“I know that,” Emmeline said. “You can’t deny that Abel saved Hesperus this time, and my only goal for looking for the children’s father is to save Hesperus!”

Alana snorted coldly. “You got lucky this time. Next time, get Adrien to save your son! He should be your husband after all!”

“Mind your manners, Alana,” Abel said coldly. “You’re in no position to speak here.”

“Abel…”

“I told you not to call me by my name!”

“Mr. Ryker, Auntie Rosaline said she’ll arrange our wedding reception as soon as possible. I’ll give birth to several children for you too!” Alana said hastily.

“I did say that,” Rosaline said, “But it’s more important to save Hesperus now. You should get ready for the extraction procedure, Abel!”

“Mm,” Abel replied. He gazed at Emmeline longingly. “Wait for me!”

Emmeline nodded.

“Emma!”

“Sis!”

Someone from the other end of the corridor called out to Emmeline.

Emmeline turned her head. It was Ethan, her brother, and his wife Grace.

To her surprise, Benjamin followed behind them.

It was no surprise that Emmeline’s brother and sister-in-law would visit her at the hospital, but it was bizarre to see Benjamin York, Adelmar Group’s CEO, together with them.

Emmeline frowned. Isn’t Benjamin worried about exposing my identity?

Benjamin noticed that everyone was staring at him. He waved his hand and smiled. “I’ve heard about what happened from Mr. Louise, and I thought I should show his relatives some concern.”

Abel frowned slightly. Somehow, the image of the Wonder Doctor’s assistant came to mind.

Both of them were named Benjamin York, and they were about six feet tall. It was an incredible coincidence.

Ethan took Abel’s hands and said, “Mr. Ryker, I wonder why my sister was so blind. If only you were her sons’ father! That would be so great!”

Abel was speechless. I think I was the one who was blind.

Emmeline was exasperated. “What nonsense is that, Ethan?”

“I’m sure your brother is only feeling sorry for you,” Grace said.

“Mr. Louise rushed here as soon as he could when he heard about you from the nanny,” Benjamin added.

Emmeline rolled her eyes at him and mouthed, “None of your business!”

Benjamin coughed and looked away.

“Isn’t that so?” Ethan said to Abel. “You can’t rely on Adrien when you really need him!”

Abel did not reply. He tried to pull his hand away, but Ethan was gripping his fingers tightly.

“Watch your words, brat!” Adam glared at Ethan coldly. “You’re in no position to speak here!”

“Was I wrong? Tell me then, where is Adrien when my sister needs him? He’s the father of the child!”

Julianna stomped up to Ethan. “My son isn’t any worse than Abel! He happens to be busy with something and can’t leave.”

Ethan finally let Abel’s hand go. “He’s worse because he’s not here when his son needs him! Instead, Abel is here!”

Grace helped her husband. “Don’t forget that Abel saved your grandson! You should be grateful about that!”

“Alright, that’s enough!” Emmeline said impatiently. “You can keep your opinions to yourself. Things are already as messed up as they are.”

Benjamin said, “Ms. Louise, if you need any help, Adelmar Group will always be here for you…”

“Thank you, but I don’t think I’m worthy,” Emmeline interrupted him.

Benjamin kept his mouth shut. He knew that his concern had made Emmeline angry instead.

Abel and Hesperus were brought into the operation room. The operation lasted for eight hours and was a success.

The two people were transferred to the sterile room.

Hesperus needed to be kept under observation for 72 hours in case his body rejected the transplant, and Abel needed six hours to recover.

Meanwhile, Rosaline and Alana left the hospital and went back to Levan Mansion.

After dinner, Timothy climbed onto Rosaline’s lap and asked, “Granny, is Star feeling better? Is he still angry at me?”
