“Ahh, it hurts!” Janie exclaimed as she hugged Emmeline and burst into tears. “Emma, it’s really you,
I’m so happy! You’re finally okay!”
“Yes, I’m back, and I won’t be separated from you guys ever again,” Emmeline replied, also feeling
overwhelmed with emotions.
“Okay, okay,” Benjamin said, patting the two women’s shoulders. “Let’s sit down and talk. All this
hugging and crying is giving me a headache. Women can be so troublesome.”
The two of them finally sat down at the coffee table, holding hands.
Meanwhile, Sam was busy brewing coffee.
“What’s with the disguise?” Janie pointed at Emmeline’s mustache. “I didn’t even recognize you.”
“It’s all because of Abel,” Emmeline’s gaze dimmed. “You know he drank Worryfree.”
“I know,” Janie’s heart sank. “That’s why he didn’t stay on the island to watch over you and came back
like this. But Emma, you can’t blame him. During that time, Mr. Abel risked his life for you. Mr. Adelmar
had no other choice but to resort to such a plan. Otherwise, Mr. Abel would have really died.”

survived, but Abel lost his feelings for me.”
“You two can still work on rebuilding your relationship, you know?” Janie suggested optimistically.
“Sigh,” Emmeline sighed. “I’m not so sure. Abel is a man who is naturally without desire. I really don’t
have much confidence.”
“You have to have faith,” Janie held her friend’s cold hand. “These things take time.”
“Forget about me,” Emmeline wiped her tears. “How about you and Ben? What’s going on?”
“Us?” Janie glanced at Benjamin. “Still the same.”
“Ahem!” Benjamin cleared his throat twice.
Emmeline understood what was going on in Benjamin’s mind, as she always did. She decided to drop
the topic.
Just then, Benjamin’s phone rang with a ding.
He looked down and saw that it was Ethan calling.
“Emma,” Benjamin said, “should we tell your brother about your situation?”
“Not for now,” Emmeline replied. “You know how my brother is. If he finds out that Abel has lost his
feelings for me, he will definitely confront him. And before you know it, the whole world will know about
it.”
“That means we’ll keep it from him for a few more days,” Benjamin said. “He keeps asking me how his
little sister is doing.”
Emmeline’s nose tingled, and her eyes started to water. She knew her brother loved her more than
anything and would never change.
“I already told your brother that you’re recovering well,” Benjamin continued. “So he won’t worry so
much.”
“Okay,” Emmeline said. “That’s probably for the best.”
With their coffee finished, Sam announced that lunch was almost ready and they headed upstairs.
Emmeline and Janie also entered the kitchen.
Before long, a sumptuous lunch was served and everyone sat down to eat.
After lunch, Benjamin and Janie returned to Adelmar Group, while Emmeline went to her bedroom to

She lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Finally, she decided to go to Ryker Group.
Although Abel was not fond of Emmeline, he treated “Emmett” very well.
Emmeline longed for Abel’s tenderness.
Emmeline got up, freshened up her makeup, grabbed her car keys, and planned to drive herself.
Once at the parking lot, she realized that she had forgotten where she parked her car before the
accident.
She wandered around the parking lot, trying to find her car, when suddenly a big hand covered her
mouth from behind, and she was dragged into a car.
Emmeline was about to resist when she caught a whiff of a sweet fragrance, and everything went
black.
When she woke up, she found herself lying on a large sofa, feeling weak and limp all over.
The scene around her was unfamiliar, and she sat up abruptly.
“Awake?” came a hoarse voice from above her head.
Emmeline jumped in surprise and turned around to see a tall, muscular man standing behind her.
He was dressed in a black suit, had a rugged mustache, and had a sinister look on his face. It was
Adam.
