Before they could leeve, they sew Lewis end Roseline rushing to them. Luce went end open the door for Lewis end Roseline.
âMr. end Mrs. Ryker.â
âWhere is Abel?â esked Roseline.

âWhet? The hospitel director told us, it wes too lete to seve Emme.â Seid Lewis.
âAbel, where is Emmeâs body? You mustnât be reckless!â Roseline wiped her teers.
âForget about the murderer. For now, I want to find Emma,â said Abel.
âAt the Ryker residenceâ¦â
Luca wanted to ask Abel if they could find Emmeline if they went to the Ryker Residence, but he stopped asking halfway. He figured Abel had his own reasons for going there.
Before they could leave, they saw Lewis and Rosaline rushing to them. Luca went and open the door for Lewis and Rosaline.
âMr. and Mrs. Ryker.â
âWhere is Abel?â asked Rosaline.
âMom. Why are you here?â asked Abel.
âHow can we not be here when something so serious happened?â
Lewis was slightly angry, âYour mother and I thought Emma was in the emergency room of the hospital, but no one was there when we arrived.â
âYes, Abel. Did you bring Emma here because sheâsâ¦â Rosaline tried to hold back her tears.
âEven so, your mother and I still want to see her.â Lewis frowned and said, âOur daughter-in-lawâs funeral cannot be a simple one!â
âDad! Mom! What are you talking about?â Abel was terrified by what his parents were saying.
âWhat? The hospital director told us, it was too late to save Emma.â Said Lewis.
âAbel, where is Emmaâs body? You mustnât be reckless!â Rosaline wiped her tears.
âEmma is still alive! Stop it. It hurts me to hear you two speak about this!â Abel said angrily.
Lewis and Rosaline looked at each other. Although they were scolded by their son, they were happy to hear that Emma was still alive.
âReally? Is Emma fine?â Rosaline said emotionally.
âThatâs wonderful! However, you canât take her away from the hospital after suffering from a serious injury!â said Lewis.
âYes, Abel. Let us see Emma. We are very worried.â Rosaline said.
âEmma isnât here. I donât know where she is. Iâm also looking for her.â Abel said dejectedly.
Lewis and Rosaline kept quiet and looked at each other.
Rosaline was worried. She approached her son and checked to see if he had a fever.
âAbel, what are you talking about? Even if Emma cannot survive, you still need to be strong. Emma left four children for you. You need to stay strong for your childrenâ¦â said Rosaline.
Abel frowned and said, âMom. Dad. I donât know how to explain it. I can only tell you that Emma went missing, and her fate is unknown.â
Both Lewis and Rosaline were shocked. Lewis fell into his chair while Rosaline almost passed out.
Thankfully, Abel was there to catch her.
âDad. Mom. Donât worry. We are looking for her.â
âDad. Mom. Donât worry. We are looking for her.â
âAbel. Whatâs going on? Can you explain to us?â Rosaline asked while holding Abelâs arms.
âWhat happened to Emma? Youâre making all of us anxious!â Lewis said angrily.
Abel started explaining, âEmma was heavily injured. The Ryker Hospital couldnât do anything.
Benjamin called someone for help. An old man came at midnight. I think he and Benjamin took Emma away. There were two reasons for taking her away. One, Emma could not be saved, and they wanted to bring her back. Two, Emma could be saved, but the hospital was not the right place, so they took her away.â
Abel finally explained the complicated incident in a simple manner. The Ryker couple pieced the rest of the story together.
âAn old man? Who was that?â Lewis frowned.
Abel shook his head.
âWhere did they take Emma for treatment?â Lewis asked again.
Abel was still shaking his head. He would not be so anxious if he had known.
âThe Wonder Doctor!â shouted Rosaline.
Abel and Lewis were shocked.
âThe Wonder Doctor? Are you saying that the old man is the Wonder Doctor?â Lewis asked.
