"I'll listen to what you say and marry Alana."
"Alright then," Oscar said. "It's decided!"
Abel was overjoyed. He could not wait to go out of the room and tell Emmeline the good news.
"Wait!" Oscar stopped him. "Talk is cheap. Let's sign a contract between us!"
"Contact?" Abel did not expect that.
"What if you go back on your word? What should I do with Alana?"
"That works." Abel was confident that the Wonder Doctor could treat Alana. "We'll sign a contract then!"
"If the Wonder Doctor can't treat Alana in a month, you'll have to propose to Alana!"
"Okay!"
"If Alana fully recovers, you're a free man!"
"Yes!"
"Give me a pen and paper!"
The assistant handed a pen and paper to Oscar. Abel hand-wrote the contract, and he and Oscar affixed their signatures on it.
That matter was settled for now.
Abel came out of the room with the contract. He was going to call Emmeline to tell her the good news.
I told you I'll settle the matter. See, it's settled!
"Abel!" Adrien was waiting for him in the corridor. "You're done talking with Grandfather, right? Contact the Wonder Doctor now! I can't wait!"
"Yeah, I remember." Abel dialed Benjamin's number.
At the moment, Benjamin was on the balcony of the café pushing Emmeline on the swing.
He heard from Daisy that Emmeline was in a foul mood, and he wanted to cheer her up.

Benjamin's other phone began to ring.
That was a number exclusively for medical services. Any time that phone rang, someone was looking for the Wonder Doctor.
Not many people in the world knew the existence of that number. Any person who called that number was not a random customer.
Benjamin picked up the phone that was on a small wooden table.
He could tell from the screen that the call was from Abel.
Benjamin hesitated to answer the call.
"Who is it?" Emmeline noticed that Benjamin was not picking up.
"…Abel Ryker," Benjamin said.
