Chapter 118 Eager for a Smoke

Emmeline scanned the room and noticed a chair next to the window. “I’ll sit over there,” she said to Adrien.

Adrien picked up his chair and placed it next to hers. They sat next to the window side by side.

After the nurse parked Alana’s wheelchair in the room, Oscar said, “The medical personnel can leave. I’ll call you if I need anything.”

Quentin replied, “Yes, Mr. Ryker!”

After Quentin and the nurses left, Abel closed the room door and placed his chair next to it.

Alana said softly, “Abel, I’m feeling a little dizzy. Can you sit next to me? I’m afraid I might fall.”

Abel was speechless. This woman is so much trouble!

“Abel? Alana saved your life. Did you promise you’d do whatever she wants?”

“Ahem!” Abel put his fist into his mouth and coughed twice before moving his chair next to Alana.

Alana smiled and gently placed her slender fingers on his thigh.

Emmeline rolled her eyes toward the ceiling. If I have to see this, I should’ve kept my shades on! Argh, the wind from outside is very strong.

Emmeline turned her chair toward the window.

“Emma, Grandfather tended to his garden well. I’ll accompany you for a walk after the meeting,” Adrien said eagerly.

“Okay!” Emmeline pointed at a patch of tulips at the other end of the garden. “Look at those flowers. They’re beautiful!”

“I’ll pick one for you.” Adrien was surprised that Emmeline was friendly toward him. “No, I’ll pick for you however many you want!”

“And those purple roses too!” Emmeline smiled. “They’re gorgeous!”

“I’ll pick them all for you!” Adrien was all smiles. “I’ll pick the moon and stars from the sky if you tell me to!”

Emmeline waved her hand. “Nah, I’m fine. I have those at home.”

The two people chatted happily as though they had forgotten the purpose they were gathering.

“Ahem!” Oscar coughed deliberately.
