Wonder Doctor had got into the ICU in the time it took to stop her.

He muttered to himself in a low voice.

An hour flew by.

Emmeline stopped but did not turn around. "Who do I owe the pleasure, Mr. Abel?"

"I don't have time," she coolly rejected him.

Benjamin chuckled. "Please excuse us, Mr. Abel."
