Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 5

As soon as they arrived at the hospital’s entrance, Abel stepped out of the car, and the chauffeur took off toward the basement parking lot. With Helios fast asleep in his arms, Abel resisted the temptation to nibble his lovely plump cheeks. Although Abel had a son of similar age, it was his mother, Rosaline, who had been raising him. Having only seen images of his son, Abel wondered if his kid would be as adorable as the one in his arms.

After receiving word that her son was on his way, Rosaline waited patiently in the foyer for him to arrive. Her eyes lit up when she saw him. “Abel, my dear boy!”

“Hey, mom,” Abel greeted back. As he was often away from home, he had little opportunity to speak with his mother. Rosaline noticed the child in his arms and instinctively reached her hands out to carry him.

“Good boy. I didn’t know you went home and brought Timothy along,” she said.

“No,” Abel explained while passing Helios to his mother, “This is Helios. I haven’t met Timothy yet.”

“Helios?” Rosaline frowned. With Hesperus upstairs, she was taken aback by another unknown child! They also looked very identical to each other, perhaps…

Rosaline’s heart trembled as she asked, “Whose child is it?”

“He said his mother is Emmeline Louise.”

Emmeline again? Rosaline frowned upon hearing Emmeline’s name. At this point, that wretched woman had built a reputation for herself in Struyria! Despite being frustrated, Rosaline could not deny the adorable and chubby little boy in her arms. It would have been wonderful if Helios and Hesperus were her grandchildren too.

“So, is it true that Emmeline gave birth to your children?” Rosaline raised an eyebrow at her son.

“I only met one woman.” Abel said firmly, “Five years ago when I returned to fulfill my duty as a member of the Ryker family.”

“But they look so similar to you.” Rosaline was about to suggest Abel to take a paternity test but ended up believing her son’s claim that Alana was the only woman he had slept with. Unfortunately, Abel despised Alana for her malicious scheme. Despite Alana giving birth to Timothy, he refused to acknowledge her as his wife and put off getting married.

They went to the highest floor and visited Oscar. From the looks of it, his condition had not improved. After a while, Abel walked out of his room with a somber face.

“Don’t worry,” Rosaline reassured Abel with Helios in her arms, “Your father had asked for the Wonder Doctor and the doctor agreed to treat your grandfather tomorrow.”

“Alright then.” Abel massaged his forehead as he responded, “I’ve heard the doctor’s superb medical skills. At least there’s hope for grandpa.”

“Let’s head back to the mountain villa to rest. You must be tired from taking such a long flight.”

“Yeah!”

Suddenly, Hesperus emerged from the resting area opposite of them. “You must be daddy, seeing how handsome and stylish you are.”

“Timothy?” Abel frowned. “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be in school?”

“This isn’t Timothy!” Rosaline exclaimed embarrassingly, “This is Star, Hesperus!”

“Hesperus? Whose son is this?” A chill went down Abel’s spine as he could already somewhat guess the answer.

“It’s Emmeline’s.”
