âTo the hospital, of course!â Benjamin said impatiently, âDidnât you hear that Emmeline went to the hospital?â
âButâ¦â Janie wondered. âWhy did you call her Ms. Louise?â
Benjamin shook her hand away. âNothing.â
Sam echoed, âYeah, itâs nothing. Sometimes we even call her Dear Emma.â
âDearâ¦â Janie swallowed the following words and followed Benjamin out of the cafe.
When they opened the door, they saw Emmeline cross the road alone. Her face was a little pale, and her expression was listless.
Benjamin rushed down the steps and grabbed her. He checked on her condition and asked, âDear Emma, are you okay?â
âIâm fine.â Emmelineâs eyes widened. âWhatâs the fuss about?â
Benjamin said anxiously, âI warn you, if you do something dangerous and donât tell me again like last night, Iâll send you back!â
âIâm too lazy to talk to you.â Emmeline waved. âDidnât I just drink some wine? I didnât sleep well. Iâll be fine after I sleep.â
âYou wonât go to the hospital if youâre fine! Why didnât you call me when you went to the hospital?â
âI had a headache and fainted from the pain. I didnât know who sent me to the hospital.â
âHow did you dial the wrong number for Abel? Was my number not working?â
Emmeline was rendered speechless by Benjaminâs words and finally answered, âHow do I know?â
Janie said next to her, âBut Emma, you scared Mr. Benjamin to death, and he wanted to go to the hospital to look for you.â
Emmeline finally had time to look at Janie. She glanced at Benjamin again, then asked happily to Janie, âAre you two in love?â
Janie blinked her eyes shyly. She wanted to be with Benjamin, but her dream had not come true.
Benjamin was startled when he heard that. âMs. Louise, donât say nonsense!â
I donât like Janie!
âWhatâs wrong with being together?â Emmeline refuted him, âYou didnât steal or rob her anyway.â
Janie blushed. She lowered her head and pinched her fingers.
Benjamin turned around angrily. He took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke. But after thinking a while, he put it back for fear of choking Emmeline.
Sam, who saw Emmeline coming back, also came out. She reached out to hold Emmeline.

Sam, who saw Emmeline coming back, also came out. She reached out to hold Emmeline.
âAre you feeling better? Does your head still hurt?â
âIt doesnât hurt anymore.â Emmeline rubbed her forehead.
âJust a little dizzy.â
á
âIâll help you upstairs to rest.â
âHmm.â Emmeline nodded. She wanted to catch up on sleep as her mind was not clear.
Benjamin said, âSam, remember to ask Daisy to cook some supplements for Emma.â
âYes, Mr. Benjamin.â Sam walked into the cafe while supporting Emmeline.
âIâll send some nutrition later,â Benjamin added while opening the glass door.
âOkay, Mr. Benjamin!â Sam replied.
Benjamin closed the glass door and looked back. Then, he saw Janie staring at him blankly.
âWhatâs wrong with you? Why are you staring at me?â Benjamin asked helplessly.
Janie opened her mouth but did not say anything. She could see Benjamin had a different and deep feeling for Emmeline.
It made Janie feel a little unconfident.
Just as Benjamin and Janie left, Abel arrived.
He parked his car, took Emmelineâs breakfast, and strode across the road into the cafe.
*
As soon as Sam cared for Emmeline upstairs, she saw Abel enter like an angry lion. He even brought a packed breakfast.
Sam was stunned.
âI just want to make sure whether Emma is back.â Abelâs voice was full of bone-piercing coldness.
âYes, sheâs back.â Sam nodded hastily.
âIs she all right?â
âUnscathed.â
âThatâs good. This is for her!â
Abel put the breakfast on the table, opened the glass door, and left in the cold wind.
Sam felt confused. What happened to Ms. Louise and Mr. Abel?
