Chapter 285: Chapter 286

? Chapter 286 Emmeline wiped away Abel’s sweat again. This time, she offered him a kiss herself. For solace.

CHING The scalpel hit a metallic object. The bullet, undoubtedly. “I found it, Mr. Abel. Bear with me. I’ll dig it out now.” “Okay.” Abel nodded. Luca took a deep breath and cut deeper into the wound. “Tsss.” Abel sucked his teeth.

As Luca continued the operation, Abel’s face twitched uncontrollably. “Kiss me,” Abel blurted out.

Emmeline was stunned. “Kiss me, Emmeline.”

Emmeline offered her lips once more. It wasn’t just a peck. It was much longer than that. Abel grabbed onto Emmeline, his tongue entangled with Emmeline’s.

With one last push, Luca managed to dislodge the bullet from Abel’s wound. He then passed out.

Hearing the loud thud, the couple stopped kissing. Blood was gushing out of the wounds.

Surreptitiously, Emmeline stabbed at a few acupoints with the pin while she pretended to be looking at Abel’s wound. The bleeding subsided almost immediately. She then proceeded to put a dressing on Abel’s wound.

“Mr. Abel… Are you all right?” Luca regained consciousness moments later.

“So you truly faint at the sight of the blood?” Abel mocked.

“No, I… I… faint at the sight of PDA,” Luca stammered.

Suddenly, Abel received a call from Benjamin. He picked it up.

“Mr. Abel, how are you?” asked Benjamin.

“I’m fine,” said Abel hoarsely.

“You can’t visit a hospital now. I took the liberty to find you a surgeon who can take the bullet out.”

“It’s already been taken care of. Thank you, Mr. Benjamin.”

“Oh?” Benjamin instinctively thought of Emmeline. But no, she was drugged. She couldn’t have performed surgery. “Who took it out for you?”

“Luca,” answered Abel.

Benjamin could only imagine the Immense pain that came from surgery without any anesthetics. So that was why everyone called Abel the devil from hell.

“Okay. Is Emma safe now?” Benjamin added.

“Yes.” It was a succinct answer.

“I’ll drop by to check on her.” Benjamin was concerned.

“No need. I’m tired now. Emma too. We want to sleep,” Abel declined.

Sleep? Together? Benjamin had a bad feeling. But it disappeared almost instantly. He knew Emmeline very well. She was not one to sleep around and Abel was also a respectful gentleman.

“All right. That’s great to hear. I’ll come tomorrow then. Let me know if you want me to buy something,”

said Benjamin.

“Please take care of the kids for us. Tell them daddy and mommy are safe and that we will bring them back in two days.”

Benjamin was envious of his relationship with the triplets.

“Okay.” Benjamin nodded.

After the call, Benjamin went upstairs and relayed Abel’s message to the triplet. Abel sure acted more like a father than anyone else.
