Chapter 113
Emmeline hastily threw a blanket over him. She thought he was awake.
It would be so embarrassing if Abel found out that Emmeline was admiring his naked body.
“Emma,” Abel called out softly again and stopped moving.
Phew! He didn’t wake up!
“That was close,” Emmeline said while patting her chest. Her face was red like a tomato.
She filled up the bathtub with warm water and helped Abel sit inside. The water would dissipate thealcohol in his body.
Some time later, Abel’s complexion was better, and his breathing became regular.
Emmeline fed him some hot tea.
Half an hour later, Abel looked like he returned to normal, though he was still unconscious.
Emmeline helped him put on pajamas and tucked him into his bed.
Abel slept soundly for the rest of the night. He had not been sleeping well at the hospital for the pastfew days after all.
In the morning, he was woken up by his phone ringing.
He felt a headache creeping in as soon as he saw the name on the screen.
Alana Lane.
He tossed the phone aside and covered his head with the blanket.
The calls did not cease. Abel sighed, flipped over, and answered the call.
Alana’s weak voice could be heard. “Abel, where are you? I was so scared because I didn’t see youlast night. My wounds hurt. Won’t you come and accompany me…”
Abel said nothing as he stared blankly at the ceiling.
What should he say or do?
Emmeline opened the door. “You’re awake now. Eat your breakfast and go back to the hospital. Sheneeds you.”
Abel was shocked. It was then he realized where he was.
“Abel!” Alana shrieked. “Where are you? Why do I hear Emmeline’s voice?”
Abel said nothing and ended the call abruptly.
Alana, lying on the hospital bed, was devastated.
I’ve already done so much for him, yet he’s still with Emmeline?
She thought for a while and called Adam.
“Adam, I need Grandfather to come here for a bit.”
“What happened?”
“I need to use his authority.”
“Heheh,” Adam chuckled. “I’m happy to see Abel suffer. I’ll help you, Alana.”
After she ended the call, her doctor, whose name was Quentin Anderson, came into the room.
Alana knew that he followed Adam’s orders.
She got out of bed and said, “Dr. Anderson, Grandfather will be here soon. You have to remember whatAdam told you.”
“Of course,” Quentin said fawningly. “You nearly died, and you lost your child while trying to savehim…”
Alana nodded in satisfaction. “Mm. I’ll tell Adam to reward you properly.”
“Thank you, Ms. Lane,” Quentin said. “You are Mr. Ryker’s lover, and I will listen to everything you say.”
“I’m not Adam’s lover,” Alana smiled smugly. “Haven’t you heard? I’m the future wife of Abel Ryker, theCEO of Ryker Group!”
“Wow! I wouldn’t dare to offend you!” Quentin said sheepishly.
“So not only are you under Adam’s orders, but from now on… you have to listen to me too,” Alana saidwhile stroking Quentin’s chin with a slender finger.
Quentin felt like his heart was melting. He nodded and said, “Yes, yes, Ms. Lane!”
Oscar arrived at the ward soon. Alana hastily returned to the bed and covered herself with a blanket.
Oscar came into the room and said, “Alana, I’ve heard from Adam that you’re in pretty bad shape.”
Alana began to sob. “I’m so happy that you and Abel are safe. I’d rather die than see anything badhappen to the two of you!”
“Oh, you poor girl. We will never forget what you’ve done for us. That’s why I’m here to visit youpersonally. If you have anything you want, you can tell me, and I’ll help you however I can!”novelbin
“Boo hoo hoo,” Alana covered her face with the blanket and sobbed.
