Chapter 623 Evelyn Crawls

"I know Benjamin likes her too," said Adam. "But he's a businessman first and foremost. He wouldn't do anything she wants just because of love."

"That's right," said Evelyn. "I think Abel did say that Emmeline's some sort of bigwig. I thought he was bluffing, but now… now I don't think so. And Emmeline's a fighter too. She beat me up and did something to me. And now I'm paralyzed. It's obvious Emmeline is more than meets the eye. She might have some powerful backer."

"Is that so?" Abel whispered, "The Adelmars?"

"The Adelmar family?" Evelyn gasped. "I think Rosaline mentioned that before."

"What?" Adam looked at her. "Explain that."

"I…" Evelyn shook her head. "I can't. I vaguely remember Rosaline bringing that name up once, and then nothing."

"You said she did something to you?" Adam frowned. "And then you got paralyzed?"

Evelyn teared up and nodded like a hurt puppy. "Yes."

"Try moving around," said Adam. "It might be a coincidence."

Evelyn pushed herself up, but she leaned ahead and fell. "I can't. I have no feeling from the waist down."

"So she did this to you?" Adam's frown deepened.

"Can't explain this otherwise," said Evelyn.

"I see." Adam said, "I'll take you to Sunny Avenue. There's one Mr. Ywain there. He knows about the esoteric arts. He can see if the attack is an Adelmar skill."

"Can he heal me then?" Evelyn cried. "I want to pee, but I can't even get out of bed."
