Abel was shocked to hear that.

Alana was injured and lost her baby because of him. He did not wish to see her suffer.

“Hang in there. I’ll go and get the doctor.”

Abel went out of the door and asked Luca to get him the doctor.

In a short while, Quentin and two nurses came into the room.

“What happened to Ms. Lane?” Quentin pretended to be flustered. “She is still very weak. Her condition might worsen any time!”

“Quickly save her then!” Oscar said. “Alana saved me. If she dies, you’re not going to live for very long!”

“Yes, Mr. Ryker!”

Quentin wore his stethoscope and pretended to examine Alana.

As Quentin frowned harder and harder, Abel became more and more anxious.

Oscar paced around the room with the help of his walking stick.

A few minutes later, Quentin put the stethoscope away. He had a grim expression on his face.

“How is she?” Abel asked. Oscar also turned around.

Quentin said, “Her injuries are very serious, especially when one of the bullets punctured her lung, which will cause lasting effects on her health. If she becomes emotionally agitated, her lung might collapse, and she’ll easily suffocate and die.”

“What should we do then?” Oscar said angrily. “Treat her with the best medicine available!”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Ryker. We’re doing our best to make sure she recovers. It’s just that…”

“What is it?”

“It’s just that Ms. Lane can’t afford to be emotionally agitated now. She needs to maintain a relaxed mood at all times. That way, the complications won’t be triggered, and the risk to her health is lower.”

Oscar sat on the sofa and frowned. He was thinking hard.

Quentin instructed the nurse to inject Alana with some medication. While the nurse blocked Alana’s face, Alana pouted and sent a flying kiss to Quentin.

Quentin winked at her and returned the flying kiss.

“Abel, by saving you, Alana has also saved the Ryker Group,” Oscar said. “Look at what happened to her because of that. I’d say, the Ryker family owes her too much!”

“Mm.” Abel inhaled deeply. “What do you want me to do? You don’t have to beat around the bush.”

Oscar turned his head toward Alana. “Alana, do you have anything you want to say?”

Alana covered her face and began to sob. “My… My dream is to marry Abel. But I’ve injured myself and lost his baby. I’ll bring nothing but trouble to him. I have no choice but to sacrifice my dream. Boo hoo hoo, what is life so cruel to me?”

Oscar knocked his walking stick on the floor. “That’s not a problem. I’ll help you fulfill your dreams!”

Abel turned around abruptly and stared at Oscar.

Alana lifted her head from the blanket.

“Grandfather!” “Grandfather!”

One of them was shocked, while the other was delighted.

“You don’t have to tell me anything. Tomorrow, we’ll hold a family meeting, and I’ll announce the news to everyone!” Oscar said.

What does Grandfather intend to do this time? Abel thought.

I win again, Abel! Alana thought.

“Dr. Anderson, bring your medical personnel along to the Ryker Mansion tomorrow. You’ll be attending the family meeting to assist Alana!”

“Yes, Mr. Ryker,” Quentin said with a bow.

Alana’s condition was still “weak,” and she was not supposed to leave the hospital.

However, the hospital belonged to the Ryker family, so Oscar could do whatever he wanted.

Oscar told Abel, “Tell Emmeline she should come too.”

“Emmeline?” Abel frowned. “Why does she need to be there?”

“You ask why?” Oscar said angrily. “She gave birth to the children for Adrien, so she’s considered part of the Ryker family. She needs to be at the meeting!”

“I don’t agree!” Abel said.

“I’m not dead yet, Abel! I’m still in charge of the Ryker family!” Oscar said.
