“Don’t get me wrong, Abel.” Benjamin got up. “The Adelmars will kill me if anything else happens to Emma!”

“That sounds more like it,” Abel said with a low voice. “You shouldn’t keep thinking about my wife.”

“Just go home, Ben.” Emmeline noticed how the man was bristling from jealousy. “I’m fine. Don’t worry, Ben.”

“Yeah, no.” Benjamin shot Abel a look. “I don’t care how a certain someone feels about this but I’m staying. I’ll worry if I’m not here.”

“Do whatever.” Abel smiled bitterly. “Stay away from the bed. I can’t guarantee I won’t get my men to throw you out if you cross me.”

Benjamin moved his chair aside. “Is this fine?”

Abel sat at the edge of the bed, took Emmeline’s hands into his own, and nodded. “That’s fine.”

Both men fell silent.

There was another knock on the door.

“Are you okay, Ms. Louise?” It was Daisy.

“Daisy and I are here, Ms. Louise.” That was Sam.

Abel got up to answer the door.

Both Daisy and Sam immediately piled in, pushing Abel and Benjamin aside.

“How are you feeling, Ms. Louise?” Daisy teared up as she approached the bed. “You scared us.”

“Yeah.” Sam was wiping her tears away. “Why didn’t you tell us where you were going? Your personal bodyguard does nothing but brew coffee all day.”

“I’m fine.” Emmeline assuaged their worries. “Look. I’m fine.”
