Ambush of the Quadruplets
Chapter 1059 Heroes Are Humans Too

"Adrien's leg got injured," Emmeline responded. "He was taken away by an ambulance."

"Which hospital's ambulance?" Abel asked.

"I didn't ask," Emmeline replied. "The ambulance was far away, I only saw medical personnel."

Abel dialed Adam's number.

After asking, it was said that Ryker Hospital was dealing with it in the surgery department, and no bones were injured.

"Adam," Abel said to Adam on the phone, "no matter what happens today, thank you."

Adam paused for a moment and understood Abel's meaning.

He hesitated and said, "Abel, I really wanted to save Emma, but I didn't expect another woman inside the car. And..."

He lowered his voice and continued, "If I had known it wasn't Emma inside the car, I wouldn't have risked my life to save her. You know Adam, he's not brave at all! Adam is terrified of death!"

Abel chuckled and replied, "You can tell me this, but don't let those internet trolls hear it. Otherwise, the heroic image you've just established will be destroyed immediately."

"That I knew," Adam said. "It was a case of forced circumstances, so now I have to consider myself a hero."

Abel chuckled, "When you're not busy one day, I'll treat you to a meal, celebrating Adam's honor on the Struyria Hero List!"

"Deal!" Adam jumped to his feet, "Let's invite Emma too."

Abel: "..."

"Abel, don't misunderstand," Adam quickly explained. "I wasn't interested in Emma, I just thought it would be fun for everyone to be together."

"Alright then," Abel said, "I'm on my way to the hospital. Let's talk when we meet."

"Alright then," Abel said, "I'm on my way to the hospital. Let's talk when we meet."

Abel ended the call, and the driver on this side had already turned around, heading towards Ryker Hospital.

Sure enough, Adrien was in the operating room treating his injuries.

Fortunately, the injuries weren't too severe. The fragments from the vehicle explosion penetrated the muscles, but there were no broken bones or damaged tendons.

After removing the fragments, the wound was stitched up, and there were no major issues.

After half an hour, Adrien was wheeled out of the operating room.

Originally, there was no need for hospitalization, but Adrien disagreed, fearing the injury to his leg could be life-threatening.

The doctor had no choice but to agree to arrange a hospital room for Adrien for observation and inpatient care.

"I want a VIP room," Adrien said. "I won't settle for a regular ward."

"Mr. Adrien, you don't really have any major issues," the doctor said. "You just need some days of hospitalization and intravenous therapy."

"That's not acceptable. What if the wound gets infected and my life is in danger?" Adrien insisted, "This hospital is mine, and I have the final say. I want to stay in a VIP room."

The doctor dared not defy Adrien's request to transfer him to the VIP ward.

Coming out of the operating room, Lizbeth rushed up to Adrien, grabbing his hand and asking in tears.

Coming out of the operating room, Lizbeth rushed up to Adrien, grabbing his hand and asking in tears.

"Adrien, are you okay? Are you still in pain?"

"I'm in pain," Adrien rubbed Lizbeth's small hand and said with grief, "Liz, Adrien thought he would never see you again."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lizbeth wiped her tears away. "You just injured your leg, far from your heart."

"That won't do either," Adrien sniffled. "Anyway, I got injured, my leg is crippled. You have to love me, care for me, take care of me, and never abandon me."

Upon hearing these words, the two nurses in the room couldn't help but laugh.

Lizbeth's face also turned red for Adrien as she said, "I know, I love you, care for you, take care of you, and will never leave you. Is that okay?"

Adrien nodded repeatedly, "That's about right."

"But, Adrien," Lizbeth said, "your behavior was a little off, wasn't it?"

"What do you mean by 'off'?" Adrien asked, furrowing his brow while still holding Lizbeth's hand in his palm.

"Just now, you risked your life to save others, a true hero. So why are you acting so timid now?"

"It's different now compared to then," Adrien said. "Back then, I was saving you and Emma's lives. Both Adam and I were willing to sacrifice ourselves. But at this moment, Adrien is suffering too. Heroes are made of flesh, aren't they?"
