The three of them supported Kimberly and hurriedly left the outpatient building-
Ring!
Abel’s phone rang, and he quickly glanced at it. It was a call from Alana,
Annoyed, he pressed the reject button.
The ringtone sounded again, and Abel decided to turn off his phone.
He hurriedly returned home and found his mother sitting on the sofa, silent and dazed.
Emmeline sat beside her, wiping away her tears.

Abel gently applied an ice pack to her face. He felt both pain and regret in his heart. If he had known it would turn
out like this, he wouldn’t have gone to the hospital.
She wouldn’t be able to go today, what with her swollen face and eyes.
Maxwell smoked one cigarette after another, his face dark.
He felt dizzy as if his blood pressure was rising again.
At this moment, Brandon’s assistant, Dylan, called.
He said he had already landed in the provincial capital and would arrive in Altney in the afternoon.

schedule a meeting in the World Trade Building tomorrow.”
Her eyes were filled with sorrow, but her expression revealed determination.
Abel’s heart ached so badly that it made it hard for him to breathe. He embraced her small shoulders and kissed
her hair. “Emma, I’ll arrange everything for you. Don’t worry. Rest well, and don’t think about anything.
“Okay!” She nestled into his arms and closed her swollen eyes.
He truly wished that Emmeline could peacefully stay in his embrace like this, where she didn’t have to care about
anything or go through bad experiences. He would take care of everything.
Yet, life was full of disappointments and ups and downs.
He could only do his best to protect her and help her.
After having pasta for lunch and seeing Emmeline fall asleep, Abel returned to Altney. He first inspected each
workshop and then returned to his office.
There was a pot of blooming jasmine on his desk.
Normally, Abel would find the fragrance of flowers pleasant, but at this moment, he felt overwhelmed by the scent.
He picked up the flowerpot and placed it in the corridor after opening the door.

“Mr. Ryker, don’t you like the flowers?” Alana walked over. “I put it on your desk this morning to improve the air
quality.
“I don’t need it,” Abel said coldly with a frown. “Don’t add random things to my office.”
Alana’s face sank for a moment before it returned to normal. “You left in a hurry yesterday afternoon and didn’t
lock the door, so I came in this morning to tidy up. Mr. Ryker, have you not come back all this time?”
Abel’s face darkened. “Do I have to report to you? And you can’t come into my office whenever you please.”
“The city leaders came this morning for a safety inspection,” Alana said. “Your phone was turned off, so I had to
come in and get the documents myself.
He sneered. “Your father is here, right? He’s not a figurehead. If I’m not here, he should at least entertain the
guests on my behalf, right? All he does is just read newspapers and drink tea!”
“You’re the one who made him a figurehead in the first place.” Alana lightly chuckled.
“If he does his duty as a figurehead, he might be able to enjoy retirement. Abel sneered again. “If he messes up,
you know the consequences.”
Alana was rendered speechless. She knew how ruthless this man was, and she also knew that she and her father
were actually living off Abel’s generosity.
“What about Emmeline?” Alana blinked and changed the subject. “Why haven’t I seen her?”
“What’s it to you?” Abel snapped. “If there’s nothing else, you can leave!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Can’t I care about her? Alana looked at Abel. I genuinely care about Enima.”
“You care about her?” Abel scoffed. “You care about whether she’s by my side or not!”
“That’s not true, Abel, Alana said hurriedly. “After all, Emmeline is your sister. I also feel sorry for her.”
She tried to make her gaze appear sincere, wanting to show that she cared about both Emma and Abel.
However, Abel coldly laughed in his heart. Who would believe that?
“Abel.” Alana walked up to Abel and said in a gentle tone, “Could you please agree to something for me?”
Abel pondered for a few seconds. “What is it?”
“Today is my birthday.” Alana’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears. “No one has ever celebrated my birthday
before. Can you… spend my birthday with me?”
“Your father is in the second–floor office, Abel said sarcastically. “You should ask him about this!
“He doesn’t even remember my birthday. The teardrop on the edge of Alana’s eye rolled down her cheek.
“I’m going back to Altney Steel tonight, Abel said calmly. “Find someone else.”
Alana didn’t know what to say. She knew Emmeline was still at Altney Steel, and Abel was going back to accompany
her.
