“If there’s no antidote available for three to five years,” Emmeline glanced at Luca, “Does that mean Abel and I will grow apart? Won’t we end up waiting for each other indefinitely?”
“It’s not that serious, right?” Luca scratched his head, feeling embarrassed. “It’s a big deal…you can only observe from a distance, but you can’t participate… That’s all.”
Observing at a distance?
That’s all?
Emmeline pouted, feeling both ashamed and angry. “Well then, just you wait. Today, I’ll transfer Sam back to Adelmar Island so you won’t even have the chance to observe from afar!”
Luca was speechless.
“Slap!” He slapped his head.
Why did he feel like he kept saying the wrong things since yesterday?
“That’s enough.” Emmeline said, “I was just joking with you, I won’t bring Sam to Adelmar Island.”
“Then that’s good,” Luca replied.
After he finished speaking, he felt that he was being too obvious and felt embarrassed.
“However,” Emmeline continued, “I intend to marry her off sooner, and she will not be permitted to remain single,”
Get married?
Luca was taken aback. He would not be able to marry someone else.
Wasn’t he still there?
He did not dare to talk about this with Emmeline.
It was better to wait for Abel to wake up and let him decide. Plus, it was easier to talk with men.
The following day, Abel remained unconscious.
Emmeline gently held his wrist, searching for his pulse.
The pulse came and went, indicating that the toxicity was gradually subsiding.
Feeling slightly relieved, she sat beside the bathtub, cradling Abel’s hand in her small palm.
His hand was exquisitely shaped, with slender fingers and well–defined joints, exuding an inexplicable allure.
Just like him, despite being stained with blood, he could not hide his striking good looks.
His chest was strong, his waistline defined, and his abdominal muscles taut.
His legs were lean yet powerful.
Emmeline could not help but gaze at him, her heart secretly fluttering.
“Knock! Knock!” A sudden knock reverberated through the basement door.
Luca rose from the bathroom and approached the door cautiously. Speaking in a hushed voice, he asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s me,” Kendra’s voice responded from the other side.
