“Mm.” Emmeline felt a twinge in her nose and tears welling up in her eyes. She leaned gently onto his chest.

“I told you I’d pick you up. Why did you leave on your own?” Abel grumbled.

“I…” Emmeline stammered. “Help me remove the bag from my head.”

Abel grabbed the bag and pulled it but did not manage to remove it. The other end of the bag was fastened with string.

The thugs split into two groups. Four of them fought against Luca while the other three surrounded Abel.

With no other choice, Abel hugged Emmeline close to him with one arm and used the other to fight with the thugs.

“No,” Abel said. “You’ll become a hostage if they get their hands on you.”

Emmeline thought it made sense. She hugged Abel’s neck tightly with both her arms.
