Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 73

Emmeline ran to the pond and was about to dive in when she heard a loud splash.

Someone managed to jump into the pond before she did. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

She did not hesitate and jumped in as well.

It did not matter whether the boy who fell in was one of the triplets or Timothy. She loved everyone

equally, and she did not want anything to happen to them.

More importantly, she did not see Hesperus, the weakest child, next to the pond!

The pond was not very deep, but it was slightly deeper than an adult’s height.

Emmeline was about to submerge when she saw Abel surface with Hesperus in his arms.

“I have the boy!” Abel said after spitting out a mouthful of dirty water.

Emmeline swam toward him and helped him support Hesperus.

The little boy was unconscious. His body was limp.

“Star!” Emmeline broke out in tears. “Please be safe!”

“Someone call the ambulance!” Abel shouted at the people at the edge of the pond.

Adrien came to his senses and quickly dialed emergency services on his phone.

Abel placed Hesperus at the edge of the pond and began to administer CPR.

Emmeline took her son’s hand and pinched a certain point.

“Urgh!” Hesperus spat out some dirty water and began to breathe weakly.

Emmeline was slightly more at ease.

“Star!” She hugged the boy tightly. “You gave me such a fright! I’m so glad that you’re fine. What would

I do if I lost you?”

Abel patted her shoulder. “Star is safe now. Don’t cry.”

Emmeline cried even harder. She turned around and hugged Abel. “Thank you for saving Star! I can’t

imagine what might happen if you didn’t!”

“Everything’s fine now. Don’t cry.” Abel hugged her with one arm and comforted her.

“Ahem!” Adrien coughed behind Abel. “Can you keep some distance between you two?”

“What did you say?” Emmeline glared at Adrien. “Abel saved your son, and that’s all you have to say?

As Star’s father, what did you do to help him?”

“I…” Adrien did not know what he was thinking. In any case, he never had the intention to dive into the

pond.

“Thanks, Abel,” he muttered.

“Don’t mention it. I was only acting on instinct,” Abel said.

Adrien scratched the back of his head and wondered why he did not have that instinct.

After settling down and putting Hesperus on a bed at the hospital, Julianna came to look at the boy.

“Oh, my dear grandson, you gave me such a fright! I was so afraid that I might lose one of you. I’m so

glad that you’re okay,” she said while wiping tears.

“How did Star fall into the pond?” Landen asked. “There aren’t any security cameras in the garden, and

we can’t investigate what happened.”

“The boys were jostling each other. It’s only an accident,” Emmeline said.

She heard Timothy say he did not mean to do it, and she guessed that Timothy must have shoved

Hesperus into the pond.

She did not blame Timothy for it. Even though the boy was Alana’s child, she loved her as much as the

triplets.

Julianna seemed displeased. “But I heard Timothy say he shoved my dear Star into the pond.”

Abel’s face turned pale for a split second.

“You can’t blame Timothy, madam. Also, Abel was the one who saved Star,” Emmeline said.

“Hmph! I’m sure someone is envious that I have three grandsons!”
