Chapter 34
He picked up the phone suspiciously and called the nurse.
"Can you check if Alissa is still in the ward?"
The nurse paused for a while before she whispered, "Mr. Buckley, she said she's going out for a walk, but she hasn't come back yet. I was planning to call you earlier."
Greg's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"There's no need for that—I see her right now."
After hanging up the phone, Greg became a little irritable.
There were still traffickers in Harrion who dared to abduct and sell his daughter on his territory?
Moreover, what was going on with Alissa's smiling and well-behaved look?
Could it be that she was drugged by this man?
When he thought of this possibility, Greg couldn't calm down.
"Stop!"
He took a step forward and directly stopped Hugh and the others. As he frowned slightly, Hugh glanced at the man in front of him.
Hmm, he has a pretty murderous aura.
However, he didn't seem to know Greg!
"Go away!"
Hugh was not a good-natured person and was only nice to Abigail and her daughters. Needless to say, it was impossible for him to show a pleasant attitude to anyone else.
"How volatile you are!" Greg sneered, and his killing aura spread.
Arianna suddenly seemed to think of something, and she was a little excited.
Is this man Daddy?
She didn't care about the strong animosity between Hugh and Greg, but she picked up the phone and sent a message to Alissa.
'Alissa, I saw Daddy.'
'What?'
Alissa was stunned.
'Where?'
"At the entrance of the hotel. Papa was carrying me and he rushed over directly."
Alissa was busy typing with Arianna. When Hugh glanced at Arianna, he was relieved to see that the little girl was not paying attention to him now, but in Greg's eyes, that was not the case at all.
He felt that Hugh was relieved because Hugh thought the child was so well-behaved.
Greg's tone was low and commanding as he called out, "Come here, Alissa!"
Arianna was still chatting with Alissa, and she didn't realize that Greg had regarded herself as Alissa.
When Greg saw the girl's unresponsiveness, he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
As for Hugh, when he heard Greg calling out Alissa's name, he knew that he had identified the wrong girl. How did this man actually know Alissa, though?
He frowned slightly and looked at Greg carefully.
When he finally realized it, he was startled. It was easy for Hugh to guess Greg's identity, but he became slightly angry when he saw the similarity between Greg and the children.
For so many years, Abigail and her daughters had always been under his protection. He planned to protect them all his life, and he even hoped to become a family with them. Now that such a man suddenly appeared, how could this man still think of grabbing the children away from him?
How dare he?
Hugh put Arianna down and said softly, "Darling, stand here and don't move. I'll take you to eat something delicious in a while."
Arianna raised her head slightly and glanced at Greg behind her.
"But…"
"Don't worry! Be obedient."
Hugh put Arianna down on the chair beside him, then he turned to look at Greg.
"What's the matter? Do you want to fight?"
"Come on. If I don't beat you up today, this won't be my territory."
Greg didn't like anything about Hugh now.
This man didn't look like he was frightened to be caught at all, and he even coaxed the child unhurriedly.
In fact, Greg felt a little strange. Why did Alissa, who has always been reckless, listen to this man like this today?
But upon seeing Arianna's expression of hesitating to speak, Greg felt that it must be Hugh who had threatened the child. Otherwise, how could the child look so scared like this?
With that, Greg was instantly furious.
Hugh was not nice to him either and attempted to punch him directly.
Greg quickly returned to defense, but he also knew that the opponent was well-trained.
Nevertheless, no matter who the other party was, it was absolutely impossible for the other man to take his daughter away in front of him!
Soon, the two quickly got into a fight, and Arianna opened her mouth in surprise.
As for Alissa, she was rushing here by car. She felt that Arianna hadn't replied in a long time, so she hurriedly asked, 'What's the situation?'
'Papa and Daddy are fighting.'
'Why?'
'I do not know either.'
Arianna texted in a daze, whereas Alissa was frantic.
'Papa is so powerful. What if he harms Daddy?'
'I do not know.'
Arianna's reply again made Alissa panic.
If only I'm there! No, I can't let Papa beat Daddy up. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Alissa hurriedly called Abigail, who had just fallen asleep and was woken up by her daughter's phone call.
"Mommy, hurry up and save Daddy. Papa is so good at fighting, and he'll certainly injure Daddy."
Abigail didn't understand what Alissa was saying, but she only heard the word 'Daddy'. In response, she said impatiently, "Greg is no longer a child, and he can handle his own affairs by himself. I'm very tired and need to sleep, so don't bother me."
"Mommy, Papa should be downstairs. Go and have a look, or he will really kill someone!" Alissa shouted anxiously.
Abigail was somewhat startled when she heard the word 'Papa'.
"Hugh?"
"Yes, Papa is fighting with people downstairs!"
Alissa knew that her mother might not be completely conscious right now, and her mother didn't seem to be very interested in her daddy, so she omitted Greg's name.
Sure enough, Abigail sat up.
"This Hugh! He hasn't cleaned up those people tailing him properly and actually led them here. I got it. I'll go down right now."
When she heard Abigail say this, Alissa breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Mommy can go down and have a look, Daddy and Papa should not be able to fight for long.
Thinking of this, Alissa said to the cab driver, "Excuse me, but please drive faster. My father can't wait any longer."
"Okay, okay."
The taxi driver accelerated promptly.
Soon, Abigail put on her clothes and hurried downstairs. She saw that Hugh was fighting with a man, whereas Arianna was shouting anxiously, "Stop fighting, stop fighting!"
However, the two big men didn't seem to be listening to her.
Abigail's anger rushed up all at once.
Don't these abominable jerks have daughters of their own? Don't they see that the child is so young? They are actually fighting in front of her!
Abigail took a step forward and kicked Greg.
"Damn it, how dare you bully our family. Are you tired of living?"
Abigail's kick was really well-timed. Just as Hugh was launching an attack and Greg was concentrating on responding to the enemy, she kicked Greg's chest.
The man felt a sudden pain in his chest while something rushed to his throat, so he quickly took two steps back.
Meanwhile, Hugh was also stunned by the sight.
Abigail didn't look at who the other party was at all. After the successful move, she launched another attack again. Just then, she stabbed toward the other party's neck with the scalpel in her hand.
When Greg saw that the woman in front of him was Abigail, he almost exploded.
Is this woman an idiot?
How could she turn on me and even use the scalpel?
If she cuts my throat, I will definitely die unjustly.
Greg's eyes were slightly cold, and he subconsciously gripped Abigail's wrist with one hand before snorting coldly, "Are you blind? Can't you tell the difference between the enemy and ally?"
Huh?
Abigail suddenly felt that the voice sounded a little familiar, but since she wasn't wearing her contact lenses, she couldn't see clearly.
She suddenly grabbed Greg's collar and pulled him toward her. Immediately, Greg's handsome face was enlarged in front of the woman. Moreover, because of the force, Greg couldn't stop in time as his entire body lurched and fell into Abigail's arms.
In that instant, the two people's lips came together seamlessly.
Abigail felt her mind going blank at that moment, whereas Greg was also stunned.
What is this woman doing? Why is she taking advantage of me in front of so many people?
He didn't know how to react at all, but Arianna spoke suddenly.
"That's so embarrassing!"
Meanwhile, Hugh's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Then, he dragged Abigail and Greg apart before he pulled the woman behind him in a protective way. Looking at Greg in front of him, his eyes almost burst into flames.
"How dare you touch her? You are so dead!"
Hugh was not a good man at all, but now that the woman he liked was taken advantage of by Greg in front of him, he wanted to kill that person.
However, Abigail finally reacted.
"Hugh, don't touch him!" Abigail grabbed Hugh's arm, but this made his anger surge.
"Are you protecting him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I protect you and kick him just now? You have no conscience!"
Abigail's words made Greg, who was still a little confused just now, become angry again.
He originally thought that Abigail hadn't seen him clearly, but it turned out that she was originally here to hit him.
Wait, does she know this guy?
With hindsight, Greg finally discovered this problem, and his expression was unusually ugly.
"Who is he?"
Greg's tone was unbelievably annoyed.
Abigail's vision was a little blurry, but she could hear the displeasure from Greg's tone.
She said lightly, "He is Alissa's Papa. She grew up beside him, and he's like a father figure to her. Why did you fight him? Don't you know that he is injured?"
"Injured? I really don't see where he's injured."
When Greg heard Abigail say that Hugh had watched his daughter grow up, his tone was very unpleasant.
Why should my daughter be cared for by other men?
"Alissa, come here!"
Greg stretched his hand out toward Arianna, whereas the little girl was slightly overwhelmed by the situation.
My sister hasn't come yet, and it seems that the relationship between Mommy and Daddy is not very good. What should I do?
"Alissa! Let's go! I will take you back! Since your mommy has a boyfriend by her side, let's not delay their date any longer!"
When Greg saw that Arianna would not come, he stepped forward and grabbed her before turning around to leave.
"Put my daughter down!"
Abigail wanted to grab Greg, but because she wasn't wearing her contact lenses, she didn't manage to grab him.
Hugh seemed to realize all of a sudden that Greg had taken Arianna as Alissa.
