âHas she not given up yet? Iâve already made it clear to her,â Emmeline said unhappily.
Her phone continued ringing, so she had no choice but to answer the call.
âAlandra, I donât want to argue with you anymore. Just wait for legal punishment.â
âEmma, your father has fainted. He wonât wake up no matter how I pinch him. Hurry up and come over!â Alondra said while crying.
Emmeline was taken aback. Could it be that her father was having a stroke again? However, he had already been treated, right?
âWhatâs the matter, Emma?â Abel noticed Emmelineâs anxious expression.
âItâs my father. He might be having a stroke again, so I need to see him.â Emmeline put away her phone.
âaccompany you and drive you there,â Abel said.
âMmhm.â Emmeline nodded.
Abel picked up his coat on the couch and left with Emmeline.
âMs. Louise, whatâs the matter?â Daisy asked from upstairs.
âCook for the children. I need to go to the Louise familyâs residence.â
âWhatâs the matter, Ms. Louise? It looks like youâre in a rush,â Kendra asked.
âMaybe her father is ill, so letâs cook for the children,â Daisy said.
âAlright, Iâll do it,â Kendra said as she rolled her sleeves.
âLet me do it. Your daughter will wake up soon,â Daisy said.
âSheâs sleeping soundly, so she wonât wake up for at least two hours. Letâs cook together,â Kendra replied.
âSure, but whatâs your daughterâs name?â
âI wonât call her by her previous name anymore. It reminds me of bad memories,â Kendra said.
âThen you can ask Mr. Abel to name her. Let everything start over again,â Daisy said.
Daisy nodded and smiled, âIâll ask Mr. Abel about it later.â
Abel drove the car with Emmeline in the passenger seat, and they soon arrived at the Louise familyâs residence.
The butler reported to Alondra that Emmeline was back.
Alondraâs cries could be heard from the living room. âMaxwell, please stay safe! How can I survive if anything were to happen to you? Weâve been together for half our lives, so you canât abandon me and leaveâ¦â
Emmeline rushed to the living room and angrily said, âAlondra, what are you saying? My father isnât dead yet!â
âIsnât dead? Maxwell, why arenât you waking up if youâre not dead yet?â
Maxwell lay on the couch with his eyes closed, not moving at all.
âMake way! Let me see my father!â Emmeline grabbed Alondra.
Alondraâs neck was grabbed, so she could only stand at a side.
Emmeline quickly checked her fatherâs pulse, and her face darkened.
âHow is it, Emma? Should we go to the hospital?â Abel ran in after parking the car.
âNo need. Bring him to the erematorium,â Emmeline angrily said.
Abel was taken aback. Was Maxwell already dead? Maxwell had not even.met Abel, his official son-in-
law.
Suddenly, Maxwell moved a little.
Abel was shocked. Could it be that the corpse had revived?
Emmeline said with a serious expression, âDad, are you going to get up? Iâll count to three. If you donât wake up, Iâll bring you to the crematorium!â
âOne⦠Twoâ¦â
âSigh, holding my breath is so hard. Iâd almost died.â Maxwell immediately opened his eyes.
âYouâre still pretending? You made me come back to watch your act?â Emmeline asked.
âEmma, Iâm not acting. Iâm using my actions to tell you that if you really send Alondra to jail, itâs equivalent to sending me to a crematorium,â Maxwell said with a bitter expression.
Emmeline was rendered speechless.
âEmma, itâs my fault, but Timothy is back with you now, so please forgive me,â Alondra said while wiping her tears.
