It’s impossible for me not to care. So what if I care? My relationship with Abel is nothing. Alana and Abel are Timothy’s parents, they are engaged and going to get married. I made a mistake by getting involved with Abel in the first place. Even worse, I started to find this affair disgusting.

Emmeline said, “I’m leaving now. I don’t have time to chat with you.”

Alana immediately asked, “Are you here to see Adrien? Maybe we’ll become a family in the future. I’ll have to address you as my sister-in-law.”

“That’s all in the future; nobody can say for sure.”

Emmeline sneered coldly and whispered in Alana’s ear, “I heard from a certain doctor that your health is perfectly fine. What keeps you in the hospital, exactly? Perhaps you should visit a different doctor and get a thorough examination?”

Alana started to grow worried when she heard about this. She hurriedly said, “Cut the crap! I know my own body. Besides that, Abel said I should stay in the hospital and have the doctors and nurses by my side. He feels more at ease when I stay here.”

Emmeline nodded, “Oh, is that so? In that case, you should stay here.”

Alana smirked coldly and said, “What’s the matter? Are you jealous that Abel cares about me?”

Emmeline did not say anything.

Jealous might not be the right word, but I did feel some heartache. Health-wise, Alana is in good shape. Abel is so worried about her that he insists Alana stay in the hospital for observation. He is more considerate of her.

Abel had pleaded with the Wonder Doctor to help Alana not long ago. How much Abel cherished Alana’s health and feared she would suffer from any after-effects.

What about me? What kind of treatment did I receive from him? Maybe Abel wants to be with both of us, two-timing us? Is Abel a scumbag who looks genuine but is more promiscuous than Adrien?

Emmeline began to imagine things and visualize many different faces of Abel.

When Alana noticed that Emmeline’s complexion had finally turned pale, she grinned triumphantly.

“I need to call and check on Abel’s injuries. He personally told me to make several calls a day. Emmeline, I won’t see you off.”

Emmeline sniffed and stepped into the elevator as Alana mounted the high horse and returned to her ward.

I didn’t want to waste time being undecided. I have a ton of exciting things to do. I could, for instance, make desserts for the kids at home. I can always perform stunts at the studios if I get bored. I can always race cars if everything else fails.

I wouldn’t be unlucky to run into the Imperial Palace Lord again, right? Does the true identity of that masked man happen to be Adam?

Adam was also frustrated at the time. He never expected his impenetrable Canary Project to be ruined by Abel and Benjamin so easily. He violently crushed the cigar in the ashtray. Then he paced back and forth in the living room like a wild wolf.

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Alana.

Adam’s complexion darkened. Although he despised the woman to the point where he did not even want to answer her call, she was one of his pawns.

Adam picked up the phone and answered impatiently, “Alana, didn’t we agree not to call me unless it was necessary?”

Alana scoffed, “Adam, guess who I just saw?”

“Who is it?”

Alana chuckled and said, “Of course it’s Emmeline! Are you going to allow her to get away like that, Adam?”

Adam fell into a pause. He reprimanded in rage, “Alana, what exactly are you trying to say?”

“You lost this round, is what I’m saying.”

Adam snorted, “How am I losing the game? Abel is already deep in debt. He had signed a military order with Grandad. All I have to do is pull a few strings, and Abel’s situation will be beyond redemption.”

Beyond redemption?

Alana’s heart violently jerked. She hurriedly asked, “How is this possible? I’m supposed to get engaged to Abel. What will I do if he’s beyond redemption?”
