The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2292

The next day, Wayne met with Ableson.

In the past few months, Ableson had managed to recuperate somewhat, but due to the severity of his injuries, his physical capabilities were unlikely to ever return to their former glory.

By all accounts, he no longer met the criteria for his job at Moonlit Lake.

But Rosalynn had decided to keep him on.

Upon seeing Wayne, Ableson's eyes brimmed with tears. Nobody had mentioned Wayne's situation to him, but Ableson was one of the first to notice Wayne's unusual behavior.

Plus, on that fateful day, when Wayne had stabbed him, everything from his expression to the aura he exuded was completely out of character. So Ableson knew that the man who tried to kill him wasn't, strictly speaking, his own boss.d2

"Mr. Silverman, I should have been more cautious," Ableson admitted upon seeing Wayne, his voice heavy with guilt. "I should have spoken to Mrs. Silverman the moment I sensed something was amiss with you."

"You almost died by my hand, and you're still finding reasons to blame yourself?" Wayne replied, a touch of exasperation in his voice. "Ableson, I'm just glad you are okay."

Ableson's eyes reddened further.

"Don't worry about the future. I'm going to keep you by my side," Wayne assured him.

Ableson was taken aback. He could sense something different about Wayne, but it wasn't the same kind of change he'd exhibited during his bout of amnesia. Mr. Silverman's gaze now held a warmth it had lacked before.

Previously, Mr. Silverman wouldn't have kept someone who wasn't completely useful to him by his side. He would've given them a hefty sum, more money than they could earn in a lifetime, and sent them on their way.

"Mr. Silverman, I won't let you down!" Ableson said immediately, his dedication clear.

That would have been enough for Ableson, who had no family to speak of. Without Wayne, without this job, he had nowhere to go.

Living alone with a lump sum was far less appealing to Ableson than facing life and death with the other guards to protect the Silvermans.
