A garment gently draped over her shoulder.

Emmeline was startled and turned around with pleasant surprise. “Abel!”

Yet, to her dismay, Benjamin was the one who had placed the garment on her.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Perhaps it was disappointment or resentment.

“Abel couldn’t find you. He’s going crazy!” Benjamin sat down beside her, embracing her trembling shoulders.

“Where is he?” She tearfully asked. “Where is he? Why didn’t he come to pick me up?”

“He couldn’t free himself from something important.” He said, “He’ll be back tomorrow morning.”

Abel didn’t want Benjamin to inform Emmeline about Maxwell being hospitalized.

Since the situation had already stabilized, there was no need to upset her again.

He wanted her to have a good night’s sleep today, and it wouldn’t be too late to take her to the hospital tomorrow morning.

“Tomorrow morning?” Emmeline furrowed her brows lightly. “What is he doing outside?”

“Regardless, he hasn’t done anything wrong” Benjamin said. “Abel wants you to enjoy your pasta and get a good night’s sleep. Just wait for him to return.”
