StoryNovelWith a loud bang. Abel slammed his fist on the table, his handsome face contorted with anger.
“What’s happening?” Mia asked softly, referring to the phone call they had just received.
“Adam is on a mission to find Emma, his voice rumbled. We’ve set up call forwarding on Emma’s phone, otherwise...
“Otherwise, Emmeline would have been overwhelmed with calls and messages, she understood.
“Yes,” he agreed with a nod. “That’s what worries me. I’m concerned that the news will reach Emma.”
As they discussed this, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Abel promptly called out, “Come in!”
The door swung open, and Benjamin entered with confidence. His imposing presence left Mia astonished. “Benjamin York?”
Benjamin furrowed his brows as he looked at her. “Who are you?”
“I’m Mia!” She jumped to her feet, her cheeks turning red. “Have you forgotten me? The girl who fell into the artificial lake at
Coastal University, and you performed... CPR...
Recognition suddenly dawned on the man, and he offered a smile. I thought you looked familiar! It’s you!”
“It seems like you didn’t remember me,” her cheeks flushed slightly. “I still have the photo of you leading our military training!
“I’ve been an instructor for several batches, Benjamin explained. “There were so many people, it’s hard to remember.”
“But the girl you saved at the artificial lake, it was me, right?” Mia pouted.
“That’s right!” He chuckled awkwardly. “I didn’t recognize you. By the way, what’s your name?”
“That’s in the past, why bring it up?” He smiled.
“But Mr. York is still as handsome as ever!” She beamed. “You’re still the idol of the female students at Coastal University!”
“Hahaha, you really know how to flatter, Benjamin said, removing his wide–brimmed hat and placing it on the corner of the table.
“In front of Abel, no man dares to claim to be handsome!”
“Hey, hey, hey!” Abel chimed in. ‘Don’t involve me in your banter when you two meet again after such a long time.”
Benjamin became more serious and turned to Abel. “How is Emma doing?”
“She’s still in the process of recovery,” Abel reported. “And her progress is quite promising.”
That’s good, Benjamin replied with a more relaxed expression.
“Do you have any news about Zahn?‘ Abel inquired.
“Not yet, Benjamin responded. “He’s in hiding, and when he’s captured, he’ll face more than three years of imprisonment.”
“Let the authorities handle it,” Abel stated. “I couldn’t convince his parents. I came here just to find out if there’s anything else
that could affect Emma, and I’ve already taken care of everything in advance.
“The compensation for the injured party,” Benjamin mentioned. “Your financial deputy CEO has already handled the necessary
procedures. There’s only one thing left.”
“Money isn’t an issue, Abel assured. ‘What’s left?”
“Proving that Emina didn’t lend the car to the perpetrator, Benjamin explained, taking a sip of tea.
“It was Zahn who secretly took the keys and drove away, Abel said. “He can be considered at thief.
After discussing the matter, the three of them went to another location for lunch.
Meanwhile, on Emmeline’s end, her phone displayed a missed message. She opened it, and it was from an unknown number.
The message read, “Emmeline, if you have the guts, answer the phone yourself!‘
She was puzzled by the message, her brow furrowing. What does this mean? What kind of joke is this?
Seeing her staring at her phone in bewilderment, Brandon approached. “What’s wrong, Emma?”
She raised her phone and handed it to him.
Taking the phone and reading the message, his heart raced. He put on a fake smile and said, “Who’s playing a prank on you!”
Emmeline shrugged, not thinking much of it..
Brandon added, “Your phone is out of battery; I’ll charge it for you!” Taking the phone, he went to the bathroom and immediately
messaged Abel. ‘It’s me, Brandon. Someone sent at message to Emma.
Abel replied. It must be Adam!TM
“What should we do now? Emma saw it.
“Get rid of the phone.
How can we do that? You two exchange hundreds of messages every day!
‘Buy a new one and change the number.‘
Brandon answered, ‘Understood.
More than half an hour later, he left.
Emmeline got up and went to the bathroom, only to discover her phone connected to the data cable, submerged in the sink. She
was frantic, and she stomped her foot in frustration. She swung open the hospital room’s door and pulled Luca, who was dozing
in a chair outside, inside.
Luca, startled by her sudden tug, asked, “Emma, what’s wrong?”
