Andrew naturally wanted to be alone with Emma Smith as well. As he looked back, he saw the little guy giving him a cheeky thumbs up, and a smile crept onto his face.
In reality, Emma had always wanted to explain things to Andrew. She was very clear about it all: she didn't have any feelings towards him.
She had thought that if she hadn't met Robert Thomson, and she had successfully treated Tommy's illness on her own, perhaps being with him would have been smooth sailing.
But she had met Robert and been involved with him for a month.
Truth be told, she even felt somewhat dirty herself. Although she and Andrew were not boyfriend and girlfriend, she had, after all, sold herself to Robert for a month.
She believed that she would eventually tell Andrew everything. Even if she ultimately completely cut ties with Robert and decided to be with Andrew, she would not hide what happened during that month.
