Chapter 118 Eager for a Smoke

Emmeline scanned the room and noticed a chair next to the window. "I'll sit over there," she said to

Adrien.

Adrien picked up his chair and placed it next to hers. They sat next to the window side by side.

After the nurse parked Alana's wheelchair in the room, Oscar said, "The medical personnel can leave.

I'll call you if I need anything."

Quentin replied, "Yes, Mr. Ryker!"

After Quentin and the nurses left, Abel closed the room door and placed his chair next to it.

Alana said softly, "Abel, I'm feeling a little dizzy. Can you sit next to me? I'm afraid I might fall."

Abel was speechless. This woman is so much trouble!

"Abel? Alana saved your life. Did you promise you'd do whatever she wants?"

"Ahem!" Abel put his fist into his mouth and coughed twice before moving his chair next to Alana.

Alana smiled and gently placed her slender fingers on his thigh.

Emmeline rolled her eyes toward the ceiling. If I have to see this, I should've kept my shades on! Argh,

the wind from outside is very strong.

Emmeline turned her chair toward the window.

"Emma, Grandfather tended to his garden well. I'll accompany you for a walk after the meeting," Adrien

said eagerly.

"Okay!" Emmeline pointed at a patch of tulips at the other end of the garden. "Look at those flowers.

They're beautiful!"

"I'll pick one for you." Adrien was surprised that Emmeline was friendly toward him. "No, I'll pick for you

however many you want!"

"I'll pick one for you." Adrien was surprised that Emmeline was friendly toward him. "No, I'll pick for you

however many you want!"

"And those purple roses too!" Emmeline smiled. "They're gorgeous!"

"I'll pick them all for you!" Adrien was all smiles. "I'll pick the moon and stars from the sky if you tell me

to!"

Emmeline waved her hand. "Nah, I'm fine. I have those at home."

The two people chatted happily as though they had forgotten the purpose they were gathering.

"Ahem!" Oscar coughed deliberately.

Adrien came to his senses and realized Oscar had been waiting for them.

"Now that everyone is gathered, we'll start the meeting," Oscar declared.

Emmeline and Adrien sat upright in their chairs.

Throughout the entire exchange, Abel's gaze never left the window.

To be exact, his gaze never left the two people sitting in front of the window.

Look at how those two flirt with each other!

The audacity!

Abel was as furious as he could get without losing it.

"As everyone knows, there was an accident during the party," Oscar said. "Until now, Adam hasn't

found out how those assassins infiltrated the venue. Adam will bear all responsibility and will continue

to search for an answer."

"Yes, Grandfather," Adam replied.

There's nothing to search for. I'm the one who let them in! He thought.

Alana smiled at Adam as an expression of gratitude.

Oscar continued, "An accident happened within the accident. Alana risked her life and took two bullets

for Abel, and she nearly died. She managed to survive the ordeal, but the baby in her womb is gone.

Sigh, to think I would've had five great-grandchildren in just another few months!"

Alana fell on Abel's shoulder and began to sob. "It's all my fault. I should've protected the baby. I

deserve to die…"

Abel did not move. His face was extremely sullen.

He could not declare to everyone that Cristopher had violated Alana. He would have to bear the burden

of the secret for now.

Moreover, he thought that Alana did not know about it. If Alana became agitated and her lung

collapsed, she might not recover from it.

Abel rummaged through his pocket to look for a cigarette, but he could not smoke in front of his

grandfather.

He raised his head toward the ceiling and closed his eyes.

To Emmeline, she thought that Abel was feeling sorry for Alana.

Didn't he say the child isn't his?

Didn't he say he never touched Alana?

Didn't he tell her to wait patiently for nine months, when the truth would reveal itself? Why is he acting

like this now?
