Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1369

In the afternoon, the school announced the start of summer vacation.

After leaving school, it was still early, so Emmeline took a bus to Altney.

It was just a little after 5:20 p.m. when she got off the bus at the bus stop, and Abel’s call came in.

“Hey, Abel,” Emmeline sat on the bench at the bus stop.

“Hey, has school been dismissed?” Abel asked.

Technically, summer break has begun.”

Abel heard the noisy sounds of car horns and chatter coming from her phone and asked, “Emma, where are you?” I’m at the bus stop.”

“Why are you there?”

“I wanted to come and see you.”

Listen, go back home right away, don’t go anywhere else, it’s going to rain.”

“But…”

“Be a good girl…” Abel said and disconnected the call right away, leaving Emmeline to the busy signal.

“Abel…” She softly called out his name still.

In actuality, Abel was at the corner of the elementary school right then.

When he heard Emmeline say she was at the bus stop, he immediately started his car.

In just four or five minutes, he arrived at the intersection near the bus stop.

From a distance, he saw that the bus stop was empty, with no sign of the little figure he longed for.

“Emma has already gone home,” he muttered to himself.

At that, he slowly drove the car to the side of the platform, killed the engine, and lit a cigarette.

The rain started to fall, with large raindrops hitting the car’s windshield.

“Did you bring an umbrella, Emma? Will you get soaked?” Abel looked around in confusion, trying to figure out which intersection was Emma’s way back home.

After taking a few deep drags of his cigarette, he started the car and drove along the first intersection.

He drove all the way to the entrance of the community, estimating that it would take Emma several minutes to walk from the bus stop to this place.

Then, he turned the car around and drove along the second road, but still couldn’t find any trace of Emmeline.

At that, he turned into the third road and drove to the bottom of the building where they lived, but still, there was no sign of her.

Abel returned to the roadside bus station and parked the car.

He closed his eyes, and tears slid from the corners of his eyes.
