“She can cure a stroke!” Alondra exclaimed.

“Remember to invite Emma home for dinner after I’m feeling better!” Maxwell said.

“Of course.” Alondra grinned. “We should invite Mr. York too. He’ll help us rebuild our family business!”

Meanwhile, Abel was at Ryker’s Hospital. He had been waiting for any news from the Wonder Doctor for a day and a night.

Benjamin had totally forgotten about it because he was busy taking care of Emmeline.

Abel went out of the ward to make a phone call in the lounge.

He met Alondra at the door.

Alondra smiled fawningly. “Mr. Ryker. I’m here to visit Alana.”

“Mm,” Abel replied and nodded.

Alondra stepped aside to make way for Abel.

As Abel walked away, he dialed Benjamin’s number.

Benjamin was working in the top-floor office of the Adelmar Group building when his phone rang.

When he noticed Abel’s name on the screen, he remembered what he promised him yesterday.

Benjamin answered the call and said, “Mr. Ryker! I was just about to call you.”

“Mm. So what did Ms. Wonder Doctor say? The people here are waiting for an answer.”

“It’s like this… Unfortunately, Ms. Wonder Doctor isn’t accepting any appointments for the near future. She’s focusing on her research.”

Abel frowned. What a coincidence.

“When will she be free again? It’s very urgent.”

“Between five to ten days, probably.”

“That won’t do. I don’t have much time.” Abel was worried about his contract with his grandfather.

“I’m very sorry, Mr. Ryker. I can’t do anything about it,” Benjamin said.

“In that case… Please tell Ms. Wonder Doctor to come over as soon as she’s free!” Abel said.

“I will forward your message to her.”

“I need her to be cured within a month!” Abel said.

You’re so worried about Alana! Benjamin felt sorry for Emmeline.

“Just name your price. I don’t mind paying every single cent I have…”

Benjamin discreetly ended the call. He felt indignant for Emmeline.

Looks like Emmeline’s feelings for Abel were all in vain!

Abel called Adrien and told him what Benjamin said.

“What? Of all the times she’s focusing on her research! I’m waiting for her to cure me!”

“Your condition isn’t important. You should rest at home,” Abel said.

“They’ll laugh at me if they find out what happened to me!”

“I can’t help you with that!”

Abel ended the call and returned to the ward.

“Maxwell said it himself. Emmeline inserted a few needles into his body, and he felt a lot better.”

At the door, Abel heard Alondra speaking to Alana.

“You mean, Emmeline knows how to treat illnesses?” Alana asked.

“Yes, I thought it was very surprising too, but Maxwell said it isn’t anything remarkable,” Alondra said.

“I’m sure she signed up for a three-month acupuncture crash course. It’s nothing surprising,” Alana said disdainfully.

“It’s probably a coincidence. Maxwell was already recovering anyway,” Alondra said.

Abel furrowed his brows when he heard that.

Does Emmeline know acupuncture? I’ve never heard of that before.

It’s too much of a coincidence. She can treat a stroke patient, and her assistant is… Benjamin York?

That can’t be…

Abel thought for a moment and decided to see for himself.

He turned around and spoke to Luca next to him. “Follow me to the café.”

“Wha… Why are we going there?” Luca was surprised.

He watched Abel break up with Emmeline.

Is he going to apologize to her? You’re so impatient! You need to make her wait for you!

“Stop asking questions!” Abel said as he strode toward the elevator.

Luca quickly followed him. The bodyguards stationed along the corridor also went into the elevator.
