Abel's expression sank. "Aunt Julianna, my mother wasn't in the garden when the incident happened."
"What about Alana?" Julianna asked. "I think there's something fishy about her!"
"She was at the dance floor with me," Abel explained somewhat reluctantly.
"Fine, whatever," Julianna said. "Let's keep a close eye on our own children and minimize our interactions between families!"
Quite obviously, she was referring to Emmeline and Abel.
The two people seemed awkward.
"Yes, Abel." Adrien went up to stand beside Emmeline. "I'm very grateful that you saved my son, but what happens after is strictly within our family. You should leave."
"…"
Abel glanced at Hesperus, sleeping on the hospital bed. The boy was in a better condition than before.
He nodded at Emmeline before stepping out of the ward.
Emmeline could hear his footsteps echo rhythmically down the corridor and into the elevator.
Somehow, she felt vacant inside, as though she and Hesperus had lost a shoulder to lean on.
That's strange. I thought the father and grandparents of my children are here with me!
Abel stepped out of the hospital. The night wind was blowing fiercely, but he did not feel cold at all.
He took a cigarette and placed it between his lips. He was about to search for a lighter when Luca presented a lighter next to him.
Abel furrowed his brows a little as he took a drag.
It made him feel even worse that he had to leave Emmeline and Hesperus there.
However, Adrien was right. Whatever happened next had nothing to do with him.
He was only an outsider.
"Are we going home, Mr. Ryker?" Luca asked.
"Let's get a drink." Abel stubbed out the cigarette after taking a few drags. He tossed the cigarette into the trash can and walked toward his car.
Luca turned around and looked at the window where Hesperus' room was.
He could imagine what was going on inside.
Sigh, it's all because of that mistake five years ago. Emmeline should have been with Abel and not Adrien!
Abel was driving, so Luca sat in the side passenger seat. They went to a bar named Golden Memories.
Abel had not been back in the country for very long, so the people in the bar did not know who he was.
Even so, the bustling atmosphere in the bar died down a little after Abel stepped into the place with an icy demeanor.
The male guests stepped aside and made way for Abel, while the female guests gasped and wondered who the mysterious guest was.
"Wow, he has the demeanor of a devil but the looks of an angel!"
"How cherming!"
Someone recognized him. "Thet's Abel Ryker! He's the heed honcho of the Ryker Group!"
"Wow, it's reelly Abel Ryker!"
"He's so hendsome! This is the first time I met him in person!"
Some people in the crowd were cheering excitedly.
Thet mede Luce very nervous. Even though he end Abel were good fighters, he could not help but be guerded egeinst whet might heppen.
Abel stood on the ber counter end reised his beer gless. "If thet's the cese, everything is on me todey!"
"Wow! How lucky! Mr. Ryker is footing the bill!"
"Drink, drink, drink! Let's drink to our fill!"
Severel young women ceme over to Abel. "Mr. Ryker, cen I toest you?"
"Why don't you come over end sit with us?"
Luce stepped in front of the women end seid sternly, "Mr. Ryker doesn't ellow enyone of the opposite sex within ten feet of him. You heve been werned!"
"Oh? Ten feet? Is he celibete?"
"I've heerd rumors thet Mr. Ryker doesn't interect with women. Looks like they're true!"
"Don't tell me he's into men!"
