For Her Heart Again のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Emma’s RoomThe room was quiet, cloaked in shadows except for the soft golden light spilling from the lamp on the nightstand. Emma sat on the edge of her bed, knees drawn tightly to her chest, arms wrapped around them as though the embrace might keep her from breaking apart.Leah’s words replayed in her head with ruthless clarity.“He and I are getting engaged. Stay away from my fiancé.”They echoed again and again, each repetition a sharper blade cutting into her chest. Emma pressed her forehead against her knees, trying to steady the ragged rhythm of her breathing, but the ache refused to leave.Why did it hurt so much? She should have dismissed Leah’s warning as baseless arrogance. She should have told herself that none of it mattered—Grayson’s world was never hers to begin with. And yet, the thought of him standing beside Leah, sliding a ring onto her finger, promising her a future, sent a crushing pain through her chest she could hardly endure.She hated herself for it.Her entir

After work that day, Emma returned home. She didn’t see Grayson at the manor, but she noticed Butler Harry handing a neatly packed bag of clothes to Assistant Gael. From the quiet exchange, Emma guessed Grayson wouldn’t be returning for a few days. He would likely spend the nights in the lounge area of his office at the company.The thought brought her a quiet relief. She didn’t have to worry about bumping into him or controlling the flutter in her chest whenever he appeared. For once, she could breathe freely without the tension that seemed to accompany every interaction with him. Without dwelling on it, she went upstairs, showered, and slipped into bed, letting exhaustion carry her into dreamless sleep.Two days passed in the blink of an eye. It was finally the day of the reunion.Emma went to work as usual. The café buzzed with the familiar rhythm of espresso machines, clinking spoons, and the low hum of conversations. But her mind kept drifting to the evening. Miranda noticed imme

The night air was cool when Grayson stepped out of the restaurant. He didn’t look back once at Leah, who sat frozen in the private room. His steps were steady, his expression unreadable.The black car was waiting outside. Assistant Gael quickly opened the door. When Grayson slid into the back seat, Gael glanced at him through the mirror.“Young Master, are we done already? Should we wait for Miss Leah?”Grayson’s voice was calm but left no room for questions. “No need. She’ll go home by herself. Drive to First City Hospital.”Assistant Gael’s brows lifted slightly. “First City Hospital?” he repeated in surprise, but Grayson’s cold eyes flicked to him once, and he swallowed his curiosity. Without asking further, he started the engine.The car drove swiftly through the city lights, and soon they pulled up at the hospital entrance. Grayson stepped out, his long strides cutting through the lobby.When he reached the ward, he pushed the door open.Inside, Emma lay unconscious on the bed. H

The sharp scent of disinfectant lingered in the ward. Morning light filtered in through the half-drawn curtains, painting the room with a pale glow.“Emma, the nurse is here,” Miranda’s gentle voice broke the silence as she pushed open the door.Emma stirred weakly, her lashes fluttering before she managed to open her eyes. She blinked at Miranda, then at the nurse in crisp white uniform following close behind.The nurse gave her a reassuring smile. “Good morning, Miss Emma. Let’s run a quick checkup.”Emma nodded faintly, her body still heavy. The nurse worked with quiet efficiency—taking her pulse, checking her bandages, listening to her heartbeat. After finishing, she straightened and turned toward Dexter and Miranda, who had been watching anxiously.“Her injuries are stable,” the nurse explained. “But Miss Emma lost a lot of blood. She is showing signs of anemia, and her body constitution is very weak. Stress and malnutrition have made it worse.”Miranda’s hands tightened nervousl

After Dexter left the hospital, Grayson remained in Emma's ward as he took out his phone and made a call to Assistant Gael.A knock was heard from outside“Come in” Grayson looked up from the files he was staring atThe door pushed opened as Assistant Gael walked in“Young master, you called me”“How is the investigation on the kidnapping going?” Grayson asked Gael immediately straightened his back as he replied “The thugs said that they were hired by Miss Liu Tang Tang to kidnap and rape Miss Emma and abandon her somewhere”When Grayson heard his words his expression change “Has Liu Tang Tang been interrogated?” “Yes, but she claims to have done everything by herself but her account was discovered to have received 2 million yuan during the time of Emma's kidnap, after that all traces and tracks of who was the sender went cold” Gael replied“What do you mean by went cold?”Grayson asked his voice calm but threatening Gael lowered his head as he answered cautiously“We couldn't fi
