Chapter 10 Chapter 10

Looking at the wonderful changes on Snow's face, Emma's lips curved into a mocking smile.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be happy."

"How could that be?" Snow squeezed her fingers and forced a smile. "My sister has a good home. I'm happy for you."

She had a smile on her face, but in her heart, she was full of regret.

Judging from Emma's expression, she could tell that what she said was true. If Liam was truly unconscious, Emma, as a bride in the bridal sedan rush, would definitely not have the chance to walk out of the Scott's house.

Therefore, Liam really woke up.

Emma's status as the eldest young mistress of the Scott had been secured!

But this opportunity originally belonged to her!

Snow was so angry that she was about to vomit blood!

She even thought that even if Liam was disabled and in a coma, so what? As long as she became the First Young Madam of the Scott, she would have supreme power and could do anything she wanted!

However, the news that Liam didn't have much time was getting worse and worse. There was even a rumour that the next heir had already taken control of the company, which made Snow stop thinking about it.

If she married into the Scott, Liam would die and the power of the Scott would be weakened. Not only would she not be able to get anything, but she would also be implicated and become the new power holder of the Scott.

Therefore, she gave up.

Then, she lost this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

I hate you so much!

Snow almost couldn't maintain her calm on the surface. She forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, sister. Dad must be very happy to hear this news. I'm waiting for you to take Young Mr. Scott home for dinner."

Emma's eyes were bright, and she said with a big smile, "Okay."

Snow nodded and turned to leave. At the moment when her back was facing Emma, her face was full of ferocity.

"Sis..." Seeing that she was about to leave, Ray quickly chased after her. He didn't forget to point back at Emma and brag, "Just wait and see!"

Emma shrugged and didn't care at all.

However, when she saw the backs of the two men leaving, the smile on the corners of her mouth disappeared very quickly, and her eyes were full of coldness.

In the elevator.

Ray said unhappily, "Sis, why don't you let me teach that little bitch a good lesson?"

Snow gave him a cold look, and her eyes were full of fierceness and resentment. "Didn't you see the bodyguards of the Scott guarding her? Can you really hurt her?"

Ford Ray refused to back down and was about to speak when Snow interrupted him with a cold voice.

"The Scott married Emma for the wedding. If Liam doesn't feel well, the Scott will never let Emma go out, let alone send so many bodyguards to protect her."

"The only possibility is that Liam has woken up, or that he has been fine. It's obvious that Liam thinks more highly of Emma."

"If you really lay a finger on Emma, how will our Ford deal with Liam if he comes forward to collect debt for her?"

Her words scared Ray so much that his expression changed instantly.

After a long while, he said unwillingly, "So, Emma got a big bargain. This should be your chance."

Snow didn't say anything, but her nails were almost stuck in her palm.

"So what if she took advantage of me?" Snow said sinisterly, "I'd like to see if she can take such a blessing with her worthless life!"

"Sister, you mean..."

"Ding-"

The elevator reached the floor they were going to.

Snow instantly put away the gloom on her face and became gentle and dignified.

She said lightly, "Let's go to mom's place to check on her first."

After that, she walked out with a gentle smile, attracting many passers-by's attention and taking photos.

*

At the same time.

On the other side of the hospital.

After coaxing her grandmother to fall asleep, Emma found a nurse to remind her in detail. After everything was settled, she set off for the Scott.

Thinking of her grandmother's situation, Emma was a little anxious.

After returning to the Scott, she went straight to the third floor and walked fast.

Housekeeper Taylor, who was in the hall, frowned when he saw her in such a hurry. His eyes were full of disdain. "A country bumpkin doesn't know the rules and doesn't have any manners! How can he be worthy of our Eldest Young Master?"

Behind Housekeeper Taylor, a beautiful woman in plain clothes but obviously carefully dressed walked out. She was none other than the daughter of Housekeeper Taylor, Lily.

She stared at Emma's back with a hint of jealousy and hatred in her eyes. "Mom, Young Master has woken up. This woman is useless. Why don't we find a way to drive her out of the Scott and make her the Eldest Young Madam? I'll wait for an opportunity to get the position. What do you think?"

"Okay!" Housekeeper Taylor answered, with a hint of cruelty in his tone. "You can do it when the time is right. Don't let mom down!"

"Don't worry." Lily sneered. "I won't let you down."

......

Emma knew nothing about the farce behind her.

She went up to the third floor and went straight to the study in the room. Sure enough, she found Liam, who was dealing with the company's affairs.

Seeing that she was out of breath, Liam frowned and said, "Why are you panicking? Run for your life?"

Emma couldn't be bothered with his venomous tongue. Instead, she walked up to him and stood in front of him. She said seriously, "Liam, what exactly do you want to do for you to be willing to cooperate with me?"

Liam's fingers, which were typing on the keyboard, paused as he looked up at her.

He didn't understand why Emma wanted to talk about cooperation again. After all, nothing serious had happened in the hospital just now.

Although he had released Emma, he had been monitoring her movements throughout the entire process. He knew her like the back of his hand.

According to her grandmother's words, Liam had already determined that Emma belonged to the Ancient Physician's branch.

However, this did not mean that Liam could trust her.

After all, there was more than one ancient doctor in the world. Emma's appearance was too coincidental, so he could not judge whether she was a spy or not.

It was only temporary for him to keep her. When he didn't need her, Emma wouldn't be able to stand in front of him again.

Liam didn't answer, but Emma couldn't help it.

"Okay! If you don't want to cooperate, then it's my personal request. I hope you can help me take my grandma to a private hospital owned by your family for the sake of waking you up from the poison last night, and help her find the kidney source."

Liam squinted at her and did not answer.

The anxiety in the woman's eyes did not seem to be a disguise.

"Are you still unwilling?" Emma was anxious. "Liam, you can't be heartless! I helped you last night. If it weren't for me, your poison would have been more serious, and you might have been sent to the emergency room for rescue! Can you help me? I can agree to all your requests!"

Emma's voice became smaller and smaller, and there was even a hint of pleading in it.

Liam was sure to look at her. When Emma was about to despair, he finally said, "I can promise you."

Emma's eyes lit up. "Really?!"

"But..." Liam looked at her bright eyes and slightly curled his lips. "You have to tell me first, how are you going to help me detoxify?"

Emma curled her lips.

As expected, the man was still testing her.

However, it wasn't a big deal. She didn't have any ill intentions and could stand the probing.

Moreover, since Liam had asked this question, it proved that he had begun to waver.

She believed that the day of their cooperation was not far away.

Besides, she had begun to take advantage of her power to bully others. With the power of the Scott, it was perfect to bully people from the Ford.

"You've been poisoned for about three months, and you've been poisoned with an ancient toxin. The toxicity is violent and complicated. It's rare in the world. Ordinary methods can't cure it at all."

Emma spoke in a steady tone.

"You must have tried a lot of drugs before, including traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. They are very similar to the poison in your body, so you are unconscious."

"To remove the poison from your body, you can only rely on the Marrow-Cleansing Needle Method to wash the poison from your body over and over again, and finally remove it completely."

"Only I can do this, and I can't guarantee that I can succeed, because the marrow-washing cloth needle will bring intense pain, just like cutting bones with thin skin. The person who takes the needles needs top-level medical skills, and the person who takes the needles must have strong willpower, so that he can survive the marrow-washing this time."

"I put the needles on you once last night. This is just the foundation, to let you temporarily sober up. If I hadn't done the first marrow washing for you in three days, you would have fallen into a coma again, and the situation would have been very dangerous."

Emma stared into his eyes and said seriously, "Liam, do you dare to ask me to apply the needles for you?"

Her probing did not cause any change in Liam's mood.

Liam glanced at her indifferently, his eyes calm and cold.

"I have no interest in any of your little thoughts. You just need to remember one thing."

"If I die, your grandfather and grandson will die with me. Only if I live can your grandfather and grandson have a chance to live. Do you understand?"

His eyes were deep and dark, emitting a cold aura, which made people scared.

Emma had goosebumps all over her body.

While cursing the pervert in her heart, she snorted and said, "I know. Why are you threatening me?"

As she spoke, she added, "But don't panic. Just trust me. My Lucky almost died. I put two needles on him, and he immediately jumped up and down."

"Lucky?" Liam's eyebrows twitched. "Why does this name sound like a dog?"

"Yes, Lucky. My dog has a good relationship with me."

The corner of Liam's mouth twitched, and his face was cold. "You want to compete me with a dog?"

With a straight face, he couldn't stop his momentum. A chill spread in the study room in an instant.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop!" Emma immediately raised her hand and surrendered. She smiled apologetically and said, "It's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding."

"Get lost."

Emma returned to her room and sat on the sofa, complaining to herself.

Be careful of the dog-like man. Tsk, tsk.

She had wanted to borrow a computer from Liam, but judging from the current situation, she was afraid that the man would not be willing to give up.

He had a headache.

It seemed that she had to find a way to buy her own computer.

Otherwise, many things would be difficult to deal with.

As Liam rubbed his chin, the door of the room was pushed open.

A woman in a maid's costume came in with a bowl of soup. She didn't even knock on the door.

Emma raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a little interest in her eyes.

Because she found that the maid seemed to ignore her and went straight to Liam in the study, with a lovely look on her face.

Tsk tsk, who was this person? Was there a good show to watch?

Taking advantage of the situation, Emma got up and quietly walked to the door. She poked her head out and began to observe.

The maid diligently put the soup bowl on the desk and said shyly, "Big Master, you've worked hard. Have some soup. The old lady said that you can't eat nutritious soup now, so I specially made some light nourishing soup for you. Would you like to have a try?"

Looking at the maid's bashful expression, Emma rolled her eyes silently.

Tsk, I want to throw up.

There was obvious impatience and disgust in Liam's eyes.

He was about to turn her down when he caught sight of Emma, who was sneaking glances at him at the door.

A stream of light flashed across Liam's eyes, and he said lightly, "Send it to First Young Madam."

"Eldest Young Master..." Lily was stunned, and a look of resentment appeared in her eyes.

She had carefully prepared this soup. How could that country bumpkin Emma deserve it?

Lily lowered her posture, and the maid's dress outlined her graceful figure.

"Eldest Young Master, I specially made this soup for you. It's sweet, light, and very suitable for your taste. It can also nourish your body very well. You've been in a coma for so long, so you should eat a little more or less. Otherwise, how can your body bear it? Eldest Young Madam is from the countryside. She doesn't know medical skills, and she likes to show off. She even asked you not to take the tonic soup. Isn't it harmful to you? In my opinion, you should..."

She was still talking non-stop.

Standing outside the door, Emma couldn't stand it anymore.

"How can this woman be so arrogant? Is she going to do it again and again?"

She, Emma, would never tolerate such a woman!

With that thought in mind, Emma pushed the door open, and two pairs of eyes looked at her at the same time.
