Ambush of the Quadruplets
Chapter 392

"Umm, the last dosage today..." Julianna's eyes wandered. "It fell to the floor. It's not usable anymore."

"Oh, I see." Emmeline nodded. "Sure. I'll make you one more and have it delivered."

Emmeline was clearly unhappy after the call ended.

"Emma," Abel started. "Luca mentioned you prepared medication for Aunt Juliana. I was wondering about that. You could do that?"

"It's a medicinal recipe passed down in the Louise family."

She explained. "The Louise lineage can be traced back to a royal physician. We have quite a few of those recipes hidden away."

"I see," Abel said. "And here I was thinking you were the Wonder Doctor."

"Wonder Doctor?" She smiled. "I've heard you guys mention this doctor before."

"Grandad had also tried to get me to propose to the Wonder Doctor at one point."

"What happened after that?" She asked playfully.

"You have to ask?" He pinched her cheek. "Because you were the one I wanted!"

She giggled. "Do you regret it?"

"Why would I?" He picked her up. "It's not like the Wonder Doctor gave birth to four of my kids."

"What if I am the Wonder Doctor herself?"

"I'd be the luckiest guy on earth then." He shook his head. "I'm not out to win a lottery. What's important is that you're mine now. I'm content with having you by my side." She happily nestled herself into his arms.

She felt cocooned by the security he offered.

"When are you heading out to deliver the medicine?" He was cradling her as if she were a child. "I'll come with you."

"Jealous much?" She pouted. "Afraid I'm going to speak with Adrien?"

"A little." He kissed her cheek. "You almost got engaged to him. Just thinking about it scares me."

"But nothing is going on between us." She pinched his face. "You're such a pain!"

"I know there's nothing going on between the two of you." He tightened his grip around her. "I'm worried about him not keeping his hands to himself. He's obsessed with you." She stopped talking. Abel was right.

Adrien was very obsessed with her.

"I left the medication at the cafe." She wrapped her arms around his neck."You should come with me to get it."

"Sure." He kissed her and set her back on the ground.

Two hours later, the couple reached the hospital.

Adrien had left, leaving only Julianna behind in the ward.

Julianna was envious at first as she watched them walk in until her eyes were rimmed red.

"Oh, Abel. Your mother is lucky to have a son like you."

"Aunt Julianna..." Abel comforted her. "You're doing well for yourself too. Adrien comes to see you every day."

"Adrien is a good boy," she said. "The problem is Adam. He came here in such a rush. Here I thought he was here to see me but he just took my medication and left." Her words gave Emmeline pause.

"Adam took your medication? Which one?"

Abel immediately caught on to how odd the situation was and waited for Julianna to answer.

It was only then that she realized she had slipped. She didn't know what to say for a time.

"He took the medication I gave you?" Emmeline asked.

"..." Julianna nodded. "Yes, but it's probably nothing. There's nothing much in there after all."

"But why?" Abel was confused. "Why would he just take your medication like that?"

"He..." Julianna didn't know how to derail the conversation. "He said it worked well and wanted to look more into it."

"Aunt Juliana." He frowned. "Adam isn't someone who would take an interest in something like this, right?"

"What is he up to?" Emmeline's heart sank.

Does Adam suspect me of being part of the Adelmar Clan? What's his problem with them?
