Hearing Erik's demand, Emily was stunned for a moment before she cursed under her breath. "Damn that bastard." She closed her eyes. 'But I'm not going to follow him.' She thought with overflowing conviction.
However, Emma had no such conviction and immediately got up to follow Erik with a happy smile. When she caught up to him, she asked, "What about Astrid, Sir? Should we leave her like that?"
Erik shrugged in response. "It's fine. She likely won't wake up for quite a while as her body is exhausted. And even if she wakes up sooner than expected, she should recognize my room. She's never been in there, but we've had video calls. She probably won't freak out, and even if she does, I'd rather that than have her find herself chained up."
Emma nodded in acceptance but still offered her opinion. "I think she would like it if she woke up with you beside her, Sir."
