Chapter 108 She Won
“I’m sorry, Mr. Ryker. We did what we could.”
“Then save Alana. Do whatever it takes!” Abel’s eyes were bloodshot.
“Yes, Mr. Ryker!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Luca turned his head and inadvertently noticed Emmeline, her face pale.
Her eyes were filled with tears. The baby is gone. That’s an innocent life!
“Ms. Louise is here,” Luca reminded Abel.
Abel turned his head and noticed Emmeline’s frail figure.
“Emma,” he called out softly and reached out to her.
“Abel.” Tears were falling down Emmeline’s face. “I’m sorry. I didn’t expect this to happen. If I had
known, I wouldn’t have fought the assassins…”
Abel hugged her tightly and said, “Silly girl, we were all trying to save Grandfather. It’s not your fault!”
“But the child is gone!” Emmeline sobbed. “It doesn’t matter what we were trying to do, the child is
gone!”
“I didn’t want it to happen either. I don’t want to marry her, but I don’t want the child to die either!”
“It’s all my fault… You were trying to save me.”
“No, this one’s on me. It has nothing to do with you.” Abel smiled wryly. “I guess I owe her one now.”
“You owe her? How are you going to repay her?”
“We’ll see if she survives.” Abel sighed. “I guess that’s fate…”
He looked at Benjamin and smiled. “Mr. York, please help me send Emma home.”
…
Emmeline did not see Abel for the next three days.
She knew he had been waiting at the hospital.
Alana’s condition remained critical for three days.
Emmeline did not eat during that period.
Daisy was extremely anxious.
“You shouldn’t torment yourself like that, Ms. Louise. Didn’t you always say to let it go?”
“But…” Emmeline felt a lump in her throat. “Alana hasn’t woken up yet, and she lost her child. If she
dies, that’s two lives lost. I can’t help but blame myself..”
“It’s not your responsibility to bear,” Daisy said. “Alana wanted to save Mr. Ryker.”
“But Abel put himself in danger to save me.”
“You wanted to save Oscar!”
“I shouldn’t have interfered!”
Daisy shook her head. “Tch. You’re not the type of person who’d do nothing when seeing someone in
danger!”
“But… It seems that Abel is so distant now. We fell in love at first sight, and things were progressing
smoothly.”
“I don’t see how this affects things.”
“But what if Alana dies?” Emmeline wiped her tears. “That would put a psychological barrier between
us, wouldn’t it?”
If she doesn’t die, she’ll be a physical barrier between the two of you! Daisy thought but decided not to
say it.
Alana did not deserve to die after all.
Daisy only sighed.
“It doesn’t matter if she dies or not. Abel and I are irrevocably affected by this incident.” Emmeline
sniffled. “I thought Adrien was the only obstacle, but now there’s Alana.”
“Sigh, I guess you two are just not meant to be,” Daisy said before slapping herself. “Silly me. I’m
running my mouth again!”
There was a knock at the door.
Daisy went to answer it. It was Benjamin.
“Mr. York! What brings you here at this time of the day?”
“Do I need a reason to come here? The entire Struyria knows I have a crush on Ms. Louise. No one
would suspect anything!” Benjamin said.
“That makes sense.” Daisy nodded.
The move was unconventional, but it allowed Benjamin to protect Emmeline publicly.
Emmeline’s eyes were still bloodshot. “Benjamin, has Alana woken up?”
Benjamin nodded. “I came here to tell you that.”
When she heard that, Emmeline felt hollow all of a sudden.
She had to admit she was relieved to hear the good news, but she nonetheless felt uncomfortable.
Suddenly, she felt dizzy. She had not eaten for three days, and the hunger was setting in.
Benjamin spoke to Daisy, “Ms. Louise is hungry. Make her some oatmeal.”
She’s finally eating! Daisy was delighted. She ran to the kitchen.
Benjamin looked at Emmeline’s pale face and smiled wryly. “Looks like Alana has won this time.”
Emmeline’s eyes widened. “She won?”
