Chapter 21 Where Did the Child Come From?
Rachel's words shocked everyone standing around.
Aunt Barbara held Emma Lang's hand and exclaimed sincerely, "Really, Saint Mary hospital? It is not
easy for a doctor to secure a position in that hospital. Since when did you start working there?”
Emma looked at her father's expression and began carefully. "Recently, Aunt Barbara. I've just come
back to Rock City."
"Joseph, look at your girls. Emma is a doctor, Rachel is an actress. and it's not easy either. You raised
them so well, their mother would be proud."
Knowing that Emma had not wasted her studies over the years and that she found a good job,
Joseph's cold expression eased a bit.
Joseph looked at his daughter. Although he still had a stern face, he was no longer as gloomy as
before. He said, "Being a surgeon is a lot of responsibility, you must continuously study and improve
yourself."
Emma was so happy that her father was speaking to her, she nodded carefully. "I will, Dad."
"Oh Emma, I wish you were my daughter." Another aunty chimes in.
"That's right, having a daughter like Emma is a blessing. I liked this child when she was very young."
Aunt Barbara gives a hearty laugh.
On the other side, Rachel teased her relatives. "My sister is still single! Aunt Barbara, Uncle Jordan,
you know so many people. Help my sister to find a boyfriend."
Aunt Barbara loved playing matchmaking. "Yes, the single rate is high among doctors, but Emma is so
excellent. Don’t worry about finding a boyfriend! Leave it to your aunt."
No one noticed that Emma Lang's expression was a little awkward when it came to this matter. Mr.
Lang also frowned.
As people were chatting, a soft voice came from the periphery of the crowd.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the pink figure suddenly ran through the crowd and jumped
into Emma's arms. Her face flushed as she gasped, "Mommy, I found you!"
Emma held Natalie but all the color drained from her face.
Why was Natalie here?
The word 'Mommy' startled everyone around them and they looked at each other.
"Who is this child? Where did she come from?”
"Didn't Rachel just say Emma was single?”
"Who is the child's father?"
Emma's first reaction was to look back at her father. When she saw her father's cold expression, her This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
heart sank.
Years ago, he had cut off their father-daughter relationship and kicked her out of the family because
she refused to get an abortion. Her father also fell ill due to this and was in the hospital for six months,
recovering from a stroke.
On the side, Rachel's annoyed voice was heard. "Emma, is this the birthday present you prepared for
me?"
Emma saw the angry expression on her sister’s face. She suddenly understood why Rachel was so
kind to give her a chance to come to the party and reconcile with her father.
She didn't expect her sister to hate her to this extent. She wanted to humiliate her sister in front of her
family and friends, even though this could hurt the entire Lang family's reputation!
But she had no time to think about it as a strange male voice pierced through the crowd. "Is Miss
Emma Lang here?"
As he spoke, the man squeezed through the crowd. He was middle-aged, wearing a green vest, and
dressed as a FedEx delivery guy, and under his cap was an ordinary face that you could instantly
forget.
Emma was stunned and everyone looked at her. She could only put down Natalie and straighten up to
greet the delivery man.
"Delivery for you. Please sign it."
As he said this, the delivery person took out a thick envelope from his bag and handed it to Emma.
Rachel didn't wait for Emma to take it when she suddenly reached out and snatched it first. "Is this your
present for me? Let me take a look!”
Rachel had already snatched the envelope and tore it open in front of everyone.
Rachel's expression was startled as a stack of photos filling the envelope came out like snowflakes.
She obviously didn't expect the envelope to be so fragile, so she was a bit surprised too.
Among the scattered photos, two happened to fall in front of Emma's feet. When she saw a corner of
the photo, her mouth dropped open and all the color left her cheeks.
