The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Abel gently patted Emmeline’s back and consoled her, “It’s okay, babe, we’re going home now. It’s over now. Don’t be afraid, be good…”

Emmeline sobbed repeatedly. She said in a teary voice, “I can’t see anything. I was powerless to deal with that bad guy. I’m so scared that he’ll hurt me. I’m glad you came.”

Tears streamed down Abel’s face as he took Emmeline’s hand and slapped his own face. He scolded himself, “Damn it! You suffered because I didn’t do a good job of protecting you. I must be punished!”

Emmeline lifted her blurry eyes toward him as she curled her hand into a fist. She commanded, “Stop hitting yourself. If you do that to yourself, it’ll hurt me too.”

“Wail!”

Abel bursted into tears. He tightly embraced Emmeline’s petite frame, lowered his head and kissed her lips. Emmeline encircled Abel’s neck with her arms, and she almost melted in his embrace. Their tears were mixing together; it was bitter and warm.

“Cough! Cough!”

Benjamin was sitting on the side, and it was too much for him. The sounds of the two making out continued even after he turned his head away. Waylon was seated in the back, so the fact that the front seat was blocking his view did not bother him as much.

They took an extended Hummer for the rescue operation this time out of convenience.

“Who’s there?”

When Emmeline overheard someone coughing, she quickly pushed Abel away. The cough clearly came from somewhere on the back of her head. Her cheeks immediately flushed.

Benjamin was too embarrassed to speak up.

Abel looked up, and he was craving a more intimate moment with his wife. He explained, “Benjamin and Waylon are here. All three of us saved you together.”

Emmeline exclaimed with joy, “Ben and Waylon?”

“Hmmm,” Benjamin and Waylon finally spoke up, “Hey, Emma.”

Emmeline was ecstatic, “Waylon! How did you get here?”

Waylon replied, “Silly girl, didn’t we say we’d deliver your dowry? Who would have thought you’d get into trouble?”

Emmeline responded, “I know, right? I was locked up in the Imperial Palace dungeon for two days. Then I lost my sight and couldn’t tell day from night. I have no idea how many days have passed. I would have wed Abel had it not been for this incident.”

Abel reassured her while kissing her forehead, “It’s not too late now. As long as you’ve come home, we can make up for the wedding.”

“Ben?” Emmeline called out to Benjamin, she reached out her hand and searched for him.

Benjamin quickly grabbed her hand and spoke out, “I’m here, Emma.”

“Janie! Have there been any updates on Janie?”

Tears started to well up in Benjamin’s eyes, and he said, “Silly girl, Janie is home. She’s okay.

Emmeline exclaimed as she joyfully clapped her hands, “Oh! Janie is home. That’s fantastic. I can finally relax when she’s fine.”

Benjamin said with a choking voice, “It’s all thanks to you. If you hadn’t risked yourself, Janie might not have been able to return to me.”

Emmeline comforted him and said, “Ben, don’t blame her! A young woman who has never been married will be terrified to death when she learns she is pregnant. When I was with Abel…didn’t the same thing happen to me?”

Abel lowered his head and kissed her lips softly. He pleaded, “Emma, have mercy on me and let your husband off the hook.”
