Chapter 1492 Where Is The Fire Extinguisher? (2)
The next day, Emmeline received initial treatment at the Wyatt Traditional Healing Center, with Brandonserving as her attending physician.
After completing all the admission procedures, Abel returned to the 11th–floor ward. Upon opening thedoor, he saw Mia by the bedside, engaged in a pleasant conversation with Emmeline. The two girlsseemed to be surprisingly enjoying their conversation. Although Emmeline didn’t speak, her face wasfilled with a radiant smile. Witnessing her long–lost bright smile, he felt the urge to cry. This woman,whom he had loved deeply in his life, had endured so much pain because of him.
A week later, Emmeline’s condition improved, and he returned to Altney. Back at the Ryker Groupcompany, he went straight into his office.
“Mr. Ryker,” Lorren entered the office. “The fire department and police department have investigatedour fire accident.”
“What’s the conclusion?” Abel flipped through the files on his desk.
“It is preliminarily determined that a loose wire end caused a spark, igniting the safety equipment on thestorage rack.”
Abel raised his head from the files. “Would an experienced electrician make such a rookie mistake? Itcan’t be that simple.”
“The electricians have already given their statements,” Lorren said. “They also mentioned that ourcompany’s wiring has been rectified, and there are no hidden dangers.
“Then, where are the fire extinguishers?” Abel asked. “They were nowhere to be found on the day ofthe accident!”
“That day was the big cleaning day.” Lorren explained. “All the fire extinguishers were gathered in therestroom for cleaning and hadn’t been returned!”
“Who said that?”
“The warehouse supervisor on duty that day,” Lorren responded. “Perry Noel and Alana.”
“Alana?” Abel furrowed his brow.
After finishing his work, Abel returned to the company’s backyard. He noticed that Emmeline’s FordFocus was missing, so he quickly called the security department. The security department informedhim that Zahn had taken the carnovelbin
Abel immediately dialed Zahn’s phone number. It rang for a long time before Zahn finally answered.
“What are you doing?” Abel demanded, “Where is Emmeline’s car?”
“Uncle Abel, can you speak a bit softer?” Zahn whispered, “My girlfriend is right here. At least showsome respect.
“What?” Abel choked on his words. “Where did you get a girlfriend from?”
“She is the girl who learned to drive with me at the driving school. She willingly became my girlfriend!”
“Can’t you learn anything, Zahn?” Abel exclaimed in frustration. “You’ve only been here for a few daysand haven’t learned anything. Learn how to talk to a girlfriend first!”
“Well, it’s not my fault… Zahn replied. “Who would have thought that as soon as I mentioned that RykerGroup is yours, she would fall in love with me?”
“Zahn. Abel gritted his teeth. “I give you thirty minutes to bring the car back to me. Tomorrow, go yourhome!”
“Uncle Abel!” Zahn called out. “I haven’t even gotten my driver’s license yet. The exam is next month,Uncle Abel-
Abel had already hung up.
After finishing his work at the company, Abel returned to his new home, Sylvan Mansion. Landonarranged for housekeeping to come and clean up. Apart from Landon, no one knew that Abel had ahome here.
Abel sat on the floor and played the slideshow. The figure of Emmeline in a wedding dress appeared,changing in the space before his eyes, with her beautiful eyes and affectionate gaze: Abel opened abottle of beer and drank it in big gulps, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes and suddenly falling.
A week later, he returned to the Wyatt Traditional Healing Center. The door to the ward opened, and heappeared in his black shirt and black trousers, exuding dominance. Emmeline on the bed was firststartled, then jumped off the bed and threw herself into his arms.
Abel held her tear–stained face in his hands and lowered his head. His thin lips were eager to have apassionate kiss with her. In the end, he only wiped away her tears and softly asked, “Emma, are youfeeling better?”
His warm fingertips wiped away the tears on her checks, and her heart warmed. Nodding, she made aclear “Mm!” sound from her throat. A weight was lifted off his heart, knowing that his woman wasstarting to get better.
Another week quickly passed, and she slowly recovered. During this time, she began to calm down andlearn esoteric medicine from Brandon. She had a good understanding and quickly grasped theknowledge, and he even praised her repeatedly.
One afternoon, Abel was guarding Emmeline in the ward when his phone suddenly rang. Surprisingly,the caller was Benjamin. Abel quickly answered.
Benjamin asked in a low voice, “Abel, is Emma with you?”
