Emily, The Mute Girl
Bringing a Stranger Home

"Clarissa!!"

Jeremy's voice comes in time, before Clarissa goes crazy and breaks free again. The girl slammed into Jeremy's arms. He no longer cared about the people's views.

"Jeremy, thank goodness you're okay. I was so scared." said Clarissa Lirih.

Jeremy hugs Clarissa but her eyes are on Emily. He looked at his wife with a complicated feeling.

Jeremy didn't think Emily would be that good with Clarissa. She saw for herself how Emily tried to save Clarissa from the onslaught of people who kept running around, whether or not she would be trampled.

Emily protects the girl who will take her place so sincerely. If other women were in her position, they would not care about her husband's infidelity. Or at the very least, it was enough to have the bodyguards protecting Clarissa, there was no need for her to bother.

Emily never wanted to keep her position as Jeremy's wife. Did he really have no feelings for her at all?

Thinking of this made Jeremy's heart become very upset. Especially when he saw Emily looked ordinary as she hugged Clarissa in front of him.

******

'You can go first. I'm going home with the driver who was driving Clarissa.' cue Emily when they're at the side of the car, away from the fire.

Jeremy cringing. She doesn't know why Emily suddenly doesn't want a car with them.

"Whatchu mean? Why don't you come home with us?" tanyakanya.

"Jeremy.." call Clarissa in a weak voice from inside the car.

Seeing that, Emily knew that Clarissa didn't want to be in the car with her. So he waved his hand.

'Clarissa is hurt. You better get him to the hospital quickly. I can't stand the smell of drugs in there so I'm going straight home.' cue Emily.

Jeremy was silent for a moment. Clarissa then pulled out her hand and gave him a hearty look.

'You better go now. Clarissa needs treatment for her injuries.' cues Emily again.

Hearing that, Jeremy then got into the car and they immediately left for the hospital, having previously assigned the two bodyguards to keep Emily home safely.

Meanwhile, Emily rolled her gaze around. The fire was extinguished because the fire engine arrived quickly. It burned only in the interior of the building.

Jeremy had told his men to investigate and it turned out that the fire was deliberately carried out by his company's enemies. Jeremy will definitely not forgive them.

Fortunately there were no casualties, only a few people who fell and stepped on, one of them was Clarissa.

The injured were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment by a medical team. Only Clarissa refuses to take him unless Jeremy comes along.

Emily got into the car and left. However, as a result of the fire, the main road became jammed so the driver decided to pass the rat road, and Emily agreed.

While passing through the rather narrow alternate path, Emily noticed something that caught her eye. Near the seedy wall building, a human figure was lying just like that. He also asked the driver to stop the speed of his vehicle, then he went down intending to check. Behind them, the two bodyguards who were following using motorbikes, also stopped.

"Young Miss, let us check" said one of the bodyguards.

'All right.' Emily's cue.

The two bodyguards approached the figure and checked. It turned out that the figure was a young man. His body was full of wounds and bruises. Looks like it's been robbed or in the trunk. Because they found nothing on his body other than torn clothes exposed by sharp weapons here and there.

They also checked his pulse.

'Did he die?' ask Emily through a wave of her hand.

The two guards nodded.

'Alright, because she's alive, so we have to help her.' Emily's cue decided.

He asked them to put the man in the car and take him home. They did not take him to the hospital because it would attract the attention of many people and invite many questions.

After all, at the Mansion there is Doctor Darren who can treat it.

******

"I should have taken care of Young Miss, not a begal victim who almost died like this" Doctor Darren complained.

Hearing this made Emily laugh. Currently they were at the back of the Mansion. This place is the servant's room.

'You never really took care of me, Doctor Darren. I'm not a sick person who needs extra care.

During the two months they interacted, the two became friends because they used to pretend to be doctors and patients.

"Stay, Miss can't tell me like this" he said sulking.

Emily knew she was just kidding. As a doctor, he cared deeply about the lives of others.

'Just say you're checking on me. Now tell me, how's the condition?' ask Emily on her signal.

"I can't answer that right now, because I still have to check the entirety of his injuries. I'll tell Miss it's hard to finish" said Doctor Darren.

'Alright. I came out first so you could check on her properly, ' cue Emily.

"Well, Miss." replied Doctor Darren as he nodded, then refocused on his work.

Emily walked out and met with Wawan.

"Did Miss bring someone back?" tanyanya politely. Emily nodded.

'Please have a waiter prepare new clothes for her, and help Darren clean her body. It looked like a blood bath.' her cue.

"Well, Young Miss" said Pak Wawan nodding obediently.

Emily wants to go back to her room to rest. But as soon as he was about to walk, he saw Jeremy approaching them.

"I heard from the waiter, said you brought a man here?" ask Jeremy. His tone sounded unhappy.

"Who is he?" he continued impatiently.

'Yes, I did bring people here . He was injured so I asked Dr. Darren to treat him. I don't know who she is either.' cues Emily.

"Would you find a hundred wounded people on the street, you would also bring them here to be treated?" ask Jeremy sarcas. His eyebrows until wrinkled.

Emily looked at him and nodded.

'I used to help people a long time ago. But if you don't like it, then I won't do it again.' he said in a gesture.

Jeremy clucked in annoyance and threw his face away. He also did not know what upset him. Because Emily brought a stranger to her Mansion or because Emily was a man?

Emily, who saw Jeremy's displeased face, tried to divert the question. He waved his hand.

'What about Clarissa? Is he okay?' ask Emily.
