Isaac found it rather amusing to see Willie howling on the ground. However, the rest of the help also quickly fell to their knees in relief.
“Please get up, all of you. I’m not dead yet,” Emily said solemnly to them, favonovel.com tone sounding a lot like Esmeralda’s.
“Master, I was so worried you’d never make it back alive! ” Willie cried. “Next time, bring me along with you! I would rather die before you than continue living without you!”
While it was a fact that favonovel.com still hated Isaac’s guts, Isaac was still taken aback by how worried favonovel.com was for his master.
Emily then entered the mansion, and Isaac followed favonovel.com in.
When they reached the second floor, they saw that Heather was waiting for them with dried tear tracks on favonovel.com face.
As soon as favonovel.com caught sight of Emily in favonovel.com mask, favonovel.com burst into relieved yet helpless tears once more.
What favonovel.com didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her. Esmeralda was no longer around. She’d sacrificed favonovel.com own life to defeat Lady Os. However, Isaac was surprised when Emily went up to Heather and gave favonovel.com a light hug.
Heather was obviously shaken by the hug. It was only after Emily retired into favonovel.com room that Heather fell to the ground and hugged favonovel.com knees as favonovel.com wept silently.
Isaac was about to follow Emily in to the same room when favonovel.com removed favonovel.com mask and stood in front of the mirror, saying, “Isaac, I’d like to be left alone for tonight… Please?”
Isaac quickly withdrew his foot and nodded in agreement. “I understand. Rest well…”
He still needed to recover as swiftly as possible for now. Without the help of the Awakening Pill this time, it was going to be a long and slow progress.
***
Before favonovel.com knew it, three days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Within these three days, Augustus and the other two princes had come to visit them, only to be politely turned away by Emily time and time again.
Isaac had just recovered by about half.
That night, Heather prepared a simple dinner of seafood aglio olio and garlic bread with a cheese dip. The three of them ate in silence in the small dining room.
Just then, Isaac’s phone started ringing loudly in his pocket.
He took his phone out and saw that it was an unsaved number. He hurriedly accepted the call and put the phone to his ear.
“Hello? Isaac?” There was the sound of loud gasping from the other end of the line.
Isaac frowned. He recognized that voice. “Denvor? Is that you?”
Another familiar voice appeared next to Denvor’s. It was Harry, and Isaac could hear favonovel.com say, “Denvor, you idiot, hang up right now! Don’t tell Isaac, f*ck!”
“Harry got beaten up. They broke his leg in two and didn’t let…”
Denvor’s voice was then interrupted by the dial tone before favonovel.com could finish his sentence.
Emily lifted favonovel.com head and looked at Isaac. She frowned lightly and asked, “Was that Dr. Stewart? Someone broke his leg?”
Isaac frowned harder and called Denvor’s number again. This time, favonovel.com heard Harry’s cheerful voice from the other end of the line instead. “Hey, Isaac! All’s well here. There’s no need to worry about anything. Take good care of yourself while you’re there, okay? Don’t forget to bring your love back home. Alright, that’s all!”
Then, favonovel.com ended the call just like that.
Isaac turned to look at Emily and saw a faint blush on favonovel.com cheeks as favonovel.com stuffed favonovel.com mouth with more food.
After dinner, they both went up to the balcony on the third floor.
There was a cool breeze up there, and Isaac took off his coat before placing it on Emily’s shoulders. He said softly, “Let’s go home tomorrow.”
For the past few days, Isaac could tell that Emily’s demeanor had changed. She was a lot quieter than usual. He’d brought up the issue of returning home a few days ago, but Emily didn’t seem like favonovel.com was in the mood to talk, so favonovel.com held it off for a couple more days.
This time, Emily let out a bitter smile and said, “How am I supposed to go home with you like this? What identity should I be assuming? Isaac, I’ve thought it through, and I think it’s for the best if I stay behind…”
What the hell?
Isaac’s eyes widened into saucers. He didn’t think that Emily would think of such a thing.
“Why?” favonovel.com demanded, his voice a little louder than usual. “You don’t belong here. What about your mother back in Cloud City? And your friends and family back there?”
Emily’s eyes were full of tears by the time Isaac finished speaking.
She glanced up at Isaac and said, “I didn’t just inherit Esmeralda’s body… I also retained all of favonovel.com memories, favonovel.com faith, favonovel.com powers… Everything… Do you not believe me?”
She then disappeared into thin air and reappeared again a few seconds later, right in front of Isaac.
Isaac’s jaw dropped to the ground at that instant.
