Chapter 27: Chapter 27: The Ends of the Earth

Edward Stephens’ people acted quickly; half an hour later, they located Emily Ginger, who had taken sleeping pills, in a rental apartment.

Emily Ginger was swiftly sent to the hospital for a stomach pump.

When Daisy Ginger arrived at the hospital in Edward Stephens’ car, she discovered that Lady Stephens was already there.

Abigail Perry’s eyes were red, her voice choked as she sobbed, being comforted by Lady Stephens.

"Edward!"

Seeing Daisy and Edward arrive, Abigail Perry quickly ran over and grabbed Edward’s hand; her eyes red, she looked at him as if clutching onto a lifeline and anxiously asked, "How is Emily now? Is she okay? If something really happens to her, I can’t go on living..."

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but burst into tears again, looking completely broken.

Lady Stephens watched from the side, seemingly empathetic as well, wiping tears with reddened eyes.

Edward Stephens withdrew his hand from Abigail Perry’s grasp, glanced at the operating room, and said with a stern face, "I just arrived too, the specifics aren’t clear yet, we have to wait for the surgery results."

Not getting a definite answer from Edward, Abigail Perry’s emotions visibly became unstable again, her tearful eyes looked toward the operating room, filled with both hope and despair.

The intertwining of these emotions made her appear somewhat neurotic.

Lady Stephens, with red eyes, pulled her to the side, where the two women sat together, holding hands, seemingly comforting each other.

Daisy Ginger leaned against a wall and took out a lighter from her bag.

Just as she was about to light a cigarette, Edward Stephens turned his head and, noticing her actions, frowned and said, "Smoking is prohibited outside the operating room hallway."

Daisy Ginger shrugged, "It’s so boring here, what should I do when I have a craving?"

Edward Stephens looked at her indifferent expression for a while before slowly turning his gaze away, speaking with a cold and heavy voice, "You can go outside,"

Daisy Ginger chuckled, "Smoking alone is so dull."

"Go home."

"Will you take me?"

Edward Stephens finally turned around slowly, he approached Daisy Ginger. On his aristocratic, cold face, there was a shadowy chill that engulfed his particularly icy eyes.

He said, "Daisy, your sister’s life is in danger inside the operating room right now."

His words were delivered particularly gravely, like a warning.

"And then?" Daisy Ginger slightly raised her chin with a hint of a provocative smile, "Does it have anything to do with me?"

Edward Stephens raised his hand, grabbing her thin shoulders and pulling her closer. After staring at her for a long while, he withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, not turning back, and walked away from her side.

Daisy Ginger continued leaning against her spot, tossing the crimson-colored lighter up and down, her gaze fixed on the man’s tall, straight back not far away.

She held a faint smile at the corner of her lips, yet her dark pupils only contained a frozen gleam.

She was merely a bit curious; if the one in the operating room right now were her, out of the three present, who would actually rush over to see her.

Emily Ginger’s stomach pumping took more than three hours, and Daisy Ginger didn’t stay for the whole process; she went downstairs to have dinner.

After eating her fill, she returned to find Emily Ginger had already come out of the operating room, transferred to a ward.

Outside the ward, Edward Stephens leaned against the wall, his tall figure sharp and upright, immersed in shadow, smoking. When he saw her return, he lifted his gaze to look at her.

Daisy Ginger stood in place, smiling at him, her smile unchanged.

One appeared aloof and detached, the other, smiled like a flower, captivating and charming.

At this moment, though only two meters apart, they seemed worlds away.
