"You don't say?" Waylon retorted.
Abel was silent for a while. Eventually, he said, "Thank you, Waylon."
Waylon was about to hang up, but he added, "Abel, how's the condition of your skin?"
"Pretty bad," Abel said with a frown. "Whenever I take an ice water bath, the skin on my abdomen and thigh will crack. If this goes on, I'm sure my entire body will crack."
"How troublesome," Waylon said with a sigh. "I've already made you some ointment. I'll give it to you tomorrow so you can find some relief for your cracked skin."
"Mm."
"That's only a temporary fix though," Waylon said. "I should bring Emma back with me tomorrow. That should make things easier for you."
"You can't," Abel said. "If Emma is with me, I only have to fight against Deathly Desire. If she's not here, I don't even feel like breathing. You can't take her away."
"What's gotten into your brain? I don't understand love at all!" Waylon said and hung up.
Abel glared at his phone as though he were glaring at Waylon.
You'd better not fall in love then!

The next morning, Waylon came to The Precipice. Benjamin came along too.
Abel had cut some fresh willow tree branches from the backyard.
"They all face south, right?" Waylon asked.
"Yes," Abel replied.
"That works. We can't afford to be careless," Waylon said.
He picked some tender branches and gave them to Kendra, who would boil them.
Emmeline sat on the couch. She could hear everyone busy around her.
Waylon sat down next to her and checked under her eyelids.
"How is it, Waylon?" Emmeline asked. "Will I get to see again after my eyes are cleaned?"
"I think so, yes," Waylon said. "By next week, the cataracts should be totally gone."
"Why don't you clean them two days in a row then?" Emmeline asked. "That way, I'll get to see even quicker."
"You'll go blind!" Waylon said. "Your eyes will hurt when the liquid dissolves the cataracts. You need to give your eyes time to rest."
"That'll take so long," Emmeline said unhappily. "I won't get to do anything."
"What could be so important?" Waylon said.

"Nothing. I'm sure my lab has been neglected," Emmeline said.
"No, it hasn't," Waylon answered.

"To be exact, I moved it," Waylon said. "I didn't want it to go to waste, so I moved it to Macsen Villa."
"Why?" Emmeline raised her eyebrows in alarm. "Why did you need to claim my laboratory? I was doing fine at Nightfall Café!"
"Well…" Waylon shot a glance at Abel. "I was bored, so I thought I'd kill some time by conducting some research."
Emmeline did not say anything. She believed what Waylon said.
She knew Waylon did not like being idle. Whenever he was bored, he would either conduct research on new medicine or bicker with her.
She did not expect Waylon to stay at Macsen Villa instead of The Precipice, so he did not have a chance to bicker with her.
Why isn't Waylon staying over? Emmeline did not understand.
She considered that Abel might be jealous if Waylon stayed over.
"Why don't you come with me to Macsen Villa after you have your eyes cleaned today? I have to admit that I've been bored," Waylon ventured.
Before Emmeline could answer, Abel deliberately coughed out loud.
Emmeline chuckled. "Waylon, as you can see, someone doesn't want me to go," she said.
Waylon glared at Abel.
Suddenly, Benjamin's second phone rang.
