Female Novel
Chapter 114
Quentin said, “Ms. Lane, you shouldn’t be so emotional. You nearly died in the ordeal, and it took us alot of effort to save you. Being sad and not eating your meals isn’t good for your health. We’d behelpless to do anything if your condition worsens!”
Oscar frowned. “That won’t do! You can tell me all your problems, Alana. Did that Abel brat make yousad again?”
“But Grandfather, I didn’t manage to save Abel’s baby. If he’s angry at me, it’s because I deserve it,”Alana said.
“He wouldn’t dare! You’ve already given birth to a child for him, and you injured yourself because youwere only trying to save him, no, save me as well! If Abel dares to be angry at you, I’ll break his leg!”Oscar said.
“Boo hoo hoo.” Alana covered her face. “Thank you for being on my side, Grandfather.”
“You don’t have to worry,” Oscar said. “I’ll tell that brat to propose to you first. We can hold the marriageonce you’re feeling better!”
“But… Abel is always together with Emmeline. I’m sure he was at her house last night too. He doesn’tcare about me at all.”
“That insolent brat! I’ll get him to come over right now!”
“But Grandfather… do you think Abel would be mad at me if he found out I’m complaining about him toyou?”
Oscar was furious. “I’ve nurtured that brat since he was a boy. If he dares to disobey me, I’ll disown himand remove him from his position in the Ryker Group!”
Adam was standing outside the door. He smiled when he heard that.
I’m waiting for your decision, Abel! Hahaha!
Meanwhile, at the café, Abel suddenly sneezed while he was having his breakfast.
“Did you catch a cold?” Emmeline remembered she had stripped him naked the night before, and hewas exposed for some time.
“No.” Abel put his cutlery on the table. “I need to go to the hospital. Grandfather’s subordinate calledme again.”novelbin
Emmeline slightly lowered her head. “You should go then. Is Alana feeling better?”
“She’s…”
Abel thought of what Cristopher told him. “I’ll tell you later.”
“Mm. Take good care of her,” Emmeline added.
“… I know.” Abel nodded.
Emmeline went to the kitchen counter and brought some lunch boxes.
“This is for Luca and the bodyguards. They’ve been waiting in the parking lot for an entire night.”
Abel gazed into her eyes. He did not know what to think.
Emmeline had always made him feel secure, but he did not know how to return to her side.
Emmeline forced a gentle smile. “You should go. I need to prepare breakfast for the triplets, so I can’tsee you off.”
Abel stood there for a while before leaving through the door.
As Emmeline listened to Abel’s footsteps walking down the stairs, tears welled up in her eyes andblurred her vision.
Did Alana manage to come between the both of us?
By the time Abel got to the hospital, Adam had already left.
Oscar was sitting sternly on the sofa next to the bed.
His assistant was pulling a long face as well.
Alana covered her head with the blanket. No one knew if she was asleep or only pretending.
“Ahem,” Abel coughed deliberately.
Oscar slowly turned his head to look at Abel and said, “Fancy seeing you here.”
Abel said, “Grandfather. I had too much to drink last night, and I…”
Alana suddenly opened her eyes.
Abel was drunk last night, and he went to Emmeline’s house, and they…
“Oh,” Alana moaned in agony.
“Check on her!” Oscar commanded sternly.
Abel went to the bed and asked, “How are you feeling, Alana?”
