Holding Emmeline, Abel hurriedly ascended to the third floor and opened the door to the room.
Emmeline was immediately taken aback..
The first thing that caught her eye was a large framed photo of herself in a beautiful white. wedding dress.
In the photo, she was smiling lightly, with bright eyes and a fairyâlike appearance.
After passing through the elegantly decorated corridor, they arrived at a luxurious living room.
The slideshow projected on the large screen wall displayed images of the two of them together, embracing and leaning on each other.
Frame after frame, the images alternated, creating a dreamlike scene.
Emmelineâs eyes filled with tears. When did he arrange all of thisâthis house and everything?
It was too unexpected, too perfect.
She loved it here.
Being here brought a sudden calmness to her heart.
Initially, she was still hesitant about returning to the house in Ryker Group.
To put Abelâs mind at ease, she would choose to go back, but when she saw that bed, she couldnât help but feel a pang of sadness!
However, Abel had taken care of everything for her.
Just as he had said amid the fire, he had given her a new home where no one would disturb her!
Emmeline threw herself into Abelâs arms, crying tears of joy.
Abel picked her up and placed her on the spacious bed in the bedroom. âHere, you are the only one in charge. I promise no one will hurt you again!â
They spent a warm and sweet night in their new home at the Sylvan Mansion.
The next day, after having pasta for breakfast, Emmeline rested in their new home while Abel went to Ryker Group.
Suddenly, Brandon called.
Abel quickly answered, âBrandon?â
âAbel, Brandon said. âHow is Emmaâs throat now?â
âThe inflammation has healed, Abel said. âBut her vocal cords have atrophied, so she canât speak at the moment.â
âI called you today to seek your opinion, Brandon said. âWhy donât you bring Emma to my place for treatment?â
âGo to your place?â Abel frowned.
âHave you forgotten that my father practices alternative medicine?â Brandon said. âWe have had similar cases to Emmaâs before.â
âHow effective is the treatment?â Abel asked anxiously.
âWith acupuncture and medication, she can be completely cured, Brandon said.
Abel was almost jumping with excitement. Iâll bring Emma over!â
âBut you need to be mentally prepared, Brandon said. âYouâll have to leave Emma here for about a month.â
âThatâs a long time.â Abelâs heart skipped a beat.
âYes,â Brandon said. âIf her vocal cords miss the treatment time, they will atrophy, and she will never be able to speak again.â
âGood.â Abel nodded. âI trust Emma with you!â
One day later, Brandon picked up Abel and Emmeline at the airport.
He drove them to the Wyatt Traditional Healing Center.
As soon as they got out of the car, a white car suddenly pulled up next to them.
The car parked, and a woman in her midâtwenties got out of the driverâs seat.
She smiled at Emmeline and said, âIf Iâm not mistaken, you must be Emmeline Louise?â
âYes.â Emmeline nodded. âHello.â
âI am Brandonâs exâwife. My name is Mia Reyes. The woman extended her hand generously. âYou are even more beautiful than I imagined.â
Exâwife?
Emmeline and Abel both gasped. Brandon got divorced?
Such a stunning woman.
Emmeline reached out and gently shook Miaâs soft hand, her black eyes showing a smile.
âAnd this is your boyfriend?â Mia looked up at Abel, her eyes filled with admiration. âHe can rival Brandon, if not surpass him.â
Emmeline glanced at Abel and smiled happily.
âDonât talk nonsense.â Brandon quickly corrected. âAbel is Emmaâs cousin.â
Mia sighed. âWhat a lucky girl to have the care of two outstanding men.â
He frowned slightly. âMia, what are you saying? They are my guests.â
Mia smiled. âYou know I mean no harm. Why are you so nervous?â
Then, she turned around and waved to Emmeline. âIf you need anything, you After saying that, she gracefully returned to the driverâs seat and drove away. can find me.â
âI apologize for the awkwardness.â Brandon scratched his head. âMia is my exâwife. We just got divorced last month, and she is still my fatherâs pharmacist.â
âShe seems to be familiar with Emma,â Abel said.
âShe has seen photos of the students and knows that I admire Emma, but Abel. Brandonâs eyes gleamed. âDonât misunderstand.â
âI wonât.â Abel smiled faintly. âMr. Wyatt, youâre a gentleman.â
