Not One, But Two!

Chapter 33

"Hugh!"

Abigail let out a suppressed shout, whereas Hugh took a step forward before pulling the mother and daughter behind him. Finally, he turned around quickly and threw the windbreaker on him out. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

The windbreaker seemed to instantly be pierced by something. At that moment, Hugh's face also became extremely ugly.

"Come on!"

Hugh pushed Abigail.

This was the first time Arianna had witnessed such a scene, and her face turned pale with fright.

"What's the matter, Mommy?" she gasped, panting with fear.

Abigail knew that Arianna's asthma had begun, so she said to Hugh, "Hugh, I'll take Arianna first. You can find me at room 305 of the Crown Hotel later."

"Okay, be careful."

Hugh didn't stop them because he knew Arianna couldn't take any shocks.

He had been careless!

Those people had chased him all the way here unexpectedly, and they were blatantly attacking him in public.

Abigail knew what Hugh was capable of, but she still said worriedly, "Be careful of your wounds. If you get one more wound, my reputation will be ruined by myself."

"Understood. Don't worry, you haven't promised to marry me yet, so I can't die."

Hugh's words suddenly made Abigail feel that she was worrying over nothing. In fact, the area that this man should get injured the most was his tongue.

Abigail got into the car while holding her daughter. Seeing that Arianna's face was not very good, she quickly found the medicine. "Eat this first and put on your headphones. Turn on your phone to watch some anime or play a game. Don't worry, with me here, nothing bad will happen."

Abigail's voice was extremely gentle.

Arianna swallowed, nodded quickly, and did as Abigail said.

Recently, she had been wanting to design a mobile game for Alissa. Now that she had the time for it, she turned on her phone and started writing several codes.

Once she connected to her computer, Arianna seemed to have entered another world completely, and she no longer paid attention to what was happening outside.

Abigail was relieved to see her like this, but she also saw that a car seemed to be following behind her, and it seemed that it was not someone friendly.

Just when the other party was about to hit Abigail's car, the woman hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and drove off.

Despite renting a car that was not very easy to drive, she still changed gears quickly and drove directly to a place where there was a crowd.

Although the other party was blatant, he still did not dare to overtake at will in such a crowded place.

Soon, Abigail gradually opened the distance between them before she finally stopped at the door of the hotel. She found a driver to drive the car away, and she carried the computer-obsessed Arianna into the hotel before going upstairs.

Meanwhile, Arianna had completely forgotten about reality and had no clue where she was. Anyway, as long as her mother was by her side, she was absolutely at ease.

Abigail carried her into the bedroom in the hotel suite. After putting Arianna in front of the table, the woman put some fruit and food that the little girl could eat beside her, and then she walked out once more.

Arianna subconsciously reached out and took some fruit. While nibbling on it, she continued to develop the code. Later on, Abigail changed her clothes and put on her usual surgical gown.

She had just done all this when Hugh jumped in directly from the window.

Upon seeing that, Abigail frowned slightly. "Can't you go through the door?"

"If I walk through the door, I will attract those people. I don't want to expose your location, for it would be bad if it brings danger to you."

Hugh sat directly on the sofa without any nervousness and took off his clothes in front of Abigail.

He was wearing a black shirt today, and although other people couldn't see anything, Abigail's nose was unusually sensitive. The strong smell of blood made her frown and worry.

"Why can't you find another doctor to treat you? What if you bled to death before you got to me?"

"It's my life we're talking about. You know that I'm not going to let anyone operate on me except you."

Hugh's body was covered with multiple large and small wounds. On his back, a deep and red gash appeared in front of Abigail that Hugh had simply disinfected and wrapped it around twice with gauze casually before coming over.

Abigail was a little angry as she said, "Do you have to torment yourself like this? I think you'll really die outside one day, and there will be no one to collect your corpse."

Although she was angry, she quickly took out the scalpel and medicinal alcohol before pouring it on Hugh's back.

The man hissed while his body twitched in pain, but he didn't dare to scream. He also didn't dare to appear dissatisfied, otherwise Abigail would just drive him out. After all, such a thing had happened before.

When Abigail saw that he was silent, she took out the anesthetic drug and was preparing to inject him with it when Hugh stopped her.

"Don't use anesthesia. Two hours is too short. I have to get on the plane and take Arianna with me. If the anesthesia doesn't wear off, I can't guarantee Arianna's safety."

"Look at you! You still want to take Arianna to Rorea? Don't even think about it; I won't let my daughter take any risks with you." Abigail directly refused.

Hugh looked at her and said in a low voice, "I promise that I'll become clean after this time. For the sake of you and your daughters, I will become a proper businessman."

"You shouldn't do that for us but for yourself, Hugh. It's really too dangerous for you to spend your days like this. I can't be by your side all the time to perform surgery on you. One day, if I don't come in time, you'll certainly die. I..."

Abigail's eyes turned red as she spoke.

Hugh quickly took her hand and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Don't cry. This time, I've really decided that I'll go to Rorea and transfer the power to others. I promise that I won't make you guys worry in the future, okay?"

Abigail pushed him away.

"I wasn't crying! Sand got into my eyes."

"Yeah, the wind is really strong and there's a lot of sand here."

Instead of exposing her, Hugh simply smiled warmly.

He lay on the sofa and whispered, "Come on, I can handle it."

Abigail had undergone numerous surgeries, but her hands were still trembling slightly when faced with the wound on Hugh's back.

After all, Hugh was different from others. Although he was a gang leader and a cruel person in the outside world, Hugh was Abigail's savior.

She had run away and smuggled herself out of Harrion five years ago. If she hadn't met Hugh on the way, she might have died in the sea.

Over the past five years, it was also because of Hugh that she was able to continue her studies during such a difficult time, and she learned how to protect herself when others bullied her. It was because of Hugh that she didn't die on the operating table while giving birth.

The love between them was not romantic, but platonic instead like two family members.

This man was always injured all over, and he was used to having her come to the rescue. However, she was really afraid that she would see his corpse one day.

Abigail took a deep breath and tried to calm her heart down before starting the surgery.

Hugh was twitching in pain, but he didn't dare to exert force or tense his body; he knew that once he did this, it would bring a lot of obstacles to Abigail's surgery. Although he was in pain, he was happy in his heart. After all, Abigail's world-renowned title as a world-class surgeon had been trained using his body.

Thinking of this, Hugh felt that the wound was not so painful anymore.

The surgery time was not long and only took 20 minutes, but Abigail collapsed after.

Upon seeing her pale face, Hugh then said with some distress, "I've caused you trouble."

"Will those people tagging behind you follow you to Rorea?"

Abigail was still worried about this problem.

She wanted to keep Arianna, but once she did so, Greg would know everything about the two children. He had fought so hard for just one child; once he knew that she had two daughters, she simply didn't dare to imagine what kind of attitude and expression Greg would have.

However, if Hugh left with Arianna, she couldn't bear the fact that Arianna might be frightened along the way. After all, these things were successfully avoided by Arianna in the past.

Hugh frowned slightly and asked, "I heard that Alissa is here, right?"

Abigail immediately understood.

"Are you going to let her go with you?"

"Yes, Alissa has been trained by me since she was a child. I am very relieved about her skills, and she can certainly protect herself. Also, you are right about Arianna's health not being suitable for long- distance travel, and she may not be able to stand even the blood alone. We can let her stay by your side while you take care of her for two days. Alissa will take my position one day anyway, and it's okay for me to train her."

Hugh quickly made a decision, whereas Abigail thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, I have some things to do in Harrion still. When I'm done, I'll take Arianna back there. Alissa is more impulsive, so you should pay more attention and don't give in to her all the time."

"Got it."

Hugh pursed his lips and smiled.

Abigail had long been immune to his handsome appearance, so she waved her hand and said, "You pack up and take Arianna downstairs to eat. I'm too tired; I want to take a shower and sleep for a while."

"Okay, I'll bring you a late-night snack."

After taking a deep breath, Hugh got up and cleaned himself up. Then, he went to Arianna's room.

"Arianna, is it okay if I take you out to eat?"

"Huh? Papa, when did you arrive?"

Arianna had just finished writing her code and was stretching when she saw Hugh walk in.

Hugh habitually wore a black shirt, so Arianna didn't notice anything and merely smelled some disinfectant.

"Papa, did you ask Mommy to apply medicine on you again? It smells bad."

"Sorry, it's my fault. I'm so hungry now, though. Shall we go out to eat?"

"What about Mommy?" Arianna looked outside.

Hugh picked her up and said with a smile, "She is too tired. She wants to rest for a while, so let's go out to eat first and bring some back to her."

"Okay."

Arianna was very happy to be carried out of the hotel by Hugh, and she chose to automatically forget about the frightening incident not long ago.

Meanwhile, Greg didn't see Abigail after he left the ward. Instead, he had accompanied Alissa for dinner in her ward. After telling her two stories, he saw Alissa fall asleep, so he ordered the nurse to take care of Alissa and left the hospital alone.

This won't do.

He wanted to find Abigail to make things clear because this woman was simply irresponsible as a mother.

However, when Greg arrived at the door of the hotel, he saw a stranger carrying Arianna out of the hotel.

At first glance, he knew that this man was definitely not a good person. Thus, his eyes suddenly sank a little.
