Chapter 312: Chapter 313

Adrien said shyly, “Yes, I hope Emma can visit me again.”

Abel was speechless.

In Alana’s hospital ward located next door, Quentin had his hands buried in the pockets of his white coat and said in a low voice, “I saw him. Mr. Abel had entered Mr. Adrien’s room.”

Alana’s expression turned dark.

Abel would rather see Adrien than me. I’m certain he wouldn’t spare me even a glance once he left Adrien’s room. I couldn’t let Abel leave the hospital just like that.

After giving it some thought, Alana said to Quentin, “I need you to go to Adrien’s room.”

I was lost on Quentin. He kept looking at Alana because he did not want to leave her just yet. Quentin was unable to engage in an intimate relationship with her, but he was still able to look at and touch her.

Alana said, “You should do as I say. The nurse will come to get you soon.”

Quentin was still puzzled by Alana’s intention.

Alana coaxed him and said, “Please go.”

Quentin finally pinched her bottom and nodded, “Fine.”

He turned around and headed to Adrien’s room.

Abel and Adrien were chatting casually when Quentin entered the ward.

Quentin greeted Abel at once, “Mr. Abel.”

“Hmm,” Abel nodded with an icy expression.

Quentin asked, “Mr. Adrien, are you feeling better?”

Adrien replied, “Not bad. I think I’ll soon be discharged because I feel much stronger than I did yesterday.”

Quentin said, “Madame Julianna recommended that you stay for another day. Your parents are worried about you.”

Adrien said impatiently, “My mother always makes a big deal out of minor issues. You have no idea how annoying it is to lie in a hospital all day!”

Quentin was about to reply when the door suddenly pushed open. A nurse cried out to him, “Dr.

Anderson, quick. Ms. Lane is having trouble breathing again.”

Quentin was stunned. Is this what Alana meant?

“I’m coming!” Quentin cast a quick glance at Abel and rushed out of the room.

Adrien said to the sullen Abel, “Abel, you should go check on her. After all, she’s the mother of your child.”

While Abel secretly felt flustered at the mention of this, he could not pretend not to hear it.

Abel stood up sulkily and said, “Fine, I’ll go see her.”

Adrien nodded.

Quentin was administering oxygen to Alana when he got there. Alana looked much better now.

Alana thought inwardly. There was nothing wrong with me in the first place.

Quentin pretended to be concerned, saying, “It’s alright now. You’re lucky that I’m close by.”

“Hmm,” Alana looked pitifully at Abel through the oxygen mask.

Abel walked over and said hesitantly, “You’ll be fine; Dr. Anderson is here.”

“Uh-huh,” Alana nodded.

Quentin told Abel, “It’s not a big deal; just a few breaths of oxygen will do.”

“Hmm,” Abel nodded.

Alana signaled for Quentin to take off her oxygen mask out of fear that Abel would leave.

Quentin pretended to check the time and said, “Alright, I can take it off now.”

He removed the oxygen mask from Alana’s face.

“I’m much better now. I think I’m fine. Thank you, Dr. Anderson,” Alana said weakly.

Quentin played along and said, “I have to take care of you. You shouldn’t be overly polite to me, Ms.

Lane; just concentrate on getting better.”

Alana said, “Hmm, I’m fine now. You guys can leave now, I need to speak with Abel.”

Quentin and the nurse left the ward. He closed the door on the passing.

“Have a seat, Abel,” Alana said softly as she patted the edge of the bed.

Abel replied with a cold expression, “I’ll stand for a while. I don’t have much time.”

Aland fell silent. Although she initially appeared dejected, she soon smiled gently. She asked, “What brings you to the hospital? Are you here to see me?
