Chapter 1348 Protecting You With My Life
Nurses came in to prepare for the surgery. Emmeline, not wanting to be present, went downstairs first.
Before long, Abel also took his leave.
Tony said, “Abel, thank you for saving me today. If you plan to take over the factory, remember to come and find me.”
Abel nodded and replied, “I will consider it.”
Emmeline waited in the garden downstairs in the hospital. She hadn’t eaten breakfast, and by this time. her stomach was growling.
Abel hurriedly approached her, saying, “It’s all my fault for delaying things for so long.”
Emmeline smiled and said, “But you looked really handsome when you saved that person!”
Abel chuckled and said, “Sarcastic, aren’t you?”
Just as they were about to leave, Benjamin rushed over. Mr. Ryker, your phone.”
Abel then realized he had forgotten his phone.
“Thank you. I appreciate you taking this trip,” Abel expressed his gratitude.
“These days, good phones are hard to come by,” Benjamin said with a smile as he swiftly walked away.
“This guy seems quite formidable,” Emmeline remarked.
“I heard he’s quite influential,” Abel said.
“But didn’t they call Tony’s wife over? Why did the Inspection Team Captain show up?” Emmeline wondered.
“I’m curious about that too, but we can’t really ask, Abel replied.
The two of them arrived at the lakeside and found a lakeside restaurant to have lunch.
Abel’s mind was filled with thoughts about taking over the factory, and he couldn’t help but talk to Emmeline about it.
Emmeline said, “It’s not just in the business sector; the education department is undergoing reform too. Recently, there was a round of staff reshuffling in schools. I guess teachers like us, with unstable positions, might end up being assigned to certain small enterprises.”
“Let it be. You don’t need to worry. You have me,” Abel said.
I’m not worried at all; I’ll go wherever I’m needed. I never really liked being a teacher in the first place,” Emmeline replied.
“You can’t say that. Being a teacher is a stable job, and it’s recession-proof. After the reforms, who knows what the situation will be like?” Abel remarked.
“Fortune favors the bold, and the timid go hungry,” Emmeline said. “Abel, be bold, and I’ll support you.”

“I’ve only saved up a few thousand dollars to get married; if I invest it all in the factory, I might end up relying on you,” Abel teased.
Emmeline laughed, I’m not afraid; I’m a vegetarian. Rely on me all you want. Either way, all you get are cabbages and radishes.”
Abel burst into laughter. With a sister like Emmeline, he felt truly blessed. He only realized what happiness meant when he was with her.
“Abel.” Emmeline frowned thoughtfully. “The woman who marries you in the future will definitely be very happy, right?”
Abel replied. “Regardless of who she is, it’ll be a disgrace to the man if he can’t make his woman happy.”
“What if I marry a man who can’t make me happy? What should I do?” Emmeline pouted, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
Abel lifted her chin, his deep gaze locked onto her, “I’ll protect you with my life forever.
Tears welled up in Emmeline’s eyes. Is Abel making a promise to me? But in the future, he will marry another woman, and I, too, will marry someone else, right?”
After all, even though they weren’t related by blood, they were still family.
