Alana forcefully pulled the two apart and said angrily, âWatch it, Emmeline! Donât flirt with Abel! Your sonâs father is Adrien, so youâre wrong to look for Abel!â
âI know that,â Emmeline said. âYou canât deny that Abel saved Hesperus this time, and my only goal for looking for the childrenâs father is to save Hesperus!â
Alana snorted coldly. âYou got lucky this time. Next time, get Adrien to save your son! He should be your husband after all!â
âMind your manners, Alana,â Abel said coldly. âYouâre in no position to speak here.â
âAbelâ¦â
âI told you not to call me by my name!â
âMr. Ryker, Auntie Rosaline said sheâll arrange our wedding reception as soon as possible. I give birth to several children for you too!â Alana said hastily.
âI did say that,â Rosaline said, âBut itâs more important to save Hesperus now. You should get ready for the extraction procedure, Abel!â
âMm,â Abel replied. He gazed at Emmeline longingly. âWait for me!â
Emmeline nodded.
âEmma!â
âSis!â
Someone from the other end of the corridor called out to Emmeline.
Emmeline turned her head. It was Ethan, her brother, and his wife Grace.
To her surprise, Benjamin followed behind them.
It was no surprise that Emmelineâs brother and sister-in-law would visit her at the hospital, but it was bizarre to see Benjamin York, Adelmar Groupâs CEO, together with them.
Emmeline frowned. Isnât Benjamin worried about exposing my identity?
Benjamin noticed that everyone was staring at him. He waved his hand and smiled. âIâve heard about what happened from Mr. Louise, and I thought I should show his relatives some concern.â
Abel frowned slightly. Somehow, the image of the Wonder Doctorâs assistant came to mind.
Both of them were named Benjamin York, and they were about six feet tall. It was an incredible coincidence.
Ethan took Abelâs hands and said, âMr. Ryker, I wonder why my sister was so blind. If only you were her sonsâ father! That would be so great!â
Abel was speechless. I think I was the one who was blind.
Emmeline was exasperated. âWhat nonsense is that, Ethan?â
âIâm sure your brother is only feeling sorry for you,â Grace said.
âMr. Louise rushed here as soon as he could when he heard about you from the nanny,â Benjamin added.
Emmeline rolled her eyes at him and mouthed, âNone of your business!â
Benjamin coughed and looked away.
âIsnât that so?â Ethan said to Abel. âYou canât rely on Adrien when you really need him!â
Abel did not reply. He tried to pull his hand away, but Ethan was gripping his fingers tightly.
âWatch your words, brat!â Adam glared at Ethan coldly. âYouâre in no position to speak here!â
âWas I wrong? Tell me then, where is Adrien when my sister needs him? Heâs the father of the child!â
Julianna stomped up to Ethan. âMy son isnât any worse than Abel! He happens to be busy with something and canât leave.â
Ethan finally let Abelâs hand go. âHeâs worse because heâs not here when his son needs him! Instead, Abel is here!â
Grace helped her husband. âDonât forget that Abel saved your grandson! You should be grateful about that!â
âAlright, thatâs enough!â Emmeline said impatiently. âYou can keep your opinions to yourself. Things are. already as messed up as they are.â-
Benjamin said, âMs. Louise, if you need any help, Adelmar Group will always be here for youâ¦â
âThank you, but I donât think Iâm worthy,â Emmeline interrupted him.
Benjamin kept his mouth shut. He knew that his concern had made Emmeline angry instead.
Abel and Hesperus were brought into the operation room. The operation lasted for eight hours and was a success.
The two people were transferred to the sterile room.
Hesperus needed to be kept under observation for 72 hours in case his body rejected the transplant, and Abel needed six hours to recover.
Meanwhile, Rosaline and Alana left the hospital and went back to Levan Mansion.
After dinner, Timothy climbed onto Rosalineâs lap and asked, âGranny, is Star feeling better? Is he still angry at me?â
