Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1457

Emmeline sat up and gently touched Abel’s face in the darkness. “Abel.”

He instinctively embraced her and reassured her in a hoarse voice, “I’m here, Emma. You don’t need to bet afraid.”

“You have a fever, she whispered anxiously. “Wake up.”

“It’s fine. I’m okay,” he mumbled. “I just need some rest.

She cried out in distress. “You’re burning up. You can’t continue like this!

He didn’t respond. She didn’t know if he had fallen asleep or lost consciousness due to the high fever,

She quickly turned on the flashlight on her phone and made her way to the bathroom, relying on the light to guide her.

She wet a towel with cold water and returned to place it on Abel’s forehead.

Despite Emmeline’s efforts, his body temperature continued to rise.

She fumbled in the dark for the door and descended to the first floor, following the dim emergency lights in the corridor.

As she walked down the dark and unfamiliar corridor, the wind howled outside, and she felt as if she were trapped in a nightmare.

The hotel receptionist was dozing off at the counter. Emmeline woke her up and asked for some medication to treat the fever.

After returning to her room on the fourth floor, Emmeline dissolved the pill in a glass of warm water and fed it to Abel.

Gradually, he began to sweat.

She unbuttoned his pajamas and used a towel to wipe the sweat off him.

As his fever rapidly subsided, it eventually disappeared by dawn.

She had spent the entire night taking care of him without sleep.

The wind and rain had stopped. As she looked out the window, she saw that the harbor had been ravaged. by the storm.

Abel was still asleep.

She carefully removed the bandage from his shoulder, only to discover that the wound had reopened and become infected.

After they had returned to their hotel room in the rain the previous night, she led treated his wound with the iodine she had brought from home and rebandaged it.

However, the rainwater carried a large number of bacteria, so Abel needed to go to the hospital for intravenous treatment.

Since he was still unconscious, Emmeline went to the hotel restaurant to buy breakfast.

As soon as she returned to the room, she was greeted by Abel’s tall figure.

He was standing by the window, blocking the morning light with his upright posture.

He was talking to someone from the company on his phone.

After a few words, he hung up and turned around when he heard footsteps behind him.
