Entering the villa, Kendra saw Abel and Emmeline got grass and dirt on their clothes. She wondered
what happened to them.
Luca wanted to laugh but dared not to do so.
He saw the scene on the mountain just now. When Abel and Emmeline fell, Abel protected Emmeline
immediately. That did not escape Luca’s eyes.
Luca believed Abel would fall in love with Emmeline again.
Back in the bedroom on the second floor, Abel hurried into the bathroom to take a shower.
There was a tingling pain in his back. When standing in front of the mirror, he saw some slight
scratches. But he had no regrets.
After all, Emmeline was a woman. Whether he loved her or not, he should protect women.
After a shower, Abel put on his pajamas and lit a cigarette.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Emmeline’s voice came from outside. “It’s me.”
“I’m going to bed,” Abel said coldly, “Talk about anything tomorrow.”
“It’s still early,” Emmeline said. “You’ve never gone to bed this early before.”
“The past was the past, and the present is the present. Go back to your room and sleep!”
“But your room is also mine. I also want to sleep in this room.”
“Don’t think nonsense! I don’t want to talk to you. Go back to the guest room.”
Emmeline said outside the door, “But I took the ointment. I think you must hurt your back. I can help
you to apply the ointment.”
Abel thought about it. Although the wound on his back was small, he was afraid of accidentally getting
an infection.
“Alright.” He opened the door.
Sure enough, Emmeline showed him a small ointment bottle.
“Come in,” Abel said nonchalantly.
Emmeline also took a shower and changed into pink suspender pajamas, which made her look sexy.
Abel only glanced at her, then closed the door again.
Emmeline was about to enter, but now Abel shut the door and caused her to almost hit the door.
“Hey, Abel!” Emmeline knocked on the door. “I have to apply the ointment on you!”
“I know it,” Abel said, “But change into another pajama!”
“This one is already fine. If I change it again, it’s like wearing nothing!”
“Change into a more conservative one!” Abel growled toward the door, “Are you trying to seduce me?”
Emmeline pouted. He guessed it.
However, she refused to admit it. “I didn’t!”
“Your clothes are too revealing! You’re seducing me on purpose!”
“You can’t blame me just because I have a good figure!”
Abel felt itchy in his nose and seemed to have a nosebleed again. He hurriedly pinched his nose and

“Okay!” Emmeline answered in disappointment, “I’ll change it.”
After a while, Emmeline knocked on the door again.
“I changed it. See if this one is okay.”
Abel opened a crack in the door, then glanced at Emmeline. He saw she wore white cotton pajamas,
which were long-sleeved and long-legged.
“It’s okay now.” Abel opened the door.
“I’ll apply the ointment on you,” Emmeline said. “There are many stones and thorns on the mountain. I
think you must have some wounds on your back.”
Abel responded, “Yes, I got a lot of small abrasions, but they’re not serious.”
“It’s better to take some ointment. It’ll be troublesome if you get infected.”
Abel nodded. “Okay.”
“Lean over it.” Emmeline pointed to the bed. “Take off your pajamas.”
Abel glanced at her reluctantly.
