Female Novel
Chapter 393
“I don’t know what he’s up to either,” Julianna said. “He came here in a hurry, took what he needed,and left.”
Abel’s expression turned grim.
Adam was a man who knew how to scheme and was insidious and cunning.
His actions of taking the medication Emmeline had prepared meant that he was targeting her.
He believed the medicine was non-toxic and harmless. Even if Adam tried, he wouldn’t be able to doanything.
So, what exactly is he after?
It’s just medicine to treat a condition. What use does he have for it?
“Come on, Emma.” Abel held her by her shoulder. “We got it delivered. We should get going.”
“Okay.” She handed the package to Julianna and followed Abel out of the ward.
“I don’t know what Adam is planning.”
Abel was also on guard. “You should be careful. Don’t get close to him.”
“I know.” She nodded. Burden weighed her heart.
Adam shouldn’t have gone out of his way to take the medicine.
“Tell me if anything happens, Emma. Don’t make rash decisions on your own.”
“I know.” She took his arm as they approached the elevator. “There’s nothing to worry about.”

Adam took the medicine packet and headed straight for the Ryker residence.
He also carried with him a few special needles.
He was certain his grandfather would recognize them.
Oscar and the Adelmar family despised one another. This was a fact that only he was privy to.
He was also the only one among the three brothers who had a run-in with the Adelmar family.novelbin
Oscar was currently having a pleasant tea time at the table.
The old man was barely surprised to see Adam walk in. “Come join me for some tea.”
Adam sat across from him.
Oscar offered his grandson a cup of tea.
Adam took a sip after taking a thorough whiff.
“Why are you here today?” Oscar asked.
“I wanted to show you something, Grandad.”
“What is it?”
“This.” Adam retrieved a neatly packed bag of needles from his pocket and showed them to hisgrandfather.
Oscar took a closer look and frowned.
“These are the needles that belong to the Adelmar Clan, are they not?”
“It’s not Adelmar. It also does not belong to Waylon.” Adam smiled placidly.
“How is that possible?” Oscar asked. “The Adelmar Clan has no heir.”
“How do we explain these then?”
“What do you mean?” Oscar asked. “Where did you find them?”
“You probably won’t believe me, Grandad.” He smiled coldly. “These are the needles that Emmelineuses. It appeared during that banquet where the killer was at.”
“Emmeline…” That shocked Oscar. “You mean Abel’s woman, Emmeline Louise?”
“What other Emmeline? Just this one thing has turned the world upside down.”
“…”
Oscar was still in disbelief. “That’s impossible. You’re telling me the Adelmars have an heir and it justso happens to be Emmeline?”
“I didn’t believe it either,” Adam admitted. “But that doesn’t explain how she could’ve come up with aremedy for Vampire Dust.”
“I don’t believe you,” Oscar said. “Do you think she knows how to do it just because you said sheknows how to? Where’s your proof?”
Adam wasn’t going to tell him about what happened at the Imperial Palace. He changed the subject byshowing him the medication he had taken from the hospital.
“There’s also this thing here. Emmeline made this for my mother. The effect was surprisingly good!”
Oscar opened the packet to look inside.
“I don’t really know what I’m looking at but there’s someone who might.”
“You’re talking about Mr. Ywain.”
“Yes,” Adam confirmed. “I remember you saying that Mr. Ywain had also dealt with Robert Adelmarback then. He also knows esoteric medicine.”
“Makes sense.”
Oscar nodded. “We’ll go see Mr. Ywain. He’ll tell us whether or not this medicine has anything to dowith the Adelmar.”
