Emma, upon further reflection, realized that while she could watch movies at any time, music concerts were not a daily occurrence. “Luc, if you have something to do, you should go ahead is there a day when you can’t watch movies? You can always catch them next time. 

Luc’s thoughts aligned with hers. The music concert that Soraya was attending was based on the school schedule, not a daily event. “In that case, I’ll take my leave now!s 

Catherine enthusiastically escorted him to the door, “Luc, be careful and drive safely. Don’t rush. Make sure to visit us often 

Sam also approached the door but merely nodded gently. 

Only Emms seemed unaffected, sipping her milk and scrolling through her phone without any expectation of interaction. 

From a distance, Luc glanced back at Emma. Seeing she had no intention to converse, let alone get up to bid him goodbye, he clenched his teeth in frustration and descended the stairs, feeling slighed 

‘Emma, Luc is leaving, and you don’t even go to see him off! What are you sitting there like a log fer? You’re going to drive me crazy!” exclaimed Catherine 3 Emma shrugged off the comment indifferently “Mom, if Lue wants to leave, then let him leave. Do I need to send him off with fireworks or something?“3 

“Hahaha…” Mr. Johnson couldn’t help but laugh. It was good to have his sharp–tongued daughter back 

No one was happier than Mr. Johnson. Things should have been this way earlier 

“What are you laughing at? Mrs. Johann glared at him, and he returned her look as if she were being ridiculous 

“Catherine, next time I’ll buy you some walnuts to eat.” 

Cathenne showed him playfully and scolded, “Eat what? is that all you know? You don’t care about our daughter’s affairs at 

“You need something to stimulate your brain! Otherwise, you won’t even realize how foolish you are 

“You’re not womed about your daughter, she’s bound to regret it one day!“‘” 

Mr. Johnson ignored her and started packing up, preparing to go to his tailor shop. A few customers were supposed to pick up their clothes today, so he needed to get there early. 

“Dad, free today. I go to the shop with you“? 

“That would be nice, I have something to discuss with your 

Mrs. Johnson felt left out and looked displeased, “Aren’t you supposed to be going West? Have you packed your things yet? 

“Oh, I almost forgot” Emma replied. “Mom, don’t worry I go to Dad’s shop, then stroll around the neighborhood it should have what I need.” 

The neighborhood was where Mr. Johnson’s tailor shop was located. Although it wasn’t the most prosperous area, there were quite a few people around and many shops “Do on the have to head to the community dance class. 

Mrs. Johnson loved joining the elderly dance with neighbors on weekends. Usually, she assisted in the tailor shop. The couple managed a tailor shop of less than 400 square feet, relying on loyal customers to sustain their business. Although the income was not high, they could still save a bit after maintaining basic living standards. 

Emma and her father an enthusiastically: 

anved at the tailor shop. The owner of the shop next door, Mc. Anderson, was also opening his store. “Good morning Mr. 

Anderson!” Emma greeted 

The owner, Peter Anderson, smiled and said, “Emma, long time no see!” 

They had watched this site girl grow up from a tiny child to a lovely young lady. Everyone in the neighborhood praised her for being elegant, gentle, respectful to elders, and 

“Mr. Anderson, it has been a while. How is Aunt Lucia’s health?” She seldom visited since she mamed Luc. Every visit to the neighborhood felt like a lifetime ago.I As Peter moved goods, he said, “She’s in good health. We tried the remedy you suggested last time, and her back pain has improved a lot. She’s not been in pain “That’s good. Just remember to take a little walk after meals, don’t sit for extended periods, and get some appropriate exercise, and the symptoms will gradually alleviate. “Yes, she does love to sit around and play Scrabble with others. Luckily, you’re studying medicine; come to look for Stacy Anderson next time. She hasn’t returned from out of town yet she said she’d like to treat you to a meal to thank your 

“There’s no need to be so polite, Mr. Anderson. Stacy is busy with important things, so we’ll have more opportunities to hang out later must leave for now “Alright.” Peter was also budy arranging merchandise in his shoe store. 

Emma Johnson helped her father tidy the tailoring table and swept around the store. “Dad, let me help 

Father Johnson replied, “Let me do these rough tasks. Don’t you have to buy some items? You’re going to the West in a few days; buy what you want With that, he took out an old wom wallet from his pocket, pulled out some cash, and stuffed it into her hand. “If it’s not enough, ask your father for more.” “Dad, what are you doing? i have money, I don’t need it!‘ 

How could she take her father’s hard–earned money now that she was married? Moreover her father worked tilessly and didn’t earn much each month Since moving to the Back Bay district after her marriage, she had purchased all her daily necessities herself. Luc Taylor had never given her any money, and of course, she had never asked him for any sither 

The money Emma had was transferred to her monthly by Mr. Jacob, the housekeeper of the Taylor household. The money she used for grocenes each month was also mimbursed by Mr. Jacob 

Mr. Jacob managed the houses in the Back Bay district where Luc Taylor and Emma Johnson Ived, as well as the apartment in Quincy where Jane and Soraya lived with other properti wned by the Taylor family. He took ouders from Mrs Taylor, and the domestic helpers were also arranged by him 

Now that she had started raming her own money, she should be giving her father money. However, her father was still subsiding her. This made her feel a bit melancholic 

For three to four years, she had been revolving her life 

fe around Luc; when had she last cared for her parents? 

A hint of gray was starting to show in her father’s hair. She hadn’t paid much attention before, but ever since she decided to part ways with Luc, she started noticing the people and things around her more. 

“Emma, who else should your dad leave his money to if not for you to spend? You’re going to the West, where living conditions aren’t the best. You need to buy more supplies. for yourself and food too. The place is remote. You might need to travel miles to find a shop. Without keeping some supplies with you, you might not be able to buy them 

once you get there. 

“Take this! Your dad won’t be going shopping with you. I have customers coming to collect their clothes later.” 

Emma clenched the money tightly in her hands. Her eyes were already moist, and her nose tinged with sadness. “Dad, Ll go do my shopping now.” 

She quickly turned around, determined not to let her father see the tears streaming down her cheeks 1. 

a junior doctor wasn’t 

She walked into the neighborhood with heavy steps, let out a sigh, and thought that her salary should increase after serving in the West. The salary of a much, but as long as she didn’t spend too much, she could still save some money and take care of her father later 

She ambled to the crossroads of the neighborhood, noticing the same bustling atmosphere as usual, with people coming and going, shadows working busily for their lives.” Taking a deep breath, Emma suddenly realized that she liked the neighborhood. The rows of trees adorned with lanterns, the charm of the old shops, the lively atmosphere Despite being in the middle of a busy street, it had a breath of life, and it was close to reality. She thought this must be the true face of life, right? 

all her bags aside 

She pondered about what she needed to buy for the West, Considering the weather, she decided on umbrellas and sun hats. For supplies, she thought about high–calorie, easy- to–carry snacks. The hospital would provide medical supplies, and she also needed personal clothing, sports shoes, windbreakers, etc.X After walking around the neighborhood, she had bought almost everything she needed. She found a stone bench to rest for a while, setting all Next to another stone bench, a man stood by while a casually dressed woman, around 50 years old, sat there panting In less than three seconds, the woman fell to the ground clutching her chest, wincing in pain. Her limbs curled slightly and the middle–aged man shouted in surprise, “Mrs, Mrs, what’s wrong?” 

Looking panicked, he reached out to help the fallen woman.3 

“Stop, don’t move her Emma immediately warned. 

“Mrs. Mrs. Despite Emma’s admonition, the man, panicking, insisted on helping his fallen mistress. 

Emma sternly reiterated. “STOP i told you not to move! She’s having a heart attack, Moving her could cause more harm and lead to serious complications. Does she have emergency medication with her? Are you her family? Do you know where her medicine is?“) 

“Yes, yes! It’s in the car I’ll fetch it right now.” The middle–aged man quickly reacted. He hastily ran to the parked car, took out a white bottle, and rushed back. “Give it to me 

et to swallow.T 

The middle–aged man, having gone through the recent incident, seemed to trust her enough to hand over the medicine bottle. Emma glanced at the instructions on the bottle, quickly tipped out a few pills, and forced them into the woman’s mouth, urging her to “Deep breath… stretch your limba slowly, lay flat? 

The man took out his phone and dialed the emergency number, giving them the address, and then dialed another number, “Sir, the lady..she… The woman’s pained expression gradually eased, and she slowly opened her eyes, “Young girl.. thank you.. you!” 

“Ma’am, you’re welcome! Fortunately, your family had emergency medicine with i 

them? 

“Mrs. you’re awake The middle–aged man, known as Graig Logan, nearly broke into joyful tears, approaching with a guilt–filled face. 

“Graig, we should thank this girl.. 

“Thank you, mas 

*No need for thanks!”
