Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law
Chapter 1478 Come Back Home With Me

Outside the window, the rain started to fall, growing heavier throughout the night without a moment's pause.

Emma, are you feeling cold? Can you sleep at night?

Abel lit a cigarette and smoked one after another.

He sat on the floor of his new home all night.

At 6 am.. he left the house.

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air as the night rain began to subside, he went for a run- along Glazier Lake.

At 7:30 am.. he brought oatmeal and boiled eggs to Emmeline.

Emmeline noticed that he kept furrowing his brows; his face was pale, and his expression was gloomy.

Abel! she called out in her heart, feeling sorry for him. Her love for him was a secret known only to herself.

The depth of love corresponded to the depth of pain.

She reached out her hand, wanting to hold his broad hand.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Alana calling.

Abel frowned as he rejected the call. However, his phone immediately rang again.

He had no choice but to answer. After all, he was worried that something might have happened at the company.

Alana's panicked voice came through the receiver. "Abel, my dad fainted in the office!"

"Call an ambulance. I'm not a doctor," he said in a deep voice.

"Then hurry back. I can't handle it alone!" Alana said before hanging up the phone.

"D'mn it!" Abel cursed through gritted teeth.

Emmeline looked at the white walls with a calm face. A few seconds later, her lips twitched slightly. "You should go back. She can't do anything without you." Abel turned his head to look at her. "What about you?"

"It's all in the past for me, she said coldly. "Thank you for being with me all these years."

Abel swallowed hard. "So, a single sentence changes everything? Emmeline, I didn't expect you to be so heartless."

Emmeline closed her eyes and remained motionless. Her face turned ashen.

At that moment, Benjamin pushed open the door and walked in.

Abel snapped out a harsh remark. "Take care of her for me! Then, he walked out of the ward.

As his footsteps grew more distant, Emmeline could no longer hold back her tears. He has gone to help Alana. He would provide her with strength, hugs, and support..

On the other hand, Tony got married. Emmeline missed his wedding reception as she still remained in the hospital.

Two days later, the doctor informed her that she could be discharged from the hospital.

When Abel rushed over early in the morning, the room was already empty.

A sense of panic washed over him. He immediately drove straight to the World Trade Building.

When he got out of the car, he saw Emmeline in the fashion plaza on the first floor, just as he expected.

She had a bandage on her forehead with her hair tied up. She was struggling to drag the recently checked-in large package into the showroom.

As she unpacked, she selected clothes while instructing Sam and Serena to iron, hang, and write price tags.

Occasionally, she would raise her hand to wipe the sweat off her face and smooth out the hair scattered around her ears.

Abel's eyes became blurry as he watched the scene. Is that young girl the same Emmeline I had cherished all this time? Have I ever allowed her to endure such hardships? Now, she seemed capable of standing on her own.

After finishing with the merchandise, Emmeline took out a black hardcover notebook and started writing rapidly on her lap.

Abel didn't know what she was writing. In her world, it seemed as if he no longer existed.

However, her world was filled with melancholy, just like his.

From a distance, he could see the perpetual frown on her face.

It felt like a knife slicing through his heart, causing agonizing pain.

At 6 p.m., when he came to pick her up, she was already gone.

Sam said she had gone back to the rental house.

Abel didn't know where the rental house was, so Sam had to take him there.

After unlocking the door with a key, Sam immediately turned around to leave since the showroom couldn't be left unattended. Besides, she couldn't interfere in the matters between Emmeline and Abel. Emmeline was holding the black notebook with one hand and the instant noodles on the table in the other.

Abel stood at the doorway and stared blankly at her. Then, he said in a hoarse voice, "Emma, how long will you torment me?"

Emmeline seemed not to hear his words as she continued to stare at the notebook intently.

Abel then took a step forward and snatched the notebook away. He pretended to tear it apart.

"No!" Emmeline exclaimed. "That's my material about consumer psychology."

"Emma" Abel said as he grabbed her hand and looked at her pleadingly. "Come back home with me."

"That place is no longer my home." She turned her head away. "I can't go back."

"I said..." Abel's gaze intensified. "My world will always be yours. There's no such thing as no coming back."

Emmeline shook her head bitterly. "Abel, you broke your promise. My world has already been invaded. I can't go back. Please leave me alone; I'm busy."

"Emma," Abel said as his gaze deepened. "Do you really have so little faith in me?"
