Chapter 36 - It's Me 2

After being called, Elsie finally came out. She smiled and said, "Don't make fun of her. At least she is my sister."

Those people burst into laughter.

Emily suppressed the mockery in her eyes, pretending to be wronged and scared as she approached her. She called Elsie in a cowardly voice, "Elsie."

Elsie led her to the cafeteria and got a tray for her, "Help yourself and pick whatever you want to eat."

Emily took a bite of the cream puff and smiled at Elsie with narrowed eyes, "Elsie, it's delicious."

Elsie wiped her mouth and said, "Take your time. There's more here. Are you thirsty? Let me get you some water."

"Alright, thank you, Elsie."

Last time, she had already suffered a loss. If Emily was still retarded, then she would still be tricked by Elsie this time. But now, she's different!

Not long after, Elsie poured a glass of water and handed it to her. "Come, have some water."

Emily raised her head and took a sip of water. But she didn't swallow it. Elsie was watching her every move. So, she took another piece of bread. Just as she was about to stuff it into her mouth, she staggered and fell onto Elsie. When she fell, she tilted her head and spat the water in her mouth on the bread. She also poured the water into another plate.

"Elsie, are you alright?" Emily covered her head and pretended that she couldn't straight. "I'm a little dizzy," she said.

Elsie did not doubt her. She only thought that the medicine had already worked. She immediately grabbed Emily's hand and said, "I'll find you a room to rest."

Emily nodded and asked, "Where's Eliot?"

Elsie helped her to the second floor and whispered, "He will come soon."

Emily mocked Elsie in her heart. Eliot was surrounded by those people and couldn't get out at all. Was it also because of Elsie?

She was led to the innermost room on the second floor by Elsie. There was a sign hanging on the door, saying "Do not disturb".

There was no light in the room. Elsie helped her to the bed and comforted her, "Emily, get some sleep here. Later, I will take you home."

Emily said softly, "Alright."

There was a weird fragrance in the air. Emily held her breath, but she still inhaled a little.

Elsie smiled and tucked her in the quilt. Then, she turned around and prepared to leave. Just when she turned back, a vase smashed into the back of her neck. Before she could turn around, she completely fainted.

Emily caught Elsie and pulled her onto the bed while holding back her breath. She stripped her naked, then changed into her yellow evening gown and went out with his face covered.

She couldn't go too far. If her accomplice was at the door, she would definitely be found out. She was too short. Emily walked a few steps and casually pushed open a door. She leaned against the door and gasped for breath.

The smell made her a little sick. Her head was heavy, her breath hot, her limbs limp, and she slid down to sit on the floor.

It was when she raised her head that she saw there was a man in the room. There was a light in front of her. The hazy light only faintly showed a figure sitting there. She could not see the outline clearly, and could only see a faint red light in the darkness.

"Who is it?" She was like a little hedgehog which immediately held up her thorns all over her body. Her entire body tensed up.

That man’s voice was deep and magnetic, sounded pretty familiar, “It’s me.”

Emily was at a loss for a moment. Then she tilted her head and asked, "Mr. Vincent?"

The man did not respond. Emily heard his footsteps getting closer. Suddenly, she felt some pain coming from her chin. He grabbed her chin, forcing her to raise her head.. Then she saw Vincent's aloof face.
