Entering the villa, Kendra saw Abel and Emmeline got grass and dirt on their clothes. She wondered what happened to them.
Luca wanted to laugh but dared not to do so.
He saw the scene on the mountain just now. When Abel and Emmeline fell, Abel protected Emmeline immediately. That did not escape Luca’s eyes.
Luca believed Abel would fall in love with Emmeline again.
Back in the bedroom on the second floor, Abel hurried into the bathroom to take a shower.
There was a tingling pain in his back. When standing in front of the mirror, he saw some slight scratches. But he had no regrets.
After all, Emmeline was a woman. Whether he loved her or not, he should protect women.
After a shower, Abel put on his pajamas and lit a cigarette.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
“Who is it?” Abel asked.
Emmeline’s voice came from outside. “It’s me.”
“I’m going to bed,” Abel said coldly, “Talk about anything tomorrow.”
“It’s still early,” Emmeline said. “You’ve never gone to bed this early before.”
“The past was the past, and the present is the present. Go back to your room and sleep!”
“But your room is also mine. I also want to sleep in this room.”
“Don’t think nonsense! I don’t want to talk to you. Go back to the guest room.”
Emmeline said outside the door, “But I took the ointment. I think you must hurt your back. I can help you to apply the ointment.”
Abel thought about it. Although the wound on his back was small, he was afraid of accidentally getting an infection.
“Alright.” He opened the door.
Sure enough, Emmeline showed him a small ointment bottle.
“Come in,” Abel said nonchalantly.
