StarNovelChapter 732 A Matter of Life And Death
Kendra went to the market for fresh produce after Abel left. The bodyguard held Quincy after parking
the car when Kendra entered the market alone.
Someone grabbed Kendra’s wrist when she wanted to weigh the celery. She was startled but
immediately recognized the man even though he was wearing a mask.
“Henry? Are you following me?” Kendra shook Henry’s hand away.
“Yup, and I saw Quincy outside of the market,” said Henry in a low voice.
“Don’t even think about that!” Kendra was getting nervous.
“How dare I? I could never win a fight with Abel’s bodyguard,” said Henry.
“Why are you hear then?” Kendra was relieved.

“How can I tell Mr. Abel about that outrageous request?” said Kendra.

“That is not an outrageous request. Abel would pay me all his fortune if he knew about the secret. Yet,
I’m only asking for a position as the Head of the Surgical department,” said Henry.
“What exactly is the secret about? Why can’t you tell me? I’m sure Mr. Abel would reward you if the
secret is really useful,” said Kendra.
“No. The secret is a matter of life and death. I can’t tell anyone else except
Abel. If you
still don’t tell him after tomorrow, I will have to leave the country. That way, at least I would live,” said
Henry.
Kendra could sense the urgency of the matter. “I’ll try, but I can’t do anything if Mr. Abel is not
interested,” she said.
“I’ll tell Abel the secret right after we sign the contract for the Head of Surgical department position,”
said Henry.
Kendra promised to talk to Abel when he was back for lunch. Before she left, Henry pulled her arm.
“So, you cook and wait for him to come back every day?” asked Henry with a sinister smile.
“Of course. That’s my job as a live–in nanny,” said Kendra seriously.
“Live–in nanny? Do you sleep on his bed, too?” said Henry.
“Shut up! Mr. Abel is not someone like that, and so am I!” Kendra was furious
“Haha. So you are the good girl, and I’ve ruined you by marrying you!

Henry finally sneaked away into the crowd. He would not let his guard down even though the Imperial
Palace had stopped going after him.
Kendra went back to the car after the grocery shopping. Quincy was fast asleep under the bodyguard’s
care. The bodyguard drove them back to The Precipice.
Abel came back in the afternoon with a stern expression. He had been working with Benjamin and
Waylon at Nightfall Cafe the whole morning, listening to the investigation progress. However, there was
still no news on Emmeline.
Benjamin suggested having lunch at Nightfall/Cafe before they continued to work on the subsequent
plan, but Abel was suffering from a head–splitting headache. Waylon gave him some remedy to ease
his headache. “You should get some sleep,” said Waylon
