Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 1456 Stormy Weather

At 7 pm, the Buick arrived in Horvett. If the next day’s itinerary went smoothly, they would reach

Shander in the morning and Luminara in the evening. The cargo ship would pass through the port in

Naver and enter Luminara around 9 p.m.

They stayed overnight at the service area in Horvett and resumed driving at 5 p.m. Emmeline noticed.

blood seeping through Abel’s T–shirt onto his chest, and his complexion also turned slightly yellow. Her

heart tightened, but words were unnecessary. With the Buick speeding through the entire journey, she

could only remain silent. Knowing that Shander was ahead, she asked him to exit the highway and find

a hospital or clinic in the city to dress his wound, but he refused.

Around 6 p.m., the car finally arrived in Luminara, although there was still over an hour’s drive to the

port. The typhoon had made landfall in Porgia yesterday afternoon and was approaching at a

destructive speed. The car struggled to move forward in the stormy weather and eventually entered the

chaotic parking lot of the port at Luminara at 8:40 p.m., ravaged by the typhoon.

The cargo ship “Aqualune, which was supposed to arrive at nine o’clock at night, was unable to enter

the port, meaning they had arrived before the goods did in any case. Abel sent Emmeline to the port

hotel and went to the cargo handling office in the rain to complete the transfer procedures. She insisted

on going with him, but he rebuked her,

The lights on the pier flickered in the storm, and broken remains of buildings occasionally blew past

amidst the torrential rain, creating an apocalyptic scene. Emmeline stood at the closed window,

clasping her hands together, praying to God for Abel’s safe return. However, after an hour had passed,

Abel still hadn’t come back. Her heart was in her throat, unable to see anything outside the window.

The distant lights were indistinct in the pouring rain. Her whole world was filled with the sound of wind

and rain!

Another thirty minutes passed, and she felt her heart racing uncontrollably. Unable to bear it any longer,

she ran downstairs in a frenzy. Just as she ran out of the automatic door, darkness enveloped her as

the hotel lost power, although there were still a few scattered lights in the distance.

Where was Abel?

Emmeline only vaguely remembered the direction he went, but she didn’t consider anything else. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Extreme worry and anxiety could consume someone’s heart. Life and death were just moments away

in the stormy weather, and she had to find Abel!

As she rushed out of the hotel corridor, her whole body was immediately drenched by the heavy rain,

making even breathing difficult. She struggled to adapt to the conditions but managed to persevere.

She ran in the direction Abel had gone but couldn’t run far because every step was difficult in the wind

and rain. Emmeline was knocked down by the storm several times, but fortunately, she eventually

caught sight of him. His figure faded in and out in the pouring rain.

“Abell” Emmeline called out, but her voice was immediately swallowed by the storm, unheard.

She gradually got closer to Abel in the storm, stumbling and falling. He saw her when they were about

a hundred meters apart. He paused for a moment, seemingly stunned, then quickened his pace. It took

them a full five minutes to traverse the distance and finally come together.

No words were spoken since the storm had silenced them. The two of them just held each other tightly

as the world trembled. He found her cold lips and kissed her passionately. Their bodies were warm

despite the desolate rain and gloomy surroundings. Supporting each other, they returned to the hotel,

where the room was pitch black.

The receptionist had brought candles, and there was still some warm water left in the solar–powered

water heater. Reluctantly, they both washed up and changed out of their wet clothes.

“Have you completed the return procedures?” Emmeline asked. Without a hairdryer, her long hair felt

uncomfortable when wet. Taking a towel, he dried it over and over again, feeling as if this little person in

front of him was his whole life as he stood behind her.

The typhoon was still raging outside the window, and the hotel’s electricity was not expected to be

restored tonight. There was only the sound of the howling wind and rain in the darkness. It seemed that

nature was asserting itself as the ruler with its unstoppable power.

Abel was exhausted after more than thirty hours of long–distance driving, and the pain from the wound

on his shoulder was difficult for him to bear. He fell into a deep sleep. The candle had burned out,

leaving the room in complete darkness. Emmeline curled up next to him and fell into a deep sleep as

well.

“Emma…” Emmeline heard Abel softly calling her at some point. “Don’t leave me!”

She opened her eyes in the darkness as Abel murmured in his sleep again. It was then that she

realized. Abel’s body was unusually hot, and his breathing was rapid. She quickly placed her hand on

his chest and immediately realized something–Abel had a high fever!
