Chapter 754: Chapter 756 Deadly Or Harmless

“How is Emma doing?” Waylon asked nervously.

Abel replied, “She’s still unconscious, but I checked, and there’s nothing else wrong with her.”

Waylon said, “That’s great. It’s time to go now. Shortly, the police will arrive.”

The group hurriedly left the mountain villa.

They were on their way home when Abel’s phone started to ring. With one hand, he was holding Emmeline and using the other to answer the phone. It was a call from Paul.

Paul said, “Mr. Abel, I’ve arrived in Struyria. What’s the situation on your end?”

“Flynn has been saved, but he’s not doing well. I’m bringing him to Ryker Hospital. You should go there and wait for our arrival.”

After a brief moment of silence, Paul choked, “Mr. Abel, thank you so much! I’ve got it handed to you!”

After they hung up the call, Benjamin asked Abel, “Did the Palace Lord of the Imperial Palace just hand Emma over to you that easily?”

Abel explained, “Of course not. He made me guess which of his pockets was empty.”

Waylon asked, “Guessing pockets? What do you mean?”

Abel explained, “He had a bag of powder in one of his pockets. If I guessed wrong, I had to consume the powder before he would hand Emma over to me.”

Benjamin was startled, “Powder? Is it poison?”

Abel replied, “Obviously, it’s not poison. I swallowed it, but I didn’t feel anything. I’m fine right now.”

“Give me your wrist!” Waylon said from the back seat. Abel let Benjamin hold Emmeline, and he handed his wrist to Waylon. Waylon put his finger on Abel’s pulse and read it carefully. He frowned and muttered, “This is odd.” “What’s wrong, Waylon?” Abel and Benjamin asked simultaneously. Waylon asked, “Did he give you flour? There’s nothing wrong with you?” Abel chuckled and responded, “Flour?

I don’t think so. That powder tastes slightly bitter.” Waylon said, “Seriously, there’s nothing wrong with you. I find it strange because of this.” Abel said, “Let’s just forget about it. I didn’t give a damn at the time because I wanted to save Emma desperately. Besides that, Waylon is here. Even if it’s poisonous, what do I have to fear?” Waylon said, “There’s something that you two don’t know about. There are only two possibilities when consuming a powder and experiencing no reaction.” “What other possibilities are there?” Abel and Benjamin asked together. “It can be deadly or harmless.”

Abel and Benjamin were speechless.

So is that powder toxic or not?

“If it’s non-toxic, that’s fine, but do you really think the Imperial Palace’s Palace Lord is so free that he would do something useless?”

Abel and Benjamin were speechless.

Certainly a busy man, that one!

“If it’s toxic, it must be something deadly. The symptoms will only appear when it takes effect.”

Abel and Benjamin remained silent.

That would be terrible!

Benjamin said, “There is no poison in this world that Waylon cannot treat. If worse comes to worst, there’s still Master Adelmar, right?”

Abel nodded, “I think so too.”

Waylon said, “Let’s keep an eye on it for a few days. We can’t take this lightly.”

Abel took Emmeline from Benjamin’s arms and said, “Waylon, I’m not important. Emma’s eyes are more important.”

Waylon said, “I know. As soon as we get to your mansion, I’ll start treating Emma.”

Emmeline moved slightly in Abel’s arms and uttered, “Hmmm.”

Abel asked in a shaky voice, “Emma, are you awake?”

“Slap!”

Emmeline sat up and slapped him across the face. She chided, “Anthony, you jerk! Let go of me!”

It took him some time to realize Emmeline was blind and had misidentified him as the Palace Lord.

So Anthony was the name of the man wearing the black-striped bed sheet?

Emmeline continued to struggle, but Abel held her tightly. He said, “Emma, it’s me, your husband, Abel.”

My hubby?

Emmeline was taken aback. Her pale face and big eyes were filled with confusion. She asked, “You’re Abel?”

“Yes, it’s me. I’m holding you now. You’re safe, and I’m taking you home.”

“Sob! Sob!”

Emmeline sobbed uncontrollably as she tightly embraced Abel’s neck. She said, “It’s really you. Sob!

sob! You finally found me. I don’t have to be afraid anymore.”
