“That is why I’m worried about Mr. Abel. I’m Emmeline’s friend after all. I’m afraid her family and her children won’t be able to take it after something like that happened…” Evelyn said while sobbing.
It made Kendra feel sorry for her. She said, “Wait for me. Let me go inside and ask Mr. Abel again.”
“I’m sorry to trouble you. I’m just helping Emmeline check on her family. I’ll be relieved to see that they are fine.”
Kendra went inside and came back out after five minutes.
“How? Does Mr. Abel allow me to go in?” Evelyn asked anxiously.
Kendra shook her head and said, “You better leave. Mr. Abel was not feeling well. He is resting.”
“Mr. Abel is not feeling well? I should go inside then.” Evelyn said.
“Mr. Abel has a stomachache. Without his approval, we dare not open the gate. I’m really sorry. Ms. Evelyn, please leave.”
Evelyn said as she saw Kendra turning around, “Please tell Mr. Abel that I’ll be waiting for him until I see that he’s fine. Otherwise, Emmeline might not be able to rest in peace.”
Kendra was crying badly, but she still walked back inside while carrying Quincy.
Abel was lying down on the sofa after taking the medicine. His stomachache was relieved soon. He fell asleep for two hours. As he was wondering where he could go to find Emmeline, he walked to the window and saw a shadow pacing around in front of the entrance. Then, he finally remembered Evelyn saying she would not leave as long as she did not see him. It was cold outside, and Evelyn was wearing thin clothes.
Abel was reluctant, but he still called Luca, “Ask Evelyn to come in. It’s getting late. It would be bad if something happens to her.”
“Yes, Mr. Abel.” Luca was waiting in the living room. He ran to the entrance after getting the call.
Within five minutes, Abel could hear Evelyn’s heels as she walked upstairs. Then, Evelyn knocked on the door.
“Mr. Abel, I’m here to see you. Does your gut still hurt?”
Abel said from inside his room, “Get Kendra to arrange a room for you. Please leave immediately tomorrow morning.”
Evelyn said from outside the door, “I don’t mind leaving, but do you feel better? The nanny said you are having a stomachache.”
“I’m fine. Don’t disturb me. Go to your room.” Abel said.
Evelyn said, “All right, then. I’m relieved when I hear your voice and know you are fine. Otherwise, Emmeline will…”
“Don’t speak about Emma. You have no right to speak about her.” Abel’s angry voice was heard from inside his room.
“Yes, Mr. Abel.”
Evelyn walked downstairs and sneezed.
“Ms. Evelyn, did you catch a cold?” Kendra asked.
“I’m fine. Catching a cold is nothing compared to the pain Mr. Abel is going through right now.” Evelyn said with a smile.
“Let me bring you to the guest room. You’ll be fine after taking a hot shower.” Kendra said.
“Sure. Thank you, Kendra. Let me help you carry Quincy.” Evelyn said with a gentle smile.
Kendra led Evelyn into her room and went downstairs into the kitchen. She planned to do something light for Abel. After 40 minutes, Kendra went upstairs and asked Abel to eat. Abel was still exhausted, but he agreed. Kendra went downstairs and met Evelyn, who just finished taking her shower.
