Not One, But Two!

Chapter 203

When Greg heard Benjamin's hurried words, his gaze turned vicious at the thought of people harming someone he considered the love of his life.

"I'm currently in the City Hospital, so I'll head there right away. No matter what, stop Abigail, and don't let her hurt her leg."

When Greg thought of her leg injury, he could barely reign in the burst of anxiety. At this moment, he was much too preoccupied to deal with Troy.

Troy felt slightly furious when he saw how Greg utterly disregarded him as he rushed out.

So it seems that it is true that love makes one blind. Greg is an absolute idiot for being at the beck and call of someone like Abigail. In that case, he can't blame me for what would happen after.

It was him who threw me away for a woman!

Troy thought bitterly. Then, he endured the pain as he relocated his dislocated limbs.

Presently, Abigail was so angry that her eyes turned red. She didn't care who the person before her was; she simply felt frustrated and upset that only a fight could make her feel better.

The people of the Leynthall Family were delighted when they saw Abigail. Thus, most switched their targets and focused their attacks on her. According to the order from the higher-ups, they weren't interested in capturing her alive, which resulted in fatal and ruthless attacks. However, they did not expect that Abigail was not a weak doctor like they thought she was. That was because they couldn't actually land a solid hit on her due to her combat prowess coupled with her ferocious attacks.

Naturally, Benjamin was shocked the moment he witnessed this scene when he returned to help after stashing Anastasia somewhere safe.

What's wrong with Abigail? Does she not care for her life at the rate she's going?!

Benjamin thought in disbelief. Nevertheless, he didn't hesitate as he quickly rushed in. His addition to the fight caused the people of the Leynthall Family to feel pressured as they had to dispatch some people to stop him.

"F*ck off!" Abigail said indifferently when she saw Benjamin had returned.

At this juncture, anyone related to Greg just made her angrier.

Unfortunately, Benjamin didn't think that she was lashing out because of Greg and merely thought that she was worried about Anastasia. So, he quickly said, "Ma'am, I have brought the girl to safety. Don't worry."

As she noticed that Benjamin had taken good care of Anastasia, she wasn't against him participating in the brawl. Instead, she utterly immersed herself in the fight as she dealt with the people before her mercilessly. She pictured these people as the instructors in Hitman Island, and each bore cruel sneers, which made her burst with rage.

By the time Greg arrived at the scene, what came into sight was Abigail's lethal style of combat. For a moment, he shoved his anger at her to the side as he stepped forward and brutally kicked Abigail's opponent away. Then, he pulled her into his arms.

"Are you nuts? Do you not want this leg anymore?" Greg was so angered that he could feel his body trembling with sheer undiluted rage. Unfortunately, Abigail was not in the mood to hear anything Greg had to say at this moment.

"Go away! My life and death have nothing to do with you!"

Abigail struggled to rush back into the fight, but Greg ignored her struggles as he carried her over his shoulders, and said to Benjamin, "I'll leave these people to you."

With that, he carried her away and left the fight without so much as a by your leave.

His actions made Benjamin a little unhappy.

These people are so vicious, yet Mr. Buckley simply left me to deal with them alone. Is he serious? I also know that Abigail is more important to him than me. But things are also difficult for me, okay? So, who's going to help me?!

Of course, Greg could not hear the cry in Benjamin's heart as he wasn't a mind reader. Even if he could, he wouldn't halt his steps to take Abigail back to safety.

Abigail was outraged. "Let me go, Greg! Let me go!"

Right now, the last person she wanted to see was Greg. This man is actually carrying me like he's carrying a sack of rice. Does my reputation not matter?

Regardless, Greg ignored her yells as he only placed her down in a doctor's office. Finally, he ordered stonily, "Check her leg injury."

The doctor was startled by Greg's ferocious appearance and was slightly stunned when he saw Abigail. Then, his facial expression involuntarily twisted unpleasantly when he saw that Abigail's leg was already swollen.

"Dr. Kain, you're a doctor yourself! Just what did you do to your leg that the swelling has gotten so severe? Do you not want this leg anymore?"

The doctor's reprimand angered Abigail a little. Yet, she kept a tight leash on her emotions as she wasn't in the habit of lashing out her feelings at people who were undeserving of her irritation. Instead, she remained silent and said nothing.

When Greg heard the doctor's words, he quickly asked, "Will there be any permanent side effects?"

"Well, there just might be if she doesn't take good care of it," the doctor said while treating Abigail's injury.

Greg finally couldn't ignore the anger in his heart when he saw that Abigail's condition had definitely worsened after the fight.

"Are you stupid? Don't you know that you're injured? Yet you actively participated in a fight in your condition! So, Abigail, just what were you thinking?!"

"What's the matter? Do you still wish to punish me? Fine! Let's have a match in the boxing ring!"

At this moment, Abigail was simmering with rage. Hence, it was natural for her to add oil to the fire and even speak to him nastily.

Her attitude made Greg let out a burst of mad laughter.

"Oh, so you wish to go to the boxing gym with me? There's no need for that. I know a better place for the two of us to compete. So you better be well-prepared to bear the consequences."

"As if I'd back down! I will even take your family name if I chicken out!" Typically, Abigail was not like this. But now, she was triggered by Greg so much that she didn't even bother to filter her words.

He merely sneered but remained silent at her provocative words.

It was an irrefutable fact that both their tempers ran rather hot. Their overbearing aura spread out indiscriminately, making the doctor shiver a little. At that moment, the doctor just wanted to treat her quickly and requested that these two menacing figures leave his office immediately.

After the doctor applied medicine to the wound, the cooling sensation helped ease her out of her wrathful mood. So, when she had the presence of mind to recall her reckless actions earlier, she felt a little strange.

That was totally unlike me!

However, she became even more annoyed when she looked at Greg's clearly annoyed face. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Abigail waited until the doctor finished applying the medicine to her leg. Then, she immediately stood and made to leave. But, just as she was about to leave, Greg carried her over his shoulders again.

Once again, the fury simmering within Abigail blew up.

"Let me down, Greg! I can walk by myself!"

"Shut up!" Greg let out a low growl and slapped Abigail's bottom. The crisp sound instantly stunned both Abigail and the doctor.

Shortly after, Abigail's face flushed crimson to the base of her neck, and she even had the urge to bite this man to death on the spot.

I can't believe it! He actually slapped my bottom! Right in front of my colleague!

"Greg Buckley!" Abigail snarled his name through gritted teeth, wishing to either knock him or herself out so badly.

Even so, Greg seemed to have not heard her. Instead, he merely carried Abigail out of the doctor's office and headed outside with a dark expression on his face.

Out of frustration, Abigail angrily bit his shoulder and refused to let go until a faint smell of blood assailed her nostrils. Only then did she release her bite gloomily. Greg did not seem to feel it as he maintained his stony silence while he stuffed Abigail into the car straight away and returned to Allie's Garden at once.

"Greg, I want to break—um—" Before Abigail could say the word 'break up', Greg pressed her down and instantly kissed her mouth shut domineeringly.

What's the matter with this awful man kissing me whenever we disagree with each other? Wasn't he the one who said I slept around with many men? Yet, he actually dares to kiss me right now?

As soon as she thought of that, she bit him harshly. In an instant, Greg flinched from pain and halted his actions.

"Get out of here, Greg! I wouldn't let you touch me even if I had slept with many men! Leave!" At this moment, Abigail's eyes were red-rimmed, and he noticed that she was clearly holding back her tears.

Once he saw that, the roiling rage under his skin immediately calmed.

"I admit that I was distraught when I first learned about it and found it difficult to accept. But Abigail, I never thought about giving up on you from the beginning to the end. I admit that I was upset because of my guilt. If I could have immediately located you five years ago, you wouldn't have to endure all these. I hate myself."

Initially, Greg did not want to talk about this. Be that as it may, Abigail had such a big reaction because of Troy's words, so he was afraid that this woman would really break up with him if he did not explain

his side of the story himself.

Greg felt exceptionally terrible when he recalled the words she was about to say if he hadn't stopped her with a kiss.

How can I let her leave me when I finally found myself a wife?

Abigail was stunned for a while, as if she did not expect Greg to have such thoughts.

"So you didn't get drunk because you found out I came from Hitman Island?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Abigail was instantly distressed by Greg's words.

"Forget it. I don't want to hear it anymore. Be it the truth or a lie. I'm not interested in any of it. I'm tired and want to rest. Leave now." Therefore, she demanded that he leave.

Her demands nonplused Greg as he lay on one side and muttered under his breath, "It was really frustrating when I first knew about it. But the most frustrating part was that I wasn't by your side when you needed me the most. Hugh told me that it was him who saved you. I can't help but feel depressed when I think that my love rival saved you and the child in your belly. Abigail, I admit that I'm very petty, but I can distinguish and understand right and wrong. So, you shouldn't condemn me without hearing what I have to say."

As he spoke to this point, he felt a little aggrieved.

There was no doubt that Abigail also felt wronged by his assumptions? But she couldn't help the sigh escaping her when she heard that it was Hugh who had exaggerated the details of the story.

"Hugh lied to you. I'm indeed from Hitman Island, but I was deemed a failure before I graduated. At that time, the instructor probably thought I was already dead and threw me into the sea to feed the sharks. Hugh happened to pass by and save me, so I didn't go through that last process. I can swear that I have never been with any other man but you. Do you believe me?" Abigail could feel the bitterness in her heart as she spoke those words.

Presently, she had no evidence to prove her innocence. Hence, she really had no idea how to defend herself from Greg's assumptions of her.

Unexpectedly, Greg jumped when he heard her words; as he looked at her in utter surprise, he exclaimed, "I believe you! I believe everything you say. I know you won't lie to me. You're too good for those sc*mbags on Hitman Island with your medical achievements. So why would you lie to me? But, Abigail, I admit that this news makes me exceedingly happy!"

As she regarded Greg's cheerful state, she thought, He doesn't seem like he's pretending at all. At the thought of that, she felt somewhat comforted.

He does believe me, right?

"Just ask me if you want to know something about me, and don't overthink about it alone. I promise that I, Abigail, will never lie to you."

Greg knew that Abigail was someone who would not make promises easily. However, once she made a promise, it would be a promise of a lifetime. Hence, her words had indeed touched him.

Out of the blue, he hugged her tightly and buried his face in her long hair. Then, he whispered, "Abigail, why do I like you so much? I feel like I can't live without you. You're not allowed to get mad at me in the future, and you must never take your health for granted. Do you understand me? I worry."

Abigail frowned slightly upon hearing his words.

How dare this man even mention this!

"Greg, you actually spanked me in public! Do you have a death wish?!"

Without warning, Abigail pulled Greg's ear and twisted it hard, making him cry out in pain. "Sweetheart, take it easy. It hurts! O-Ouch!"

"So, you still know what pain feels like? You can try me if you pull the same stunt. I promise that you wouldn't like what punishments I dish out."

Eventually, Abigail was reluctant to cause him significant pain. So, she let go when she heard Greg's cries of pain. Coincidentally, both their phones rang at the same time.
