Chapter 696 Adam Is Now Mr. Green
As he blew the smoke in the direction of Emmeline’s face, Adam could see Emmeline’s pupils turn murky. It was as if there was a veil of mist over her eyes.
A sinister smile played across Adam’s lips.
With this method, Emmeline wouldn’t be able to see even when she woke up later on.
Adam let out a chuckle in delight. Then, he took off his mask the next instant.
“From now on, you are not to address me as your master.” Adam turned around to face the maid. “My name is now Anthony Green. You are to address me as Mr. Anthony!”
Without giving it much thought, Adam decided to use his cousin’s name.
“Understood, Mr. Anthony,” the maid replied dutifully.
“You can leave now. Relay my message to the others as well. Make sure that everyone is aware of it so that no one makes a slip after this!”
“Understood.” Then, the maid left the room.
Adam sat on the edge of the bed and fixed Emmeline with a longing gaze.
“Emmeline… Emma… I’m going to make you mine, one way or another.”
An hour later, the nurse returned to the room to detach the drip from Emmeline’s hand.
At the same time, Emmeline slowly regained consciousness. She moaned softly as she appeared to have felt the slight tugging on her hand.
Adam heard her voice, and he signaled to the nurse to leave the room right away.
“Miss?” He leaned down and asked in a gentle voice, “Are you awake now?”
“Ugh…”
Emmeline felt a throbbing pain in the back of her head as the effects of the anesthetic seemed to have worn off. She also felt a slight discomfort on the back of her hand.
With her eyes closed, she reached for that hand and felt the small band–aid stuck to the back of her hand. Then, she tried to feel around the back of her head and realized that someone had bandaged her wound. Did someone manage to rescue me from the dungeon?
They’ve even treated my wound and put me on a drip after getting me out?
Emmeline slowly opened her eyes to check her surroundings.
On the other hand, Adam reflexively took a few steps backward.
I’m not sure how effective the Wraith Petal is. If Emmeline is still able to see…
Adam heard Emmeline asking in a raised, confused voice next. “My eyes! Why can’t I see anything around
me?!”
Adam breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
Mr. Ywain’s drug worked perfectly! Emmeline really can’t see anything right now.
“What happened to my eyes?! Have I lost my eyesight?”
“Miss!” Adam caught Emmeline’s flailing hands and held them tightly. “Please calm down. You were injured, and you lost your sense of sight temporarily. The doctor has examined you, and he’ll be giving you the necessary treatment for your eyes. You’ll recover your eyesight soon.”
“Who are you?” Emmeline asked in an anxious voice, “Did you save me?”
“My name is Anthony Green. I found you in the woods.”
Adam tried to speak in the most friendly, kind tone he could manage, “I was passing by a quiet part of the woods when I found you lying unconscious on the ground. Then, I took you back home with me and had a doctor treat your wounds.”
“You found me in the woods?” Emmeline had a small frown on her forehead. “Did those two evil women decide to abandon me in the woods?”
“I’m not sure who left you there.” Adam continued, “However, it might have been extremely dangerous for you if I hadn’t found you in the woods sooner.”
“You know…” The frown on Emmeline’s forehead grew deeper. “You sound strangely familiar now that I’m paying attention to your voice.”
Adam had an awkward expression as he paused briefly. “Uh… Perhaps my voice is similar to that of someone you know?”
“That may be it.” Emmeline replied, “I can’t seem to recall who that is, though.”
Adam experienced mixed feelings upon hearing her words.
“Uncle Anthony!” Emmeline cried miserably, “Can you help contact my family? I want to go home.”
Uncle Anthony?!
Adam was momentarily stunned.
Did she just call me Uncle Anthony?!
“I’m not at the age where you need to address me so respectfully…” Adam tried to correct her.
“You sound Иke you’re in your forties though,” Emmeline said.
Adam’s smile faltered. “I’m only thirty–two this year.”
Emmeline replied, “You’ll be hitting your forties soon, then.”
Adam fell silent as he couldn’t refute that.
“Mr. Green, can you please help send me home? My family will repay your kind deed handsomely!”
“I don’t need that.” Adam said, “I don’t plan on sending you home anyway.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that, Mr. Green?” Emmeline asked.
