My Most Precious Wife

Chapter 408 What If It'S Real

Joseph had always felt that Emily was rather amiable.

However, it was different this time.

Seeing her at that moment, Joseph deeply felt the ties of kinship between them.

No wonder he always had a kind feeling towards her. It turned out that it was because she was his

biological cousin.

“Joseph, how is it? Did you go to the hospital this morning?”

Emily came out in a hurry. Fortunately, Hunter was not here today, so she could be free to do anything.

Joseph suddenly pulled her over and hugged her in his arms.

“Joseph...” Emily was confused.

But being hugged by him like this, she didn’t feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.

He was very calm. As an introverted person, he seldom revealed a trace of true feelings. But, this time

he did and it wasn’t disgusting.

On the contrary, it made her feel inexplicably at ease.

She felt that she should have been close to him. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Even Emily didn’t know when she started to feel like this.

“Joseph? What’s wrong?”

He had hugged her for a long time. Emily frowned and was a little puzzled.

“Is there … something unhappy?”

“Don’t you hate me?” Joseph finally released her.

Looking down at the girl in his arms, he sighed silently.

She was his cousin. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.

However, she did not know their relationship after all. After hugging for a long time, he was afraid that

she would get angry.

Emily shook her head and looked at him with a worried expression.

“Joseph, has anything happened?”

His worried expression made her feel anxious.

“If only you really were my cousin.”

He hadn’t decided whether to tell Emily about it.

After all, she had said that she had done a paternity test with grandfather, and the two of them had no

blood relationship.

The safest way was for him to give them another test. When he got the report, he would explain it to

her.

He believed that there must be something wrong with the test Emily and grandpa did last time.

Perhaps, Wendy had asked someone to tamper with it, so even Emily didn’t know that she was

Sawyer’s biological granddaughter.

Hearing what he said, Emily’s eyes darkened.

She did want to be his cousin and Sawyer’s granddaughter.

This family, these people, could really make her feel at home.

In this lifetime, other than Matriarch Jackson and her grandmother, no one else had ever given her

such a feeling of warmth.

When Joseph saw the gloominess in her eyes, he smiled and said, “If you were really my cousin, what

would you do?”

“What can I do? Of course, I’ll call you big cousin.”

Emily smiled helplessly and retreated from his embrace. She stared at his face seriously.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you go to test the blood relationship of Wendy and Grandpa Sawyer this

morning? What’s the result?”

“We haven’t got the results yet. It’ll take four hours.”

However, that report was meaningless to Joseph.

Emily did not ask further. She felt that something was wrong with Joseph today.

However, no matter what he was thinking, Emily believed that he had no malice towards her at all.

“Since you came to City L, it seems that you haven’t looked around. How about I take you around?”

“The Gale family is hosting a banquet tomorrow. Don’t you need to prepare something?”

He was the eldest grandson of the Gales. Wendy’s return couldn’t even change his position in the Gale

family.

The Gale family would have an important banquet, so he should help to organize it.

“I wonder if this banquet can be held.”

Joseph’s words made Emily purse her lips without saying anything else.

Although the report was not yet available, she could feel that Joseph believed her. This was enough.

Just as the two of them got into the car, Joseph’s phone rang.

He immediately answered the phone.

“… Hunter?” Joseph frowned. He didn’t expect that Wendy left the hospital and went to see Hunter.

“It may not have anything to do with him. Follow her first and see what happens.”

After hanging up, he dialed another number.

“Milo, there are some things. You must help me now. Please don’t ask why. I’ll tell you later.”

“What is it?” Milo rarely heard Joseph speak to him in such a serious tone.

Through the line, Milo could feel the seriousness of the matter.

“Today, you must stop Grandfather from going to the company and seeing the lawyer. Milo, I can’t

explain to you right now, but you must listen to me.”

Milo did not ask any further.

He had known Joseph since he was a little child, so he believed him.

“Alright, I see. Today, I will let Sawyer have a carefree day.”

“Thank you.”

Joseph hung up the phone and saw Emily staring at him with a puzzled expression.

He said indifferently, “There are some things that I am gathering evidence for. I cannot tell too many

people for the time being.”

“But, the banquet is to be held tomorrow …” She knew vaguely what kind of evidence he wanted to

gather.

“It doesn’t matter. It won’t affect our trip.”

He had already instructed some people to help him, and now, he could only wait.

As for Emily, he really wanted to walk around with her.

It had nothing to do with anything else. It was just because he felt sorry for this girl.

Joseph reached out and touched her long hair.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it. Enjoy your time. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

Joseph was really doting on her today. He behaved like her big cousin.

Emily exhaled before nodding.

“Then I won’t ask. I think …”

Her face suddenly changed. She covered her lips with her hands, and her brows were filled with

discomfort.

“Emily, what’s wrong?” Joseph was worried.

“I... Uh...”

Emily could not continue. She suddenly pushed open the car door and got off the car.

Joseph chased after her and saw her running to a nearby trash can and retching.

“What’s going on? Is there anything wrong?”

He patted her carefully on the back. When she got better and stopped retching, he asked, “Is anything

wrong with your stomach? The hospital is nearby. I’ll take you there.”

Emily shook her head. It wasn’t because of stomach distress. She … she suspected that she was

pregnant…

However, this idea was simply too terrifying!

If this was true, what would she do?

It was impossible for her and Hunter to be together!

“But I have to take you to the doctor.”

If she was sick, she must get prompt treatment.

“Joseph, I... I don’t want to go.” She was afraid that the doctor would tell her that she was pregnant,

which worried her the most.

“No, Emily. Illness shouldn’t be ignored. Don’t be willful. I’ll take you to the hospital. It’ll be fine soon.”

“But, I don’t want to …”

Before Emily could finish her sentence, she felt a wave of nausea.

She couldn’t hold it back, turned around and started to retch again.
