Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 626

Evelyn held Adam’s hand. “But if Emmeline really is an Adelmar Clan member, will you still take her side?”

“Of course,” said Adam. “I don’t have any grudge against them, so I’ll still take her side.”

“So why are you investigating?”

“Because…” Because my grandfather has beef with them. He couldn’t say that in front of everyone though, and he didn’t want his grandfather to attack Emmeline.

Mr. Ywain knew the reason, but since Adam was saying nothing, he kept quiet as well.

Evelyn hiccuped. “I’m going to be your wife soon, and still you’re taking her side?”

“You should figure out how to get her to save you,” said Adam. “Even if I am marrying you, I won’t accept you when you’re in this state.”

“I…” Evelyn cried. “I won’t bow to someone like her.”

“Then you’ll live your life out in a wheelchair.” Alana sneered. “Is that a life you want?”

Evelyn was silent for a while, then she said, “I’ll do it for a while. Then I’ll scour the best hospitals in this city. There’s no way they can’t cure me. Not when this is just primitive shamanism.”

“You are stubborn,” said Mr. Ywain. “If this is an Adelmar tactic, not even the best medicine in the world can cure you. Why aren’t you bowing your head?”

“I just don’t want her to give me that smug grin of hers,” said Evelyn angrily. “I’m putting my faith in doctors.”

“Fine, suit yourself,” snapped Adam. “We should go now.”

Mr. Ywain said, “Mr. Ryker, I have something to say. If she is not cured in five days, then she’ll be paralyzed forever.”

“I see.” Adam nodded. “She’s the one calling the shots here, not me.”

“Hear that?” Alana pinched Evelyn. “Don’t bet your whole life on this.”
