Kendra stood at the gate, holding the medicine and feeling very regretful.
Why did I not think of it earlier?
Mr. Abel has been experiencing stomach issues in the past few days.
It is really bad.
Kendra turned around and was about to enter the gate, but she saw a taxicab approaching her.
Only one villa called The Precipice was in this area, and the taxicab was heading towards The
Precipice.
Kendra stopped in her tracks.
The taxicab stopped at the gate, and the door opened, but Evelyn stepped out.
She was wearing a long white dress, with her hair loosely tied up, looking delicate and pretty.
Kendra was surprised to see her, “Ms. Evelyn? Didn’t you leave early this morning? Why did you come
back?”
Evelyn said, “I had a fever last night. Mr. Abel took me to the hospital.”
Kendra said, “Mr. Abel took you to the hospital? No wonder I didn’t see you this morning. Are you
feeling better now?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvelyn said, “I had an infusion, and the fever is gone. I go back to the hotel to change clothes and
come back here.”
“But Mr. Abel has already left on a trip. You should go back,” Kendra said.
“I bought some medicine for Mr. Abel,” Evelyn said. “He was in so much pain last night that he couldn’t
stand straight. Am I too late?”
“Yes,” Kendra was about to return to the main gate.
Evelyn said, “Wait. When will Mr. Abel come back from his trip? What is his trip for?”
“Don’t ask about it,” Kendra said. “I need to go back to the kids.”
“Kendra,” Evelyn stopped her, “Mr. Abel is not at home, so there is no one else here, right?”
“Um,” Kendra nodded, “Only me and my daughter and a few workers.”
“Then can I stay here with you? I can help you take care of the kid.”
Kendra considered it and concluded that it was a good idea.
As the only woman in the villa, she felt it was better to have Evelyn as a accompany.
“Then come in,” Kendra agreed.
Six hours later, the helicopter landed at the airport on an island in the Osea.
Leaving the airport, Abel, Luca, Janie, and four bodyguards went directly to the reserved hotel.
After a brief rest, they started searching for the location of Adelmar Island.
However, as Abel had anticipated, Adelmar Island was not marked on either the paper or satellite
navigation maps. Even the residents were clueless when asked.
Things suddenly became difficult.
With over 20,000 islands in the Osea, were they going to search for them one by one?
Abel commanded, “Luca, hire one hundred local fishermen and ask them to investigate each island. I
don’t believe we can’t find it!”
Janie said, “We can also offer a reward on the media. Someone will come with helpful clues.”
Abel said, “Let’s stick with the fishermen. It’s not easy to leak the news this way.”
This reminded Janie that offering a reward through the media to gather clues might not be a good idea
if the Adelmar family became aware of it.
It would be okay if they were willing to meet, but if they were not, it would backfire.
“Also, rent a yacht, and we’ll go out to search.”
After finishing his deployment work, Abel held his stomach again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuca frowned and asked, “Are you having stomach pain again, Mr. Abel?”
Abel replied, “Yes, I forgot to bring my stomach medicine when I came.”
“I’ll go buy it,” Janie said. “What kind of stomach medicine does he usually take?”
Luca said, “Let me go instead. You’re a young girl and not familiar with the place.”
Janie retorted, “Are you familiar with the place?”
Luca replied, “Of course not, but it’s safer for a man to go than a young girl.”
Janie did not say anything after that.
Luca left the hotel and went to look for a pharmacy along the street.
As he was walking, his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was Sam calling.
Luca and Sam had each other’s phone numbers and added each other on WhatsApp, but they had
never talked on the phone before.
They only communicated on WhatsApp when Sam helped Emmeline return the rent to Abel and
transferred money to Luca.
They had never even chatted on WhatsApp before. Luca was excited when Sam suddenly called and
quickly answered the phone.
“Sam?”
