00:10 Inside a quiet hospital room, Charlotte awoke to the sharp smell of disinfectant.
00:15 After opening her eyes, she stared blankly at the ceiling.
00:20 Lucas guarded her bedside.
00:22 Upon seeing her wake, he quickly asked, "Are you better?
00:27 Do you still feel dizzy?"
00:29 "How's H-World?" she asked with a raspy voice.
00:34 He thought for a moment before answering her honestly.
00:38 "It's been severely affected.
00:41 Even the police have been alerted, but I've already told the legal team to cooperate with
00:46 them.
00:47 As for murder and kidnapping, the police can't find any evidence, so it shouldn't be an issue.
00:54 However, a lot of our collaborations have been cancelled, including advertisements and
01:00 endorsements.
01:01 Apart from Emma, even Hillary has received a cold reception."
01:06 After hearing this, she flipped over, turning her back to him as she closed her eyes and
01:12 burst into tears.
01:14 "H-World is destroyed.
01:17 It's been destroyed by my own hands."
01:22 He didn't know how to comfort her.
01:25 All he could do was sit quietly by her side as she cried.
01:30 After a fair bit of time had passed, he finally asked, "Right now, there are reporters everywhere.
01:37 The doctors asked how you're feeling and whether you'd like to go home to rest."
01:41 "Right now, is there any difference where I go?" she retorted.
01:47 He couldn't stand her defeated attitude, so he stood and grabbed her shirt.
01:53 "All these years, you've been through so much.
01:57 Can't you handle a little setback?
01:59 H-World Entertainment hasn't closed down yet.
02:03 You still have plenty of people and resources that you can use to solve our issues."
02:09 "Is there any point of hiding like this?"
02:12 "Don't forget.
02:14 Emma's contract is still with H-World.
02:17 Her popularity is still H-World's legacy."
02:20 "That's right," she suddenly sneered and sat up as she pulled away from his grip.
02:27 "Emma is still under our control.
02:31 She shouldn't consider going anywhere.
02:33 I'll tie her down with this contract."
02:35 Seeing her recover her fighting spirit, he slowly felt relief.
02:42 He grabbed his phone and stepped out of the hospital room to return a call to his assistant.
02:47 "What's wrong?"
02:49 "Sir, a young girl has shown up at the agency and insists on seeing Emma.
02:55 She keeps screaming that a life is on the line.
02:58 She doesn't seem to be just a fan."
03:02 Because Emma belonged to H-World, the young girl went directly to there.
03:07 However, she had no idea her decision would cause Emma's destruction.
03:12 "Did you ask her what's wrong?"
03:15 "She doesn't want to tell us," the assistant replied.
03:18 "But from the looks of it, it's really urgent.
03:22 She refuses to leave the lobby."
03:24 "Let me handle it when I get back."
03:27 He hung up the phone before returning to the room.
03:31 Charlotte had already changed her clothes.
03:33 "I'm going back to the agency."
03:36 She grabbed her belongings and they returned to H-World under the protection of security.
03:42 As they entered the lobby, Lucas's assistant was standing at the entrance.
03:47 As soon as he spotted Lucas, he immediately approached and pointed to the girl pacing
03:53 back and forth.
03:55 "That's her."
03:57 Lucas nodded.
03:58 After escorting Charlotte to her office, he returned to question the girl.
04:03 "Miss, I've heard you're urgently looking for Emma.
04:07 What's the matter?"
04:09 The long-haired girl quickly stood up and replied, "I'm looking for her to save a life."
04:15 "Save a life?
04:18 Can you give me her contact details?" she asked sincerely.
04:21 "I hope you can help me."
04:25 He remained silent for a few seconds before replying, "Sorry, I'm the agency's director
04:31 and Emma's our model.
04:33 For Emma's safety, I can't reveal her private information.
04:38 However, you can tell me everything and I'll pass the message on to Emma.
04:44 As for whether she'll get in touch with you, that's her decision."
04:49 The girl was a little distressed, but she understood his restrictions.
04:55 So she told him everything.
04:57 "Emma promised to save someone, but I can't tell you who it is.
05:03 This person is currently in a critical state.
05:06 That's why I've come to H-World.
05:08 I already tried to contact her through the radio and multiple other avenues, but she's
05:14 too famous these days.
05:17 Contacting her isn't easy.
05:19 I hope you can tell her, no matter what the Davis family has done to her, this person
05:25 is innocent, since she promised to save her.
05:28 She shouldn't go back on her words."
05:31 "What sickness are we talking about?
05:34 Why isn't the hospital helping?" he asked.
05:37 "If the hospital could help, I wouldn't be looking for Emma.
05:41 I really hope you can relay my message.
05:45 Thank you."
05:46 After speaking, the girl wrote down her contact details and handed them to him before shaking
05:52 his hand.
05:53 She then left the lobby.
05:56 He looked at the phone number in his hands and, without a word, crumpled up the note
06:01 and threw it straight into the trash.
06:04 "Davis family," he wondered.
06:08 Returning to his office, he immediately instructed his assistant to investigate Nathan, who turned
06:14 out to have a younger sister.
06:17 More importantly, a sister with a serious illness.
06:21 After seeing the information from his assistant, he leaned back in his chair, filled with satisfaction
06:28 from his good luck.
06:29 "Emma," he mused.
06:32 "Let's see who the last one standing really is."
06:36 Of course, he had no intention of passing the girl's plea to Emma.
06:42 In London, Emma was doing a street fashion photoshoot.
06:46 As the model who appeared in J.K.'s finale, she skyrocketed in popularity within a short
06:53 period and received an unimaginable number of offers.
06:58 Eric lounged on the side of the road, dressed in a trench coat.
07:02 He had simply followed the photography team and secretly watched over his wife.
07:09 After finishing the shoot, she looked for him, only to find that he had disappeared.
07:15 She retrieved her phone from Lisa to message him.
07:18 "Where did you go?"
07:20 "Am I not allowed to go to the bathroom?"
07:24 He laughed at his own joke.
07:26 She smiled as she teased him back.
07:29 "Don't run around wildly, or else I might decide to go home alone."
07:34 Despite both being in London, Luke was extremely busy while Eric relaxed.
07:40 As his boss strolled the streets, Luke attended video conferences on his behalf in the hotel,
07:47 noting down the important information for him.
07:50 "I'm going to have a migraine too if Emma continues like this," Luke griped to himself.
07:58 As for the reporter from Her Vision, he had lost track of Emma over the last couple of
08:03 days.
08:04 After careful investigation, he finally got a hold of her latest schedule and was rushing
08:10 to the scene of her shoot.
08:12 "Her schedule's so secretive, she couldn't possibly just be working," he thought.
08:19 On top of that, with his persistent clinging, she'd still managed to shake him off and return
08:25 to New York, proving how cautious she was.
08:29 However, the more cautious she was, the more curious he felt.
08:35 He refused to believe that she would forever remain this alert.
08:40 "I'm certain," the reporter insisted.
08:43 "The man who dropped her off at the airport in Mexico will make another appearance."
08:48 In order to find out about Margot's exact condition, Lucas instructed someone to retrieve
09:09 the note that had been scrunched up and thrown in the bin.
09:12 He then secretly found the girl's address.
09:15 She hadn't expected Lucas to show up at her house.
09:19 Assuming he had a message from Emma, she quickly and cheerily led him into the house.
09:26 "Are you here to tell me that Margot will be saved?"
09:30 Lucas looked at the naive expression on her face and slowly curved his lips upward.
09:35 "Can you tell me Margot's current condition?"
09:39 The girl thought for a moment before sitting down on the sofa next to him.
09:44 She hesitantly started to explain the situation.
09:47 "I met her in high school, and we later went to study abroad together.
09:52 Unfortunately, her kidneys weren't working well, and we had no luck looking for a compatible
09:57 donor.
09:58 Eventually, her illness worsened, so we decided to return to America.
10:04 At the time, Nathan brought Emma along to do a compatibility test.
10:09 After all the failed compatibility tests in the past, she was the only one who was completely
10:16 compatible."
10:17 The girl lowered her head and sighed.
10:20 "Afterwards, we found out about the incident with Global Pictures.
10:24 Margot knew her brother was in the wrong, so she didn't bring up Emma's promise again.
10:30 She knew the Davis family owed her too much.
10:33 Because of this, she had a huge argument with the rest of her family.
10:38 Right now, she's all alone in the hospital.
10:41 Actually, I wanted to look for Emma a long time ago, but Margot kept stopping me.
10:48 And her condition has just continued to get worse.
10:51 I'm seriously afraid she won't be able to make it.
10:55 I had no choice but to look for Emma.
10:59 She belongs to your agency, right?
11:01 That's why I came looking for you."
11:04 The girl was an outsider to the industry and had no idea how dark and dirty it was.
11:10 She had simply found out Emma belonged to H-World, but had no idea how bad the model's
11:17 relationship with the company was.
11:19 "I've tolerated it for long enough.
11:22 Since Emma made a promise, she should follow through.
11:25 Even the doctor has said that a person can continue normal bodily functions with just
11:31 one kidney."
11:33 After listening to the girl's explanation, Lucas weighed up the situation in his mind,
11:39 before asking, "Is she in a serious condition?
11:43 Her kidneys are failing and dialysis has not been enough to alleviate her pain."
11:49 The girl replied, her voice choking.
11:52 Lucas nodded, "I've already contacted Emma.
11:55 However, she doesn't seem to recall anything about this matter and hasn't given me a proper
12:01 answer.
12:02 Also, she's currently in London and I have no way of speaking with her in person."
12:09 The girl's face turned pale as she bit her lip.
12:12 In the end, she nodded her head.
12:14 "No matter what happens, thank you anyway."
12:17 "You're welcome."
12:20 He stood up to leave.
12:22 As he walked away, he heard the girl mumble a few words behind him.
12:27 He informed her, "People from the entertainment industry really can't be trusted, and Emma
12:33 is no different.
12:34 I feel bad that Margo was actually concerned about her."
12:38 The girl had no idea that Lucas had never contacted Emma.
12:44 This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.
12:48 Keeping secrets and deliberately provoking both sides of an issue was his usual method
12:53 of dealing with things.
12:55 It didn't matter to him, even if someone's life was involved.
13:00 It was nighttime in London.
13:02 Emma was preparing dinner for Eric in the manor they were staying in.
13:07 To help relieve his tiredness, Emma limited her husband to just two hours of work per
13:12 day.
13:13 The remainder of his time was spent on accompanying her at work and releasing stress.
13:19 He leaned against the kitchen doorway with his arms crossed as he watched Emma busily
13:24 cooking.
13:25 He smiled.
13:26 "This is how it feels to be looked after by someone.
13:31 It turns out that Emma has such a powerful side to her," he thought.
13:37 Eric had always prevented her from entering the kitchen and was especially afraid of her
13:42 holding knives.
13:44 Therefore, everything they bought in London was pre-prepared.
13:48 After quickly putting the ingredients together, dinner was ready.
13:53 After eating, the couple sat on the sofa, leaning against each other as they watched
13:58 a movie.
13:59 Emma had always been the one to lie in Eric's arms.
14:03 However, he was the one lying on her thigh at that moment, using it as a pillow.
14:09 Once they felt tired, they headed for bed and lay facing each other.
14:14 Emma reached out her hand to stroke his face and spoke with a soft voice.
14:19 "Did you know you really scared me?"
14:22 "Uh-huh," he gently nodded his head.
14:26 She hadn't been simply scared.
14:28 She was frightened to the point of tears.
14:31 "What will you do from now on?
14:34 Will you hide all by yourself and endure the pain?"
14:39 Eric looked into her eyes as he finally wrapped his arm around her neck and pulled her into
14:44 his embrace, placing her head on his chest.
14:47 "I'm so glad to have you."
14:51 "What else could I wish for in this life?" he thought.
14:55 "I already have a person who constantly has me in her heart."
15:00 Emma lay on top of his body and buried her face in his chest.
15:04 She reached out her arms to wrap around his waist.
15:08 "Eric, please don't get sick."
15:10 "Uh-huh."
15:13 At that moment, he felt like a king who had been domesticated.
15:17 To the outside world, he was fierce and powerful.
15:21 But in front of Emma, he was allowed to show his weakness and be the one who was treasured
15:27 and loved.
15:29 It turned out that the relationship between a man and woman could also be like this.
15:35 Whether they were the one to love or be loved, they were equally happy.
15:40 "After my work is done tomorrow, we'll return to New York."
15:45 Eric shook his head.
15:46 "In terms of our lifestyle, I can listen to you.
15:50 However, when it comes to work, you must listen to me.
15:55 Now that you've worked for JK, I've sent a huge offer to your email.
15:59 You're currently in a place where you can progress.
16:03 If you miss this opportunity or reject it, then your work with JK will all go to waste."
16:09 "But I only had a migraine.
16:13 It's not like it's a constant pain."
16:17 Emma remained silent as she weighed up the pros and cons.
16:21 She knew as well as Eric that if she were to miss out on this international offer, she
16:26 wouldn't know how long it would take before an opportunity like this came around again.
16:32 "In that case, you should rest for another two days.
16:37 As I said before, when it comes to our lifestyle, I'll listen to you."
16:42 Eric didn't argue as he whispered in her ear.
16:45 "I'll take care of what happens outside our home while you take care of the inside."
16:52 She smiled as she found a comfortable spot in his arms and fell asleep.
16:57 After an entire day of work, she was exhausted.
17:01 She was only one step away from becoming an international supermodel.
17:06 She really hoped that everything would run smoothly.
17:09 However, she was unaware that Lucas had already planted a ticking time bomb.
17:16 Compared to the warm and comforting atmosphere in the bedroom, the study felt quite miserable
17:22 to Luke and Lisa.
17:24 One of them had to deal with the matters at Kaleidoscope, while the other had to look
17:29 through Emma's contracts.
17:31 However, while Luke was working hard, Lisa couldn't help but smile as she peeked at him
17:37 from behind.
17:38 "I'm so proud of you, you're a great person.
17:39 I'm so proud of you."
17:40 "I'm so proud of you."
17:41 "I'm so proud of you."
17:41 "I'm so proud of you."
