Second Chances

How could she be tired when she could eat delicious food?

Liam took Emma to a famous Anaurn restaurant where many dishes were crafted by a world-renowned Michelin chef.

Liam received a warm welcome! He and Emma sat at the most romantic table by the window, with a view of the bustling city center streets.

Emma gazed at the night scenery from her seat at the white tablecloth and exclaimed, “It’s so beautiful here!”

“We’ll come often if you like it,” Liam said.

“Yes, yes!” Emma said.

The appetizer was a refreshing avocado salmon mint dish. It was cold and sweet, and Emma’s appetite was stimulated after just one bite!

“It’s really delicious!” She was very familiar with this taste.

Emma thought that the salad must have been prepared by the famous chef who was as renowned as her.

Just as she was thinking about it, her phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID. It was Josiah. He must have found some information about Justine’s death.

Emma held her phone and looked at Liam with an apologetic and guilty expression. “I’m sorry, honey, I have an important call. Can I answer it?”

Liam was very possessive of Emma and wanted her undivided attention when they ate together. However, Emma’s cute expression softened Liam’s heart. So he said, “Alright.”

“Thank you, honey!” Emma said as she quickly kissed Liam on the cheek before rushing to the women’s restroom.

“Hello?”

As expected, Josiah found some information. “Boss, we found some clues! Bunny had an accident while studying at Charon Military School. But the organization erased all the relevant information, so it’s hard to find them now.”

Bunny was Justine’s code name in the organization when she was alive.

Everyone in the organization had their own name. Dummy was called Bunny, and she was the fiercest Crimsontail.

“Is her death related to the Charon Military School? Did their training cause Dummy to have a heart attack during

the competition? Or did they give Dummy something to trigger her heart disease just to win the competition?” Emma expressed all her doubts in a moment of anger.

“Boss, relax. Charon Military School is a reputable institution. Let’s investigate thoroughly. There could be someone else involved,” Josiah suggested. “I’ve found the hospital where Bunny was taken. I’ll send you the address. If you have some free time, you can go there and check the autopsy report. It may tell you something.”

“Okay.” Emma gradually calmed down and hung up.

At this moment, she heard a click outside the female washroom!

“Who!” Emma quickly opened the door cautiously, only to find a familiar face outside.

Riley has tanned skin. Right now, she looked calm. “Don’t worry, I didn’t hear much. I’m not interested in anything other than competing for first place.” With that, she headed to the sink to wash her hands.

Emma narrowed her beautiful eyes. She was not sure how much Riley had heard, but to find out the truth, she had

to be cautious.

When Emma returned to her seat, the second course had been served. She composed herself and hugged Liam from behind, whispering in his ear, “I’m back.”

“Come and try it. It’s your favorite foie gras with blueberries,” Liam said.

“Okay.” Emma returned to her seat.

It was a warm and romantic dinner.

At night, Emma checked the information sent by Josiah on Icovine Estate’s computer. It showed that Justine’s autopsy report was at a private hospital in Troln City.

Emma looked up the address of the private hospital, which was about 40 minutes away from Icovine Estate. She said to Liam, “I’m going out tomorrow.”

Liam picked her up a

placed her on the table. Standing in front of her, he asked, “For how log?”

“It won’t be long.” Emma lowered her head and rubbed the tip of her nose against him. “I know I am not often home and I should spend more time with you. I am sorry. I’ll cook for you when I come back and never go out again, okay?”

Liam hugged her and nodded. “Okay. If you need help, let me know.”

“Okay.” As Emma spoke, she gently kissed his thin lips. “I want a kiss.”

The man chuckled deeply and pulled her closer, their breaths mingling. Emma wrapped her arms around his neck

as he carried her to the bed.

The next day, Emma went to Saint Maria Hospital alone.

With the assistance of the hospital director who operated on Lane’s Grandpa previously, she got Justine’s autopsy report easily.

Everything was recorded in detail. There were also clear photos in the file.

Emma flipped through the pages with trembling hands.

‘Dummy… she repeated the name silently.

When she saw those photos, she closed the documents with a whoosh! “Who was… by her side when she was sent

here?”

The staff shook his head. “It’s been so long. We can’t remember the details.”

Emma asked, “Who else has seen her autopsy report over the years besides me?”

“No one else,” the staff answered.

Emma clenched her teeth, pondering, ‘The report states that Dummy died from a sudden heart attack. But Dummy had no history of heart problems! The forensic report showed no signs of drug abuse! Autopsy reports are usually accurate, so what was the problem?”

The situation had reached a stalemate. Emma left the archive room and walked down the corridor in a daze.

Suddenly, the sound of high heels approached, and someone blocked her path. “Hey, I was wondering who it was. Is your boyfriend not with you today, or did he dump you?”

It was the woman who harassed Liam at another hospital when she was there with Harry.

Emma looked at her coldly. “Get lost!”

However, the woman refused to stop. She even reached out and pushed her. “Stop putting on airs.”

Emma was feeling gloomy. She clenched her fists in her sleeves.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

As she raised her hand, a figure suddenly stepped forward and pushed the aggressive woman away. “Get away from her!”

The person who arrived was Bob, whose handsome face appeared cold and frosty as he stared at the woman in front of him.

The woman sneered at Bob, saying, “You seem to be popular with men. Last time, you had a sugar daddy, now you

got a puppy.”

Emma was already in a bad mood today due to Justine. If it wasn’t for Bob’s timely appearance just now, she would have attacked the woman.

The woman left in disappointment after mocking Emma.

Bob turned to Emma with concern, noticing her clenched fist. “Are you okay?” he asked.
