Abel was at a loss for a reply. He honestly did not consider that.
Judging from his current situation, it would not take him two more triggers before the cracks spread to his face.
"This can't go on, Abel," Benjamin said. "I think you should come clean to Emma."
"Do you want her to worry?" Abel said. "If there's no known antidote, how do you think Emma would react when she heard the news?"
Benjamin thought for a while and remained silent.
Abel was right. Instead of letting Emmeline worry, it was better to keep the truth from her.
Meanwhile, back in The Precipice, Emmeline sat on the sofa and stared blankly at the screen.
Abel is acting very strangely. He must be hiding something from me.
Also, he's deliberately keeping his distance from me! What's going on with him?
No, I have to look for him at Ryker Group!
Emmeline stood up from the sofa.
"Ms. Louise, are you going upstairs?" Kendra asked.
"Mm. I'm going upstairs to change, then I'm going to look for Abel at Ryker Group," Emmeline said.
No, she can't! Mr. Ryker said he didn't go to Ryker Group!
"It's very late, Ms. Louise, and you can't see that well yet. You shouldn't leave the house," Kendra said.
"But I'm worried about Abel." Tears started to well up in Emmeline's eyes. "I think he's hiding something from me."
"That can't be!" Kendra said with a smile. "He is absolutely loyal to you, and he won't have anything to hide. You must be overthinking it."
"I have to find Abel no matter what. He can explain it to my face if he's not hiding anything!"
Emmeline turned around and went up the stairs.
Kendra was anxious. How could she stop Emmeline from going out?
She thought for a while and ran up the stairs after Emmeline.
Emmeline went into her room, opened the closet, and took out a change of clothes.
"Well, I won't stop you if you want to go, Ms. Louise. I suppose that's for the best," Kendra said.
"Yes. I don't want any misunderstandings between us. I feel like I should clear the air with him," Emmeline said.
"That's true. I'll go and get the driver," Kendra said after helping Emmeline change.
The two women exited the bedroom.
