Not One, But Two!

Chapter 233

When she saw Greg's expectant gaze, Abigail really couldn't bear to say those words. However, there were things that shouldn't be delayed, and withholding topics was the worst thing one could do in a relationship.

She was in deep thought for a while before she said, "After getting discharged tomorrow, I'll head to Frasers Residence right away. Teal's treatment is about to start, and the children are there as well. I've also asked Addison to check in on Amy, and she'll come along with me. I hurt my leg, but as long as Amy is with me, I won't have to suffer too much."

Even though he had already guessed that Abigail wouldn't be returning to Allie's Garden, he still felt upset when he heard those words from her own mouth.

However, with everything that had been going on recently, he couldn't blame Abigail for leaving Allie's Garden.

Greg said tentatively, "Shall I tag along?"

Abigail frowned and shook her head. "I'm going there to treat Teal, not to be her guest. Would it be appropriate if I brought my family along? You should stay at home, recover, and watch the house for me. By the way, where's my cat?"

Greg felt even more upset now.

Was a cat more important to Abigail than him?

He said huffily, "I made it into a stew and ate it."

"Be sensible!" She gave him another punch.

He was a little sad now. "Sweetheart, you don't love me anymore."

"Yes, I don't love you anymore."

Abigail didn't think too much as she agreed with his sentiment, which greatly terrified Greg.

"How dare you! Even if you don't love me anymore, I'll stick with you all your life! They say that women are scared of men who stick with them 24/7. I swear you won't get rid of me."

"How shameless!"

Even though she scolded him, the corners of her mouth turned up. She seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing her like that, he was instantly elated. "I don't want to be separated from you! I'm a patient too, as well as your darling husband. Are you really leaving me to fend for myself for another woman's sake?"

"You did this to yourself."

Abigail didn't pity him in the slightest, and her words remained sharp and painful.

Greg clutched his chest as he looked at Abigail pleadingly. The look in his eyes was unbearable.

"Take good care of my cat. If it gets hurt in the slightest, I'll fight you to the death." She ignored him and dropped those cruel words, which angered him so much that he felt his stomach writhing in pain. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

If that cat was so precious to her, he would make the cat stew out of it.

Even though he felt that way, he dared not voice his thoughts.

The two chatted sweetly for a while before Abigail felt a little sleepy. Greg was human too, and he wasn't in high spirits either.

"Move aside. I'll squeeze in with you. I'm too lazy to go back."

Greg immediately got into bed, which caused Abigail to frown a little.

This man was really shameless.

"This bed is very small."

Her intentions were clear about wanting him to go back. However, he pretended not to understand.

"It's okay. If I hug you, we can fit in."

With that, he lay down and wrapped his arms around Abigail's waist, then closed his eyes.

As the familiar scent filled his nostrils, Greg felt his heart calm down considerably. He felt warm and comfortable.

Soon, the man's steady breathing could be heard.

Abigail looked at his sleeping face and recalled everything this man did before a certain warmth flitted across her heart.

There were rarely people who would do so much for her, and even when her mother found fault with Greg, he didn't back away, nor did he shield Valerie. He always stood on her side, and she was deeply moved by him.

This man quietly conquered her heart, and she couldn't bear to leave him.

Abigail chuckled softly and whispered, "Sweet dreams, Greg."

With that, she closed her eyes and quietly went to sleep.

The sun shone in through the windows, and the two quiet sleeping faces gave off an aura of peace and stability.

Abigail would be getting discharged the next day. Despite his reluctance, Greg knew him well and he was also aware that she wouldn't listen to him. Moreover, she had her own matters to attend to. However, when he thought about them being apart for a while, he was terribly sullen.

His expression was cold throughout the process.

When Addison saw Greg's behavior, he felt curiously happy.

Greg said coldly, "I heard you're quite skilled. Can you show me?"

"I don't bully patients. Miss Abigail will get mad," Addison retorted, angering Greg to no end.

When Abigail noticed that Greg was in a bad mood, she took his hand and said in a low voice, "Bend over."

"Why?" Greg's tone wasn't too cheerful. Even though he knew that he shouldn't take his anger out on Abigail since this all happened because of Valerie, he was still upset.

She wasn't affected much as she said, "You're not going to lose anything if you bend over."

Greg retracted his expression slightly as he bent over.

Abigail immediately planted a kiss on Greg's lips. Even though it was just a peck, it managed to change the expressions on Benjamin and Addison's faces.

Benjamin hastily turned around to avoid looking at them and he pulled Addison along with him as well.

Meanwhile, Addison's heart was extremely bitter. Miss Abigail actually kissed Greg in front of everybody! What's so good about Greg, anyway?

Greg was stunned, and before Abigail moved to break the kiss, he placed a forceful hand behind her head. The fiery kiss robbed every breath from the woman.

The two were slightly panting whereas Addison felt as if he was about to go mad. He could only watch as Abigail was being bullied by this man, and he was unable to do anything about it. This feeling was the worst.

On the other hand, Abigail didn't know what Addison was thinking. She was finally released after almost being suffocated by Greg's kisses.

As Greg gazed at Abigail's slightly reddened face, he said in a hoarse voice, "Two weeks. You have to come back within two weeks, or I'll go over and take you back."

Knowing that he had compromised, she felt some sweetness in her heart.

"Alright. After all, the Frasers Residence isn't that far from Allie's Garden. We can even video call each other. Be sure to rest well when I'm not around and don't skip your meals. Also, don't work too hard. Benjamin isn't there just to look pretty; you can let him handle the work. He needs the experience."

Benjamin was pleasantly surprised by Abigail's words, but when he thought about the businesses under Buckley Group, he frowned.

He really wanted to say he couldn't do it, and that it was too much for him. However, he feared that Greg might reprimand him, so he simply shut up.

As he listened to Abigail's concern about him, Greg couldn't help but say happily, "Don't forget to send me videos every day. I can't even eat properly without you."

"It's about time you lose weight, so just eat without me." Abigail grinned as she spoke.

Greg realized that there was a certain light within Abigail's eyes—the sort that reeled people in.

"Take good care of your leg. Amy has been discharged from the hospital, so let her do anything you want to do. If she can't do it, hire a caretaker. They don't cost too much. Don't tire yourself out, okay?"

"Okay."

Abigail felt that if she remained here, Greg would nag for eternity, so she said, "Let's go, Addison."

He had been waiting for those words. As soon as he heard it, he hastily turned around. He saw Abigail's loving attitude, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart as he glared at Greg with a hostile look.

"Excuse me, Mr. Buckley." Addison's voice was terribly cold.

Greg decided not to argue with a child, so he said to Abigail, "Call me when you've settled down."

"Sure."

Even though it wasn't a permanent parting, both Abigail and Greg felt a little reluctant to part ways.

With that, Addison pushed Abigail out of the hospital and helped her into the car.

As Greg watched the car start, he said a little dejectedly, "Benjamin, what am I supposed to do for the next two weeks?"

Benjamin didn't dare speak without a thought, so he could only hide his presence.

Greg sighed and got into his own car.

When Abigail arrived at Frasers Residence, Teal was already waiting for her at the door. Amy had also returned and she walked over to Abigail as soon as she saw Abigail.

"Dr. Kain, is your leg alright?" Amy was a little worried.

"I'm fine, and I just need some rest. I'll be depending on you."

"Of course."

Amy pushed Abigail inside.

After placing a few bodyguards, Addison left with a call.

When the children saw that Abigail had returned, they went to greet her. Then, Abigail sent them upstairs to play by themselves. When she saw the grayish green tone in Teal's face, she knew that the toxin was circulating.

"Let's hurry. We have to get the medicinal bath up and running, as well as prepare for acupuncture. It's not convenient for me, so I'll tell you how to poke the needles later, Amy. Be sure to remember." Abigail's words stunned the other woman.

Traditional Chinese medicine skills were rarely shared with outsiders unless the recipients were devoted students. Amy was surprised that Abigail would choose to do it, but it was a pleasant surprise.

"Dr. Kain, are you recognizing me as your student?"

This had always been Amy's wish.

Before this, Abigail had no intention of taking Amy as her student, but the incident with Genevieve opened her eyes to Amy's regards about her, so she could only say, "I'm not much older than you, so you don't have to call me teacher. Just call me Miss Abigail."

"No, a teacher is a teacher. After this acupuncture, I'll make it official. Please don't say no."

The look in Amy's wet eyes was warm, and Abigail was moved at the sight as well.

"Let's get to work first."

"Yes, Miss Abigail." Amy hastily went and prepared the medicinal bath.

When Teal saw this scene, she smiled and said, "You got yourself a student so quickly, and I've turned into a beneficiary instead."

"You have to pay for this. Don't think I'm doing this for free."

Even though Abigail described it like that, she had a faint smile on her lips. There was an air of friendship between them.

"No worries. The Frasers are a wealthy family, so we can pay whatever price you name."

Teal smiled and left to get ready.

Abigail retrieved the treatment plan she drafted out beforehand and after making sure there were no issues, she set to work.

The medicinal bath lasted more than half an hour, then Abigail taught Amy acupuncture. As such, three hours had passed by the time everything had ended. Even though Abigail didn't do it herself, she was extremely fatigued regardless. It felt like all the energy had drained from her.

Teal was in high spirits, however. When she saw Amy and Abigail looking worse, she hastily told them to rest upstairs, and she would call them when it was time for dinner.

Abigail accepted the offer. After getting upstairs, she heard a notification sound coming from her phone. She casually grabbed her phone and looked at it before her breaths paused. In an instant, her entire face quickly turned red.
