As soon as she said it , she wanted to slap herself . What was she saying ? Would he think she was trying to seduce him and then kill her ? " No , I didn't mean that , I ... " : Before she could explain , Daniel had already slipped under the covers . Seeing him accept her suggestion , Emily quickly opened the window to air out the blood smell . Then she hurried back to bed and covered herself . Next to her , Daniel had a faint , pleasant woody scent . Emily instinctively took a deep breath . Realizing what she did , she quickly composed herself . Hopefully , Daniel didn't notice . Just then , the door to the room opened . Several men with sharp eyes scanned the room . Emily immediately put on a confused expression and looked at them . " Who are you ? " The men , finding nothing unusual , said coldly , " Sorry , wrong room . " They closed the door and left . Emily heard them checking other rooms outside . Daniel got up from the bed . Emily saw his blood - soaked shirt and frowned , " Should I call a doctor to bandage your wound ? " ' No need . " Daniel refused in a deep voice . He then tossed a jade pendant to Emily , " I owe you this once . " He opened the window and leaped out , leaving the room . His woody scent faded with the wind , as if he had never been there . 90 1/3 8:46 Tue , Oct 14 Chapter 3 But the cool touch of the jade pendant proved he had been there . " One favor , huh ? " A promise from the head of the Smith family was significant . Emily smiled , pleasantly surprised . Was this a stroke of luck from her rebirth ? Could she change her tragic fate ? Voices came from the hallway again . Emily's heart skipped a beat . Were those men coming back ? But Daniel was gone , so she had nothing to fear . Thinking this , Emily got out of bed and peeked through the door . She saw Bianca being carefully escorted out of the hospital by the Johnson family and James . Bianca smiled sweetly , as if the world favored her . In contrast , Emily's empty room felt incredibly ironic . Suddenly , James's sharp gaze turned towards Emily's room . " James , what are you staring at ? " Bianca asked softly , her voice barely audible . James's intense gaze softened immediately. " Nothing , I must be imagining things . Thought I saw Emily . " Hayden chimed in , " James , you gotta be mistaken . Emily's at home , fast asleep . No way she's here at the hospital . " Emily wasn't surprised by Hayden's sarcastic tone . Bianca said something , and Hayden and James instantly started fussing over her . The three of them moved further away until they were out of Emily's sight . A dull ache settled in Emily's heart . So , James had started noticing Bianca this early on . She composed herself and went to check out of the hospital . 90 ' Isn't this Emily , the one the Johnson family found in the trash ? I remember Bianca was picked up by her family . Are you just arriving , or did your family forget you at the hospital ? " The speaker was Sophia Brown , the daughter of the Brown family . Being a cherished daughter herself , the social circle naturally liked to compare her with Bianca . 2/3 8:47 Tue , Oct 14 Chapter 3 ଝଚ ୦୦ She didn't like Bianca and looked down on Emily , who was picked up from the trash . Her words were not kind ; she was trying to provoke Emily into causing trouble for Bianca . Emily chose to ignore her and walked past her . Hey , Sophia's talking to you ! Just like a beggar , no manners at all . " Sophia's sidekick blocked Emily , mocking her. Emily was forced to stop , her gaze cold as she looked at Sophia . Sophia was taken aback . How could a weak , self - conscious beggar have such a commanding presence now ? She must be pretending . Sophia raised her head proudly and stared at Emily , " Don't glare at me like that . You should be glaring at those people who harassed Bianca . Aren't you her sidekick , always defending her ? " " Do you have evidence ? " A dark light flashed in Emily's eyes as she suddenly spoke .
