Overbearing CEO's Contract Love
Chapter 30: Special Methods

Chapter 30: Special Methods

Damien Sterling masked the turmoil in his eyes, regaining his usual serene demeanor, a stark contrast to the man who had passionately pursued Emma Hart in the bedroom just moments before.

Upon noticing Mrs. Harris entering, Damien promptly excused himself, leaving the room with an unreadable expression.

Having exhausted all methods, what else could he possibly do?

Mrs. Harris tenderly cleaned the choked porridge from Emma’s mouth, patting her back while tears welled in her eyes.

"Miss Emma, why do you choose such a path of suffering?" she asked, her voice a blend of frustration and deep concern.

Her words carried a tinge of anger and exasperation, yet they were overshadowed by her overwhelming sympathy and tenderness for Emma.

Unable to utter a word, Emma could only grasp Mrs. Harris’s arm, her touch conveying heartfelt thanks.

Mrs. Harris sighed deeply.

"So many girls would do anything for a moment of favor from a gentleman like him, even if they couldn’t win his heart. To be chosen by him, even briefly, is considered a blessing. Yet, you always choose to defy him, ending up in such a state."

After cleaning Emma up, Mrs. Harris helped her to another room.

Emma sipped water slowly, then leaned back against the pillows, staring blankly out the window.

She closed her eyes, overwhelmed by exhaustion, yearning for a moment of rest.

Her body, deprived of proper nourishment, grew weaker day by day.

Memories drew her back to a world where two innocent-looking boys and a girl existed.

Outside the dormitory, Ethan Turner appeared unexpectedly, holding Emma Hart’s favorite dessert, tiramisu.

"Ethan, what brings you here?" Emma exclaimed, surprised, motioning him to come in quickly to avoid being caught by the dormitory matron.

Ethan chuckled innocently, "I saw the matron wasn’t at the door, so I sneaked in."

Approaching the bed, he asked with concern, "Emma, is your stomach feeling any better now?"

Upon seeing Ethan Turner, Emma Hart’s stomach pain seemed to lessen, but playfully, she lay on his lap, feigning more discomfort, "It hurts more now that you’re here."

Ethan immediately showed concern, "Why would that be?"

Emma broke into a smile, eyeing the tiramisu Ethan had brought, and said mischievously, "Just kidding! The pain goes away with tiramisu."

"You little rascal," Ethan teased, affectionately flicking her nose, but then presented a bowl of porridge. "Before you have the tiramisu, you need to finish this porridge."

"I don’t want it. I want the tiramisu first," Emma pouted.

"Good girl, have the porridge first, or I’ll be upset."

"Alright, I’ll have it."

"Let me feed you," Ethan said, carefully blowing on the porridge before gently feeding it to Emma.

Watching Ethan tenderly care for her, Emma thought, "How much I wish to marry this man, to be pampered and loved by him for a lifetime."

A blissful expression spread across her face.

"Miss Emma, Miss Emma..." Mrs. Harris’s voice broke the silence.

Emma opened her eyes, her lips still curved in a beautiful smile, the joy lingering on her face.

But all these moments had been shattered by Damien Sterling, no longer a reality.

Relieved to see Emma’s eyes open, Mrs. Harris exclaimed, "Miss Emma, you scared me to death."

Another day passed with Emma Hart refusing to eat.

Downstairs, Damien Sterling was berating his personal doctor, "She can’t even have a nutritional injection? What am I supposed to do?"

"The heir of Sterling Group, I dare not neglect," the doctor replied, head bowed in submission.
