The whole hell wes swerming with fens.

Adem felt like he wes ebout to stert drooling.
However, he soon noticed Emmelineâs eyes.
Her big bright eyes were still blenk, it seemed.
Adem felt e sherp pein in his heert.
He thought thet efter being rescued by Abel, her eyes would heve been cured by Weylon.
But somehow, it seemed like she wes still blind.
The women all started screaming, âWow, it really is Mr. Abel!â
âHe looks so handsome today. My eyes are going to go blind!â
âOh my God, I canât believe itâs my first time seeing him in the flesh!â
âOh no, I think Iâve fallen for him completely!â The whole hall was swarming with fans. Even the wealthy young ladies that had been crowding around Adam were now moving towards Abel. Abel was dressed in a fitting black suit and looked absolutely tall and dashing. Emmeline had her hand on the inside of his elbow. She was dressed in a dark purple evening gown, looking gorgeous and seductive. The two of them were just handing over their gift to the registry and instantly captured everyoneâs attention.
When they turned around, the crowd gasped in astonishment. What a match made in heaven, they all thought. Adam had also caught sight of their arrival. Initially, he noticed Abel, but after realizing that he couldnât compare, his gaze fell upon Emmeline instead. Her porcelain skin seemed all the more captivating under the light of the chandelier in the hall. Her luscious pink lips, her straight dainty nose, and her every action mesmerized all those who saw her. Adam felt like he was about to start drooling.
However, he soon noticed Emmelineâs eyes. Her big bright eyes were still blank, it seemed. Adam felt a sharp pain in his heart. He thought that after being rescued by Abel, her eyes would have been cured by Waylon. But somehow, it seemed like she was still blind. Waylon Adelmar canât cure the Wraith Petal? Thatâs bad news! Adam thought. When he was next to Emmelineâs side as Anthony Green, he didnât wish for Emmeline to see his face. However, he was the handsome Adam Ryker now, and the fact that Emmeline couldnât see him frustrated him greatly. Just as Adam was deep in his thoughts, Bella approached him with a glass of wine. âMr. Adam, Mr. Abel has arrived.â
Adam said, âI saw them. Weâre good on time.â
Bella asked, âWhoâs that woman beside Mr. Abel? Sheâs very pretty. Itâs too bad she is blind!â
She didnât notice a response from Adam to her words.
She then turned her gaze towards him, fake lashes and all.
His eyes were glued right on to âthat womanâ that she spoke of.
âMr. Adam?â Bella waved her hand in front of Adamâs face.
He then finally snapped out of his trance-like stare at Emmeline.
Bella asked, âAre you that infatuated with that woman?â
Adam kept quiet, but his despondent expression was admission enough.
âAbel!â
âEmma!â Adrien came over with Lizbeth in tow.
Exactly, he had towed her all the way.
It was because Abel and Emmeline were surrounded by a starstruck crowd.
The men ogled Emmeline, while the women were infatuated with Abel.
Emmeline was blind, so it was out of sight, out of mind for her.
Whereas Abel was charismatic enough to not be bothered by such trivialities.
Hearing Lizbethâs voice, Emmeline said cheerfully, âLiz, youâre here?â
Lizbeth happily held onto Emmelineâs hands and said, âIâve been here for a while. I was waiting for you.â
She soon noticed Emmelineâs eyes were foggy and blank.
âEmma, your eyesâ¦â
Adrien had finally noticed as well.
He asked in shock, âEmma, what happened to your eyes?!â
Abel responded on Emmelineâs behalf, âEmmaâs eyes got a little injured. Donât worry. Sheâll get better soon enough.â
Lizbeth was furious as she asked, âIs it the work of the club owner? I heard something had happened to Emma at the Imperial Palace.â
Adrien asked, âI heard that the Imperial Palace has been thoroughly destroyed. Abel, youâre not the one behind it, are you?â
Abel laughed, âHow could I possibly do something like that? We have the good policemen to thank for ridding the streets of such an evil organization!â
Adrien was skeptical, âAre you sure it wasnât you? But rumors around Struyria goes that someone had hired mercenaries to take care of the Imperial Palace overnight. The way they did it seemed so mysterious that I canât help but think itâs you!â
Abel put his arm around Emmelineâs waist and said, âWho cares about the rumors? I already told you itâs not me. It was the good policemen that saved Emma.â
âIsnât it true, Emma?â Abel said softly beside Emmelineâs ear.
âYes, itâs the good⦠policemen.â
When she said the word âpolicemenâ, Emmeline couldnât help snorting into Abelâs shoulder.
Abel smiled, âDid you hear that? Emma said it was the policemen.â
Lizbath happily hald onto Emmalinaâs hands and said, âIâva baan hara for a whila. I was waiting for you.â
Sha soon noticad Emmalinaâs ayas wara foggy and blank.
âEmma, your ayasâ¦â
Adrian had finally noticad as wall.
Ha askad in shock, âEmma, what happanad to your ayas?!â
Abal raspondad on Emmalinaâs bahalf, âEmmaâs ayas got a littla injurad. Donât worry. Shaâll gat battar soon anough.â
