Adam turned around abruptly and saw Emmeline and Abel. He sheepishly scratched his head andsaid, "Abel, Emma!"
"Adam, Adrien," Abel chuckled. "Today, the two of you instantly became the center of attention asheroic figures. It's truly an honor for the Ryker family. Ryker's stocks have skyrocketed today."
"Well, that's fantastic!" Adam exclaimed. "Spreading positive energy is truly uplifting, and I must say,the feeling of being a hero is absolutely exhilarating. From now on, I think I'll focus my efforts onbecoming a hero."
"You should have taken me to the ward first," Adrien said. "Didn't you see a wounded soldier lyingthere?"

"That's terrific," Emmeline whispered. "Liz, did you find this accident strange?"
"Strange?" Lizbeth blinked her dark eyes. "Is it strange to have a car accident on the highway?Besides, Luna just touched that McLaren, and it's very likely she couldn't handle it. Maybe she mistookthe accelerator for the brakes?"
