"Admittedly, no," Sean said shortly. This alone was enough to startle Emily but he continued, "But there's a reason why I'm so nice to you."
Emily asked him in a trance, "And what's that?"
"The first time I saw you, I immediately remembered my little sister. You look like her a lot but she's already passed away." When Sean talked about his sister, his eyes turned gloomy.
"I'm sorry," Emily said, "I didn't mean to remind you of that."
Sean smiled at her gently, "It's okay, it's been years. I just never thought I'd see you as my sister and I can't help but be nice to you. It would be a joy to me if you saw me as your brother too."
"Doctor Sean, thank you..." Emily didn't feel uncomfortable with this, but instead, she felt sad for Sean.
She also understood what it felt like to lose family.
She was so used to being sunken in despair as if nothing good was going on in her life. She struggled to find strength in anything, looking for something to hold on to.
Since being a substitute for Sean's sister comforted him so much, why couldn't she do that for other people if it would help them?
Family affection was different from love. Love was unique and often hard to replace but family love and comfort could be found anywhere in anyone.
Later on, Sean did a full physical examination on Emily to see if there were new problems. But except for couple of scars, she was okay. He left after emphasizing that she needed to rest because there were still some things about her body that needed attending to.
Emily didn't sleep well at first, but after she lit the incense Sean gave her, she was able to sleep better.
The next morning, Emily got up early and went downstairs.
She slowly walked along the hall way making sure to hold on the rails when she lifted her eyes and bumped into someone.
"Emily," the man said.
The memory of last night immediately came rushing to Emily. she felt so overwhelmed that she even missed a few steps and almost slipped.
"Ah!" she screamed, as she put her hands on her belly subconsciously. Next thing she kn
you."
Victor looked up at Emily - he looked absolutely calm as if he hadn't just been crying a few minutes ago. "Anne's always had poor health so she didn't have much friends growing up. She really saw you as a true friend and talked about you a lot especially when she was dying," he said.
But Jacob had blocked his right to return to the country. Even if he wanted Anne to be happier, Victor couldn't take her back neither. Jacob thought he was a threat to Emily. But fate is tricky and they've brought them together again.
Even though she came a little later.
If she'd been here earlier, would that have made Anne happier? But he wasn't sure if he would force Emily to sacrifice herself for Anne again.
And now that Anne was gone, there was no point in entertaining those thoughts anymore.
"I'm sorry," Emily pleaded as she felt a wave of guilt in her heart.
When she returned to the country, she had nothing but problems. Although sometimes, Anne would cross her mind, it was often interrupted by something else more urgent and pressing.
She had reached this point in her life when she thought everything was going to collapse. There was no time for her to pause and think of anything else.
But Anne was still thinking of her.
She took a handful of candy out of her pocket and knelt before the tombstone and like a child, said, "Anne, I have candy for you."
