Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 5

As soon as they arrived at the hospital’s entrance, Abel stepped out of the car, and the chauffeur took

off toward the basement parking lot. With Helios fast asleep in his arms, Abel resisted the temptation to

nibble his lovely plump cheeks. Although Abel had a son of similar age, it was his mother, Rosaline,

who had been raising him. Having only seen images of his son, Abel wondered if his kid would be as

adorable as the one in his arms.

After receiving word that her son was on his way, Rosaline waited patiently in the foyer for him to

arrive. Her eyes lit up when she saw him. “Abel, my dear boy!”

“Hey, mom,” Abel greeted back. As he was often away from home, he had little opportunity to speak

with his mother. Rosaline noticed the child in his arms and instinctively reached her hands out to carry

him.

“Good boy. I didn’t know you went home and brought Timothy along,” she said.

“No,” Abel explained while passing Helios to his mother, “This is Helios. I haven’t met Timothy yet.”

“Helios?” Rosaline frowned. With Hesperus upstairs, she was taken aback by another unknown child!

They also looked very identical to each other, perhaps…

Rosaline’s heart trembled as she asked, “Whose child is it?”

“He said his mother is Emmeline Louise.”

Emmeline again? Rosaline frowned upon hearing Emmeline’s name. At this point, that wretched

woman had built a reputation for herself in Struyria! Despite being frustrated, Rosaline could not deny

the adorable and chubby little boy in her arms. It would have been wonderful if Helios and Hesperus

were her grandchildren too.

“So, is it true that Emmeline gave birth to your children?” Rosaline raised an eyebrow at her son.

“I only met one woman.” Abel said firmly, “Five years ago when I returned to fulfill my duty as a member

of the Ryker family.”

“But they look so similar to you.” Rosaline was about to suggest Abel to take a paternity test but ended

up believing her son’s claim that Alana was the only woman he had slept with. Unfortunately, Abel

despised Alana for her malicious scheme. Despite Alana giving birth to Timothy, he refused to

acknowledge her as his wife and put off getting married.

They went to the highest floor and visited Oscar. From the looks of it, his condition had not improved.

After a while, Abel walked out of his room with a somber face.

“Don’t worry,” Rosaline reassured Abel with Helios in her arms, “Your father had asked for the Wonder

Doctor and the doctor agreed to treat your grandfather tomorrow.”

“Alright then.” Abel massaged his forehead as he responded, “I’ve heard the doctor’s superb medical

skills. At least there’s hope for grandpa.”

“Let’s head back to the mountain villa to rest. You must be tired from taking such a long flight.”

“Yeah!”

Suddenly, Hesperus emerged from the resting area opposite of them. “You must be daddy, seeing how

handsome and stylish you are.”

“Timothy?” Abel frowned. “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be in school?”

“This isn’t Timothy!” Rosaline exclaimed embarrassingly, “This is Star, Hesperus!”

“Hesperus? Whose son is this?” A chill went down Abel’s spine as he could already somewhat guess

the answer.

“It’s Emmeline’s.”

Abel felt his words were stuck at his throat. He brought back a Sun and now a Star had been waiting

for him. What’s with that damn Emmeline? He could feel his head spinning, but he could not say no to

the adorable boy staring at him with wide, hopeful eyes.

“I’m not your daddy, but I can’t abandon you here until your mom picks you up. Follow me.”

“Thanks, daddy!” Hesperus beckoned to Abel to pick him up with open arms.

“Sun is sleeping.” Hesperus pointed at Helios and giggled. “Teehee, he’s even drooling!”

Rosaline was overjoyed after seeing Hesperus and Helios. Oh, how she wished they could have been

her grandchildren instead!

They then made their way to the elevator and waited for it to arrive. Ding dong! Both Abel and Rosaline

nearly passed out when they saw another kid in the elevator as the door opened! Abel felt like he had

poked a hornet’s nest as he was surrounded by these adorable kids.

“And you are…” Abel took a deep breath to calm his nerves as he crouched down while speaking to the

kid.

“Daddy!” The child chirpily responded, “I’m your son, Endymion…”

“You’re the moon then?”

“Yeah!” Endymion’s obsidian black eyes glimmered. “The sun, the moon and the star have gathered!

We’re all your sons.”

“Luca,” Abel mumbled to his assistant as he stumbled backwards. “Lend me a hand.”

Although Alana was not allowed into the Ryker family’s residence according to her will, she quickly

learned that Abel brought three children back home. It was then she realized that Sun, Moon and Star

were also Emmeline’s children!

What the? How did Emmeline manage to give birth to four kids?!

Alana ran back to the Louise residence and got straight to the point with Alondra after seeing that

Maxwell was not there.

“Auntie, how could you be so clumsy back then? I mean, why didn’t you take all four of her children?”

“You want all of her children?” Alondra was in the midst of applying a silk face mask as she spoke.

“Your aim was to have a child of the Ryker family’s bloodline. You and Abel can always try for another Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

baby. If I gave you all four of them, how are you able to justify getting another one?”

“I guess so…” Alana mumbled before pinching her leg in frustration. “I can’t believe Abel entered the

wrong room five years ago after returning home! I clearly drugged him and was waiting for him in the

next room!”

“We also shouldn’t have kicked Emmeline out of the house on that day. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have

been a misunderstanding!”

“What do I do now? Those three rascals are getting in my way!”

“What are you panicking about?” Alondra responded, “Didn’t you bribe the supervisor from the Biology

Department of Ryker’s Hospital? If the Ryker family wants to get a paternity test, the results should

come from that lab right?”

Instantly, Alana’s face flushed red and lowered her head as she mumbled, “I’ll call him later then.”

“Huh?” Alondra tilted her head to look at Alana. “Your face is getting red, Alana. What’s wrong with

calling Dr. Reid?”

“It’s not that simple!” Alana started squirming uncomfortably. “It’s risky to try and fool the Rykers.

Besides, Dr. Reid agreed to work with me in the first place because… because…”

“You slept with him?” Alondra gasped.
