Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 459

“I would’ve too. I stopped the first bullet, but I couldn’t stop the second one…” Abel said regretfully as he noticed Sam’s tears streaming down her cheeks. “Who is her real family? Is it the Adelmar family?”

Sam nodded gently without speaking.

“Who heads the family?” Abel asked.

“I… can’t say…” Sam shook her head.

“I’ll find out tomorrow anyway,” Abel reminded her. “You might as well tell me now.”

“No,” Sam said, avoiding Abel’s eyes. “If you find out on your own, no one can say it’s because I told you…”

“Huh! The girl is tight-lipped, it seems…” Abel chuckled.

“I’m only here to escort you onto the island before I have to return to Struyria,” Sam continued. “If you meet Ms. Emmeline, please let me know how she is.”


“Since you’re already here, why don’t you just come along with us? Luca asked.

“I don’t know how the Master would react when he meets you,” Sam explained. “I should steer clear of him to avoid being punished. He’s already angry enough that I failed to protect Ms. Emmeline. He gave me an earful through the phone that day…” Sam’s lips quivered as she spoke.

“That’s not your fault. It was mine,” Abel frowned.

“It was my carelessness,” Sam maintained. “I should’ve kept my eyes on Ms. Emmeline at all times, whether she liked it or not…”

“No point arguing over that now,” Abel interrupted her. “So what does Benjamin do here?”

Sam shook her head again. “I’m not at liberty to say, Mr. Ryker. You’ll find out soon enough.”

Abel’s frown deepened. The woman was doing an excellent job at keeping mum.

“The best I can do is show you the way to get to the island, or you might end up spending days or even months trying to find it.” Sam repeated. “I wasn’t sure if Mr. Ryker’s body could take it, so I rushed over.”

Mm,” Abel nodded briefly. “Thank you.”

“I’m also doing it for Ms. Emmeline,” Sam raised her head, finally looking Abel in the eye. “I know you were good to her.”

“Luca,” Abel called out for his assistant. “Take good care of Sam, make sure she has some food to eat. We’ll set sail first thing at dawn.”

“Yes, Mr. Abel,” Luca responded immediately before turning to Sam. “Your room is ready. Why don’t you have a shower while I get some food ready for you?”

Sam’s cheeks turned slightly pink again. “Thank you, Luca,” she said softly before turning to Abel. “Thank you, Mr. Ryker.”
