The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Chapter 14

Chapter 14 You’re Finally Here

“Their names seem to be Helios, Endymion, and Hesperus? They say the Rykers had wronged their Mommy and put her in prison. They think they are going to end up becoming orphans.”

Abel frowned. Just as he thought, Benjamin was talking about the triplets.

“Mr. Benjamin,” he started. “I can’t help you with that. Their mother tried to murder my grandfather!”

“Hey now.” Benjamin scoffed. “What motive does she even have for attempting to harm Mr. Oscar? There must be some kind of misunderstanding.”

“…” Abel seemed stunned by his words.

It was indeed far-fetched to claim Emmeline attempted to murder Oscar to marry him.

She already knew her children were Adrien’s and had no reason to pester him.

“What does Wonder Doctor want?” His voice was hoarse.

“The children’s mother is innocent,” Benjamin said. “Wonder Doctor says she’s not going to grace him with a consultation if you don’t free the woman. Let me know how you want to handle the matter!”

Beep!

Benjamin cut the call.

“F*ck!” Abel cursed.

It didn’t matter whether she was guilty or innocent. She wouldn’t be able to escape from his grasp.

He had no choice but to do as Benjamin asked to save his grandfather.

His face was dark.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Abel?”

Abel didn’t bother with her and immediately called for Luca. “We’re going to the detention center!”

Emmeline was curled up on the wooden bed in the small, dark room.

Her clothes were covered in filth, giving her a disheveled appearance. She looked as if she had been beaten.

Abel’s heart inexplicably ached at the sight. He cleared his throat. “They hit you?”

“This woman lies as she breathes,” the watchman said. “You know this, Mr. Ryker. Everyone gets beaten up when they get sent here.”

“She’s a woman!”

“It doesn’t matter whether she’s a man or a woman. She’s a criminal all the same.”

“She might be…” Abel shook his head. She was definitely not wrongly accused!

“Emmeline!” The warden stomped on the plank bed and shouted viciously, “Get up. Mr. Ryker is here to see you!”

The woman’s eyes fluttered open as she clambered to sit up in a daze.

Seeing her this way felt heart-wrenching.

“What are you doing here?” She asked in an icy tone.

“I’ve spoken with Mr. Derrick and negotiated for your release!”

“You’re releasing me?” She joyfully sprang to her feet. “You believe I’m innocent, Abel?”

“Far from it!” he growled. “But you need to leave this place right now!”

“Well, forget it then!” She flopped back down on the plank. “I’ll leave once you find the true culprit and clear my name!”

“No!” The veins on his forehead bulged in his anger. If this farce continued, his grandfather was going to die!

“I refuse to admit to a crime I didn’t commit!”

“You need to leave with me!”

“You need to clear my name!”

“I don’t have time for this!”

“Scram!” She covered herself with the blanket.

“Tch!” He haphazardly tore it off her then picked her up into his arms and left.

“Put me down.” She struggled to get out of his hold. “I’m not leaving!”

“I’ll clear your name!” He tightly hoisted her in his arms, his expression as dark as the pits of hell itself.

This stupid woman is pissing me off!

Emmeline finally felt a tinge of fear as he sped up and clung onto him in response.

Outside the detention center, Abel turned to Luca. “Tell Wonder Doctor that I’ve gotten the woman out!”

“I’m free?” Emmeline suddenly piped up.

“Free?” He scoffed. “You’re a hundred years too early to see freedom!”

He stuffed her into the car with a cold snort. “We can talk about your freedom once my grandfather regains consciousness!”

Back at the hospital, Abel shoved her into a utility room.

“Stay!” He squeezed her jaw. “I’ll clear your name if my grandfather survives!”

He locked the door and left.

After returning to the ICU, Luca spoke up, “Wonder Doctor has answered, Mr. Abel.”

“What did she say?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“She says she’ll be here.”

Abel finally relaxed.

Alana turned pale.

I just solved the crisis. How is everything falling apart again?

I should’ve just killed that old fool!

Abel stood at the ICU door with a five-million-dollar check in hand. At midnight, two people in white protective clothing came out of the elevator.

Everyone held their breaths.

He narrowed his eyes and muttered, “You’re finally here, Wonder Doctor.”

The duo in protective clothing brushed past him when Wonder Doctor shot him a glance.

It just so happened he was also watching her intently.

Their eyes met, leaving him with a feeling of being struck by lightning.

He had noticed Wonder Doctor’s eyes were odd since their last meeting because those were Emmeline’s eyes!

Emmeline?!

He reached out to grab her!
