Alpha's replacement bride is destined mate-Chapter 228 Do you remember this photo?

The car rolled gently along the ice-covered road. Emily peered through the window. The sky and the ground were white. The snow was getting heavier and heavier.

Emily averted her eyes, and she looked absently at Klaus, who was in the passenger seat, and who was looking at her through the car’s rearview mirror.

Emily lowered her eyes and deliberately avoided Klaus’s burning gaze.

Presently the car pulled up outside a hotel. Klaus got out and opened the door for the two women. Emily had just got out of the car when a blast of cold air, mingled with snowflakes, struck her, freezing and stinging her face.

Klaus immediately took off his coat and threw it over Emilie, shielding her from the cold wind and snow with his tall body.

They went into the hotel, and Marx had the hotel manager prepare a suite for Emily and Dolly. As they rode the elevator to the door of their room, Marx said to Emily, " Klaus and I will be in the room next to yours, so call us if you need anything."

Emily nodded. She then takes her room pass and points it at the door sensor, and the room door opens and then closes.

" It’s too cold for this weather." Dolly turned on the heating unit by hand and she asked Emily, " Do you need a hot shower?"

"I want to rest for a while." Emily sat down on the black leather sofa, and she took off her jacket and laid it aside.

" How did your talk with Klaus go?" Dolly asked casually.

"Klaus wants to take care of me and the baby." Emily said, " He wants to be with me."

" So what do you think?" Dolly asked tentatively as she sat down next to Emily, "Will you get back together with Klaus?"

Emily sighs softly, " I don’t have feelings for him."

" Maybe it’s just temporary." Dolly reassured, " Maybe one day you’ll get your memories back, and you and Klaus will be just like before."

" What were we like before?" Emily asked.

" You and Klaus..." Dolly paused for a moment, then she took Emily’s hand and said, " Even if you had some arguments, it was always Klaus who was the first to give in. I have seen him love you exactly as he loves you now. You used to love him just as much."

"The memories I’ve lost can only be retrieved from the mouths of bystanders." Emily smiled to herself, " Including love."

" I’m telling the truth."

"I never doubted you, Dolly." A hint of sadness passed through Emily’s eyes, " I lost my memories, I lost my feelings. I.. I do not know how to love anyone again. I don’t know...."

"Take your time, Emily." Dolly put her arm around Emily’s shoulders as she whispered reassuringly, " It’s okay. I’m sure you just need a little time."

Emily leaned against Dolly’s shoulder, the tears slowly trickling from the corners of her eyes. She wept in silence for the love she had lost.

After a while Emily at last recovered her composure. Dolly gently dries the tear tracks on her face with a tissue, then says, "Emily, go rest for a while, okay?"

Emily nodded. She was about to rise and go to her bedroom, when she saw a picture fall to the floor, and she picked it up curiously.

" Whose picture is this?" Dolly moved closer to stare at the photo in Emily’s hand, then she exclaimed, " Emily, it’s a picture of you and Klaus."

Emily saw that she was sitting on a rock with a burning firework in her hand, and that the night sky was full of stars. Klaus was standing beside her, a soft, fond smile on his lips. She looked down at the fireworks, and he looked up at her.

" This picture must have fallen out of Klaus’ jacket." Dolly said, " Do you remember anything about this picture?"

Emily gazed for a moment at the photograph in her hand. She tried to find a memory in her mind that related to the photo, but she could find none.

Emily’s eyes grew dull, like the stars in a night sky obscured by clouds. After a long silence, she whispered, " No."

............

Night fell. Klaus was sitting at his computer. He clicked on an e-mail from Dr Stephen. Inside was a medical report on Emily and an ultrasound image of the baby.

Klaus’s eyes were fixed on the baby’s ultrasound photo on the computer screen. It was the first time he had ever seen a baby in its mother’s womb.

He looked at the ultrasound picture and a warm current surged through his heart. So this is his baby.

"What are you looking at? " Marx stepped out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he used a towel to wipe the water droplets from his hair as he walked over to Klaus.

"What’s this? " Marx stares curiously at the ultrasound picture on the computer screen.

" That’s a picture of my baby." The corners of Klaus’ mouth quirked up with love in his eyes, "He’s three months old."

"Wow even, so that’s what a three-month-old baby looks like. " Marx thought it was incredible, "He looked like a little mouse."

"Watch your language. " Klaus said in displeasure, "My baby is no mouse." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Fine. " Marx casually tossed the wet towel onto the couch as he casually asked, "Since Emily is carrying your child, do you plan on marrying her?"

Klaus closes his computer as he customarily walks over to the liquor cabinet and pulls out a bottle of whiskey, " I haven’t talked to Emily about it yet."

" Why?" Marx asked suspiciously, " Do you want this baby to be a bastard?"

Klaus poured the whisky into a glass, which he shook, and then took a long sip.

" Emily says she has no feelings for me." There was a touch of pathos in Klaus’s tone.

" Is Emily in love with someone else? " Marx asked cautiously.

"I don’t know. " Klaus looked out the window at the fluttering snowflakes, his tone was firm, "But this time, I won’t let her leave me again."

"That’s the Klaus I know." Marx puts his hand on Klaus’ shoulder to encourage him, "I’m sure one day Emily will fall in love with you all over again."

Klaus looks down with a bitter smile, " Maybe."

At that moment Marx’s cell phone rang. He immediately pulled out his cell phone to answer the call. When Marx put the phone down, he looked a little uneasy.

" What happened?" Klaus asked.

" Word has come in from the border, they say that large numbers of Confederates have suddenly appeared on the border line. Prince Adam has ordered a message to be sent to you. He said that if you don’t hand over Emily, he will immediately send his troops to invade the border pack. " Marx frowned," This damn Prince Adam, what the hell does he want?"

Klaus sneered, " He must think I kidnapped Emily."

" So what do we do?"

"Tell Adam I want an interview with him. " Klaus said," You fly the helicopter and get Adam here."

"Yes." Marx immediately complied.
