Chapter 777 Kept a Safe Distance
“I’m okay. Thank you.” Abel nodded with a pale face.
Kendra asked, “Do you need me to get you something to eat?”
Abel turned to Waylon and asked if he needed food.
Waylon waved his hand and said, “I don’t eat anything at night.”
Abel said to Kendra, “I don’t eat either. You can go upstairs and rest.”
Kendra then went upstairs.
Waylon was afraid of waking Emmeline, so he quietly left The Precipice.
Abel went upstairs and gently pushed open the door to the main bedroom.
In the dim light, Emmeline was lying on her side. He could tell from her breathing that she was not sound asleep.
Abel felt heavy in his heart.
He knew that Emmeline was worried about him.
Just as he was about to walk to the bedside to tuck her in, Emmeline suddenly turned over and faced outward, saying, “Hubby, how are you?”
Abel was startled. He was about to speak when he realized that Emmeline was still asleep.
She was talking in her sleep.
Abel was about to cry.
He wanted to go over and hold his wife in his arms.
But he was too scared by the Deathly Desire.
He could only watch her from afar like this.
As drowsiness set in, Abel leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Emmeline woke up after a night of shallow sleep.
She did not know what time it was, but she knew it was already bright outside.
She hurried to the hospital to see Abel.
-Feeling out of bed, she went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Abel was still sleeping on the sofa. His two long legs stretched out on the floor.
Emmeline walked over, and her little feet stumbled over his long legs.
“Ah!” She fell out like a rag doll, with her arms outstretched.
She thought she would fall and hurt herself badly.
But no, she fell into warm and solid arms.
“Are you okay, Emma?”
Abel’s warm voice sounded in her ear.
“Abel? You’re back?” Emmeline exclaimed in surprise.
Abel replied in a gentle voice, “Yes, I’ve been back for a while.”
Emmeline threw her arms around his neck and said, “Hubby, I was so worried about you. I was just about to go to the hospital to find you.”
Abel pushed her away and kept a safe distance of one fist from her.
“I’m fine now. The doctor gave me a shot, and it doesn’t hurt anymore,” Abel said casually.
He was lying.
“Let me check.” Emmeline held his pulse.
After listening to his pulse, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good. You scared the hell out of me last night. I’ve never heard you scream like that before.”
“I’m sorry, babe. I scared you.” Abel kissed her forehead with affection.
He pushed her away again.
Emmeline nestled into his arms with her arms wrapped around his waist.
Her touch warmed Abel’s heart.
She lifted her face, waiting for his kiss.

He knew she had been worried all night, and now that he was back, she sought comfort in his embrace.
Abel tried to resist, but her soft lips had already touched his chin.
He could not help but lower his head and quickly kiss her chin.
Like that, he felt a sudden tightness in the lower abdomen, and desire was about to rise.
Startled, Abel pushed Emmeline away and rushed to the bathroom.
“What’s wrong with you?” His sudden movement startled Emmeline.
“I just came back from the hospital. I’m dirty and need to take a shower and change clothes.”
Emmeline did not think much of it.
After staying in the hospital for so long, anyone would want to wash up and change clothes quickly when they got home.
She got up and went to the closet to get clothes for Abel,
Abel had already turned on the showerhead in the bathroom.
The cold water ran down on him, making his body feel refreshed.
This is terrible. How am I going to get along with Emma in the future?
Even thinking about it makes me hurt. What should I do?
I hate Anthony Green. He is vicious!
After a cold shower and drying off, Abel wrapped himself in a towel and came out.
Emmeline was standing at the door, holding his shirt and suit pants, with a matching tie on her arm.
Abel was shocked. “Emma, how did you find these clothes?”
