CHAPTER 127

　　Emerald stood up, thanking the doctor but not missing the sigh of relief that escaped from Jordan. Choosing to drill him later, she walked into the room, certain that he would be hot on her trail.

　　She moved around the stepfather and step sister pair, smiling faintly when her mother came into view. She looked utterly drained with her messy hair and the beads of sweat that had collected on her forehead, the bridge of her nose and above her upper lip, were glinting prominently underneath the room's lighting.

　　Despite how she looked like she was ready to pass out, she had a smile on her face and her eyes were sparkling and vibrant, portraying nothing but sheer happiness and when her gaze collided with Emerald's, her smile widened even more, spreading across her face.

　　Tears welled up Emerald's eyes as she finally reached her mother. “Mom,” she carefully placed her hand over her mother's, caressing her skin. “How are you doing? Are you okay? How do you feel?” she blabbered.
