Chapter 695 The Wraith Petal
Henry halted in his tracks due to shock.
I remember seeing this lady when I ran into Kendra and Quincy at the hospital. She even took Kendra’sside and helped her when I was talking to Kendra.
Back then, the Ryker Group’s CEO, Abel Ryker, was there as well. He said that the lady was his wife…
Henry gasped inwardly. He was in a state of bewilderment.
How did Abel Ryker’s wife end up here in the Imperial Palace? She’s even sustained an injury and lostconsciousness.
Is it possible that I’ve made a mistake? I’ve only met Abel Ryker’s wife once, after all.
“Why are you just standing there?” Adam still had his mask on. “Hurry up and treat her!”
“Understood!” Henry snapped to his senses and started examining the wound on Emmeline’s head.
After administering the anesthetic drug, Henry cleaned and stitched up the wound carefully. Hemanaged to get the entire procedure done in less than thirty minutes.
After he had completed the task, Henry excused himself. On the other hand, the nurse was connectinga drip to Emmeline’s hand.
Adam stared at Emmeline’s face for the longest time. Even though there were shadows under her eyesand her lips were pale and dry, Adam still found every part of Emmeline’s face beautiful and adorable.
“The two of you can leave now.” He waved his hand dismissively at the maid and the nurse.
Those two ladies gave a slight bow and exited the room.
“Emmeline, you’ve finally come back to me.”
Adam muttered in a barely audible voice as he focused his gaze on Emmeline’s face.
He slowly traced the outline of her face with his finger. Adam could hardly suppress the smile on hisface.
I’ve been yearning to touch her like this all this time. Now, I finally have her within my grasp.
I’m glad I saw the news that was released by Benjamin. If I hadn’t questioned Alana and found her thisquickly, Emmeline might have been in grave danger!
Just then, Adam recalled the phone that he had found at the dungeons.
It seems like Evelyn is involved in Emmeline’s abduction this time as well. That woman does not knowwhen to stop!
I gave her a fair warning last time!
However, the punishment for Evelyn is the least of my concerns now. More importantly, I need to find away to keep Emmeline by my side.
It’s been one of the greatest regrets of my life when I failed to make Emmeline mine through theCanary Project.
Who knew that fate would bring this lovely little thing back to me in such an unexpected way?
Luck must be on my side this time!
A thought came to Adam’s mind at that very moment.
I think I’ve found the perfect way to make Emmeline stay with me for the time being.novelbin
Firstly, I need to contact Mr. Ywain from Sunny Avenue and get his help.
Adam took out his phone and dialed Mr. Ywain’s number. A brief moment later, Mr. Ywain picked up.
“Mr. Ywain, did you enjoy the tea I sent you last time?” Adam asked in an amiable tone.
“Of course!” Mr. Ywain replied, “I can’t thank you enough for the considerate gift, Mr. Adam.”
“It is my pleasure.” Adam continued, “By the way, I have a favor to ask.”
“I’m all ears, Mr. Adam,” Mr. Ywain responded.
“I’m looking for a very specific drug.” Adam explained, “I need something that could make a person losewe their sense of sight temporarily, yet at the same time, it doesn’t cause any harm to the human body.Do you happen to know how to make a drug like that, Mr. Ywain?”
“As a matter of fact, I do!” Mr. Ywain went on, “I’ve stolen a book from the Adelmar family in the past,and I remember reading about a drug that fits your description in the book. It’s called the Wraith Petal.”
Adam was absolutely exulted. “How long will it take for you to make the drug?”
“I have some ready–made ones here. You can have your men come and pick them up at my place,” Mr.Ywain replied.
“Excellent! I’ll send my men along with the payment to you right away!” Adam could hardly hide hisexcitement.
An hour later, Adam received the Wraith Petal in a small jar.
The Wraith Petal was a powdered form drug. Adam opened the jar and detected the distinctive smell ofthe Wraith Petal.
As per the instructions included with the jar, Adam scooped some powder into a ceramic plate, then heheated up the powder with a small burner.
When puffs of smoke started rising from the powder, Adam ordered a maid to gently lift Emmeline’seyelids.
Then, he blew the smoke in the direction of Emmeline’s face…
