Chapter 626


    Evelyn held Adam’s hand. “But if Emmeline really is an Adelmar n member, will you still take her


    side?”


    “Of course,” said Adam. “I don’t have any grudge against them, so I’ll still take her side.”


    “So why are you investigating?”


    “Because…” Because my grandfather has beef with them. He couldn’t say that in front of everyone


    though, and he didn’t want his grandfather to attack Emmeline.


    Mr. Ywain knew the reason, but since Adam was saying nothing, he kept quiet as well.


    Evelyn huped. “I’m going to be your wife soon, and still you’re taking her side?”


    “You should figure out how to get her to save you,” said Adam. “Even if I am marrying you, I won’t


    ept you when you’re in this state.”


    “I…” Evelyn cried. “I won’t bow to someone like her.”


    “Then you’ll live your life out in a wheelchair.” na sneered. “Is that a life you want?”


    Evelyn was silent for a while, then she said, “I’ll do it for a while. Then I’ll scour the best hospitals in this


    city. There’s no way they can’t cure me. Not when this is just primitive shamanism.”


    “You are stubborn,” said Mr. Ywain. “If this is an Adelmar tactic, not even the best medicine in the world


    can cure you. Why aren’t you bowing your head?”


    “I just don’t want her to give me that smug grin of hers,” said Evelyn angrily. “I’m putting my faith in


    doctors.”


    “Fine, suit yourself,” snapped Adam. “We should go now.”


    Mr. Ywain said, “Mr. Ryker, I have something to say. If she is not cured in five days, then she’ll be


    paralyzed forever.”


    “I see.” Adam nodded. “She’s the one calling the shots here, not me.”


    “Hear that?” na pinched Evelyn. “Don’t bet your whole life on this.”


    “I have money. I can hire the best doctors in this city. They can cure me.” Evelyn still didn’t think that


    only Emmeline could help her.


    “Fine, suit yourself.” na sneered. “Not like this is my business anyway.”


    They left the avenue and went back to Avn. Adam told the butler to get a wheelchair for Evelyn. The


    next day, he told na to take Evelyn to a hospital for a checkup, but the doctor said they couldn’t cure


    her.


    na pushed a dejected Evelyn out of the elevator, getting ready to leave. It was then a beautiful


    woman passed by them.


    That woman was none other than Janie. Shocked, Evelyn covered her face. Through the corner of her


    eye, she noticed Janie leaving the OBGYN department, and she seemed to be crying. What’s she


    doing in the OBGYN?

    Janie went into the elevator, and Evelyn whispered, “Take me to the OBGYN department.”


    “What? Why?” na asked.


    “I have my reasons.”


    na obliged and took her to the OBGYN department.


    Evelyn asked the doctor behind the desk, “Doctor, may I know why thatdy came here?”


    The doctor looked at her. “Sorry. Confidential information.”


    “But she’s my friend,” said Evelyn. “I’m worried about her.”


    “I see. She’s not in a good mood. You might want to cheer her up.”


    “What happened?”


    “She’s pregnant. Wanted to abort, but she hesitated.”


    Evelyn was shocked. “P-Pregnant?”


    “Yes.” The doctor nodded.


    “I see. Thank you.” Evelyn told na to take her away.


    “You are nosy.” na sneered. “Had to snoop around, huh?”


    “This is different,” said Evelyn. “That woman is Emmeline’s friend. I can gain the upper hand if I know


    more about that woman.”
