Emmeline nodded. “Alright. I’ll inform him right away.”

She looked at the time. It was half past three in the morning.

Emmeline could not care less. She dialed Adrien’s number on her phone.

However, she received a notification that Adrien’s phone was switched off.

Adrien switches off his phone when he goes to bed? He’s so carefree!

Emmeline knew that Abel’s phone was switched on 24 hours a day.

It went without saying that the big boss of Ryker Group carried a different set of responsibilities.

Emmeline thought of contacting Abel so that he could reach Adrien.

Would it be appropriate for me to call Abel at this hour though? A few hours ago, Abel’s parents had summoned him back to the house. Rosaline even told his son not to meddle in other people’s affairs.

Heh, “Other people’s affairs.”

Emmeline sighed. She somehow felt disappointed.

Luckily, Hesperus fell asleep after taking the medicine she brought for him.

Emmeline waited at the hospital until seven o’clock. She called Adrien’s number again and found that his phone remained switched off.

She was just about to call Abel when she received a phone call from him.

Emmeline quickly answered it. “Mr. Ryker.”

Abel was surprised. “You sound like you have something urgent going on, Emma. Are you at the hospital?”

“Yes, I am.” Emmeline’s heart warmed when she heard his voice. “Star’s condition worsened. I tried calling Adrien, but I couldn’t reach him.”

“Why are you looking for Adrien? What can he possibly do? He’s probably sleeping in some motel.”

“He’s Star’s father, and Star needs him now!”

Abel was speechless for a moment. “… I can help him too, Emma.”

“Star needs a bone marrow transplant! You… You can’t help him!” Emmeline was close to sobbing.

“A bone marrow transplant?” Abel was surprised.

“Yes. That’s why I’ve been looking for the boys’ father. I don’t need that man for anything else!” Emmeline said.

“I see,” Abel answered. “I’ll help you look for Adrien.”

“Thank you, Mr. Ryker.”

“Emma…” Abel hesitated for a while. “My name is Abel.”

“A…bel.”

“Mm.” Abel’s expression turned serious after ending the call.

So the cute little kid has a blood disorder, and that’s why Emmeline insisted on searching for his biological father!

It’s not like what the others say. She’s not looking to marry into the Ryker family for riches!

Just like what she said, she didn’t need that man!

Abel felt sorry for Emmeline.

But… does she need me?

What can I do for her?

I’m not the children’s father, and I’m not related to her in any way.

Moreover, the relationship between Abel and Emmeline was awkward because of Adrien.

Rosaline came over and asked Abel, “What happened, Abel? I heard something about a bone marrow transplant?”

“It’s Hesperus,” Abel said while frowning hard. “It turns out he has a blood disorder.”

“A blood disorder!” Rosaline was surprised. “That poor boy. Is he getting any treatment?”

“That’s why Emmeline has been searching for the boy’s father,” Abel said. “She’s not after the Ryker family’s fortune. All she wants is to save her son.”

“You should look for Adrien then! He has to bear the responsibility!” Rosaline said.

“Emmeline said he switched off his phone. That useless bum. I’ll get someone to fetch him from the hotel!”

Just when Abel was about to leave the house, Alana came in, dressed in a pink gown and wearing elaborate makeup, as though she was preparing for a special occasion.
