“No, I reached in the afternoon. I didn’t expect to wait outside the gate for almost three hours,” Evelyn answered.

“I’ve cooked dinner for Mr. Abel. Why don’t you come to the dining room too?”

“That’s great! I’ll help myself then!”

“You’re Ms. Emmeline’s friend, it’s my duty to serve you well.”

Evelyn followed Kendra to the dining room and sat down. Abel reached shortly.

Evelyn hurriedly stood up and said, “Mr. Abel, let’s eat together.”

Abel frowned and turned around to go upstairs again, leaving Kendra and Evelyn to look at each other.

Luca hurried over and whispered to Kendra, “Mr. Abel is not used to having other women around, don’t you know this rule?”

Kendra shook her head, “I don’t know, but I’m always by his side. Am I not a woman?”

“How are you the same? You’re not an outsider.” Luca said.

Kendra was touched by his words although she knew they did not treat her as an outsider from the moment they saved her child and herself.

“Hurry up and bring the meal upstairs. Mr. Abel will not come downstairs anymore” Luca said.

“It’s okay, I’ll do that. It’s my fault anyway.” Evelyn volunteered.

“You? Do you want to see Mr. Abel throwing away the cutlery?” mocked Luca.

His words made Evelyn feel defeated.

Abel Ryker, is it so hard to win your heart? Should I retreat?

Kendra brought the food upstairs, and Abel barely ate.

He still had mild gastric and he did not dare to eat a large portion.

However, he still woke up in pain at midnight.

The gastric caused twisting pain inside and he was in cold sweat.

Kendra was in deep sleep after she coaxed Quincy to sleep. Abel didn’t want to wake her up.

Abel got up to search for his medication in the studies.

“Achoo!”

He heard a sneeze after opening the drawer. He turned around and saw Evelyn.

She was wearing a night dress that belonged to Emmeline. It was bought by Abel.

Abel’s mood dropped all of a sudden.

“What are you doing in my study in the middle of the night instead of staying in the guest room?”

“Mr. Abel, I’m having a fever. I heard some sound here and I just wanted to ask if there was any antipyretic,” Evelyn answered while touching her forehead.

“Antipyretic? Let me see.” Abel searched and there was none.

“Too bad,” Abel frowned.

“There’s none?” asked Evelyn.

“Go and get dressed. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Evelyn smiled and was secretly surprised, she felt that she still had hope.

Abel is going to personally take her to the hospital! I’ll be having close contact with him!

“Hope that it’s not a problem for you, Mr. Abel!”

Abel returned to his bedroom, took a few gastric pills, and changed.

He did not wake Luca up because he knew Luca was tired.

He drove Evelyn to the nearest hospital, where the doctor on duty gave Evelyn an IV drip.

She was diagnosed with a cold.

Looking at the tired but handsome man standing in front of the hospital bed, Evelyn fell hard for him.

She hated her younger self. Why didn’t she think of going after Abel?

They had an affair, but Emmeline stole it from her. They even had 4 children together. They would be very troublesome for her if Emmeline was no longer here one day.

Evelyn was thinking about nonsense when she heard Abel’s voice, “I’ve told the doctors and nurses what to do with you. You’re in good hands. You are just having a common cold. Nothing serious about it. I’ll be going back now.”

“Mr. Abel, you’re leaving me here alone?”
