Missy: Stay Away from Him!

Philadelphia is only 160 kilometers from New York.

It's a 2-hour drive.

Therefore, Missy was the first to arrive.

Medical Center.

In the ward.

"OMG!"

When Missy saw the woman lying on the hospital bed who looked exactly like her mother, even though she knew it wasn't her mother, she still gasped in surprise.

"This is Missy."

"Missy, this is your mother's cousin Beatrice Fors, and this is her daughter Emilia Fors."

Adam introduced the two parties.

Hi, Missy.

Lying in the hospital bed, Beatrice looked at Missy like this, and a surge of blood kinship welled up within her, causing her to call out affectionately.

"Hi, Aunt Beatrice."

Missy went up and hugged Beatrice familiarly, then pulled Emilia's hand. "Hi, Emilia."

Hi, Missy.

Emilia had a good impression of her cousin and greeted her happily.

"You're so beautiful."

Seeing this, Beatrice touched Missy's face, tears of joy streaming down her face. "She's much prettier than your mother was when she was young."

"Emilia is the real beauty."

Missy laughed.

Several relatives who had never met before, despite the atmosphere of life and death and Missy's high emotional intelligence, showed no barriers and were filled with laughter.

Mary Cooper and Sheldon's grandmother soon arrived in New York by plane and came to the Medical Center.

Cousins, separated in their youth, meet again in middle age, and there is bound to be a sense of excitement.

Childhood conflicts and disagreements can be laughed off.

Missy, being very perceptive, took her cousin Emilia out, leaving her mother and grandmother alone.

Adam stayed behind to answer Mary and the others' questions.

Family waiting area.

"Missy, are you and Adam very close?"

Emilia asked curiously.

"Adam?"

Missy looked at her little cousin in surprise. "You two are so close?"

"No."

Emilia felt embarrassed by her cousin's gaze. "He told my mom to call him Adam, so I just followed suit."

"Stay away from him."

Missy smoothed her little cousin's long hair and cautioned, "He's not a good person, especially not to a pretty girl like you."

"You mean he's bad?"

Emilia exclaimed in surprise, "Playboy? He doesn't seem like it. I feel his gaze is quite innocent, not at all like the eyes of the boys in our school."

"This is all an illusion."

Missy warned, "That's also what makes him scary. He's much more sophisticated than the boys in your school, and he's much better at hiding his true colors. You should definitely stay away from him."

Is it really that exaggerated?

Emilia seemed unconvinced.

You don't believe me?

Missy laughed and began to tell Adam's philandering stories.

The story is nine parts true and one part false.

Unsurprisingly, the fates of those girls who had intimate relationships with Adam were, for the nth time, tragic.

Emilia was completely immersed in Missy's emotionally charged narration, which sent chills down her spine.

"I never would have guessed he was this kind of person."

"Don't judge a book by its cover."

Missy laughed and said, "The more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to lie to women. Never believe their lies. I'll teach you how to recognize a man's lies and see his true colors when I have time."

"Good."

Emilia nodded.

The two bypassed the topic and continued to learn about each other's lives.

"Missy, Emilia, you can go now."

Adam came over to call them, and seeing Emilia looking at him with a strange gaze, he couldn't help but look himself over, but didn't find anything wrong. "What's wrong?"

"Fine."

Emilia avoided Adam's gaze, kept her head down, and walked around Adam toward the ward.

"Missy!"

Adam immediately understood that he had been slandered and looked at the smiling Missy.

"What's wrong?"

Missy giggled.

"What did you say to her that scared her like this?"

Adam remained silent.

"To tell the truth."

Missy laughed and said, "Tell her you're a big pervert, and she'll stay away from you."

"..."

Adam's lips twitched. "She's just a high school student. You're thinking way too badly of me, aren't you?"

"Oh, so you really considered it, but were hesitant because she's not yet an adult?"

Missy narrowed her eyes. "This plot seems so familiar... Oh, right, Paige! She was like this back then! Now can you tell me what your relationship with Paige is?"

"... You're getting more and more mischievous."

Adam said awkwardly, "Paige's incident was an accident; I never expected it..."

"Go ahead and make it up."

Missy scoffed, "I heard you have the same High-Definition Image Memory as Sheldon. I don't need to describe how beautiful Paige was in her teenage years, do I?"

Back then, you were a notorious Playboy at school. If you and Paige had never had any relationship, I would still have some trust in you.

But now, do you even believe what you're saying?

"I believe you!"

Adam said sincerely, "I'm not lying to you, I really didn't have any feelings for Paige at the time, you have to believe me."

Juno is my witness!

If Adam had actually had that thought, Juno wouldn't have let him off the hook.

"As expected."

Missy shook her head and said, "Your level is getting higher and higher. You lie to yourself first. Last time you couldn't say such things so frankly, but now you even believe yourself."

Finally, she said indignantly, "I really can't understand how Paige could fall for someone like you... What kind of look is that?"

"You really care about Paige ignoring you later."

Adam looked at Missy with a strange expression.

"Ha! Men!"

Missy regained her composure and rolled her eyes at Adam: "You can't help but think of things that way!"

As the two were talking, they arrived outside the ward. Standing outside, they looked through the glass window at Emilia sitting on the hospital bed, her hand being held by Beatrice.

Inside the ward.

"... Study hard and improve your grades. Starting next year, you'll be taking two advanced courses per semester if you want to get into a good university..."

Beatrice is instructing Emilia.

"Mom, this is a little scary."

Even the most naive Emilia understood something at this moment.

"You should listen to your Aunt Mary more often from now on."

Beatrice suppressed her grief. "Marry a good man, a man who is dutiful to his mother, and of course, if he still lives with his mother, dump him decisively."

"Mom, what are you saying? I don't want to get married now."

Emilia said in a trembling voice.

"That day will come someday."

Beatrice forced a smile and said, "When that day comes, just have a glass of champagne, and you'll have to drink water all night, because nothing looks worse than a drunken bride."

"Mom, I don't want to..."

Tears streamed down Emilia's face as she choked back sobs, speechless. "Why are you telling me all this?"

"Honey, I'm very sick."

Beatrice took a deep breath and said honestly, "The doctor said I won't get better."

With Mary's arrival, everything that needed to be said had been said, and Mary's statement reassured her. So, before going into the Operating Room for surgery, she decided to tell everyone what had happened, just in case she never came out again.

"No..."

Emilia let out a mournful cry.

"Look at me, Emilia, listen to me, this is important!"

Beatrice said, "One day in the future, you will have children, and you will feel a heavy responsibility for this little one. You will always be thinking about what to feed him, what school to send him to, whether to learn the violin or the piano."

It's normal to worry about whether you're doing the right thing.

But I'm going to tell you a secret.

None of these things matter; the most important thing is whether your child is happy.

So if I'm gone, you'll be sad, but only for a little while.

You have to promise me you won't be sad for long!

You promise?

"I promise."

Emilia nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Very good."

Beatrice hugged her crying daughter, kissed her forehead, and looked expectantly at her cousin Mary standing to the side.

Sheldon's mother, Mary, covered her mouth and nodded heavily to Beatrice.

Sheldon's grandmother sighed softly and placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder, letting her lean on it.

"See that?"

Outside the ward, Missy looked at Adam.

"Well."

Adam nodded and sighed, "I understand, stay away from her."
