Chapter 1857 Emily realized Corinne and Jeremy must have had something to do with Adam being taken away.
She looked at Melinda guiltily, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Mel. I think I know what's going on, but I can't do anything. I..." "It's okay, Emily. I understand how you feel. I'd feel the sif I were you," said Melinda while patting Emily's hand.

When she wandered all those years without a place to call home, Melinda had always been there for her. Yet, when Melinda needed her help to save her family, she could not provide any...
She felt sorry for Melinda as well as Corinne. She gave Corinne away to the wrong person and made her suffer for many years. While Corinne prevailed over life's challenges and met her perfect match, they were separated for three years because of stroublemaker.
Emily was well aware she had failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother to Corinne, so she had no right to ask her to let Adam go, especially when his daughter was the one who took Jeremy away from her.
Emily felt that she was trapped in this complicated relationship. She was lost and did not know how or who to help.
"Mel, I don't know what I can do. You've helpedso much, yet I can't even do you a favor! Please forgive Moonie. She..." Melinda, not able to see how Emily blamed herself so relentlessly, hugged and patted her back. "You know me, Emily. And I know what kind of person you are, as well as your daughter and her husband. Corinne saved my life once; I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for her. I can't possibly blher for this. I know exactly what Sophia has done over the years. If now is the tfor Adam and Sophia to get what they deserve, so be it. We must all pay for what we've done, don't we? "Besides, the problems in Adam's company weren't made up. Someone exposed it in the newspapers, which means it was true. Don't worry, Emily. I'm fine. I always knew that the man I loved was far from ideal. If he's guilty of something, I'll wait for him to mend his faults. If he has to serve tin prison, I'll wait for him to cout. I have plenty of time."

Melinda stood up and gave Emily a strong, determined smile. "I can wait no matter how long it takes. Youn know how much of a fool' I can be when it comes to love! Remember the twhen you tried to talkout of marrying Adam, but I didn't take your advice and married him anyway?
That's how stubborn I am! Anyway, stop worrying about me. When I'm in love, even watertastes like honey to me. I'm sure I'll enjoy my twaiting for him." 1 "Oh, Mel, you silly girl...' Emily's heavy heart was lightened up by her optimism.
Melinda smiled. "I mean it! I'm glad that he finally sees his faults now. And he definitely should be punished for turning Sophia into such a spoiled brat! X
