Emmeline knew that the last step in pharmaceutical development was always
the longest.
It was not surprising if that last step would take a matter of years!
In other words, Waylon did not know when the antidote would be done.
Waylon did not say anything because he knew that he could not promise
anything.
Emmeline sat down on a chair and asked, “Any news about the owner of the
Imperial Palace?”
Waylon shook his head and said, “I asked my father how secrets of the Adelmar
clan were exposed, and he didn’t have an answer for me. He told me that the
only person privy to Adelmar clan recipes was one of his previous assistants
named Ywain. However, there hasn’t been any news of him for the past twenty
years, and all the books are still in the family collection.”
“That’s strange. The secret won’t leak themselves, right?” Emmeline said.
“That’s impossible, of course. I should let Benjamin go and investigate that
Ywain guy’s whereabouts,” Waylon said.
Later in the night, Emmeline and Abel talked to each other on the phone.
In the end, Abel said good night to Emmeline and told her to go and rest.
Emmeline had no choice but to say good night to him.
She lay on the bed and flipped around but could not fall asleep.
There was a lot on her mind.
If the antidote isn’t going to be ready anytime soon, would I have to remain
separated from Abel?
It hurt her just to think of it.
It won’t hurt as bad if it’s a matter of staying away from physical intimacy. I can’t
even afford to see him.
Can we still be considered married then? Are we still in the same family?
Eventually, will we become strangers?
Her tears fell from her face and stained the pillow.
Suddenly, she heard the door open gently.
At first, she thought she was hallucinating.
However, she noticed a crack of light amid the darkness.
She instinctively opened her eyes.
The crack grew wider, and a tall silhouette appeared.
The silhouette’s black bathrobe blended together with the darkness of the night.
Emmeline gasped softly. That was Abel.
He had secretly entered her room.
Emmeline bit the corner of her blanket, held her breath, and closed her eyes to
pretend she was asleep.
Abel walked silently toward her.
Emmeline could hear his gentle breathing. Soon, she could feel his warm breath
on her face.
He must be staring at me.
She felt her eyes turn moist, but she was worried that the tears might flow.
Abel would be angry to find out she was only pretending to be asleep. He would
not want her to see his pathetic state.
Emmeline gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly to stop the tears from
flowing.
Abel was in front of the bed for a few seconds and realized that Emmeline was
not really sleeping. He stood up and walked toward the door.
Emmeline opened her eyes. With the dim light from outside the room, she could
see the shape of his broad and strong back.
“Abel…” Emmeline called out.
Abel suddenly stopped walking at the door.
Emmeline jumped out of the bed and pounced at him.
“Don’t come any closer!” Abel ordered softly without turning around.
Emmeline’s feet rooted themselves on the floor. Her outstretched arms were so
close to touching Abel.
Abel dared not turn his head around. He could only say, “Go back to bed!”
“I don’t want to.” Emmeline began to sob. “I want to be with you.”
“I want you to go back to bed! Can’t you understand?” Abel raised his voice
slightly. There was a hint of coldness in it.
Emmeline shifted backward a little but did not step back.
“Hubby…”
“Shut up!” Abel growled. “I don’t want you to kill me, so don’t let me see you!”
She knew that Abel was lying.
Abel did not want Emmeline to see him not because of the poison, but because
he did not want to show his weak side to her.
Of course, he was also worried she might catch a cold.
It was almost winter, and the nights were very cold. Emmeline was not properly
dressed in warm clothes.
Abel said nothing and prepared to leave.
“Abel!” Emmeline took a step forward and hugged him from behind with both
arms.
She rested her cheek on his back, and her tears stained his bathrobe.
“Don’t go, hubby…”

Novel Read Ambush of the Quadruplets: Stay Away From This Woman - By sheer fate, Abel Ryker was tricked into sleeping with another woman by mistake. Since it was too late for him to stop, he got the woman pregnant. However, fate decided that the woman would have quadruplets! This caused Abel to panic as he wondered if he was meant to bear all the responsibilities when the children belonged to him along with the woman.
Summary Ambush of the Quadruplets: Stay Away From This Woman
As soon as they arrived at the hospital’s entrance, Abel stepped out of the car, and the chauffeur took off toward the basement parking lot. With Helios fast asleep in his arms, Abel resisted the temptation to nibble his lovely plump cheeks. Although Abel had a son of similar age, it was his mother, Rosaline, who had been raising him. Having only seen images of his son, Abel wondered if his kid would be as adorable as the one in his arms.
After receiving word that her son was on his way, Rosaline waited patiently in the foyer for him to arrive. Her eyes lit up when she saw him. “Abel, my dear boy!”
“Hey, mom,” Abel greeted back. As he was often away from home, he had little opportunity to speak with his mother. Rosaline noticed the child in his arms and instinctively reached her hands out to carry him.
“Good boy. I didn’t know you went home and brought Timothy along,” she said.
“No,” Abel explained while passing Helios to his mother, “This is Helios. I haven’t met Timothy yet.”
“Helios?” Rosaline frowned. With Hesperus upstairs, she was taken aback by another unknown child! They also looked very identical to each other, perhaps…
Rosaline’s heart trembled as she asked, “Whose child is it?”
“He said his mother is Emmeline Louise.”
Emmeline again? Rosaline frowned upon hearing Emmeline’s name. At this point, that wretched woman had built a reputation for herself in Struyria! Despite being frustrated, Rosaline could not deny the adorable and chubby little boy in her arms. It would have been wonderful if Helios and Hesperus were her grandchildren too.
“So, is it true that Emmeline gave birth to your children?” Rosaline raised an eyebrow at her son.
“I only met one woman.” Abel said firmly, “Five years ago when I returned to fulfill my duty as a member of the Ryker family.”
“But they look so similar to you.” Rosaline was about to suggest Abel to take a paternity test but ended up believing her son’s claim that Alana was the only woman he had slept with. Unfortunately, Abel despised Alana for her malicious scheme. Despite Alana giving birth to Timothy, he refused to acknowledge her as his wife and put off getting married.
