Samâs clear and pure voice came through, âLuca, may I ask if there is any news about Emma?â
Luca replied, âNot yet. Mr. Abel is still searching.â
âI see.â Sam did not know what else to say.
She and Daisy knew about the whereabouts of Emmeline, but they could not say anything.
She called Luca because she missed him but could not find a better reason.
Luca said, âI will be the first to tell you if there is any news. You are making an international call. Hang up now.â
Sam was surprised and asked, âInternational call? Where are you?â
âOsea,â Luca replied.
Sam was even more shocked.
Osea is ReykjavÃk. So, does that mean that Abel goes to ReykjavÃk? How does he know that Emmeline is there? Does he know about the island of the Adelmar family?
Oh no, Mr. Adelmar will not allow them to reveal their identities.
This is bad. How did Abel find out?
Sam felt uneasy, and Luca had already hung up the phone.
He found the pharmacy and was busy buying medicine for Abel.
The next day, the hired yacht carried several people out to sea.
After a day, they only visited three islands, but none were called Adelmar Island.
The next day, they went to sea again to search but still found nothing.
On the third day, they still found nothing.
Even the highly paid fishermen did not bring back any useful information.
âThis is not a solution,â Janie said, becoming anxious, especially since Abelâs stomach illness kept flaring up.
Watching him suffer with a pale face, sweating profusely, unable to eat or drink, everyone was worried.
If this continued, they would not find Emmeline, and even Abel would be tortured.
What should they do?
Luca pleaded with Abel on the deck, âMr. Abel, canât we go back first? You need to see a doctor.â
Abel held his upper abdomen and said, âIâm fine. This is an old malady. It may cause pain from time to time. Itâll be better in a few days.â
Luca looked worried and said, âI know about your old malady. But itâs been too long this time, and itâs easy to cause perforation.â
Abel smiled and said, âItâs okay. We just need to find Emma. Sheâs a Wonder Doctor. Sheâll cure me.â
Luca did not say anything.
Emmeline might indeed be a Wonder Doctor.
But is she still alive?
Luca did not dare to voice his concerns.
He was afraid that his boss could not take it.
His unwavering belief in finding Emmeline fuels Abelâs entire being.
Luca was feeling uneasy when his phone in his pocket rang.
He took it out and saw that it was from Sam again.
In a low mood, Luca hurriedly went to the cabin and pressed the answer button.
âLuca, any news about Emmeline?â
âNo,â Luca said downhearted, âWeâve been searching at sea for three days, but thereâs been no sign of her.â
âAnd Abel is not well. Iâm really worried.â
âWhat happened to Abel?â Sam was also shocked to hear this.
Abel is Ms. Louiseâs husband and her four childrenâs biological father!
If something happens to him, even if they save Ms. Louise, it will still be a big trouble.
âHis stomachache is in pain. Seriously, he doesnât eat or drink, and sometimes he even vomits,â Lucaâs voice choked.
Sam anxiously said, âThen ask him to come back. Donât put his health at risk.â
âBut he didnât listen,â Luca said, âHe wonât give up until he finds Ms. Louise!â
âHow can this be?â Sam murmured, âOrâ¦â
Luca said, âForget it. Iâll hang up now. Iâll ask him which island heâs going to next.â
Sam called out impatiently, âLuca, wait a minute.â
Luca frowned and said, âSam, Iâm not in the mood to talk to you. I have important things to do.â
