Chapter 1351 She Is His Lifeline

“I

I guarantee it!” Caleb snapped impatiently. “If you keep blabbering, I’ll be the first to call the precinct, and you can

watch them deal with you!”

“Alright, can I pick up the car this afternoon?”

“I’ll transfer the case to the substation,” Benjamin said sternly. “Talk to Mr. Sheraton about it.”

Diesel pushed Emmeline over and said, “Alright! It’s a deal!”

Benjamin reached out to catch Emmeline and asked with a lowered head, “Are you okay?”

Emmeline cleared her throat and blushed deeply

Benjamin examined her badly bruised neck and frowned. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

After leaving the hospital’s outpatient department, Emmeline felt a bit dazed, and her neck was still throbbing. The

swollen area had been treated and wasn’t a major concern.

“I didn’t expect it to turn out this way,” Benjamin said. I’m sorry for dragging you into this.”

“No one could have expected it. I’m still a bit bewildered.” Emmeline admitted, feeling scared now that the

adrenaline was wearing off.

“That was incredibly scary.” Sam commented, sticking out her tongue. “It was just like in the movies.”

Emmeline turned to Benjamin and asked, “What’s the deal with them?”

“That guy, Diesel, he was released after serving his sentence and borrowed money to buy a Steyr truck for

transportation. He didn’t have the proper permits and was caught by my squad,” Benjamin explained.

“So, how are you planning to deal with him?” Emmeline inquired, curious about the situation.

“If we dig deeper into this, it will implicate many people.” Benjamin replied. “There will be a long list of people

responsible for this.”

“Wouldn’t there be significant profits involved in such activities?” Sam asked with wide eyes.

“Of course, it’s a lucrative business involving the transportation authority and the drivers,”

Sam nodded and remarked, “You’re quite skilled; I couldn’t even see clearly how you managed to toss that driver

out.”

“I spent seve” in the military,” Benjamin said with a wry smile. “I retained some of those skills.”

Benjamin drove the two of them back to Altney Steel. After saying goodbye to Sam at the community gate,

Emmeline headed home. She noticed Abel’s car parked downstairs as she approached their building.

Emmeline’s heart raced with a mix of happiness and anxiety. She knew what would happen when Abel noticed the

injury on her neck. He had a fiery temper, especially when it came to her safety.

Her dad hadn’t returned from work yet, and Abel said her mom had gone grocery shopping. Emmeline

decided to sneak back into her room.

“Where’s your phone?” Abel asked, his expression dark. “I’ve called a hundred times, and it’s off?”

1/2

Emmeline suddenly realized she must have left it at the seafood restaurant in all the chaos. Off? That meant

someone might have taken it.

“Your phone is off, and the school office said you’ve taken five days off. You didn’t come back after work. Emma,

what kind of game are you playing? Don’t you know how worried you’ve made everyone?” Abel

scolded.

Emmeline lowered her head, about to speak, when Abel noticed the red swelling on her neck. He rushed to her,

cradling her face in his hands, his eyebrows furrowing deeply. “You’re hurt? What happened? Tell

me.”

“It’s not something I can explain in a few words,” Emmeline suddenly felt overwhelmed. It was as if Diesel was still

gripping her neck.

As tears welled up in her eyes, Emmeline pushed Abel’s hand away and turned to her bedroom. She needed to

change her clothes quickly, opting for something with a high collar to prevent her parents from seeing the injury.

Abel was taken aback by her reaction. He reached out and pulled her close, holding her in his arms. “Emma, tell

me! Who did this to you?”

“No one!” Emmeline furrowed her brows. “It was just an accident! I’m really tired right now. I’ll tell you later

Emmeline had a weakness-the more she needed to explain, the harder it was for her to find the right words.

Sometimes, it was better to say nothing and escape quickly.

Abel knew that about Emmeline and decided to stop pressing for answers. He watched as she turned and headed

toward the bedroom. At the doorway, she seemed to wipe away a tear.

Abel’s heart tightened. What happened to her? How did she get that injury on her neck?

Emmeline was his lifeline, and he couldn’t tolerate any harm coming her way.
