Benjamin said, âFlynn is in the car behind us with the bodyguards. Evelyn lured him out and kidnapped him. He lost a lot of blood and was left with a severe head injury. He could have kicked the bucket by now if Waylon hadnât given him some medication.â
Emmeline said with tears in her eyes, âEvelyn is so vicious! She couldnât spare her own brother?â
Abel said, âSheâs ungrateful and heartless. She hated every member of her family to the core after learning that she wasnât a Murphie.â
Emmeline said, âThatâs right, I remember Lizbeth mentioning that she suspected Evelyn was the one who got her abducted and sold at the Imperial Palaceâs auction. She kept it a secret because she didnât want to have an argument back home.â
Benjamin asked, âSo, Evelyn is dead? And Alana is still alive?â
Abel suggested, âWeâll go back and get Alana. She canât get away from this.â
When they returned to Struyria, they went straight to Ryker Hospital.
Flynn was rushed to the emergency room. Paul, his eldest son, and several bodyguards were already waiting there.
Abel got out of the extended Hummer in his camouflage outfit.
Paul hastily approached him and shook his hand, saying, âMr. Abel, thank you so much!â Abel said, âDonât mention it. The severity of Flynnâs injuries puts his life in danger. You should visit him as soon as possible.â Paulâs expression turned dull, and he said, âI never thought Evelyn would do such a terrible thing to Flynn. It was a waste for me to raise her up.â Abel said, âEvelynâs whereabouts are unknown for now, letâs save Flynn first.â âYouâre right, Mr. Abel,â Paul said, wiping the tear from the corner of his eye.
Abel had not only saved my son, but he had also saved me 10 million dollars. Otherwise, I might have lost both my son and my money. âMr. Abel,â Paul wanted to show his gratitude to Abel respectfully.
However, Abel turned around and quickly got back in the car. His beloved was waiting for him inside the car, and he did not want to spend even a single second apart from her.
When they arrived at the Precipice Mansion, it was late at night. Emmeline had dozed off while in Abelâs arms.
Kendra was moved to tears when she saw that Emmeline had been saved. Unfortunately, Emmeline was asleep, and she was unable to speak to her.
Abel carried Emmeline into the bedroom and gently placed her on the bed. After tucking her into the bed and adjusting the blankets, Abel softly kissed her forehead again and again.
Emmeline shifted a little and furrowed her brows. Abel reluctantly stood up for fear of waking her. He left the room and gently shut the bedroom door.
Kendra was still waiting for him outside. Kendra asked excitedly, âMr. Ryker, is there anything you need me to do? Just give the word.â
Abel whispered, âPlease go in and keep an eye on Emma by the bedside, and donât leave her for even a minute. Iâll go downstairs to ask Waylon about Emmaâs eyes. When I come back, you can leave the room.â
âOf course, Mr. Ryker!â
Kendra nodded repeatedly, saying, âQuin is already asleep. Iâll keep my eyes on Ms. Louise and make sure she doesnât disappear. You can go downstairs with peace of mind.â
âAlright, thanks for your help.â
Abel had the same exact thought. He feared Emma would vanish in the blink of an eye. He felt more at ease with Kendra watching her.
Waylon and Benjamin were sipping drinks in the living room when he went downstairs. Luca had ordered takeout from the Nimbus Hotel, but it had not arrived yet.
Abel sat down next to Waylon. He asked, âWaylon, Emmaâs eyesâ¦â
Waylon said, âIâve been thinking about it. The lighting was poor earlier in the car, and I couldnât see Emmaâs eyes clearly. Now that sheâs asleep, itâs even harder to examine her eyes. How about we wait until tomorrow morning? Iâll come over and take a good look at Emmaâs eyes to diagnose what is wrong.â
Abel nodded and agreed, âThat sounds good. Emma needs a good nightâs sleep. She must be worn out because of everything sheâs been through.â
Waylon concurred, âThatâs right, I have the same idea. Let her rest well for now. I think the problem with her eyes shouldnât be a big deal.â
Abel said, âOne more thing, Emma also has a head injury on the back of her head. A patch of her hair has fallen out, and it has already started to scab. You know, girls care about their appearance.â
