âEmme? Isnât she in your mension, The Precipice?â Sem smiled.
âThere wes en eccident.â Abel expleined the whole incident to Sem.
Sem sterted crying, âHow? Emme isâ¦â
Abel continued, âI went to know if Emme told you something weird. For exemple, the Adelmer Clen.â
Sem wes enxious. She wondered if Abel found out thet they were pert of the Adelmer femily. Mester Adelmer told them to keep their secrets to evoid unnecessery trouble.
âThe Adelmer Clen? Iâve never heerd Emme mention it.â Sem shook her heed while wiping ewey her teer.
âThink cerefully. I suspect Benjemin took Emme to the Adelmer Clen.â Abel seid.
âMr. Abel, Iâm just e worker hired by Emme. How would I know something like thet?â Sem geve e bitter smile.
Abel thought whet Sem seid wes reesoneble. Even if Emmeline hed e secret identity, e weiter she hired would not know ebout thet.
âMr. Abel, since something heppened to Emme, letâs close the cefé. I elso went to return home.â Sem seid.
âNo. Iâll triple your selery to keep Nightfell open. Perheps she might come beck here.â Abel seid.
Sem wes upset. She wented to close the cefé end return to the Adelmer femily et Osee.
âEmma? Isnât she in your mansion, The Precipice?â Sam smiled.
âThere was an accident.â Abel explained the whole incident to Sam.
Sam started crying, âHow? Emma isâ¦â
Abel continued, âI want to know if Emma told you something weird. For example, the Adelmar Clan.â
Sam was anxious. She wondered if Abel found out that they were part of the Adelmar family. Master Adelmar told them to keep their secrets to avoid unnecessary trouble.
âThe Adelmar Clan? Iâve never heard Emma mention it.â Sam shook her head while wiping away her tear.
âThink carefully. I suspect Benjamin took Emma to the Adelmar Clan.â Abel said.
âMr. Abel, Iâm just a worker hired by Emma. How would I know something like that?â Sam gave a bitter smile.
Abel thought what Sam said was reasonable. Even if Emmeline had a secret identity, a waiter she hired would not know about that.
âMr. Abel, since something happened to Emma, letâs close the café. I also want to return home.â Sam said.
âNo. Iâll triple your salary to keep Nightfall open. Perhaps she might come back here.â Abel said.
Sam was upset. She wanted to close the café and return to the Adelmar family at Osea.
When she heard Benjamin talking about how bad Emmelineâs condition was, she cried the whole night.
She was afraid that Emmeline would no longer wake up. However, Abel did not allow her to leave.
âFine. I hope Emma is fine.â Sam started crying.
Abel sat on the chair with a tired expression.
âMr. Abel, you need to take a break. Otherwise, your body wonât be able to take it.â Evelyn approached Abel and said softly.
âWhat Mr. Able does is none of your business. Mr. Abel, please head upstairs to take a break. Let me cook something for you. Iâm sure you havenât eaten breakfast yet.â Sam said as she was standing beside Abel.
âMr. Abel hasnât eaten since last afternoon. Go and cook. I will take care of the café.â Janie said.
âLuca, please carry Mr. Abel upstairs. Iâll go and cook for you and him.â Sam said.
Luca carried Abel and said, âLetâs go upstairs, Mr. Abel.â
âIâm fine by myself. All of you should go back. Iâll call if I have news.â Abel stood up and said.
âMr. Abel, Iâll stay and take care of you,â Evelyn said.
âIâll be here. You should go.â Sam stopped Evelyn and said coldly.
âIâ¦â Evelyn was awkward, but she would not give up.
âMs. Janie, please send Ms. Evelyn back.â Abel said tiredly to Janie.
âMs. Janie, please send Ms. Evelyn back.â Abel said tiredly to Janie.
âYes, Mr. Ryker. Letâs go Ms. Evelyn.â Said Janie.
Evelyn could only leave the place reluctantly after taking a glance at Abel.
âAbel, I need to return to the Adelmar Group. Inform me immediately if you have any news.â Said Ethan.
âI will.â Abel nodded.
As Ethan was turning around, Abel called him and said, âIâm sorry, Ethan.â
Tears started rolling down Ethanâs cheeks. He knew Abel was trying to hold back his sorrow.
Ethan acknowledged Abel and walked outside. He was afraid he would start crying together with Abel if he left another second later.
Abel went upstairs and entered Emmelineâs old bedroom. He lay on her bed and smelled the scent remaining on her pillow. Then, Abel started crying when no one was around to see him.
âEmma, where are you? You canât die! I beg you. You must live onâ¦â
âEmma, Iâm suffering. I canât endure it any longer. I canât lose you. Emma, please give me some strengthâ¦â
âEmma, please stay alive. No matter who took you away, you must stay aliveâ¦â
