âAbel, come quickly!â Albus urgently exclaimed, âMaxwell had a sudden stroke, and heâs in the hospital now!â
âWhat?â Abel stood up abruptly and exclaimed, âWhich hospital? Whatâs the situation?â
âAltney Steel Central Hospital. Theyâre currently undergoing rescue efforts!â Albus said, âItâs just Kimberly and me here. There are not enough people here. Hurry up!â
âAlright! Hang in there, Albus. Iâll be there right away!â Abel responded.
âWhatâs going on? Is something wrong, Abel?â Alana asked.
âMaxwell is in the hospital, and itâs an emergency! I have to go right away!â Abel replied.
âIâll go with you and help out Alana volunteered.
Before Abel could agree, she had already jumped into the car. âGet lust. I donât need your help!â Abel chided.
However, Alana ignored him and remained in the car. With that, Abel gave in and drove toward the hospital.
The car sped off and soon arrived at Altney Steel Central Hospitalâs emergency center.
âAbel!â Albus rushed over. âYouâre here; Maxwell is still being treated!â
âWe spoke on the phone at noon today, so how did this happen so suddenly? Alel asked.
âI went to his house this afternoon, and I saw him lying unconscious on the ground, so I came to the hospital with him,â Albus replied.
âWhy did you go to his house?â Abel frowned.
Albus lowered his head. âI went with my colleague, Sophia. I wanted to tell Kimberly about me and Emmaâ¦
âSo, itâs because of you that Maxwell had a stroke!â Abel grabbed Albus by the collar.
âNo!â Kimberly intervened. Iâm grateful to Albus for coming in time. I was so terrified that I didnât even know to call 911. If it wasnât for Albus, Maxwellâ¦
Hearing that, Abel reluctantly let go of Alliusâ collar. âThen, thank you this time!â
âNo need to be polite. Weâre all family, after all!â Albus was rather embarrassed.
Who said youâre family with us? Havenât you caused enough trouble for our family? Abel thought, but he restrained his anger and asked, âDid you inform Emma?â
âI was just about to tell her,â Albus replied and started tapping on his phone.
âDonât make her worry needlessly!â Abel gritted his teeth. âOnce Maxwellâs condition stabilizes, Iâll go pick her up!â
âAlright then. I didnât consider that.â Albus nodded, âYou have nothing to do here, so leave!â Abel dismissed him and felt disgusted just looking at him!
âAh!â Albus raised his eyebrows in confusion. âShould I leave just like that?â
Do you still want to spend the New Year here? Abel glared at him.
âWell, alright thenâ Albus awkwardly nodded. Abelâs aura was too overpowering, which intimidated Albus.
âAlbus, you should return, Kimberly said to Albus. âYou can come back and discuss the engagement with Emma after Maxwell has recovered!â
âYes, yes, alright!â Albus quickly nodded upon hearing that.
Damn it!
Abel thought to himself, why is James still dragging things out?! Get rid of this damn thing for me quickly!
The doors of the emergency room opened, and a doctor came out and asked, âWho is the patientâs family member?â
âMe!â Abel stepped forward. Tm here!â
âThe patient was treated in time, so thereâs nothing major. He will be transferred to a regular ward.
Come and sign here,â the doctor explained.
Abel was about to follow the doctor inside when the doctor said, âLeave your phone outside and put on sterile shoesâ
âAbel, let me take care of it.â Alana hurriedly approached. âGive me your things!â
With that, Abel coldly handed his phone to Alana.
After the automatic doors of the emergency room closed, Abelâs phone happened to ring.
Alana looked and saw that it was a call from Emmeline.
Emmeline probably finished her work and returned to Ryker Group but couldnât find Abel.
Alana hesitated for a moment, then declined the call. Afterward, she turned off the phone.
After thinking for a moment, she took out her own phone and turned it off as well.
After taking such measures discreetly, Alana let out a cold smirk.
On the other hand, Emmeline held her phone and stared blankly. Where did Abel gor Why is his phone turned off?
Landon, the head of the finance department, said that Abel left with Alana, but she couldnât fathom why Alanaâs phone was also turned off when she called using the landline.
Emmeline heart sank as she sat in Abelâs spacious office chair.
She picked up her phone and dialed Abelâs number repeatedly, but it had been turned off.
She then used the office deskâs landline to dial Alanaâs number, but it was still turned offâ too!
What would they be up to if they were really together and both of their phones were turned off?
