CHAPTER 326: IF LIFE COULD BE MEASURED BY MONEY
After Emily hung up, she received a message. It was still from Henry.
He wanted her to share her location on the phone, so that he could see where she was.
He was afraid that he couldn’t find her.
He was always so kind and sweet to her as if he was taking care of his daughter.
Sometimes, even Emily wondered why he treated her so well.
He broke up with his good friend and was beaten up heavily by Hunter.
However, he had never said anything beyond her boundary, never done anything out of line, and never put any pressure on her.
Looking at the two star markings on the map of her phone, she could imagine the scene of Henry anxiously walking towards her.
Emily smiled slightly. Life sometimes made people despair, but there would also be hope.
She put away her phone and was about to walk out of this dark place.
Suddenly, a few anxious shouts came from a nearby intersection, “Master! Master!”
It was as if someone had fallen to the ground, and the people around were anxious but didn’t know what to do.
The one lying on the ground seemed to be an old man …
Emily immediately stepped forward.
She walked quickly and the fierce pain on her legs made her sweat profusely.
With great difficulty, she suppressed the pain and continued to walk forward.
But before she could get close to the old man, she was stopped by two men in black suits.
“Stop! Don’t go this way!”
“What happened to the old man?” Emily’s gaze passed them and landed on the old man on the ground.
Through the light, she could see that the old man’s face was obviously flushed red. He rolled his eyes upwards. It was clear that he was unable to breathe!
“Quickly put him down!” Emily wanted to go over. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The two men still firmly stopped her and said, “We told you to take another path!”
“He can’t breathe. He choked! Quickly put him down!”
“You …”
“Send her over!” The man standing beside the old man looked over and said anxiously, “Are you a doctor?”
“I’m not.” Emily walked over, but they felt disappointed hearing this.
Emily didn’t want to argue with them. She said anxiously, “Don’t hold him like this. Let him sit up!”
The two men exchanged glances, not knowing whether to follow her words or not.
However, the doctors hadn’t arrived yet, and they had no other choices.
Emily immediately said, “I learned first aid. Quick! Help him sit up!”
This time, no one dared to say anything else.
They helped the old man up and let him sit on the ground.
Emily knelt down behind the old man. She bent her leg against the old man’s back. She hugged the old man’s chest with both of her hands.
After taking a deep breath, Emily suddenly pressed his chest heavily.
The old man was painful by her press, but her action didn’t seem to have any effect at all.
The old man’s face was still flushed red.
The man beside him was about to push Emily away, but Emily was not discouraged. She still hugged the old man’s chest and tried to press again.
This time, a little thing flew out of the old man’s mouth. In an instant, it disappeared.
“What’s going on?” Apart from the young man beside the old man, no one could clearly see what it was.
However, the old man gradually recovered after that thing came out.
The old man was panting heavily. Obviously, he could breathe!
He was okay now.
“Master.” A few bodyguards and housekeepers surrounded him.
Emily immediately waved her hand, “Go away and give him some fresh air.”
The bodyguards immediately retreated, leaving space for the old man.
The butler looked at the young man beside the old man and said, “Young Master Joseph …”
“… A peanut.” Joseph felt a little speechless.
Unexpectedly, it was because of a peanut that caused everyone to be so anxious.
Although his grandpa was already old, he used to be healthy.
Just now, everyone thought that he was having a heart attack but it turned that he choked because of a peanut.
Emily let go of the old man, retreated to the side, raised her hand and wiped her forehead.
Seeing that the old man had recovered, she heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, “Don’t eat such things in the future. You will suffer from indigestion.”
The old man looked up at her. Although he had recovered, he was still unable to speak.
However, the girl in front looked so familiar.
He wanted to raise his hand, but was stopped by his grandson, “Don’t move until you’re better.”
The old man was probably a little embarrassed due to the peanut, so he could only obey.
Emily looked at the young man beside the old man and smiled at him, “He should be fine now. Then I’ll go first.”
“Wait a moment,”
The young man said. The butler immediately looked at Emily and smiled. “Miss, you saved our master. We haven’t showed our gratitude yet.”
“No need. A ‘thanks’ would be fine.”
Just as Emily was about to turn around and leave, the young man said, “I have to do something for you for saving my grandfather.”
“It seems like you haven’t said ‘thanks’ yet.” Emily’s words surprised him.
The young man said, “Thank you, but I still have to …”
“Forget it. How do you want to thank me? Give me money?”
She just didn’t want to cause trouble so she wanted to leave quickly.
Henry was almost there. She had to wait for him at the hotel.
“If you think your grandfather’s life can be measured by money, you can give me a sum of money.
If you think that your grandfather is more important than money, then you don’t need to think of repaying me.”
Although her words were straightforward, they made sense.
Emily smiled and said, “I accept your gratitude. I’m leaving.”
She really left without leaving her name or number.
Her action surprised everyone.
“Doesn’t she know who she had saved?” The butler muttered.
If she had known it, she definitely wouldn’t have left so casually.
After all, no one would hate money.
The reward from the young master would definitely be enough for her to live a wealthy life.
“Grandfather, how do you feel?” After Emily walked far away, Joseph withdrew his gaze and patted the old man’s back.
“I’m fine. It’s just a peanut. I won’t die.”
Patriarch Gale recovered and stood up, as if nothing had happened.
Although he said easily as if it was a small case, it was really dangerous just now.
