The incident that occurred in the square went completely unnoticed by everyone except Abel and Albus!
“Why did you tackle me? Albus asked. “You scared me.”
“I was afraid that motorcycle would hit you, Abel replied, clutching his left shoulder in pain.
“Well… Thank you!” Albus thanked him, even though the motorcycle was far away from him!
Regardless, Abel had good intentions. He truly cared for his family!
Albus couldn’t help but smile.
What is he laughing about? Abel furrowed his brows. Is he finding pleasure in my misfortune by looking at my injuries?Consider yourself lucky!
He gritted his teeth. He couldn’t bear it in his heart at the last moment, but there would never be another chance!
They arrived at the clinic to clean and dress the wounds.
The doctor frowned. “How did this happen? The wound is quite unusual!”
“I got scratched by a stone that flew off a car on the road, Abel explained.
Albus wanted to add something, but Abel kicked him under the chair.
The doctor didn’t ask any further questions and gave Abel more than ten stitches after injecting anesthesia.
After going back and forth like this, it was almost 10 am.
“Don’t go to work,” Abel said to Albus. “Stay in the hospital room and watch over Maxwell. I’ll go pick up. Emma!”
“It’s strange.” Albus scratched his head. I took a leave of absence, so why is the company looking for me? There hasn’t been any activity.”
Albus returned to the hospital room to check on Maxwell while Abel drove back to Altney with one hand to pick up Emmeline.
The shoulder injury was not light, but the anesthesia hadn’t worn all yet, so there was no pain.
However, blood kept oozing out.
Half of the white shirt sleeve was soon stained red.
After parking the car downstairs in the backyard, Abel ran up the stairs in three steps.
“Emma!”
He saw a small white figure and immediately embraced her in his arms.
Emmeline tightly held onto Abel’s neck, sobbing, “Where did you go? You made me so worried!”
Abel patted Emmeline’s back and said, “It’s okay. Everything is fine now. Don’t worry!”
Emmeline furrowed her delicate eyebrows, raised her fist, and punched Abel’s shoulder. “How can everything be fine? You almost scared me to death. Do you know that?”
This punch landed right on the wound on Abel’s shoulder.
Abel cried out in pain. The anesthesia had already worn off, and the pain was intense!
