Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1426

Abel hesitated momentarily, then sighed. “Maybe it’s not as bad as you imagine.”

“But… Emmeline’s voice wavered. “I’ve already promised Mom; I can’t break it now!”

He furrowed his brow, contemplating the situation. “You might be right. If we can ease the burden on Aunt Kimberly’s heart, it could help with her depression.”

She said, “It seems like Mom has been hurt before. Has something happened to her in the past?

Abel gently cupped her face, reassuring her, “That’s not something you need to worry about, and it’s certainly not your fault. Don’t dwell on it. As he touched her face, he realized she was running a fever. Concerned, he exclaimed. “Emma, you’re running a fever! I should take you to the hospital!

Emmeline clutched his hand, her eyes welling up with tears. “No! I don’t want to go anywhere. I want to return to the company’s dormitory. I just want you with me.”

He tried to reason with her, saying, “But you have a fever.”

Tears streamed down her face as she admitted. “I don’t want to be separated from you, even if it’s just for a second.”

He held her close, planting a tender kiss on her forehead. “There’s no need to worry, babe. Listen to me. We’ll go to the hospital, and I’ll stay by your side.”

Emmeline contemplated whether sacrificing herself would somehow improve her mother’s condition.

At the company, he would change into work. attire and meticulously oversee every aspect of the production line. The quality of the prodicts was paramount for the company’s growth, leaving no room for neglect.

He would return to the hospital at night, resting on the couch in Emmeline’s ward. His appearance grew gaunt, but his resolve and composure only strengthened, radiating an authoritative presence.

One afternoon, as he emerged from the workshop, Alana approached him.

“Abel, why don’t I care for Emma at the hospital, and you can rest in the dormitory?” she suggested.

“No, he replied in a distant and indifferent tone. “Emma might get scared if she doesn’t see me!”

Alana was left speechless and felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart but persisted, saying, “You look exhausted. You really should take a break.
