    Chapter 283


    When Abel saw that Adrien was calling him, he answered the call right away.


    “Adrien!”


    “Abel, don’te to the hospital. The police are everywhere and they are investigating it,” said Adrien


    weakly.


    “How are you, Adrien?”


    “I’m fine. I just told the police that I was a guest there. But you’re different. You can’t show your face


    here.”


    “Yes, I know. Thanks, Adrien.”


    Abel was nning to head to the


    hospital to extract the bullet from his shoulder. It seemed like that was no longer an option. After the


    call with Abel, Adrien then called Adam.


    “Adrien? Where are you? What’s going on?”


    “Beat me to it, Adam. There was a gunfight. The police are arresting the suspects. Are you safe?”


    “The gunfight had nothing to do with me. It was the Pce Lord’s doing. And I’m awful citizen,” lied


    Adam.


    “Good. You should stay away from the Pce Lord. In case you are thrown under the bus,” warned


    Adrien.


    “Don’t worry. I don’t deal with him. Besides, I only went to him to ask for a small favor. I do not n to


    work with him in the future.”


    “Good, good. I have to hang up now. The doctor will put me under to take the bullet out,” Adrien stated.


    “You were shot, Adrien?” Adam was surprised to hear that.


    “Yeah, on my right chest.


    Fortunately, my vitals are unaffected.”


    “What the… Who shot you? I’m going to kill whoever shot you.”


    “Bullets have no eyes, Adam. Emma is safe, at least,”


    “Yeah, but Abel saved her. Not you,” Adam grumbled.


    “It’s fine. I just want her to be safe. Besides, you got what you wanted, didn’t you? Abel and Benjamin


    both lost hundreds of million dors,” said Adrien.


    Adrien was right. Even though Adam lost Emmeline, Abel was about to lose his position as the CEO as


    well.


    Back in The Precipice.


    Abel’s brain was busying up with a way to extract the bullet


    from his shoulder. Due to the drug, Emmeline could only lie against Abel’s arm limply.


    “How is Adrien doing?” asked Emmeline in a sultry voice. The vulnerability in her made her look extra


    seductive. For a moment, Abel lost his voice.


    “I’m asking you a question, Abel.”


    Abel’s fingers brushed against Emmeline’s cheek. “Do you care about him that much?”


    “I just don’t want anyone to get hurt,” answered Emmeline.


    “I’m injured too. But you didn’t even bother to ask me if I’m doing


    okay. You brought up Adrien. You…” protested Abel./


    “So what do you want, Abel?”

    “Do you know what I was thinking and we were running for our lives back then?” Abel leaned down and


    nibbled on Emmeline’s earlobe.


    “How am I supposed to know?” Emmeline dodged away. “I can’t read your mind.”


    “I told myself that I won’t allow you to leave my side again,” spoke Abel softly.


    Emmeline felt conflicted. For theplicated past she had with Abel, could she ever live a happy life


    with Abel?
