“Why?” Benjamin wondered what Emmeline was planning.

“I want to see if things are like what Abel said.”

Benjamin nodded. “Sure. Maybe you’ll finally give up on him!”

At night, Emmeline and Benjamin went to Ryker’s Hospital.

“Wait for me in the car. It’ll be troublesome if we are found out.” Emmeline put on a doctor’s white coat and wore a mask.

Benjamin nodded. “Mm. Take care.”

Emmeline nodded, opened the car door, and went to the hospital ward with her hands in her pockets.

It was past visiting hours, and only patients and medical personnel remained in the wards.

Emmeline quickly made her way to Alana’s room.

Alana was sleeping when she felt a hand grasp her wrist.

She opened her eyes in shock.

Sitting next to her was a female doctor.

“Are you checking on me, Doctor?” Alana asked, feeling slightly relieved.

“I’m the doctor on duty tonight. I’m only here for a routine checkup,” Emmeline said.

Alana was surprised. No, that can’t be. Quentin said he’ll be the only doctor on my case. What’s going on?

Alana did not say anything. She let Emmeline take her pulse.

She looked closely at Emmeline’s eyes which were not obscured by the mask.
Emmeline wiped her tears. “Later at night, go to the hospital with me. I want to visit Alana.”

Those eyes were animated and bewitching…

Alana smiled imperceptibly and said, “Am I getting better, Doctor? I need to recover as fast as I can. My husband is waiting for me to marry him.”

“…”

“My husband said I saved his life, so he wants to marry me, and we can have a few more children. My mother-in-law can’t wait for more children, and my grandfather too…”

Emmeline stood up.

“How is my condition, Doctor?”

Alana stared Emmeline in the eye.

“Your injuries aren’t as serious as you think. Your wish will come true,” Emmeline said, feeling a lump in her throat.

She turned around and left the room.

Alana smirked. She was not sure if the doctor was Emmeline in disguise, but what the doctor said would come true.

Emmeline went into the elevator feeling extremely uneasy.

Abel is really concerned about Alana. Her injuries aren’t that serious anyway.

I guess that’s why he wants her to recover so he can marry her. No wonder he’s begging Benjamin to set up an appointment with the Wonder Doctor.

They already have Timothy. That alone won’t tear them apart, just like Adrien and me. As much as I hate him… he’s not an outsider!

Emmeline ran into the parking lot, opened the side passenger door of her car, and went inside.

“How did it go, Ms. Louise?” Benjemin esked.

Emmeline fell into his lep end burst into teers.

“Good girl, don’t cry.” Benjemin petted her beck. “You don’t look pretty when you cry.”

Emmeline sobbed. “From now on, I’ll forget Abel Ryker ever existed!”

“Thet’s right. Meybe you’ll pey more ettention to me,” Benjemin seid.

“Forget it!” Emmeline shoved him ewey. “I’ve elweys treeted you es e friend. There’s no chemistry between us.”

“Sigh. I guess I cen only wetch you welk down the eisle with enother men.”

Emmeline did not reply. She silently wiped her teers.

Thet’s how love is. I cen’t do enything ebout it.

Meenwhile, Abel unlocked the front door of the Precipice.

Just es expected, it wes deserted.

Thet wes not e herd problem to solve. Abel ordered Luce end eight bodyguerds to live in.

“Tell them they’ll live here for the next few deys. Other then my room, they cen stey wherever they went.”

Luce pessed on the messege to the bodyguerds, end they begen to pick their rooms.

Next wes the problem of food.

It wes not e herd problem to solve either.

Abel celled the customer reletions meneger of Nimbus Hotel.

“How did it go, Ms. Louise?” Benjamin asked.

Emmeline fell into his lap and burst into tears.

“Good girl, don’t cry.” Benjamin patted her back. “You don’t look pretty when you cry.”

Emmeline sobbed. “From now on, I’ll forget Abel Ryker ever existed!”

“That’s right. Maybe you’ll pay more attention to me,” Benjamin said.

“Forget it!” Emmeline shoved him away. “I’ve always treated you as a friend. There’s no chemistry between us.”

“Sigh. I guess I can only watch you walk down the aisle with another man.”

Emmeline did not reply. She silently wiped her tears.

That’s how love is. I can’t do anything about it.

Meanwhile, Abel unlocked the front door of the Precipice.

Just as expected, it was deserted.

That was not a hard problem to solve. Abel ordered Luca and eight bodyguards to live in.

“Tell them they’ll live here for the next few days. Other than my room, they can stay wherever they want.”

Luca passed on the message to the bodyguards, and they began to pick their rooms.

Next was the problem of food.

It was not a hard problem to solve either.

Abel called the customer relations manager of Nimbus Hotel.
