Chapter 18 He is my uncle
They looked at each other without saying a word.
After a while, the female doctor walked in with Medical Risk Notification.
She said to Sean, "have you notified her family to sign?"
Before Sean spoke, Emma already said, "he is my family, he is my uncle!"
Sean's face expression changed.
The female doctor also stunned, and then laughed, "why don't I know you are my daughter?"
What? !
Emma was a little confused...
Finally, Sean got up from the chair, took the Notification, and said, "never mind, I am signing it..."

Several infusion bottles were strung together, and the drops flowed into her blood vessels little by little.
After adjusting the monitoring equipment, the nurse on the side said to Emma, “you must know that acute pancreatitis can be fatal, especially for people like you who have suffered liver damage before. Remember, from now on you cannot eat or drink anything until you get the doctor’s permission, otherwise you will be in danger..."
Emma's face was still pale with her widened eyes, then she asked, "how long will it take?"
The nurse smiled secretly, "at least 3 days."
If it was in normal times, she would surely jump up from the bed.
She looked incredulous, "I will starve to death!"
The nurse pointed to the 2000ml saline water and said with a smile, "there is no way, you can only rely on microelement to maintain what your body needs. This is the only way to treat pancreatitis no matter where you are in China."
Faced with the dissension, Emma could only stare.
After advising her, the nurse gave him a quick glance before leaving. She was shy and blushed.
Unfortunately, Sean did not have eye contact with her at all.
——————
Emma leaned on the hospital bed and browsed miroblog with her mobile phone. But she kept secretly glancing at Sean who was sitting aside.
she couldn't help but mutter in her mind, Sean was too perfect, deep eyebrows with angular facial features. His five sense organs were charming, plus his special identity...If he smiled, that would be too good to be true...
Sean got up and walked to the door.
Emma threw the phone in her hands and asked nervously, "where are you going?"
Sean turned around, looked back at her, then said calmly, "go out and smoke."
Emma still didn’t feel easy, staring at him tightly with her big eyes, and asked uncertainly, "Then are you coming back?"
"..."
Sean did not answer, but after watching her silently for a while, he nodded.
...
It was late at night.
Sean stood at the door alone, lowered his head and had a cigarette in his hand.
Someone came from behind, and the sound of footsteps stopped beside him.
It was his sister-in-law Julia Fletcher.
After Sean turned his head and took a look, he turned around.
Julia took off the doctor's coat and put on a long coat of hematoxylin color.
"Sean, who is that kid?"
Julia's bright eyes sparkled in the night, and she looked at Sean seriously.
Sean took a deep breath, avoiding her sight, and said, "sorry, your trip back to Australia has been delayed."
Julia smiled, looked away, and stood in a row with Sean, looking out the gate of the hospital.
"You have the same temper as your elder brother. If you don't want to answer, you will change the subject calmly... As everyone knows, I haven't even had a chance to quarrel with him over the years."
Sean was silent, looking down at the cigarette in his hand.
Julia laughed at herself, said, "that kid is so pretty, and her beauty reminds me of an old friend."
"Old friend?" Sean raised his head and looked at Julia.
Julia did not have eye contact with Sean, and said to herself, "If it wasn’t for her age, I would consider she is my old friend..."
After finishing her words, she sighed and patted Sean's shoulder a few times, "Okay, that’s it. I have to catch an early morning flight at 6 o 'clock. Now I have to leave for the airport."
Sean extinguished the cigarette, and said, "Let me drive you there."
Julia shook her head, looked at the hospital, and said, "No, you should stay and take care of her. I can call a taxi by myself."
Sean said nothing, and watched her leaving the hospital.
...
When he returned to the ward, Emma was already asleep, leaning on the head of the bed.
Sean stood in front of the bed, looking down at her.
Emma slept in a very awkward posture, with long soft hair and sweats sticking on one side of her cheeks, holding her phone in one hand, and pressing against her stomach with the other hand to relieve pain.
Sean bent over, gently picked her up, preparing to lie her down.
The she clamped her hand on his waist and muttered, "Don’t be naughty, Ivan. I have a part-time job tomorrow morning..."
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her arm on his neck. She didn't even open her eyes. She raised her head and kissed his lips gently.
Sean paused as he was holding her, and she also took the opportunity to loosen her arm, curled up and lied on the bed, muttering herself, "just one kiss, don't be naughty..."
Sean was speechless.
It took a long time for Sean to straighten up. He thought it was unbelievable.
The unexpected soft kiss seemed to remain at his mouth. And he even did not try to avoid that kiss.
Emma's mobile phone vibrated and rang, and then he picked it up from her pillow.
Sean glanced at the name of the caller, and then he already frowned unconsciously.
"Emma, where are you? Why don't you answer my call?" Ivan's voice came from the phone...
Sean was quiet for a moment, picked up the phone and walked to the window, then stand still.
"Emma, why don't you speak?"
"She is asleep..." Sean said calmly.
Ivan was silent for a second, and then asked, "Who are you? How come Emma is with you so late?"
"Rather than asking me, it's better to ask herself when she wake up. What do you think? Mr. Barnes..." Sean said coldly.
There was complete silence on the other end of the phone.
Sean lowered his eyes, glanced at the phone indifferently, then hang up the call directly.
He didn’t know why he was a little irritable at that moment.
...
Early in the morning.
When Emma opened her eyes, Sean was no longer there. Instead, Joey, who in a red coat, was sitting by the bed.
Joey lowered his head to play mobile games, didn’t notice that Emma had woke up.
Emma moved, stretched out her hands to touch her pancreas. It seemed that it was not so painful.
Hearing the sound, Joey also raised his head.
"Are you awake?"
Joey put the phone aside and walked towards the bed.
Emma nodded weakly, and said "why are you here?"
