As soon as Emmeline put away her phone, Abel received a call from Benjamin.

"The Wonder Doctor has accepted your invitation, but she can't guarantee she'll be able to do anything about the blood disorder."

"As long as she's willing to try," Abel said. "I won't give up any hope. You can name your price!"

"Don't worry about the consultation fee."

"No. I'll give up my entire fortune if it means the boy can be saved!"

Benjamin was moved. "Alright, Mr. Ryker. I'll make arrangements."

When Emmeline saw Abel put his phone away, she discreetly pinched a certain spot on her body.

She covered her forehead and said weakly, "Abel, I'm feeling dizzy."

"What happened, Emma?" Abel was worried.

"I..." Emmeline's eyes glazed over and passed out in Abel's arms.

Daisy said hastily, "She must be exhausted. Take her to the doctor."

"We're in the pediatric department," Luca reminded him.

Abel carried Emmeline in his arms and rushed to the outpatient department.

About fifteen minutes later, Emmeline woke up in the outpatient department's observation room.

"I'm fine now. You should go and check on Star," she said to Abel.

"Uncle Landen and Aunt Julianna are there. I'm more worried about you," Abel said while fondling Emmeline's fingers.

"I'm worried about Star!" Tears started to stream down Emmeline's face. "Why must Star suffer? It's not enough that he has a blood disorder, he also has an unreliable father!"

"Don't worry. I'm here for you," Abel comforted her while wiping her tears. "The Wonder Doctor will be here soon. Maybe she has a way to save Star."

"You should wait for her at the pediatric department then." Emmeline gently shoved him away. "I'll go over there once I feel better."

"I'll be here to take care of Ms. Louise," Daisy said. "You should go to the child."

"Okay then." Abel's fingers stroked Emmeline's cheek. "Rest well, and leave Star to me!"

"Mm." Emmeline pressed her lips together and nodded. Tears flooded her eyes once more.

After Abel left, Emmeline removed the intravenous drip, went out of the back window, and met with Benjamin at the parking lot.

"I say, Ms. Louise, don't you replace this tiring? You might as well reveal your face," Benjamin said with a frown.

"You must be joking! If everyone knows who I am, it'll be even more tiring! I wouldn't have time to research my medicine!"

"That's right. Without revealing your identity, at least you can focus when you need to."

"Also, the Wonder Doctor is only a title," Emmeline added. "Who knows if Master Robert might have to take the helm one day? If I reveal my face, Master Robert won't be able to show himself in public."

"Is that why Master Robert made it so?"

"Mm." Emmeline nodded. "The Wonder Doctor will not perish."

"Enough talk. Quickly put on your protective suit," Benjamin said while handing her the protective suit. "It's almost the appointed time with Mr. Ryker."

After the two people made their preparations, they went to the pediatric ward.

Landen and Julianna were standing at the door. Abel was standing next to the bed comforting Hesperus. Helios and Endymion were there too.

"The doctor will be here soon. You'll be okay, Star. I'll wait for you to get better," Abel said as he touched Hesperus' forehead. "You're a brave boy, and nothing is too challenging for you."

"Yes, Star," Helios said. "Moon and I are waiting for you to get better."

"We're all Mommy's favorite children," Endymion said. "You'll have to get better. Nothing can drive us apart!"

"But Daddy, is Mommy feeling better?" Hesperus pouted and took Abel's hand. "Mommy must've overworked herself taking care of me."

"Mommy is resting now," Abel said and kissed his hand. "Once she's feeling better, she'll be back by your side."

Tears flooded Hesperus' eyes. "Thank you for always cheering me up, Daddy. You should have been my real Daddy."

Abel felt a lump in his throat, and words failed him at that moment. He stretched his arms and brought the three boys close to him.
