The parents rushed over to help the child up.
Helios was crying his eyes out in Evelyn’s arms.
“Hush now, hush now, honey.” Evelyn gently patted his head.
“Helios!” Abel rushed over to him and asked, “How are you?”
“Daddy!” Helios cried. “That scared me to death!”
“It’s fine. It’s fine now.” Abel hugged Helios while Evelyn sat on the floor. She looked pale and her forehead was covered in sweat.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt?” Abel asked.
Evelyn looked at her arm and said, “Ouch, I’ve cut my arm and it’s bleeding.”
The commotion alerted Luca as he rushed over with a few bodyguards. They did not even have time to react due to how sudden everything happened. Abel handed Helios to Luca and comforted Evelyn. “Ouch.” Evelyn groaned before collapsing into Abel’s arms. “My leg…”
Abel held onto her and noticed the swollen bruise on her ankles. He said, “Oh no, you’re hurt.”
“It hurts really bad.” Evelyn sobbed.
So, Abel carried her in his arms and left the crowd.
Benjamin cradled Emmeline and allowed her to lie in his arms. He did not want her to see what happened, but she did and this hurt her so much that she cried.
“Hush now Emma. It’s alright.” Benjamin comforted her. He continued, “Abel was just helping her and he absolutely resents her. I watched him kick her out of his office.”
“But if this goes on, I’m worried that they might fall for each other. What should I do then? I still have four kids.”
“It’s fine.” Benjamin patted her back and said, “Your health matters more. I will come up with something to deal with this. Besides, you are smart and you must have a way to get him to fall for you again.”
“But feelings are different, right?” Emmeline sobbed and said, “You big dummy! Why must you stick your nose into this…”
“You can’t blame me,” replied Benjamin as he continued, “I mean we’re worried about his life and he won’t be able to live if your life is in danger. What do you think will happen to your kids then?”
“Yeah.” Emmeline sobbed and said, “Let’s try to think of something when we get back. I will make sure that dummy falls for me again.”
