emelia replied.
Grandpa Hughes sighed and said, "That's good."
"Grandpa, what do you plan to do now?" Emelia sat down on the sofa and asked him dispiritedly.
Julian would never admit that they were divorced. Would they live together again in the name of
husband and wife?
Grandpa Hughes shook his head and said, "I'm totally at a loss."
"I've tried my best. I even told him about Caroline's death, but he insisted that he didn't care about
other things."
"How about... we talk to him after a few days?" In the end, Grandpa Hughes said to Emelia tentatively.
That was not what Emelia wanted. If things ended up like this, then what was the point of the divorce
with Julian? Didn't the terrible words she said to Julian mean nothing?
Grandpa Hughes started to wipe his tears. "Oh, why should I have to go through this? I've been
worrying about my stupid son for my entire life. After many years, Julian had grown up to support our
family's business, but why does he end up like this?"
Emelia's heart softened when Grandpa Hughes was sadfishing.
"I don't think my dad will agree." Vincent would protect Emelia from getting hurt.
But on the contrary, Julian was nice to her. Emelia was just in an awkward position.
Leaning on her cane, Grandpa Hughes stood up and said, "I'll talk to your dad. This time, I'll do
anything to help Julian."
"Call your dad. I'll talk to him." Grandpa Hughes instructed Emelia.
Emelia went out to call Vincent and told him about Julian's situation. Then, she gave the phone to
Grandpa Hughes and let them talk alone.
There was no room for discussion. "Mr. Hughes, Emelia won't stay there and let Julian treat her like a
doormat!"
Grandpa Hughes explained calmly, "Did Emelia tell you about Julian? Julian was nice to her. I can
promise you that Julian will cherish her."
"That won't do." Vincent refused straightforwardly.
Grandpa Hughes paused for a moment, then tried his best to persuade him, "But if they could get back
together, aren't you happy for them?"
"Can't you see that your daughter still loves Julian?"
Before Vincent said anything, Grandpa Hughes said slowly and clearly, “She loves Julian very much."
She pushed him away for his own good.
Grandpa Hughes was getting old, but his mind didn't. He knew Emilia loved Julian more than anyone
else.
Vincent wavered a little. After a while, he asked, "What if it doesn't work?"
Grandpa Hughes said imposingly, "You can take half of the Hughes Group, deal?"
Vincent was shocked. The Longerich family didn't lack money, but he could see how sincere Grandpa
Hughes was.
Grandpa Hughes promised, "If it works, you can also take that half as a dowry. If it doesn't work, take it
as an apology!"
To put it simply, half of the Hughes Group belonged to Emelia sooner or later.
