âIâ¦â Evelyn paused slightly before nodding, âI suddenly feel that Struyria isnât half-bad. For the time being, I donât wish to return.â
Adam knew that she was frustrated, but he wasnât concerned about that.
He simply needed to know he could use her and the Murphy family behind her.
Adam smiled, âThen you should stay. Iâll take you around.â
Evelyn put on a fake smile, âVery well. Thank you, Mr. Adam.â
Adam said, âIf youâre keen, you can stay at my villa. Avalan Mansion is located in the suburbs, so itâs not too rowdy and has a great view.â
Evelyn replied, âIâll think about it. I will let you know once Iâve made up my mind.â
Adam nodded, âAlright, I will honor your decision.â
After the engagement party was over, Abel brought Emmeline back to The Precipice.
The Rolls-Royce stopped in the parking lot. As usual, Kendra waited by the corridor with Quincy in her arms.
Abel got down from the car then turned to the other side and lifted Emmeline out from the vehicle.
Kendra watched on with a bright smile on her face.
This was how it should be.
Kendra walked over and asked, âWelcome home. Do you need any help?â
Abel answered, âGo and make some herbal tonic soup for Ms. Louise. She needs comfort food.â
Kendra was visibly worried, âWhatâs wrong with Ms. Emmeline? Is she unwell?â
Abel said, âNo, she just needs some rest.â
Kendra added, âAre you sure everything is alright? Iâm a nurse. You can tell me if something is wrong.â
Abel relented, âVery well then. Iâll need you to help apply some medication for Emma later. The cream is in my suit pocket.â
Kendra was shocked, âMs. Emmeline is hurt?â
Abel replied, âNot exactly. Youâll know once you see what medicine it is.â
Kendra reached for the pockets on the suit that Luca was holding up, then took out a few suppositories.
It was an anti-inflammatory vaginal cream.
Kendra immediately understood everything.
Emmeline squeaked and shoved her reddened face deep into Abelâs chest.
Abel brought Emmeline up to the bedroom on the second floor, then placed her on the bed.
After which, he took Quincy from Kendraâs arms, âGo help Emma with the cream. Iâll take care of Quin for now.â
âOkay,â Kendra nodded.
Just as Abel was leaving the room, he turned back and said, âUhh Kendra, do it⦠gently.â
Kendra smiled, âIâm a gynecology nurse, Mr. Abel. Rest assured.â
âAlright then,â Abel nodded, then went back downstairs with Quincy in his arms.
Kendra cleaned her hands then put on a pair of disposable gloves before helping apply the cream on Emma.
Kendra remarked happily, âIâm really glad to see that you and Mr. Abel are on good terms again.â
Emmelineâs cheeks still carried a slightly pink tint as she said, âI wasnât counting on it initially, but somehow things just got better all of a sudden.â
Kendra said, âWe surely have to thank God for that. I was really worried the last few times Evelyn came over to rub it in. I was afraid that Mr. Abel had lost his wits and actually fallen in love with her. What would happen to you then?â
Emmeline couldnât help but worry as she said, âBut I saw Evelyn together with Adam today. Sheâs completely out of her depth. Adam is no simple man.â
Kendra clearly didnât have a good impression of Evelyn. She remarked, âThat womanâs heart is as black as night. Sheâll get her just desserts. We shouldnât be bothered with her!â
Emmeline said, âI feel the same way. However, I still hope that Adam wouldnât do anything too harsh to her.â
Kendra suddenly whispered, âAnyway Ms. Emmeline, did Mr. Abel take some kind of antidote? How did he regain his feelings for you?â
Emmeline chuckled, âWhat sort of antidote could possibly counteract Worryfree? Even I canât figure it out.â
âThen how did Mr. Abel recover? Iâm really curious!â
Emmeline pondered a while before answering, âHe told me that on the night he chased after me, he got struck by lightning.â
âAh?! He gotâ¦â Kendra covered her mouth and said softly, âHe got struck by lightning?â
Emmeline smiled, âYeah, thatâs what he told me, and there was indeed a thunderstorm that night.â
Kendra was in disbelief, âOh my god! This is so mysterious.â
