Abel was at a loss for a reply. He honestly did not consider that.
Judging from his current situation, it would not take him two more triggers before the cracks spread to his face.
"This can't go on, Abel," Benjamin said. "I think you should come clean to Emma."
"Do you want her to worry?" Abel said. "If there's no known antidote, how do you think Emma would react when she heard the news?"
Benjamin thought for a while and remained silent.
Abel was right. Instead of letting Emmeline worry, it was better to keep the truth from her.
Meanwhile, back in The Precipice, Emmeline sat on the sofa and stared blankly at the screen.
Abel is acting very strangely. He must be hiding something from me.
Also, he's deliberately keeping his distance from me! What's going on with him?
No, I have to look for him at Ryker Group!
Emmeline stood up from the sofa.
"Ms. Louise, are you going upstairs?" Kendra asked.
"Mm. I'm going upstairs to change, then I'm going to look for Abel at Ryker Group," Emmeline said.

No, she can't! Mr. Ryker said he didn't go to Ryker Group!
"It's very late, Ms. Louise, and you can't see that well yet. You shouldn't leave the house," Kendra said.
"But I'm worried about Abel." Tears started to well up in Emmeline's eyes. "I think he's hiding something from me."
"That can't be!" Kendra said with a smile. "He is absolutely loyal to you, and he won't have anything to hide. You must be overthinking it."
"I have to find Abel no matter what. He can explain it to my face if he's not hiding anything!"
Emmeline turned around and went up the stairs.
Kendra was anxious. How could she stop Emmeline from going out?
She thought for a while and ran up the stairs after Emmeline.
Emmeline went into her room, opened the closet, and took out a change of clothes.
"Well, I won't stop you if you want to go, Ms. Louise. I suppose that's for the best," Kendra said.
"Yes. I don't want any misunderstandings between us. I feel like I should clear the air with him," Emmeline said.
"That's true. I'll go and get the driver," Kendra said after helping Emmeline change.
The two women exited the bedroom.
Kendra walked in front, and she went down the stairs hastily. She missed the last step and fell on the floor.

"Argh! My foot!"
Emmeline was shocked. She quickly went down the stairs and helped Kendra up. "Are you okay?"
"My ankle hurts. I think I sprained it," Kendra said.
"Let me see." Emmeline held her foot and examined it.
Kendra's ankle was swollen. An unsightly bruise was forming.
"Oh no, it looks bad. I shouldn't have rushed you," Emmeline said.
"I don't blame you. I shouldn't have been so careless," Kendra said.
"I'll help you up first, then I'll help set it," Emmeline said.

"I'll set your ankle first. I don't think I'll miss Abel if I go there a little later," Emmeline said.
Kendra nodded. "Alright then, thanks."
Emmeline helped Kendra up and brought her to the sofa.
She took Kendra's injured ankle and set it to its original position with a loud crack.
The pain caused Kendra to grimace and yelp.
"Sit here and don't move," Emmeline said. "I'll get an ice pack for you."
"Thank you, Ms. Louise."
"Don't mention it. You were injured because of me," Emmeline said.
That's all because I want to keep you in the house. Can't you appreciate my sacrifice? Kendra thought.
Emmeline brought an ice pack from the kitchen and placed it on Kendra's ankle.
Half an hour later, she went upstairs to get some needles and inserted them in specific spots.
"You'll be fine now," Emmeline said. "Go and get some rest. Your ankle will be as good as new by tomorrow morning."
"You're amazing, Ms. Louise," Kendra said.
"It's nothing. Let me help you to your room. After that, I'll go to Ryker Group," Emmeline said.
