“Abel?” Adrien’s sobs came to a halt. “You’re back alive, that’s good news! So why do you look like that when you’re with Abel? Don’t you want him to see you happy?”

Emmeline’s expression darkened and she shook her head. “It’s not that simple,” she replied.

“What do you mean?” Adrien asked, confusion etched on his face. “Am I missing something?”

“Abel might not be pleased to see me,” Emmeline said. “He was given a drug that made him lose his feelings for me.”

“That’s ridiculous!” Adrien exclaimed. “There’s no such drug, it’s like something out of a cheesy romance novel!”

“It’s not impossible,” Emmeline countered. “Such drugs do exist in the real world.”

Adrien began to believe her. “Who would do such a cruel thing to him?” he demanded. “Taking away his love for you, that’s unforgivable.”

“They did it to save him,” Emmeline explained. “I was on the brink of death, but Abel refused treatment. They were afraid he would die with me, so…”

“Well, that’s understandable,” Adrien nodded. “But what if Abel doesn’t accept you now that you’re back safe and sound?”

“I’ll have to make him fall in love with me again,” Emmeline said. “But I don’t have a foolproof plan right now, so I’ll just have to stay by his side.”
