Chapter 1744
“What’s got you down? It’s the first time Mr. Ron has pulled through like this, even letting Chad go, and you’re not
pleased?” Edwina chimed in, grinning.
“I’m alright!” Emily took a deep breath, reaching out for her phone, contemplating whether to call Charlie to
express her gratitude.
Just as she was hesitating, her phone screen lit up with a call from an unfamiliar number.
Caught off guard, Emily slowly picked up the phone, “Hello?”
“Is this Emily?” It was a stranger’s voice, sounding slightly anxious.
“Yes, it’s me. Who’s this?” Emily asked.

here ASAP!” The man’s voice was filled with urgency.
Emily’s face immediately paled, “What happened?”
“I’ll send you the address of the hospital. Please hurry! We’ll talk then’ the man replied.
“Alright!” Hanging up the phone, Emily suppressed her panic and hastily strode out.
She hailed a taxi to the Mercy Hospital. Her mind was in a daze throughout the ride, a chilling sensation enveloping
her from head to toe. Upon arrival, she sprinted towards the emergency room.
Shawn was still in there. Outside were a few senior members of the company and Shawn’s colleagues.
“Dad!” Emily rushed over, her voice exuding disquietude, “What happened to my dad?”
The company’s leader, Bard, approached her, “You must be Emily?”
Emily nodded frantically.
Bard explained, “There was a fire in our warehouse. Your dad rushed in to put it out and got injured. He’s still
receiving treatment.”
Emily’s face turned as white as a sheet; her legs gave way, almost causing her to fall. The people around her
quickly helped her sit down.
Bard had someone bring Emily a glass of water, “Just sit here and wait. Don’t worry. Whatever happened, the
company will take responsibility”
Emily nodded absentmindedly, her gaze fixated on the glowing sign outside the emergency room, her heart
pounding uncontrollably.
“Do you have any other family members?” Bard asked.

After failing to reach Elliott, she called her mom.
Gina was surprised but assured her she’d be there soon.
While Emily was on the phone, Bard stepped aside and called Charlie, “Mr. James, something happened!”
The James Group Charlie hung up the phone, his expression grim as he rose to leave.
When walking downstairs, he’d calmed down a bit. He decided to call Estelle, “Estelle, something’s happened to
Emily’s dad. Could you go to the hospital to keep her company? I’m worried she’ll be overwhelmed on her own.”
Estelle was on set at the time. Magdalen had come to visit and brought a bunch of snacks. They were all chatting
together.
Upon receiving Charlie’s call, Estelle immediately stood up and said to Magdalen, “Magdalen, there was an accident
with Emily. We need to get to the hospital right away!”
“What?” Magdalen’s face changed, “What happened to Emily?”
“It’s not Emily. It’s her dad. We’ll discuss it when we get there!”
With that, Estelle swiftly made her way out.
