Chapter 1493 Hit And Run

Chapter 1493 Hit And Run “Yes.” Abel glanced at Emmeline, instinctively lowering his voice. “What’s going on?”
“Let’s talk somewhere else,” Benjamin urged. “Not within Emma’s earshot.”
Abel swiftly closed the ward door, passed the visitation area, and walked down the corridor. It wasn’t
until they reached the lounge that Abel broke the silence. “Benjamin, what’s the situation? Why all the
secrecy?”
“Who is Zahn to you?” Benjamin asked directly.
Zahn? Abel’s mind went blank. “What happened to him?”
“He was driving without a license, involved in a hit–and–run, causing severe injury.” Benjamin
explained.
novelbin“What?” Abel was momentarily breathless. That jerk….
“About half a mile from the scene, Emma’s Focus was found!” Benjamin revealed. The authorities.
recognized the car and alerted me. That’s why I’m here now.”
“How did this happen?” Abel asked, stunned. “I have the car keys to prevent Zahn from doing
something stupid!
“The keys were duplicated, not the originals.”
“Where’s Zahn?”
“He’s still missing, but the police have identified him.”
“What’s our next move?”“Zahn faces over three years‘ detention, and the car owner will be legally liable and prosecuted,
Benjamin informed.
Abel cursed inwardly.
“Abel, are you even listening?” Benjamin prodded.
“Yes,” Abel replied. “Zahn’s involvement in car theft isn’t my concern. Let’s follow the proper procedures
for the rest.
“But if it’s not classified as theft, Emma could be held fully responsible as the car was lent to an
unlicensed driver, Benjamin cautioned.
“We can’t alarm Emma,” Abel said firmly. “T’ll take full responsibility. Tell the other party not to press.
charges.”
“Zahn drove without a license and fled the scene, Benjamin stressed. “The insurance won’t
compensate. You can bold Zahn fully accountable!”
“That’s not possible, Abel sighed. “His parents will be furious.
“This is a real mess, Benjamin acknowledged.
“I’ll return today,” Abel decided. “Inform the authorities and change all of Emma’s contact numbers to
mine. Don’t ask her anything.
I’ve already done that, Benjamin assured. “Hurry back, and we’ll work out a solution.”
After ending the call, Abel slumped into a chair, lit a cigarette, and took a few deep pulls.
“What’s wrong?” Brandon asked, entering the room. “You look troubled.”Abel explained the situation to Brandon.
“What’s your plan?” Brandon asked, frowning,
“I’ll head back first,” Abel murmured. I’m counting on you to look after Emma.”
“Don’t worry about her, Brandon assured. “But what about the main issue?”
“Zahn deserves the consequences for his actions, Abel replied. “I don’t want to get too involved. Let his
parents handle his recklessness.”
“That sounds simple, but dealing with such a person might get messy.” Brandon warned. “Once his
family gets involved, it could become a headache for you,”
“As long as it doesn’t affect Emma, I’m not afraid of anything.” Abel asserted.
Abel’s phone rang again. It was a call from Landon.
“I’m aware, Abel said before Landon could speak. “I’ll return today.”
Landon asked, ‘Should I inform Mr. Steiner-”
“Don’t involve law enforcement,” Abel instructed. “Zahn needs to learn a lesson.”
“Understood,” Landon acknowledged.
Back in the hospital room, Emmeline sat by the bedside, reading a book on acupuncture.
Abel gently touched her face and informed her, “I received a call from Benjamin. Something is going on
at the company, and I have to go back.”
Emmeline wrote on his palm. It’s Benjamin, not Landon!He took out his phone and showed her. Luckily, he had earlier deleted Benjamin’s call history. She
looked displeased and pouted.
The next day, after an eleven–hour drive, Abel returned to Altney at eleven o’clock at night. Inside
Sylvan Mansion, he checked his phone, noticing over twenty missed calls, eleven of which were from
Adam.
Abel furrowed his brow, considering whether to return the calls when Landon arrived.
“Zahn’s parents are in town, staying at a hotel,” Landon informed.
Abel nodded and handed a cigarette to Landon, lighting one for himself.
“Let’s meet diem tomorrow. It’s late, and I’m exhausted,” Abel said. “Any news about Zahn?”
