Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 697

Emelie stood in the hallway, leaning against the wall as she waited. It wasn't long before William emerged.

Emelie remained where she was. "Will you need surgery?"

William replied gently, "No, just an IV drip will suffice."

Emelie nodded. "I've accompanied you to the hospital, and you've had your examination. Your illness is being treated. Now, can you tell me what I want to know?"

William took a few steps towards her until he was right in front of her.

He wore a black puffer jacket that reached his calves, with a black fur-lined collar that made his pale skin and thin jawline even more pronounced. He looked like one of those dashing vampires from an animated series.

"Before we proceed, can I ask you a question?" he asked.

"No." Emelie's expression grew even colder. "William, when will you stop going back on your words?"

William said, "I never said that I wouldn't tell you."

Emelie snapped, "Then say what you need to say, and stop wasting time!"

William traced her features with his gaze.

She used to be someone who rarely lost her temper. She was always the most reserved and humble Ms. Hoven. Of course, it wasn't to say that she was currently someone who got upset easily.

The reason she had snapped earlier at the stranger was because the doctor had presumptuously guessed their relationship. It was also because she didn't want to be at the hospital with him, but had endured it because she cared about the truth.

William began speaking again, but the information was still not what Emelie was waiting to hear.

He said, "I also know about the time when prohibited drugs suddenly appeared in the shipment when you completed the SAM acquisition and became the director of the leather goods at the Filo Group.

"It led to your detention and investigation by the Baliz police for three days and nights. I know who plotted that."

"Then if I tell you that someone is secretly planning to kill Wesley, how much are you willing to pay for this information?" he said.

Emelie looked at him, her brow relaxing as she laughed. "Oh? So, what will it take? What do you want in exchange?"

William' pressed his dry lips together.

Emelie finally moved closer, her voice slow. "Do you want me to stay with you in the hospital until you recover, or do you want me to lie down naked in bed waiting for you? Hmm?"

William's face seemed to turn even paler. Emelie's toes nearly touched his as they stood close together.

"What? Are these demands too much for you to voice? They shouldn't be. Didn't you make similar demands before?" she said.

Emelie suddenly sneered, grabbing his collar and pulling him close.

In a whisper only they could hear, she said, "William, you've changed, and so have I. I won't obediently follow your orders. Instead, I'll find a way to capture you discreetly, put you in a basement, and torture you until you confess the truth."
