Chapter 657 Jealousy Is Not A Look âDonât get me wrong, Abel.â Benjamin got up. âThe Adelmars will kill me if anything else happens to Emma!â
âDonât get me wrong, Abel.â Benjamin got up. âThe Adelmars will kill me if anything else happens to Emma!â
âThat sounds more like it,â Abel said with a low voice. âYou shouldnât keep thinking about my wife.â
âJust go home, Ben.â Emmeline noticed how the man was bristling from jealousy. âIâm fine. Donât worry, Ben.â
âYeah, no.â Benjamin shot Abel a look. âI donât care how a certain someone feels about this but Iâm staying. Iâll worry if Iâm not here.â
âDo whatever.â Abel smiled bitterly. âStay away from the bed. I canât guarantee I wonât get my men to throw you out if you cross me.â
Benjamin moved his chair aside. âIs this fine?â
Abel sat at the edge of the bed, took Emmelineâs hands into his own, and nodded. âThatâs fine.â
Both men fell silent.
There was another knock on the door.
âAre you okay, Ms. Louise?â It was Daisy.
âDaisy and I are here, Ms. Louise.â That was Sam.
Abel got up to answer the door.
Both Daisy and Sam immediately piled in, pushing Abel and Benjamin aside.
âHow are you feeling, Ms. Louise?â Daisy teared up as she approached the bed. âYou scared us.â
âYeah.â Sam was wiping her tears away. âWhy didnât you tell us where you were going? Your personal bodyguard does nothing but brew coffee all day.â
âIâm fine.â Emmeline assuaged their worries. âLook. Iâm fine.â
âBlah blah. Look at your forehead.â Sam was frowning from worry.
âThatâs such a thick bandage. You mustâve been hurt badly.â Daisy was concerned.
âItâs just a scratch. Put some faith in my driving skills.â
âHow did you end up in a car accident then?â Daisy asked. âIs there a reason?â
âMy initial suspicion was that someone is plotting against me. I was lucky to survive.â
âMiss.â Sam stomped her foot. âTell me next time youâre going out. Do you see me as some kind of decoration? Right, Iâm just someone who sells coffee!â
âPlease donât blame yourselves. I was the one who didnât say anything.â She reassured them. âIâm fine.
Donât worry.â
âMiss, if we donât do our jobs in protecting you right, we can forget about ever returning to Adelmar Island,â Daisy said.
Sam nodded. âYeah, Master Adelmar will yell at us. We were just worried for you, Ms. Louise.â
âI know.â Emmeline turned to Daisy. âYou didnât tell the children about it, did you?â
âNo.â Daisy wiped her tears away. âBut the Madame knows about it. We didnât know how to break the news to the children.â
âGood.â Emmeline nodded. âThe kids will worry if they find out.â
âDo you know who it was, Miss? Tell us. Weâll deal with the problem for you!â
âI suspect itâs Evelyn,â Emmeline answered. âBut she has someone backing her.â
âShould we tail Evelyn then?â Sam asked. âThat way, weâll find out who sheâs working with.â
âThereâs no need for all that. We have Mr. Ryker and Ben do handle the situation.â
Sam pouted. She disliked being on the sideline and yet there was nothing she could do.
Neither men could even get close to Emmeline with the two women huddled around her.
Abel left the ward.
âMr. Abel,â Luca greeted. âWhat are your orders?â
âWere you the one that told Sam about this?â
Luca shrank back. âYou know I canât lie. I told her everything the moment she asked me what I was doing in Falmouth.â
