Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 874

“…He said it’s quieter in the study,” Emmeline said.

Rosaline did not say anything. She knew her son desired quiet places.

Emmeline knocked on the door and said, “Abel, your mother is here to see you.”

There was a short moment of silence before Abel’s voice was heard. “I’m fine, Mother. You don’t have to see me.”

“Why can’t I see you? I know you’re ill, but you’re still my son, and I’m worried about you!” Rosaline said while frowning suspiciously.

“I have a skin disease,” Abel said. “I’m slathered in ointment, and I’m in my pajamas. It’s not very appropriate.”

“You’re my son! I’ve seen you naked before! Why are you so shy all of a sudden? Open the door and let me take a look at you. I’d feel uneasy if I don’t see you,” Rosaline said.

“It’s very contagious, Mother. I don’t even let Emma see me. You should leave.”

“What illness is it?” Rosaline became even more uneasy. “You should be in the hospital! Why are you staying at home?”

“The doctors have already attended to me,” Abel explained patiently. “They slathered ointment all over me and told me to stay at home. I’ll visit you in a week.”

“You don’t have to lie to me,” Rosaline said unhappily. “Open the door and let me look at you!”

It was the first time Abel thought his mother was so stubborn.

“Open the door!” Rosaline knocked on the door. “You don’t have to explain to me. Is it so hard to show yourself to your mother?”

Abel thought for a while and went to the bathroom to look at himself in the mirror.

The cracks on his skin had faded a little compared to a few days ago, but it was still horrifying.

He wondered what his mother would think of him.

He also knew his mother would not give up if she did not see him.

“Alright then.” Abel tidied his black night robe and stood in front of the door.

“Mother, you can come in yourself. Emma, you should stay outside.”

Emmeline was silent. She wanted to see Abel very much.
