325 | Won’t Eat Him Alive “Emily, Emily, wake up!” Ryan kept calling Emily’s name the whole way. He tried his best to run, and it was almost dawn when he dashed to the hospital.

“Twenty minutes ago, she was stabbed in the left side of her abdomen,” Ryan told the doctor in a hurry.

The doctors took Emily into the operation room after they heard Ryan precisely detailed about the knife and her condition.

Ryan then sat motionless in the doorway for two hours, waiting. Shortly before 9:00 a.m, Anna arrived at the hospital.

When she awoke in the morning, she had a small talk with Peter and learned that Richard had been arrested by the police. She knew something had happened at the warehouse after hearing the news.

Wayne had gone to the group in the morning to discuss the situation. When Anna called him and asked aboutit, she discovered that he and Ryan had planned the whole thing.

She was enraged and yelled at Wayne, “Ryan is still a kid! Why on earth did you do stupid things with him? It’s dangerous! Why don’t you leave it to the cops?”

Wayne did not respond while she was speaking. Finally, he said, “Okay, after | finish this, I’ll go to the hospital. You can go there first. He’s not hurt, but someone from one of his groups is.”

When Anna arrived at the hospital and learned that Emily had been stabbed when defending Ryan, she became even more enraged. She yelled angrily, “Are you and Wayne both fools, Ryan?

Ryan lowered his head without saying anything. Anna pinched his arm and said, “You and Wayne are exactly the same! You start playing dumb when you do something wrong. Say something!”

Seeing that he was stil silent, Anna slammed Ryan with her purse and asked, “What are you still doing here? Get Emily some food.”

“Yes, I’ll go immediately,” Ryan responded, snapping back to attention.

Anna groaned, resigned, as she noticed his scared expression. She assumed she knew Ryan well enough to know that he was typically a logical and sensible individual. He was only nineteen, but he was more mature than his peers.

However, Anna couldn’t figure out why Ryan couldn’t manage his relationships with women. He hadn’t eaten all night and had also forgotten to get Emily something to eat. Anna shook her head, thinking, Ryan, you should’ve at least got Emily something to eat.

Emily’s surgery had been completed by the time she arrived at the hospital. Anna wasn’t rushing to go to the ward; she even bought a bouquet of flowers from the store downstairs.

When Anna walked into the ward, Emily was reading a magazine.

“Hello! | know you, you’re Ryan’s sister,” Emily greeted Anna as she looked up.

Anna smiled as she placed the flowers on the bed and said, “I’m Anna, and I’m here to visit you. You must be hungry, aren’t you?

I’ve already asked Wayne to buy you some food. He’ll be here soon.”

“Okay, thanks for coming to see me, Anna,” Emily said after a brief pause. ‘325 | Won’t Eat Him Alive adh “You’re welcome. Your name is Emily, isn’t it? | heard that you were injured when trying to save Ryan.”

Emily shook her head, then said thoughtlully, “That’s part of my responsibility. | was his commander in this exercise, thus | was responsible for his safety.”

Anna raised an eyebrow, then asked, “Oh? Is that true? It seems | misunderstood you guys. Earlier, my friend asked me to set him up ona blind date, but | declined since | assumed you two were in a relationship. I’ll phone my friend later and ask her to set up a blind date for Ryan.”

Hearing that, Emily sprang up from her bed in a panic. Anna grabbed her by the shoulders and yelled, “No! Don’t move! Your wound has not healed yet.”

Emily said anxiously, “No! Don’t do that! “

Anna teasingly chuckled, “Oh? Why?”

Emily blushed immediately and responded honestly, “Because | like him.”

Ryan opened the door just as Emily finished speaking. He came in holding a bag of cakes and didn’t appear to hear what they were saying. “What did you just say? You like what?” he asked as he set the bag on the bed.

Emily bit her lower lip and looked at him for a few seconds before saying, “You.”

Ryan froze and then remained still for a long time.

“Ryan, why don’t you respond Emily?” Anna thought they were amusing.

Ryan didn’t move as if he was frozen, and it took a long time for him to stand up straight. He shifted the topic and said, “Ah, |

forgot to buy coffee. 325 | Won’t Eat Him Alive al I’m on my way.”

Emily shouted at his back, “Stop playing dumb, you already know | like you! Otherwise, | wouldn’t have saved your life!”

Emily’s voice was so loud that she didn’t sound like she’d been stabbed and got six stitches.

Anna understood why Ryan described Emily as tough. She thought about them and figured they were built for each other; Ryan was brilliant but terrible at sports. Emily was a natural fighter, but she was also incredibly naive. The differences between them allowed them to make an adorable couple.

Emily then grumbled, “Why is he running away? It’s not like I’m going to eat him alive. Stupid Ryan! “

“You did just seem like you were going to eat him alive,” Anna chuckled, then gave Emily a thumbs up and continued, “but you did a terrific job.”

Emily didn’t appear to be in a good mood. She sighed and said, “But, he doesn’t like me at all. Anna, what kind of girl does Ryan like, anyway?”

Anna sat silent for a moment before recalling what Ryan had said. Her eyes brightened up as she remembered the talk they had had in the cafe. She said, “| know! He once told me something about that!”

“Really? Come on, tell me.”

Anna couldn’t recall what they had said, but she remembered Ryan’s last words because they were so unbelievable. “He said he loved girls who are like his mother,” she said firmly.

Emily’s eyes widened in surprise, and she stammered, “What? Ah!

His... his mother? | wasn’t expecting him to have an Oedipus complex. Isn’t that a little nerverted? “
