Chapter 118 You Are No More My Slave

• I overestimate my ability to stand the pain. I rush to the bathroom with the new dress in my hands. I change into it quickly so that I can stop the scream in my mouth. Then I clean my face and my hands and walk back to Cody’s room. To be honest, I do not want to stay here, but I bet Cody will not let me go back to my room since I am injured.
• “Ah...” Suddenly, I let out a cry in pain. I was absent minded thinking about Cody’s reaction when I would say I wanted to go back to my room, so I did not notice that there was a little stair by the door to the bedroom. I tripped on the end of my dress, tumbling to the ground. The pain from the knees stimulates the pain in the back. It is so painful. Cody rushes towards me when he hears my scream. "Emelia! Are you OK?" Cody yells sounding concerned when he hears my cry. I raised my hand to look at him. It is too awkward to tell him the truth.
• "I am fine," I reply back in a strained voice. I slowly got up off the floor with his help. I have not even fully stood up when Cody pulls me into his hard chest. "Are you OK?" He asks with a concerned look on his face. I let out a small giggle at how worried he looks even though my back is still hurting. "I am fine Cody. " I say as I bite my bottom lip trying to hold in my laughter. "What's so funny, Emelia?" He asks when he notices me trying to hold in my laughter. I smile. “ I feel like I am the happiest person in this world.” Cody looks confused. “ You hurt your back and then you hurt your knees, so you are the happiest person in this world?” I shake my head and laugh. “ Of course not. I am not that stupid. I mean because you care about me, I am the happiest person in this world.”
