When Emmeline, dressed in a protective suit, came into the ward, she was stunned by what she saw.
Abel… looks just like the boys' father!
But…
Julianna, behind her, said nonchalantly, "Abel, you might only be the boys' uncle, but we're grateful for your help. I wish Adrien hadn't gotten himself into such trouble. He should've been more responsible."
Abel stood up and gazed intently at Julianna. "Aunt Julianna, I'm doing this for Star and not for Adrien. He shouldn't have gone to the Imperial Palace!"
"What's done is done. We're also very worried for him! Fortunately, he received the PEP injection in time. Who knows what might happen if he hadn't?"
"If he insists on going there, it's only a matter of time before he gets attacked. He might be lucky this time, but it better not happen again!"
"I'll take care of my own son! You don't have to worry about him!" Julianna snorted coldly and stood up. "All of this wouldn't have happened to Adrien if Adam was the CEO of Ryker Group! He would've been a capable worker."
Abel noticed that the "Wonder Doctor" had arrived. He escorted her into the ward.
"Mm," Emmeline answered and stole a glance at him from the corner of her eye.
She went up to Hesperus' bed and turned her head away so that her son did not see her eyes.
Even though a visor shielded her face, she believed Hesperus could recognize her if he saw her eyes.
She took the boy's pulse and inserted several Five-Elements needles at certain points.
"How is the boy, Ms. Wonder Doctor?" Abel asked in a low voice.
"I can only stabilize his condition. He'll be fine in the short term," Emmeline spoke in a hoarse voice. "But there isn't anything that can completely cure his symptoms for now."
"What should we do?" Abel asked worriedly. "Please find a way to save him!"
"Your best option for now is a bone marrow transplant," Emmeline said. "Every time the boy's blood disorder is triggered, it'll be a life-and-death experience for him. He might not be so lucky the next time, and I might not be able to give you the medicine before the inevitable happens."
"I…" Abel was feeling hopeless.
"It's not the end yet. Now that the boy's condition is stabilized, you should take the opportunity to find a suitable donor."
"I know," Abel said. "I'll find a way. Thank you!"
"Don't mention it." Emmeline felt a lump in her throat.
Benjamin quickly took her arm, and they left the ward hurriedly.
After seeing the "Wonder Doctor" off, Abel felt something was amiss. He quickly rushed over to the outpatient department.
He opened the door to the observation room. Emmeline was lying on the bed facing away from him. The saline bottle was almost empty.
Abel was slightly surprised.
Emmeline turned around and smiled at him. "I'm feeling a lot better, Abel. At least I'm not dizzy now."
Daisy quickly added, "Yes, Mr. Ryker. She's fine now."
Phew! Ms. Louise made it back just in time! She thought.
"I'll get the nurse to remove the needle." Abel went over and pressed the call button next to the bed.
"How is Star?" Emmeline asked.
Abel was silent for a moment. "The Wonder Doctor did her best."
"Does Star need a bone marrow transplant?"
Abel nodded. "Mm."
"But Adrien… His blood is contaminated," Emmeline said helplessly.
"I might be able to help," Abel said as he took Emmeline's icy hands. "I'm Star's relative. I might be compatible."
Emmeline lowered her head. "Star is so lucky to have you, but…"
"No buts. I'll save him however I can. Ever since I first met him, I've never considered him to be someone else's child," Abel said.
Tears rolled down Emmeline's cheeks.
If Abel could say that, she had nothing more to ask for.
"Thank you, Abel."
Abel hugged her tightly. "Don't cry, Emma. I'm here for you!"
"Mm!" Emmeline nodded. Abel always made her feel secure.
Benjamin, peeking in from the window, sighed when he saw that.
