chapter 6 Beautiful bestie

"Horacio?"
Gemma suddenly recognized Horacio when she saw him at this time.
"Horacio, is it really you? Am I dreaming?"
Gemma was so excited that she threw herself into Horacio's arms.
"Where have you been all these years? Do you know that I miss you every day? Horacio, I miss you so much!"
Gemma hugged Horacio tightly, tears pouring out, venting all the grievances and depression she had felt over the years.
Horacio's eyes were full of guilt and self-blame, and he wanted to slap himself hard.
"I'm sorry, Gemma. I've made you suffer all these years, but I swear, from now on, I will protect you and our daughter with my life and never let you two be harmed in the slightest again!"
Gemma suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of pain and despair. "I'm sorry, Horacio. I didn't protect our daughter well. Please forgive me. I really can't hold on any longer. I can only be relieved in this way. Horacio, I'm sorry…”
Horacio gently held Gemma's face. She was still as beautiful as before, but her gaze was much darker. It seemed that she had suffered a lot in the past few years.
"Be good. Our daughter is fine. She is in the next ward. She'll be fine when she wakes up."
Horacio stretched out his hand, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Gemma, for making you suffer."
"Gemma! Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
At this time, a young woman wearing fashionable clothes and carrying an LV bag suddenly walked in angrily from the door.
"Don't you know how to give me a call?"
"What can't be solved properly? Why do you have to commit suicide?"
"Do you know that I'm worried to death? Have you ever considered how I feel if something really happened to you?"
Looking at the roaring woman in front of them, a flash of guilt flashed in Gemma's eyes. "Hilary, I'm sorry. I really can't hold on anymore..."
"Don't tell me you're sorry!"
Hilary Lynch said angrily, "I don't even know how to talk to you anymore. Every time I give you money, you don't want it. You even gave me back the red packets I gave to Deborah!"
"Do you still take me as your bestie seriously? We agreed we would share blessings and hardships, but have you forgotten all about it?"
"I didn't check on you for a while, and you committed suicide. I...Oh, forget it, it's not the right time to discuss this!"
"Pack your things immediately and take Deborah with you. The car is downstairs. Let's go to Norwal City immediately!"
Gemma wondered, "Norwal City? Why do we go to Norwal City?"
"Is your mind confused by the medicine?"
Hilary stared at her and asked, "Don't you realize what had happened?"
"Deborah didn't mess with anyone, but she was suddenly snatched away! Don't you think this matter is not that simple?"
"The person behind all this must be Billmeyer Zack. He will definitely not give up. Before he acts again, pack your things and leave Junclein City!"
"Hold on!"
Horacio suddenly frowned and asked, "Billmeyer Zack? Who is he? Does he have any conflict with Gemma?"
Hilary was helping Gemma pack her things, and without looking back, she replied casually, "What kind of conflicts? It's simply a dramatic scene of the evil man trying to take over an innocent woman!"
"Billmeyer has been pestering Gemma for more than a year, and he was rejected every time. A while ago, he publicly confessed his love in the square, but after being rejected again, he felt that he had lost face."
"He also lost his patience, so he just said he would make Gemma pay the price. He is probably the mastermind behind this matter... Huh? No, who are you?"
Only then did Hilary notice there was a strange man in the room.
"I am Gemma's husband and Deborah's father."
Horacio replied. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "Where is the man named Billmeyer Zack now?"
Hilary was stunned and glanced at Gemma in confusion. After receiving Gemma's confirmation, she immediately became furious.
"What the fuck? It turns out you are the heartless man!"
"You still have the fucking nerve to come back. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for doing such a dirty thing?"
"Do you know how miserable Gemma and Deborah have been in the past few years?"
"It's been five years without catching a fucking glimpse of you. And now, finally, you reappear?"
"Get out of here quickly. I'll get fucking mad if I see you again. If it weren't for Gemma's sake, I'd have to kill you bastard!"
Hilary also knew very well what happened five years ago. It was because of that bastard that her best friend was in the situation she was in today.
"Hilary, stop scolding him. It's none of his business..."
Gemma quickly dissuaded her.
"Gemma, have you really been kicked in the head?"
"Are you still helping this bastard at this time? A scumbag like him..."
Bang!
At this time, the door was suddenly kicked open hard.
Several people walked in aggressively from outside.
When Gemma and Hilary saw the leader, their expressions changed instantly.
"Gemma, you really know how to play. I can't believe you choose death over obeying me."
"Am I, Billmeyer, that bad?"
"But the more you act like this, the more I like you!"
"Do you like to play around? Okay, then continue. I'll take my time with you and that little bastard!"
"It's just that this time, I will have people watching you 24 hours a day. In this land of Junclein City, even if you want to die, you need to get my permission!"
"Go! Arrest this woman and that little bastard, and put them in a dog cage!"
Billmeyer said coldly and angrily.
"Billmeyer, that's enough. You've already forced Gemma to death once. What else do you want?"
"I'm here today. Who dares to mess around?"
Hilary suddenly opened her arms to protect Gemma.
"Oh, isn't this Ms. Lynch? What's going on? Do you want to interfere in my affairs?"
Billmeyer looked Hilary up and down playfully and suddenly said in a cold voice, "I advise you to stay away. Otherwise, I'll make you bleed all over!"
A flash of fear flashed in Hilary's eyes, but she still gritted her teeth. "Billmeyer, this is enough! With your status, you can simply have any woman you desire. Why do you have to pester Gemma?"
"Hehe!"
Billmeyer smiled coldly. "Do I need your advice on what I should do? Get out of here!"
As he said that, he raised his hand and slapped Hilary hard on the face.
The Lynch family had some background in Junclein City, but in front of the Zack family, they were nothing more than ants.
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed Billmeyer's wrist tightly.
"Who are you? Let go of me!"
Billmeyer saw a man standing next to him and scolded him angrily.
He tried to get rid of the man's hand but realized that his wrist was firmly held as if it was being clamped by a caliper. He couldn't move.
Horacio stared at Billmeyer for a few seconds before letting go of his hand.
He replied calmly, "I am Gemma's husband. My wife needs to rest now. If you want to say anything, talk to me outside."
"Huh? Are you the damn father of that little bastard?"
"Hahahaha, this bitch keeps rejecting me just because of such a piece of shit?"
"Okay, you came just in time. Let's go out and talk!"
While he was talking, several big men behind Billmeyer stepped forward and stood on either side of Horacio, fearing that he would escape.
"Horacio, don't go with them!"
Gemma was so anxious that she almost cried.
Horacio turned around, smiled lightly, and said softly, "It's okay, I'll be back in a while."
After finishing speaking, he followed Billmeyer and others out.
