“He is back.” Emmeline mumbled, “but now he was in a vegetative state. Luckily, he could wake up at any time.”
Paul fainted again, but this time out of excitement.
“Wonder Doctor,” Edmond said as he supported his father, “you truly have the power to bring the dead back to life! The Murphy family are grateful for you!”
Erin squeezed through and leaned against the door frame, her face pale as a whole.
“Wonder Doctor, bringing the dead back to life, actually managed to revive Flynn?”
If Flynn woke up…
Erin also fainted at the thought of it.
Benjamin frowned nearby but didn’t reach out his hand.
Edmond and Paul were busy seeing Flynn and didn’t have time to deal with her.
Abel ignored her completely, picked up Emmeline, and went downstairs.
Wearing protective clothing for five or six hours was hot and suffocating for her.
Not to mention fatigue and high tension levels.
Abel entered the car with out-of-town license plates and quickly helped Emmeline out of her protective suit.
Emmeline was drenched in sweat, her face and head covered in perspiration. Her clothes were also soaked.
Abel felt heartbroken and unscrewed a bottle of water, feeding her a few sips.
Benjamin approached and whispered under his protective suit, “Is Emma okay?”
“Exhausted,” Abel said, “wearing protective suits is suffocating.”
Emmeline whispered, “I’m fine, just slightly overheated.”
“Then let’s leave quickly,” Benjamin said, “I can’t bear it either.”
He got into a security car in front and took off his heavy protective suit inside the car.
The three cars swiftly drove away, heading straight back to Jade Manor.
Upon seeing the three of them return, Kendra quickly boiled water and made tea.
Emmeline went upstairs to shower and change her clothes.
Abel and Benjamin sat on the couch, each lighting a cigarette.
“Wonder Doctor is truly remarkable,” Abel said. “Emma revived the dead.”
“Firstly, Emma inherited Robert’s true teachings,” Benjamin said. “Secondly, Flynn didn’t stay lifeless for long.”
“Emma has once again challenged my understanding,” Abel said. “She’s a treasure, no doubt about it.”
“So, be extremely careful to keep Emma’s identity as Wonder Doctor a secret. It must not be easily exposed, or we’ll have endless troubles,” Abel warned.
“I understand,” Abel nodded.
Benjamin blew out a smoke ring and changed the subject. “Hemmings Group approached me yesterday. I didn’t welcome him warmly.”
“I knew he would come to you,” Abel said. “The Ryker family and Adelmar used to be enemies, but now they both know we’re on the same side.”
“No choice,” Benjamin squinted and glanced at him. “You became my brother-in-law, preventing Adelmar from finding a worthy opponent.”
“What did Jonathan say in the end?” Abel flicked the cigarette ash. “He won’t give up easily, but he doesn’t dare confront me directly at the moment.”
“That’s what I wanted to tell you,” Benjamin said. “Sonia’s grandfather is a military figure, her father is an official. Jonathan might go after someone with the surname Steiner since this whole thing started because of his daughter.”
“The enemy may come, but we’ll meet them head-on. The waters may rise, but the earth will cover them,” Abel sneered. “If anyone dares to mess with Emma, I don’t care which dynasty they come from!”
“Just as I thought!” Benjamin crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
“Wait! What do you mean by ‘dynasty’?” Emmeline came downstairs in casual home attire, her black hair flowing and giving off a fresh and pleasant aura.
The two men glanced at each other, their eyes filled with a smile, but neither of them spoke.
Emmeline looked around and said skeptically, “Why do I feel like you two big men are exchanging meaningful glances?”
“Ah?” Abel’s lips curled into a smirk. “Really? Is that so?”
“Yes, it is,” Emmeline raised an eyebrow. “I saw it clearly. You two were exchanging meaningful glances. Are you hiding something from me?”
Abel and Benjamin exchanged another glance but smiled without saying a word.
Frowning, Emmeline asked, “What exactly are you implying? Have you both fallen in love?”
Abel’s handsome face turned serious as he asked, “If we really were in love, what would you do?”
