Chapter 344 - 351: Red
"What do you think?" James Brown asked very calmly in return.
"If we think normally, you and Emily Jenkins are close, so close that you can casually stay at her place, and she eats at your place every day. You should have had that kind of thing happen between you, but, Emily Jenkins is a girl with no schemes, and you, even though a bit of a flirt, have strong principles on certain matters, so you probably wouldn’t have anything happen with her," said Gina Lopez as she spoke and looked at James Brown’s face. However, she couldn’t see any change in his expression, and after pausing, she added, "I asked you that because I felt like something accidental must have happened last night. Otherwise, Emily Jenkins wouldn’t have given you that kind of unusual look."
James Brown couldn’t help but admire Gina Lopez’s sharp observation, saying, "There was a little accident, but it was nothing much."
Seeing that James didn’t want to talk about it, Gina didn’t press further. She just wanted to confirm whether or not something had happened between him and Emily Jenkins. Now that she had her answer, the rest didn’t matter.
Although they had planned to return home for the weekend, an important matter came up at work, so James Brown and Gina Lopez didn’t go back to ASCS City. After handling everything, it was already Tuesday afternoon when they arrived home. As soon as they walked in, they felt that something was off about the atmosphere.
Their mother had been seriously ill, so the mood at home had been quite heavy, but today, when they came in, the house was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"Sis, it’s great news, great news," Emily Lopez came over and warmly linked arms with Gina Lopez.
Gina was inwardly annoyed with her sister’s insensitivity. What could be so good now to make her this happy? Had she forgotten about their mother’s illness? But she didn’t want to seem overly somber, since that would only add to their mother’s mental burden. She laughed and asked, "What’s the good news?"
"Haha... Today I took mom for a check-up again. Guess what the doctor said?" Emily Lopez winked at Gina.
Gina’s heart immediately began to beat wildly with excitement as she rushed to her mother’s side, grasping her smiling mother’s hand, asking urgently, "Was there a misdiagnosis last time?"
Mrs. Lopez said cheerfully, "Yes, it turned out to be pneumonia brought on by a cold. The cold has cleared up in the last couple of days, and the shadow is gone. These hospitals nowadays really do make careless diagnoses."
