Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1429

“I apologize, madam, Emmeline stated. “I got momentarily distracted. Did I inadvertently cause you any harm?”

The middle–aged man expressed his concern, “Distracted while driving? Who taught you that?” His legs gave way as he attempted to stand, and he stumbled.

His companion, a middle–aged woman, clung to him and worriedly asked, “Jorge, are you alright?”

Jorge Zephyr frowned and replied, I can’t move my right foot.”

Initially, Emmeline believed they had fallen and could get back up. However, panic surged when she heard his revelation about his immobile foot, and she responded, “I’ll drive you to the hospital.”

“Let’s hurry to the hospital, then!” The middle–aged woman assisted Jorge in standing and climbed into Emmeline’s car with a hint of annoyance.

Emmeline remained composed and focused as she safely transported them to Altney Steel Central Hospital.

They completed the registration process, proceeded to the emergency room, and underwent an X–ray. examination.

The doctor explained, “It’s a sprain; you need rest, and I’ll bandage it.”

As the doctor attended to Jorge’s ankle, the middle–aged woman borrowed Emmeline’s phone and called home.

After half an hour, a young man arrived in his mid–twenties, he bore a strong resemblance to Jorge, likely his son.

“Hank Zeller, your Mr. Jorge hurt his foot,” the middle–aged woman informed the young man.

Emmeline felt momentarily bewildered as various thoughts raced through her mind. This young man resembles Jorge’s son, so why did he refer to Jorge as Mr. Jorge instead of Dad? Also, his last name is Zeller, not Zephyr! Could it be that the middle–aged woman had an affair and gave birth to a child with someone else?

The doctor had already treated Jorge’s foot, bandaging it and applying medication to the abrasions.

Emmeline covered all the medical expenses.

The middle–aged woman expressed her concerns, saying, “Just doing this is not enough. How should we handle Jorge’s future implication?”

“Madam, please tell me,” Emmeline hurriedly responded. “I’ll take responsibility for whatever you think is appropriate

“I’m not blaming you,” the middle–aged woman assured. “Leave a thousand bucks, and we’ll consider it settled.”

“Michelle, Jorge interjected. “Forget it. It’s not a big deal!”
