Iâll listen to what you say and marry Alana.â
âAlright then,â Oscar said. âItâs decided!â
Abel was overjoyed. He could not wait to go out of the room and tell Emmeline the good news.
âWait!â Oscar stopped him. âTalk is cheap. Letâs sign a contract between us!â
âContact?â Abel did not expect that.
âWhat if you go back on your word? What should I do with Alana?â
âThat works.â Abel was confident that the Wonder Doctor could treat Alana. âWeâll sign a contract then!â
If the Wonder Doctor canât treat Alana in a month, youâll have to propose to Alana!â
âOkay!â
âIf Alana fully recovers, youâre a free man!â
âYes!â
âGive me a pen and paper!â
The assistant handed a pen and paper to Oscar. Abel hand-wrote the contract, and he and Oscar affixed their signatures on it.
That matter was settled for now.
Abel came out of the room with the contract. He was going to call Emmeline to tell her the good news.
Hold you Iâll settle the matter. See, itâs settled!
âAbel!â Adrien was waiting for him in the corridor. âYouâre done talking with Grandfather, right? Contact the Wonder Doctor now! I canât wait!â
âYeah, I remember.â Abel dialed Benjaminâs number.
At the moment, Benjamin was on the balcony of the café pushing Emmeline on the swing.
He heard from Daisy that Emmeline was in a foul mood, and he wanted to cheer her up.
Benjaminâs other phone began to ring.
That was a number exclusively for medical services. Any time that phone rang, someone was looking for the Wonder Doctor.
Not many people in the world knew the existence of that number. Any person who called that number was not a random customer.
Benjamin picked up the phone that was on a small wooden table.
He could tell from the screen that the call was from Abel.
Benjamin hesitated to answer the call.
âWho is it?â Emmeline noticed that Benjamin was not picking up.
ââ¦Abel Ryker,â Benjamin said.
Emmeline waved him away. âGo over there. I donât want to hear his voice.â
âAlright then.â Benjamin took the phone and went to a corner.
âMr. Ryker.â Benjamin kept his voice low.
âMr. York. Iâm looking for the Wonder Doctor. Itâs urgent,â Abel said.
âYou can tell me your request,â Benjamin replied.
âI have two people in need of treatment. The first is my second cousin. Heâs looking for the Wonder Doctor to treat him.â.
âMm.â Benjamin nodded.
Emmeline had already told him about what she did to Adrien earlier.
That man needs to learn how to keep his d*ck in his pants. Itâs good to let him rest for a while.
âAnd the other⦠is a woman. Sheâs suffering from gun injuries, and there are complications.â
A woman?
Benjamin knew that Abel was referring to Alana.
âMr. York, can you help me set an appointment with Ms. Wonder Doctor?â
âIâll report this to her and get back to you,â Benjamin said.
âWait,â Abel said. âCan I meet the Wonder Doctor and treat her to dinner?â
âIâm sorry, the Wonder Doctor doesnât do that. Sheâs only available for treatment.â
âAlright then.â Abel sounded dejected. âIâll wait for your reply.â
âMm. Bye, Mr. Ryker.â
Benjamin ended the call and thought of what Abel said.
He returned to the swing and pushed it leisurely.
âWhat is it?â Emmeline said lazily. The setting sun was comfortably warm.
âYou know who you disabled today, right?â
âAdrien?â Emmeline grinned. âHe needs to rest for some time. Itâll be good for him.â
âYouâre right,â Benjamin said. âThe tripletsâ father needs to stay in his lane.â
âGet lost!â Emmeline said angrily. âDonât mention that!â
Benjamin slapped himself. âIâm running my mouth again!â
âIs that all Abel wants?â
