"But it hurt!" Adrien exclaimed, his arm resting on Lizbeth's shoulder. He said with a bitter smile, "Liz, please take my brother to the hospital!"
Meanwhile, Emmeline's conversation with Abel was still ongoing.
Abel said, "Just wait there, babe. Hubby will pick you up."
"No need," Emmeline replied. "There's still heavy traffic here, and half of it won't be cleared."
"That won't do," Abel said. "I won't be at ease if I don't come. Once we're close by, I'll get out of the car and find you."
Emmeline knew Abel wouldn't agree if she didn't let him come over, so she nodded reluctantly. "Okay then."
With that, the conversation came to an end.
As Emmeline put away her phone, she saw Lizbeth carrying Adrien and walking back.
Adrien grimaced, his face filled with pain.
Meanwhile, Adam was surrounded by the hosts, conducting an interview as a hero.
"Adam," Emmeline waved at him and said, "Don't worry, they will interview you at home tomorrow. For now, you should take Adrien to the hospital!"
Seeing Adrien's expression of distress, Lizbeth couldn't support him either. She reluctantly said to the hosts, "We'll stop here for today. I need to take someone to the hospital!"
"Hero, I admire you!" exclaimed a host. "Can you continue for a few more minutes?"
"That's right, hero, you can't leave. The audience won't accept it if you leave!"
"Hero, I love you, I love you to death!"
Amidst the clamor, Adam felt his image towering above others.
But no matter how towering he appeared, at this moment, he had to first take his own brother to the hospital.
However, the road had not been cleared yet, let alone their vehicles. Even the ambulance was parked far away, and medical personnel had to run over carrying a stretcher.
However, the road had not been cleared yet, let alone their vehicles. Even the ambulance was parked far away, and medical personnel had to run over carrying a stretcher.
As soon as they saw Adrien's condition, the medical staff placed him on a stretcher as well.
By the time Abel arrived, the vehicles on the road were already able to move slowly.
Spotting Emmeline by the roadside, he jumped out of the back seat and rushed over to embrace her.
At that time, Lizbeth and Adam had already gone to the hospital in an ambulance.
Abel held Emmeline's hand and carefully examined her, making sure she was fine before embracing her.
"I was so scared, babe. Seeing Lizbeth's car accident, I was completely terrified."
"I thought when I called, no one would pick up. I didn't dare think about what could have happened."
"How could something like this happen? Was it purely an accident, or was it intentional?"
His last sentence stirred something in Emmeline's heart, and she raised her head in his embrace.
"What did you say, Abel? Was the car accident intentional?"
"Yes," Abel said, "I'm worried someone might target Lizbeth or you."
"Can't be true," Emmeline said. "I haven't offended anyone, have I?"
"I'm also wondering," Abel said, "Could it be the Steiner Family?"
"But didn't you say Glenn wouldn't do something like that?" Emmeline said, "Would he dare make fun of a high official?"
"That's why I'm puzzled too," Abel said. "In any case, this is suspicious. From now on, you have to obey and always go out with a bodyguard."
"That's why I'm puzzled too," Abel said. "In any case, this is suspicious. From now on, you have to obey and always go out with a bodyguard."
He then instructed Luca, who followed behind him, "I'll leave this to you."
"Yes, Mr. Abel," Luca responded.
"Are you crazy?" Emmeline asked, "Do you think I'm comfortable with four or five men sneaking around behind me?"
"It's not up to you," Abel said. "I know you're skilled, but you can't match their covert tactics. Hubby has the final say in this matter, so don't try to show off your abilities to me."
Emmeline was choked by his words, realizing he meant well for her, so she had to temporarily give up.
The driver slowly drove the Rolls-Royce over and parked it by the roadside.
The two sat in the back seat.
Luca, sitting in the passenger seat, cleverly raised the sun visor.
While holding Emmeline in his arms, Abel lowered his head and gently kissed her.
Just a moment ago, he called Emmeline and heard she was unharmed. For him, that feeling was like a lost and regained treasure.
Now, thinking about it, his heart was both startled and delighted.
It was only when Emmeline's cheeks turned red and her breathing became unsteady that Abel lifted his head.
Emmeline took a deep breath and leaned softly against him, saying, "Let's not go home. Let's check on Adrien."
"What happened to Adrien?" Abel's thumb rubbed against her swollen lips. "Is he injured?"
