Oh, grabbing a drink? Thatâ sounds good to me.â Benjamin glanced at the cafe opposite the road.
Benjamin learned from Samâs phone call that Emmeline said yes to Adrienâs marriage proposal, and Emmeline could be sad.
However, the current situation seemed like Benjamin was overthinking it.
âSure.â Benjamin added, âWhere to?â
âHow about the Imperial Palace?â Abel smiled.
âImperial Palace it is.â Benjamin nodded.
Two cars drove out of the parking let one after the other. They headed toward the Imperial Palace.
After half an hour, Abel and Benjamin sat in a private room in Section A.
âDo you remember the 265 million bid in the auction?â Abel continued, âI will transfer the amount in a couple of days.â
âItâs fine.â Benjamin said, âItâs all for the sake of Emma.â
âHowever, that money saves Lizbeth in the end.â
Abel added, âMoreover, the Murphy family thanked me. Let me return the 265 million.â
âItâs up to you.â Benjamin no longer refused.
Benjamin originally thought of using his money to repay the 265 million to Adelmar Groupâs account in installments.
It would save Benjamin some trouble if Abel transferred the amount.
âYou donât look sad after knowing Emma is engaged.â Abel glanced at Benjamin.
âIâm only left with worries and blessings.â Benjamin said, âIâm not the one to decide for Emma.â
Abel nodded in agreement. What Benjamin said made sense.
âHow about you?â Benjamin leaned forward, and he looked at Abel with his starry eyes, âYou seem sad.â
âHa.â Abel smiled bitterly, âEven you can tell Iâm sad, but for someone elseâ¦â
Benjamin added, âWe men understand each other with a single glance.â
âIâm happy as long as Emma is happy.â Abel raised his cup, and he took a sip. His face was filled with sorrow.
âEmma isnât happy.â Benjamin elaborated, âShe merely doesnât show it.â
Abel frowned, âWhat are you talking about? Didnât you hear Emma humming a song?â
Benjamin explained, âEmmá is optimistic, but it doesnât mean she is happy.â
âBenjamin.â Abel narrowed his eyes, âAre you close to Emma?â
Benjamin gave a brief smile, âIâm sensitive to emotions. Thatâs all.â
âIs Emma unhappy?â Abel started feeling heartache.
âWhat do you think?â Benjamin sneered, âDonât you already know who Emma likes?â
Abel took a deep breath. The person, Emmeline likes, is most probably me.
âHowever, you have Alana by your side.â
The things between me and Alana are unlike what you have imagined.â
âOh, right.â Benjamin said, âAre you aware of Alanaâs injuries?â
âItâs severe.â Abel continued, âAlana is left with ramifications, which troubles me.â
âWho told you that Alanaâs condition is severe?â
âDr. Anderson.â Abel furrowed his brows, âWhy do you ask?â
âItâs my kind reminder.â Benjamin said, âGet another doctor to perform a medical check-up. Maybe that will give you a surprise.â
Abel was stunned. There was a hint of doubt in his tone. âMr. Benjamin, you seem to know something.â
âNot really.â Benjamin smiled, âItâs a random guess.â
Abel did not say a word, but he took Benjaminâs reminder into careful consideration.
Abel agreed to have another doctor carry out a medical check- up for Alana.
Alana is manipulativeâ¦
âThatâs it for me today.â Abel stood up.
Abel only took a sip of his drink.
âAlright.â Benjamin smiled, âI have my chauffeur, so itâs fine for me to get drunk alone.â
âTake care.â Abel grabbed his suit before leaving the private room.
20 minutes later, Abel arrived at the hospital directorâs office at the Ryker Hospital âDo you know the details of Alanaâs injury?â
âMr. Abel.â The hospital director replied, âQuentin is mainly in charge of Alana. Iâll call him for you right away.â
Wait.â Abel continued, âI donât need to consult with Quentin.â
âMr. Abel, what do you meanâ¦â
âGet someone else to perform a medical check-up for Alana.â
âDo you want another doctor with another medical check-up?â
The hospital director did not understand Abelâs reason, but he did not dare to ask.
âGot it, Mr. Abel. I will arrange for it accordingly.â
