Chapter 1347 Fortunately, I Caught Up with You
Emmeline tilted her head and didn’t speak for a moment. She was a born vegetarian, and when asked what to eat,
she often became clueless.
Abel ruffled her hair and said, “How about we go to the lake?”
Emmeline thought for a moment and replied, “Sure, there’s a lakeside restaurant with fishing options. You can have
grilled fish, and I’ll have vegetables. Sounds pretty good.”
Abel then held her little hand and escorted her to the passenger seat.
“God knows how picky you are when it comes to eating vegetables! You won’t eat any onions, ginger, garlic, or
parsley. I even have to meticulously pick them out for you!”
“Is that a complaint I’m hearing?” Emmeline pouted.
“Only I can stand it,” Abel teased her. “Other people wouldn’t even bother entertaining you.”
Emmeline smiled playfully. “Don’t bother yourself with me then. Find yourself a girlfriend to bother with!”
Abel immediately turned grim. “Don’t you dare go there!”
“It’s only natural to find a girlfriend; people your age are already parents.”

But no matter who he found, she wouldn’t be the girl he truly wanted.
The front was crowded with people, and the car couldn’t move forward. Abel turned off the engine and got out of
the car to assess the situation.
It turned out a worker installing a billboard by the roadside had fallen from the scaffolding. It seemed that he had
broken his leg, and he was writhing on the ground in pain.
“Tony?” Abel immediately recognized the injured person with half of his face covered in blood. It was Tony, the head
of the Publicity Department at Altney Transport Company.
Tony, with blood on his face, pleaded with trembling lips when he saw Abel, “Abel, please, take me to the hospital!”
Abel didn’t hesitate. He lifted the burly man onto his shoulders, and Emmeline, seeing Abel carrying an injured man,
quickly opened the car’s rear door.
With that, the car sped off to the city hospital.
The Emergency Department treated him. He had facial abrasions and a fractured tibia in his right leg. He was
transferred to the Orthopedics Department for surgery.
Abel immediately contacted Tony’s family.
“Thank goodness I ran into you. Thank you, Abel, Tony said, enduring the pain.
Abel asked, “Why were you installing billboards?”

Tony chuckled self-deprecatingly. “The Publicity Department was disbanded, and they formed the Transport
Advertising Department. I had to take up some side jobs to earn some extra income for my family.”
“Many organizations are doing the same. Our factory is unstable right now,” Abel remarked.
“Yeah, even the department stores in the city are transitioning, implementing individual contracts,” Tony replied.
“Our factory is considering the same..Our current products aren’t selling well.”
“Abel, if you can, consider taking over a factory.”
“I don’t have that kind of money.” Abel smiled. “And it’s not that easy to secure approval from the Bureau of
Commerce,”
“I have relatives in the Bureau of Commerce. If you’re serious about it, come talk to me, Tony suggested.
Abel contemplated for a moment. He had thought about this before. However, there were many influential people
in the factory, and he, a young man who had worked his way up to deputy department head based on
performance, might not have the chance.

When Tony’s family arrived, it was already noon.
The surgery was scheduled for three p.m.
Tony’s wife didn’t come, but there was a tall and somewhat dignified young man who appeared to be around
twenty-six or twenty-seven.
Tony introduced him as Benjamin York, the captain of the Transport Company’s Inspection Team.
Abel had heard of the formidable Inspection Team at the Transport Company, and he had also heard of Benjamin.
Abel extended his hand, saying, “Captain York, nice to meet you.”
Benjamin smiled warmly. “Nice to meet you too.”
“Word out there is that you have cracked major cases and are a renowned inspection hero,” Abel said with a
smile.
Benjamin continued to smile humbly. “Oh, please, I’m not that special.”
Tony chimed in, “When you take the bus and mention that you’re Benjamin’s wife, they don’t even charge you for a
ticket. One time, I caught four different ladies saying that.”
Benjamin laughed. “People are very kind, but the truth is, I don’t have a wife.”
This remark made everyone burst into laughter.
