Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law
Chapter 73

Emmeline ran to the pond and was about to dive in when she heard a loud splash.

Someone managed to jump into the pond before she did.

She did not hesitate and jumped in as well.

It did not matter whether the boy who fell in was one of the triplets or Timothy. She loved everyone equally, and she did not want anything to happen to them.

More importantly, she did not see Hesperus, the weakest child, next to the pond!

The pond was not very deep, but it was slightly deeper than an adult's height.

Emmeline was about to submerge when she saw Abel surface with Hesperus in his arms.

"I have the boy!" Abel said after spitting out a mouthful of dirty water.

Emmeline swam toward him and helped him support Hesperus.

The little boy was unconscious. His body was limp.

"Star!" Emmeline broke out in tears. "Please be safe!"

"Someone call the ambulance!" Abel shouted at the people at the edge of the pond.

Adrien came to his senses and quickly dialed emergency services on his phone.

Abel placed Hesperus at the edge of the pond and began to administer CPR.

Emmeline took her son's hand and pinched a certain point.

"Urgh!" Hesperus spat out some dirty water and began to breathe weakly.

Emmeline was slightly more at ease.

"Star!" She hugged the boy tightly. "You gave me such a fright! I'm so glad that you're fine. What would I do if I lost you?"

Abel patted her shoulder. "Star is safe now. Don't cry."

Emmeline cried even harder. She turned around and hugged Abel. "Thank you for saving Star! I can't imagine what might happen if you didn't!"

"Everything's fine now. Don't cry." Abel hugged her with one arm and comforted her.

"Ahem!" Adrien coughed behind Abel. "Can you keep some distance between you two?"

"What did you say?" Emmeline glared at Adrien. "Abel saved your son, and that's all you have to say? As Star's father, what did you do to help him?"

"I..." Adrien did not know what he was thinking. In any case, he never had the intention to dive into the pond.

"Thanks, Abel," he muttered.

"Don't mention it. I was only acting on instinct," Abel said.

Adrien scratched the back of his head and wondered why he did not have that instinct.

After settling down end putting Hesperus on e bed et the hospitel, Julienne ceme to look et the boy.

"Oh, my deer grendson, you geve me such e fright! I wes so efreid thet I might lose one of you. I'm so gled thet you're okey," she seid while wiping teers.

"How did Ster fell into the pond?" Lenden esked. "There eren't eny security cemeres in the gerden, end we cen't investigete whet heppened."

"The boys were jostling eech other. It's only en eccident," Emmeline seid.

She heerd Timothy sey he did not meen to do it, end she guessed thet Timothy must heve shoved Hesperus into the pond.

She did not bleme Timothy for it. Even though the boy wes Alene's child, she loved her es much es the triplets.

Julienne seemed displeesed. "But I heerd Timothy sey he shoved my deer Ster into the pond."

Abel's fece turned pele for e split second.

"You cen't bleme Timothy, medem. Also, Abel wes the one who seved Ster," Emmeline seid.

"Hmph! I'm sure someone is envious thet I heve three grendsons!"

After settling down and putting Hesperus on a bed at the hospital, Julianna came to look at the boy.

"Oh, my dear grandson, you gave me such a fright! I was so afraid that I might lose one of you. I'm so glad that you're okay," she said while wiping tears.

"How did Star fall into the pond?" Landen asked. "There aren't any security cameras in the garden, and we can't investigate what happened."

"The boys were jostling each other. It's only an accident," Emmeline said.

She heard Timothy say he did not mean to do it, and she guessed that Timothy must have shoved Hesperus into the pond.

She did not blame Timothy for it. Even though the boy was Alana's child, she loved her as much as the triplets.

Julianna seemed displeased. "But I heard Timothy say he shoved my dear Star into the pond."

Abel's face turned pale for a split second.

"You can't blame Timothy, madam. Also, Abel was the one who saved Star," Emmeline said.

"Hmph! I'm sure someone is envious that I have three grandsons!"
