Soon, Abel made his way to the store for drinks. Suddenly, someone bumped into him which caused him to drop his shades. When he picked up his shades, he noticed that a young woman who was wearing a face mask had bumped into him. She had a slender build and looked extremely elegant. She was staring directly at him with dreamy eyes. She was extremely attractive and Abel knew that her face mask failed to hide her beauty. Moreover, the woman resembled Emmeline. Since he had no feelings toward Emmeline, he was also unaffected by the woman. Besides, he had been living a life of celibacy for a good long while since.

"I'm sorry." The woman apologized. Her voice resembled Emmeline's.

"It's fine," replied Abel and was about to walk away. However, the woman said, "You look familiar to me."

"That excuse is overused now." Abel snapped back at the woman and continued, "You should come up with something else next time." He still looked extremely cold and emotionless when he walked away. However, the woman cried as she stared.

"Whoa, that poison sure is effective!" Benjamin approached her and said, "Did you see that?"


"It's all thanks to you," Emmeline cried as she collapsed on his chest. She sobbed, "Abel. He knew that I resembled Emmeline and he knew that I sound like her, but he was unaffected by it. I'm hurt…"

"Let's get out of here. We'll think of something when we're back." Benjamin comforted her.

"I want to see the kids, so let's wait a little longer." Emmeline pleaded.

"It would be bad if they recognized you. You don't want to complicate things now, right?" Benjamin explained.

"Of course not." Emmeline pouted and continued, "But what can I do? The poison is really effective."

"Let's think of something when we're back," said Benjamin. He continued, "It's best that you stay out of sight before Abel regains his love for you. He is known to be cold. It would only make things worse if you were to appear in front of him."

"Yeah." Emmeline nodded and continued, "Let's find an antidote to that poison before we think about how we can contact Abel. But, I thought the poison has no antidote? It's like a cold, right? It would just recover on its own?"
