Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Although Eason was perplexed by Susan’s evident anxiety, he made a point to seek out Emma.

Emma’s door was firmly shut.

Eason tried calling and knocking, but there was no response from inside.

Frowning, Eason figured Emma might not be home.

He was on his way to tell Susan when suddenly, something caught his eye, causing his pupils to widen in surprise.

Emma’s window was wide open.

There she sat on the windowsill, quietly.

Dressed in white, her feet dangling, she made no further movement.

Despite everything, a sudden jolt raced through Eason’s heart.

He couldn’t see Emma’s expression clearly.

But the image of her leaping from the window inexplicably flashed through his mind.

His heart suddenly picked up pace.

Without thinking, Eason rushed back upstairs.

Emma’s door was still closed.

In this emergency, Eason didn’t hesitate to call a professional to forcefully open the door.

Despite the noise at the door, Emma showed no reaction. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Eason hurried to the windowsill.

Emergency calls Olym

There was Emma, still sitting quietly.

Eason approached softly and then swiftly lifted her off the sill.

Entering the room so abruptly would usually startle anyone.

However, Emma didn’t react at all.

As she turned her head and saw it was Eason, her expression remained completely undisturbed.

‘Oh, it’s Eason,‘ she thought calmly, then sank back into silence.

“What were you thinking?” Eason asked, still shaken.

Emma silently glanced at Eason.

Then, she simply walked over and sat down on the couch.

She flipped on the TV and landed on the kids‘ channel.

On the screen, a merry tune was playing, with the lyrics “Twinkle, twinkle, little star.”

A bunch of little stars were shining in the sky.

Emma was watching intently, not even blinking.

Eason felt a bit baffled.

He couldn’t help but walk over, “I’m talking to you.”

Emma ignored him and kept watching TV.

Eason frowned, feeling something off about Emma today.

Just then, there came a knock at the door.

Emma kept her eyes glued to the TV, not changing her expression.

Eason hesitated, then went to answer the door.

“Miss Garcia, are you alright?”

As soon as the door opened, a middle–aged woman with glasses spoke, somewhat out of breath.

Clearly, she had run up

here.

Seeing Eason, she paused, “You are…”

Eason glanced at Emma on the sofa.

With an extra person in the room, Emma seemed oblivious as if the television was all that mattered.

Eason shifted his gaze, speaking in a deep voice, “I’m her boyfriend.”

He glanced at Emma.

Sure enough, Emma had no reaction.

“Boyfriend?” The woman in glasses seemed shocked.

Eason took on a host’s demeanor,

“And you are.

The woman glanced at Emma.

Emma neither denied nor confirmed, just focused on the TV.

“Come on in,” Eason motioned her inside.

The woman hesitated, then stepped in.

She first checked on Emma’s condition.

Seeing that Emma was just quietly watching TV, without any further self–harm, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Do you know Emma? I don’t think I’ve seen you before,” Eason initiated the conversation.

The woman with glasses glanced at Eason, hesitating a bit.

Eason caught on, “Should we talk in the study?”

She nodded in agreement.

In the study, they deliberately left the door open.

This way, they could chat and keep an eye on Emma at the same time.

“Do you know about Emma’s condition?” the woman asked.

Eason really wanted to say he didn’t.

But he pretended to be well–informed.

He sighed softly and said, “I’m her boyfriend. Of course, I know about her condition.”

The woman looked at Eason gently, “I’m Emma’s doctor, you can call me Dr. Thompson. Knowing Emma’s situation and still wanting to be with her, I believe you must love her deeply.”

‘Emma’s doctor?‘

Eason’s eyebrows twitched, continuing to probe, “Dr. Thompson, could you please tell me the extent of Emma’s condition?”

Dr. Thompson didn’t notice anything amiss and took out Emma’s medical record, placing it in front of

Eason.

“This little house of Emma, even her parents don’t know about it. She told you about this place, so you

must be very important to her. Maybe, you can help her out of the darkness.”

Eason calmly took the medical record and looked at it.

Then, his pupils shrank slightly.

‘Severe depression? Emma had depression?‘

In his view, Emma was just a bit timid and a bit introverted.

He didn’t expect her heart to be engulfed in darkness.

Dr. Thompson continued, “Emma has been sick for about four years. Her condition has been fluctuating over the years. When she’s well, she seems almost normal. When she’s not, she has a strong aversion to life. She decided to live alone, which I was really worried about, so I made a deal with her. Every day, she must report to me on WhatsApp at a certain time. If she doesn’t, it means her condition might have relapsed.”

“So, that’s why you came over so quickly,” Eason said.

Dr. Thompson gave a bitter smile, “I was really scared.”

She opened Emma’s medical record for Eason to see, “Actually, Emma hadn’t had an episode for over a year. I thought she was getting better. This time, I don’t know what triggered her sudden relapse. You’re her boyfriend. Do you have any clues?”

Eason’s brow twitched.

Dr. Thompson reminded him, “Like, has anything special happened recently?”

Eason hesitated for a moment.

He thought to himself, ‘Was it a special thing, him pursuing Emma? Could it be that Emma’s illness relapsed because of him?‘

Eason couldn’t help but feel a wave of guilt.

‘I had made the move to pursue Emma only to cover up a lie for Penny. If my pursuit had caused trouble for Emma, even leading to the relapse of her illness, wouldn’t I be the troublemaker?‘ Eason thought.

“what are you t

about?” Dr. Thompson asked further.

Eason hesitated for a moment and chose to be honest, “Dr. Thompson, I’m sorry. I lied to you just now. Actually, I’m not Emma’s boyfriend. I’m just pursuing her. Maybe her sudden relapse is because she really dislikes me.”

Dr. Thompson looked at Eason with some surprise.

Eason sincerely said, “I’m really sorry. But, I’m willing to do my utmost to make amends.”

Eason thought to himself that Emma’s situation was entirely his fault. He felt compelled to step up and take responsibility, as it was the right thing to do.
