“Emma!” Abel panicked. “What happened? How did this happen? How did you get into a car accident?”
Emmeline closed her eyes and repeated the same words, “Ben, make him leave! I don’t want to see him.”
“Emma!” Abel held Emmeline’s uninjured hand and said, “Don’t scare me. Tell me what happened. Don’t be afraid; I’m here. Tell me what happened.
She lowered her head and cried.
Benjamin grabbed Abel’s arm and coldly said, “You should go back. Emma doesn’t want to see you!”
“What happened to Emma?” Abel also grabbed Benjamin’s hand. “Tell me, what happened last night?”
“Abel?” Benjamin frowned and asked, “Don’t you know what happened?”
“I was with clients from Luminara last night, had a meal, drank too much wine, and slept through the night.” Abel said, “I don’t know what happened. No one informed me!”
Benjamin grabbed his collar and gritted his teeth. “Abel, I can knock you down with three punches.
Abel clenched his teeth and raised an eyebrow. “You can try, but tell me how Emma got hurt.”
“Fine! I’ll tell you!” Benjamin said. “Why was Emma driving in the middle of the night? I don’t. know. All I know is that she got into an accident. I called you on your phone to inform you, but you rejected the call and turned it ofl?”
Abel shook his head. “No, that’s not what happened.”
Benjamin continued, “Emma was calling for you while she was unconscious. I couldn’t bear it, so I sent my men to find you at Ryker Group, and they saw… Benjamin clenched his teeth.
Abel frowned and asked, “Saw what?”
“You turned off your phone, disregarding Emma’s life and death, and you were sleeping with another woman!” Benjamin shouted.
Abel was stunned, then sneered and asked, “Benjamin, why are you accusing me like this? Do we have any grudges?”
She didn’t want to say anything anymore as she had already seen the truth from last night. Her trust in Abel since childhood had collapsed. The world she once knew was overturned.
She didn’t know who she could trust like that anymore.
Abel leaned against the hospital room’s door, looking up with tears. His heart broke, his blood dried up, and he had no strength in his legs.
He clenched the diamond ring in his hand, causing pain in his palm.
Benjamin lit a cigarette and handed it to him.
“How do I explain to Emma now?” Abel cried without tears. “What did she see?”
“She saw you holding another woman in your arms.” Benjamin said, “That’s why she lost focus while driving and ran a red light.”
“Emma came back last night.” Abel sobbed, “She came back to find me, but I… How could this happen? I drank a lot; I was unconscious, but I didn’t do anything!”
