"You didn't," Luca said with a grin. "You kicked me once, but it doesn't hurt."

"Phew," Abel closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. "I still remember how I nearly killed Adam."

Luca chuckled. "I'm luckier than he is. At least you didn't manage to grab and toss me."

He was very relieved to see that Abel managed to pull through.

Suddenly, Abel's phone rang.

Waylon went out of the bathroom to pick it up. He frowned when he saw the call was from Emmeline.

He was running out of excuses.

Waylon returned to the bathroom and handed the phone to Abel.

"It's from Emma. What are you going to tell her?"

Abel was silent for a while before he took the phone.

He inhaled deeply to suppress the pain and said composedly, "Hey, Emma."
