After seeing the two troublemakers, Oscar and Adam off, Emmeline hurried back to The Precipice without any delay.

Abel had regained consciousness, and while she was delighted, she also felt deeply concerned.

How should she face the sight of bloodstains covering his body?

Not only did it cause him pain, but how could he bear for others to see him in such a state?

If she applied ointment to his wounds, he might not even be able to put on clothes.

Abel was a proud man, would he allow her to witness his vulnerable side?

As Emmeline had anticipated, when she hurriedly returned to The Precipice, Abel had already locked himself in his study.

“Abel,” Emmeline knocked on the door gently. “Let me see how you’re doing. Don’t you understand how worried I’ve been?”

“Go away!” Abel’s voice echoed from inside the study. “What are you talking about? I’m perfectly fine!”

“Why are you saying you’re fine?” Emmeline’s eyes welled up with tears, and she almost mentioned the bloodstains covering his body. But she quickly realized it might embarrass him, so she changed her approach. “You’ve been unconscious for two to three days. Don’t you want to see me?”

Abel remained silent

He longed to be by her side at all times, to hold her in his arms forever.
