Abel frowned and explained, “It hurts. It hurts so bad that my muscles are twitching.” Abel frowned and explained, “It hurts. It hurts so bad that my muscles are twitching.”
Emmeline stood up and said, “The painkiller must have worn off. I’ll go get some water and medicinefor you.”
“Can you do it?” Abel asked.
When he noticed how frail she seemed, he felt bad for her.
“I’m fine. I just lacked strength. I can still get water and medicine without a problem.”
Abel helped her get out of bed by supporting her with one arm.
Emmeline poured a cup of water, grabbed the painkillers, and returned to the bedside. Then, she gaveAbel the medication as he was sitting up in bed.novelbin
When the painkiller finally kicked in, Abel dozed off once more. Emmeline, meanwhile, was exhausted,so she curled up in his arms and fell asleep.
Alana could not stand it any longer in the living room. She raised her long dress and prepared toascend the stairs.
The bodyguard stopped her and said, “Ms. Lane, you can’t go up there.”
“Abel is my future husband, why can’t I go up there?” Alana responded while arching her delicatebrows.
The bodyguard said coldly, “I don’t care about that. All I know is that Abel is resting, and no one isallowed to disturb him!”
“Slap!”
Alana slapped the bodyguard and reprimanded, “You’ve got a lot of nerves. Don’t you worry that if Imarry Abel, you’ll be the first person I fire?”
“If Mr. Abel really wants me to leave, there is nothing I can do about it,” the bodyguard said whilecovering his face. “I have to protect him for the time being.”
“You…,” Alana was enraged and wanted to scream.
The bodyguard said, “There’s no point for you to scream. These rooms have exceptional soundproofingcapabilities. Mr. Abel won’t be able to hear you even if you scream until your lung is out.”
Alana was stunned for a while, then she sneered, “You think I have no other means?”
She reached into her handbag for her phone and dialed Abel’s number. As expected, the bodyguardwas powerless to prevent her from using her phone.
Due to the persistent pain in his wound, Abel was unable to sleep peacefully. He worried about wakingEmmeline when the phone rang. He quickly picked it up and, without even looking at the caller, rejectedthe call. Then he silenced his phone and checked the missed call, only to find it was from Alana.
Abel frowned in disgust.
When Alana saw Abel decline the call, her expression became even more unappealing. However, shewas Abel’s savior, and she knew this man would not do anything to her. So she continued to call him.
Once more, the incoming call rang. Abel got out of bed with a furrowed brow. He grabbed his phone,left the bedroom, and picked it up in the hallway.
“Alana.”
“Abel,” Alana’s ugly expression changed to a pitiful and lovely expression.
She said, “I heard you got hurt. I’m worried about you. I came to see you, but your bodyguard, he…”She said, “I heard you got hurt. I’m worried about you. I came to see you, but your bodyguard, he…”
“Are you outside the front door?” Abel asked. “If so, could you kindly go? I don’t want to see anyone.”
“I have entered the villa. I’m in the living room downstairs.”
Alana pretended to say aggrievedly, “I was standing here for a while and couldn’t breathe because ofmy poor health, and I felt anxious and upset.”
Abel was at a loss for words. He frowned.
What the hell is the security guard thinking? Why would he allow this woman inside?
He said coldly, “In this case, you should hastily return to the hospital. You shouldn’t stay here.”
Alana cried as she said, “Abel, I took a cab all the way here. Please allow me to see you. I’m genuinelyconcerned for you. I brought you some nutritional supplements. Please allow me to go upstairs. Isimply want to look at you. I promised that I just wanted to have a quick look at you.”
Abel was speechless. Abel cast a quick glance toward his bedroom and said, “Wait there. I’m comingdown now.”
Alana was overjoyed.
Abel is going to come downstairs and personally receive me?
She rolled her eyes at the bodyguard and said, “Hmph! Slave!”
The bodyguard ignored her and kept his poker face.
A cold voice was heard from the stairs, “Who gave you permission to insult my brother?”
