Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1438

The three of them supported Kimberly and hurriedly left the outpatient building-

Ring!

Abel’s phone rang, and he quickly glanced at it. It was a call from Alana,

Annoyed, he pressed the reject button.

The ringtone sounded again, and Abel decided to turn off his phone.

He hurriedly returned home and found his mother sitting on the sofa, silent and dazed.

Emmeline sat beside her, wiping away her tears.

Abel gently applied an ice pack to her face. He felt both pain and regret in his heart. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have gone to the hospital.

She wouldn’t be able to go today, what with her swollen face and eyes.

Maxwell smoked one cigarette after another, his face dark.

He felt dizzy as if his blood pressure was rising again.

At this moment, Brandon’s assistant, Dylan, called.

He said he had already landed in the provincial capital and would arrive in Altney in the afternoon.

Emmeline whispered to Abel, “You go and receive him. Arrange for Mr. Carson to stay in a hotel first, and then schedule a meeting in the World Trade Building tomorrow.”

Her eyes were filled with sorrow, but her expression revealed determination.

Abel’s heart ached so badly that it made it hard for him to breathe. He embraced her small shoulders and kissed her hair. “Emma, I’ll arrange everything for you. Don’t worry. Rest well, and don’t think about anything.

“Okay!” She nestled into his arms and closed her swollen eyes.

He truly wished that Emmeline could peacefully stay in his embrace like this, where she didn’t have to care about anything or go through bad experiences. He would take care of everything.

Yet, life was full of disappointments and ups and downs.

He could only do his best to protect her and help her.

After having pasta for lunch and seeing Emmeline fall asleep, Abel returned to Altney. He first inspected each workshop and then returned to his office.

There was a pot of blooming jasmine on his desk.

“You care about her?” Abel scoffed. “You care about whether she’s by my side or not!”

“That’s not true, Abel, Alana said hurriedly. “After all, Emmeline is your sister. I also feel sorry for her.”

She tried to make her gaze appear sincere, wanting to show that she cared about both Emma and Abel.

However, Abel coldly laughed in his heart. Who would believe that?

“Abel.” Alana walked up to Abel and said in a gentle tone, “Could you please agree to something for me?”

Abel pondered for a few seconds. “What is it?”

“Today is my birthday.” Alana’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears. “No one has ever celebrated my birthday before. Can you… spend my birthday with me?”

“Your father is in the second–floor office, Abel said sarcastically. “You should ask him about this!

“He doesn’t even remember my birthday. The teardrop on the edge of Alana’s eye rolled down her cheek.

“I’m going back to Altney Steel tonight, Abel said calmly. “Find someone else.”

Alana didn’t know what to say. She knew Emmeline was still at Altney Steel, and Abel was going back to accompany her.

Why was Emmeline so lucky?
