"Come on, wake up," Emma Hart pleaded as she dialed the phone again, but Damien Sterling had stopped answering.
It was 3 p.m. when Damien arrived punctually. Emma opened the door, and upon seeing him, she didn't have time to argue but instead rushed Bailey into his arms. It was then that Damien noticed Emma's eyes, swollen from crying, which tugged at his heart as he couldn't bear to see her in tears.
Looking down at the frail Bailey, his heart skipped a beat, realizing Bailey was indeed sick.
Emma, with her eyes red and voice choked with sobs, said, "I told you Bailey was really sick. Why didn't you believe me?" Her tone was laced with blame towards Damien.
Taking Bailey from Emma's arms, Damien called out to his driver, "Hurry to the pet hospital."
