Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1387

Back at home, the clothes of the three of them were soaked in sweat. Kimberly was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

Emmeline and Abel snuggled on the sofa and recounted the details of what had happened to Maxwell.

“I still had two years left before I could retire properly. This won’t do. I’ll apply to the company to expedite the process of internal placement.”

Maxwell was a key company employee, leading a team of over thirty workers, and had been working on the frontlines for many years. His treatment was quite favorable, and undergoing internal placement might affect his retirement benefits.

Emmeline didn’t say much. She also worried that her mother might have another accident, but with her father by her side, it would be better.

The next day, they went to the Altney Behavioral Health Center.

Emmeline and Abel arrived at the outpatient building and explained their mother’s situation to the doctor in detail.

“The patient does not meet the requirements for hospitalization,” the doctor said. “I recommend home care with medication for relief.”

“We’ve tried various modern and traditional medicines, but they haven’t had much effect,” Abel replied.

“This is a recurring condition in itself.” the doctor frowned. “Take it slow and provide good care.”

“Is there really no better solution?” Both of them were feeling worried.

“Not at the moment.”

They both fell silent and sulkily left the hospital after grabbing the doctor’s several prescriptions.

“Let’s hope the medicines the doctor prescribed will have some effect,” Abel reassured Emmeline with at heavy heart.

“But these medications can’t be taken for a long time, can they?” Emmeline lowered her gaze.

“It’s a process. Maybe it’ll get better in a year or so.”

“I’m grateful to have you by my side,” Emmeline choked up. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do. Just like what happened last night with my mom on the railway tracks…”

Emmeline didn’t finish her sentence, as she couldn’t bear to dwell on the fear of losing her mother.

“Last night’s situation is a nightmare that will haunt me for the rest of my life,” Abel sighed. “I never want to think about it again.”
