Chapter 242 - 237
Emily Parker stared intently at the photo on her phone, her eyes hollow, unable to pull herself together from the heartbreaking image for quite a while.
Her breathing grew heavier, and it felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, pulling it down bit by bit.
On the other end of the phone, Nana Ross kept sending messages, the notification sound buzzing like a fly, but Emily could not hear a single word.
A sharp pang of bitterness surged into her throat, and the intense nausea made her instinctively cover her mouth, staggering towards the bathroom.
She threw herself in front of the toilet and vomited violently, spewing out all the expensive supplements she had eaten earlier in one fell swoop. Her stomach churned as though it was about to expel all her internal organs.
After vomiting, she weakly straightened her body, reached out and touched her face, feeling the coolness on it. She had expected tears to burst out, but strangely, not a single tear fell.
Emily pulled a bitter smile from the corner of her mouth, like self-mockery, or perhaps resignation, and muttered to the empty surroundings,
"Mom, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you."
She recalled her mother once saying that to be an ordinary person and live a happy life, yet now it seems this simple happiness is so far out of reach, as difficult as climbing to the sky...
At this moment, the entrance to Emperor’s Color Bar was already packed tightly, swarming with media reporters wielding cameras, flashes going off incessantly, creating a chaotic scene.
