"Abel's toxicity has subsided," Waylon informed her, "It's just that he has severe bloodstains on his body and face. He's concerned about scaring you. He hasn't become a ghost, so don't give me that sulky face, as if I owe you something."

Emmeline could not help but laugh at his words, she pouted, "No I don't. I know you've researched the antidote for me without asking for anything in return. I'm grateful, you know."

"It's good that you know," Waylon rolled his eyes. "When I stayed at your house on the first day, you looked like I owe you something. I'm sorry, I'll move out tomorrow."

"It's not the first day." Emmeline raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "What about the second day? Are you going to extort another day from me?"

"How did you remember it so well?" Waylon raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you calculate my living expenses every day? It was crystal clear, right?" Emmeline burst into laughter, feeling delighted.

"It's a shame you figured it out, and yet you still have to pay me for living expenses! Did you pocket the money? Are you searching for hidden treasures?"

Seeing her smile, Waylon's expression also relaxed.

Waylon's handsome appearance naturally attracted a lot of attention from women.

When he was on Adelmar Island, it was his cold temperament and his aversion to strangers that kept him alone. Otherwise, he would have been swarmed by the aggressive bees and butterflies on the island.

"I won't argue with you," Emmeline said as she started to eat. "I don't care if I lose, but I'll make sure to eat well, and you should too, Waylon."

"That's good." Waylon served her food tenderly. "Eat up. I can't wait for Abel to recover and I don't want you to become thin from hunger. It makes me look like I haven't taken good care of you."

"How long will it take for the bloodstains on Abel's body to disappear?" Emmeline asked with a furrowed brow.

Today's incident indicated that someone had planned something against him.

Although Abel hesitated to reveal the identity of the culprit, it was believed that Adam was the one unable to evade suspicion.

After contemplating for a moment, Abel sent a message to Emmeline. "Emma, can I ask you a favor?"

Emmeline, who happened to be in the bedroom, swiftly replied upon seeing the message. "Are you being courteous to me?"

Abel replied, "I'm afraid you can't help me do so."

Emmeline texted back. "Just tell me."

Abel instructed, "Tomorrow, I need you to go to the Ryker Group and help me with some matters in town. I'll send you an authorization letter."

Emmeline stopped texting for a while when Abel responded, "Are you scared?"

Emmeline then replied, "I don't understand these things. You know that Benjamin manages Adelmar for me."

Abel reassured her, "You can do it, I'll help you."

After contemplating for a moment, Emmeline replied, "Well, I'll do my best."

A wide smile spread across Abel's face.

Emmeline sent him a hug emoji.

Although they did not exchange tender words, their hearts instantly drew closer, creating a warm and sweet connection.

At night, Emmeline sent another message to Abel, "Would you like to have supper?"

Abel responded, "No, just sleep."

Emmeline understood him, "Alright."

After getting ready for bed, she texted Abel, "Good night, Hubby."

Abel replied, "Good night, babe."

Emmeline hugged her blanket and sat on the bed, lost in thought.

After sitting for a while, drowsiness overcame her, and she snuggled up, drifting into a deep slumber as her eyes were teary. "Click," the door lock was unlocked, and Abel entered quietly...
