Janie tried to force a smile. "Emma, Mr. York, fancy meeting you here."

"Yes, what a coincidence." Emmeline was at a loss for words.

"Indeed. It's such a coincidence." Janie's face suddenly turned pale.

"Excuse me, miss, the cashier is over there." The sales clerk next to Janie said to her.

Janie handed the bag to the sales clerk. "I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be needing this anymore."

The sales clerk was surprised, and she could see the glumness on Janie's face.

"Pardon me, I suddenly remember I have to be somewhere else. Bye."

Janie smiled faintly at Emmeline and walked out of the tinted glass doors.

"Janie!"

Emmeline wanted to give chase, but Benjamin grabbed her arm.

"It's okay."

"But Benjamin, I think Janie misunderstood us," Emmeline said with a frown.

"There's nothing between us. There's nothing between me and her as well. What's there to misunderstand?"

Benjamin said.

Emmeline pouted, realizing that what Benjamin said made sense.

There was indeed nothing to explain, and chasing after Janie would only worsen the situation.

However, she could not help but feel weird about the situation.

"Let's go," Benjamin said to Emmeline, who was still disheartened. "We still need to buy clothes for Abel."

Emmeline came to her senses. They left the store and went up the spiral escalator to the eighth floor.

After buying two suits for Abel, Emmeline and Benjamin left the Verdaria.

Benjamin was going to return to Adelmar Group, while Emmeline went back to The Precipice.

Before Emmeline went into the Rolls-Royce, Benjamin said, "Don't think of what to say to Janie. There's nothing to

explain."

Emmeline nodded. "I know."

Benjamin opened the car door for Emmeline. "Mm. I'll visit Abel later."

Emmeline went into the Rolls-Royce, while Benjamin went into the Bentley.

Back at The Precipice, Emmeline took a quick shower and changed into casual clothes.

She reclined on the bed in her room and sent a message to Abel. "Hubby, I bought two new suits for you. Do you

want to try?"

Soon, she received a reply from Abel. "I'm slathered in ointment. I can only wear pajamas."

Tears immediately blurred Emmeline's vision. However, she soon received another message. "I should be fine in

another two or three days. Don't worry, keep the suit ready for me."

Tears started to fall from Emmeline's face. "But I miss you. We're living in the same house, but I can't see you."

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?" Abel tried to make her feel better.

Absence does make the heart grow fonder, but when will the absence end? Haven't you already been hurt enough

by "fondness"?

Emmeline did not reply, and Abel knew that she was overthinking again.

However, he could not retract the message. He could only add, "The antidote will be ready soon. You don't have to

worry, baby."

Emmeline replied with a nodding emoji.

She did not want to add to Abel's burdens, so she did not dwell on the topic.

She put her phone away and went to the third floor. Waylon had moved the laboratory to one of the guest rooms.

She knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Waylon's voice could be heard from the inside.

It was either Kendra or Emmeline because no one else would dare to disturb him.

"It's me," Emmeline answered sullenly.

Waylon immediately opened the door and saw Emmeline standing outside.

"What's with the long face?" Waylon asked while playfully pinching her cheek.

"Is the antidote done yet?" Emmeline said while staring at him expectantly.

"It's about 30 percent done," Waylon replied somewhat sheepishly.

"That's still a long way to go, isn't it?" Emmeline seemed more crestfallen than ever.

"I'm already doing my best. It's been only a few days, and I'm already 30 percent done. It won't take long before it's

60 percent, 70 percent, or even 100 percent."

"When will you be at 100 percent? That won't be easy, right?" Emmeline asked while pouting.
