Abelâs words left Scott in shock, and his throat tightened. âAbel, what are you talking about? Itâs all nonsense!â
âI canât disclose the details of this nonsense,â Abel sneered. âYou can ask your daughter about it later.
Iâm busy, so please leave!â
âAbel, Scott panicked. âPlease donât fire Alana, I beg you!â
He paused for a moment, not wanting to resort to extreme measures.
He picked up the landline and called the HR department. âDemote Alana from the position. of Deputy Finance Director and transfer her to the warehouse for safekeeping!â
Scott was dumbfounded.
As noon approached, Abel returned home.
He prepared Emmelineâs favorite dish and packed it in a box. Then, he drove to the city hospital.
As he had mentioned, no one else could take care of this lady.
He knew her culinary preferences, what she couldnât eat, and only he had the patience to cook for her.
Benjamin: had already left, and Luca was dutifully guarding the ward.
Since the day Abel met him, he had known Emmeline.
It had been five or six years, and this lady had grown up under his watchful eyes.
Seeing Emmeline injured at this moment, Luca felt indescribably sad and distressed.
âYou can go back,â Abel said to Luca. âCome back when Iâm busy.â
Luca nodded and gently patted Emmelineâs check. âEmma, Iâm leaving for now. Let me know what you want to eat, and Iâll buy it for you.â
Emmeline nodded slightly and weakly smiled. âThank you, Luca.â
The infusion had already finished, and she only had a mild concussion. She couldnât move around freely.
Emmeline lay there quietly.
Abel silently arranged the dish, intending to feed her.
Emmeline didnât speak, but tears were already streaming down her face.
âEven if we take it back, Iâm still your brother. Canât you even accept me as your brother?â Abel said.
Emmeline remained silent.
âBe good and eat. Benjamin said you lost a lot of blood. How can you recover if you donât eat?â
Emmeline opened her mouth slightly and swallowed the porridge in the spoon, tears falling.
It took a full forty minutes to finish the meal.
Abel used tissues to wipe her mouth and wipe away her tears.
After packing up the meal box, he held Emmelineâs hands with both hands and pressed them against his forehead.
âEmma, nothing happened last night. Whether you believe it or not, I canât explain it anymore. All I can say is sorryâ
Emmeline turned her head aside. âYou should go back. Iâm tired and want to take a nap!
Tl stay here and watch over you!â
âI donât need to take an injection this afternoon. Besides, the nurses can take care of me,â she said.
âYou should go back to the office in case of an emergency.â
âNo need to chase me away, Emma. Abel pressed his lips against her hand. âFortunately, nothing serious happened. Otherwise, I would be in trouble today, and there would be no talk of the company.â
However, the cityâs safety supervision bureau conducted a routine inspection in the afternoon, and Abel had to return.
In the evening, Abel prepared a meal and returned to the hospital.
Not long after, Sam also arrived.
The business in the two boutique wards was especially busy, and Sam was overwhelmed and needed to restock.
Unfortunately, at this critical moment, Emmeline had an unexpected accident.
âIâll stay here with Emma tonight, Sam said. âAbel, you should go back first.â
Abel knew he couldnât argue with these two ladies, so he reluctantly nodded.
He bent down to kiss Emmelineâs cheek, but she calmly turned away.
His face darkened, and he walked away gloomily.
The house by Glazer Lake was under renovation and would be completed in about seven or eight days.
Abel walked to the house and opened the door.
The decoration style leaned toward Elbonian, with ivory white as the main color.
The furniture ordered was Elbonianâstyle Estan When everything was ready, he would personally hang up their wedding photos.
Thinking about that scene, Abel felt a sense of joy.
He hoped Emma would like it too.
But now, how should he tell Emma?
How could he make her accept that he had prepared a home for her?
Abel sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, and took out the diamond ring.
The ring sparkled under the light, just like Emmelineâs smiling eyes.
âEmma, how can you not believe me?â Abel said to the ring. âYou know Iâm not that kind of person. You should trust me.â
âEven if youâre engaged to Albus Zeller, although it hurts, I wonât do anything to betray you. I know youâre trying to save your mother, waiting for her condition to improve, so I wonât blame you, let alone betray you. Emma, Iâm here talking to you. Can you hear me?â
