Chapter 83
Greg didn't seem to be looking at Ethan at all.
His eyes gazed somewhere in front of him, but his thoughts were empty.
He and Genevieve had been entangled with each other for so many years, and he was really tired of it, but he was a little unwilling to just break up and admit that the relationship that had dragged on for so many years had not blossomed at all.
Should I end this hopeless relationship or continue to work hard at it?
Greg was confused. Then, the thought of Abigail involuntarily passed through his mind. Abigail and Genevieve obviously were not the same kind of people, but he felt very comfortable when he was with Abigail. Although sometimes he would be angry with her, she was a reasonable woman.
Greg couldn't help comparing Abigail and Genevieve in his heart, feeling that he was biased toward the former.
Greg shook his head quickly, only to realize that Ethan had arrived at his side at some point. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Why did you get up?"
"Ethan, it's been half an hour."
Ethan was almost choked to death by Greg's words.
That woman has already entered the operating room, so why is he still so precise with the time?
Greg nodded and said nothing, then sat down on the chair beside them and said lightly, "You are here for Zoe, right?"
"Yeah."
"Get out after the operation! Don't stay here. If I come to know that you trouble Abigail again, I won't spare you."
This was a clear threat from Greg.
Ethan's hands tightly clenched into fists, but his expression remained the same.
"Got it."
For a while, there was silence.
Abigail was performing surgery in the operating room while Amy continued helping her.
This operation was very dangerous. If it were someone else, they would definitely be caught in it for a long time, but Abigail's movements were fast and precise, as if she was simply doing the usual and finished the operation easily.
However, Amy still saw that her expression was not good.
"Dr. Kain, are you alright? You don't look good; are you too tired?"
Abigail shook her head slightly, stretched her arms, and said in a low voice, "Help deal with the wound for me. It seems to have split open."
"Huh? Wound? Are you hurt?"
Amy was a little anxious.
Abigail took off her surgical gown, but she found that her clothes inside had already come into contact with her skin.
If she dealt with it now, Zoe would probably be infected with bacteria.
Thus, she put on her surgical gown again.
"After we go out, deal with it for me. Have the others take her away."
Abigail was drenched in a cold sweat from the pain.
The wound was not far from where her heart was, and this operation required her to lift her arms all the time. In fact, the wound had split open from the beginning, but she persisted.
After more than an hour of surgery, her arms were going numb, and the wound condition was even worse.
Now, she had no strength at all.
Abigail sat on the chair next to the operating table and panted, her face terrifyingly pale.
Shortly after, Amy hurriedly ordered someone to push Zoe out of the room.
Ethan was outside, and if she and Abigail didn't go out soon, he might make trouble again.
Thinking of this, Amy quickly followed after the others.
When Greg saw that the woman who came out was not Abigail, he couldn't help but be startled and asked, "Where's Abigail?"
"Dr. Kain is very tired, so she's resting inside for a while."
Amy was an experienced woman and knew not to let others know about Abigail's physical condition without knowing why she was injured.
This was to protect Abigail.
Hearing this, Greg frowned slightly.
The operation only lasted a little over an hour, so it should not tire Abigail out unless her wound was affected.
Greg was a little worried, so he tried to go inside but was stopped by Amy.
"Sorry, outsiders are not allowed in the operating room."
"I just want to go and see her."
Greg was very dissatisfied with Amy, who stopped him. If it weren't for the fact that she was Abigail's assistant, he would have had her dragged away long ago.
Amy was startled by Greg's murderous aura, so she took a step back subconsciously, but she still insisted on guarding the door of the operating room.
"Sorry, you can't go in."
Abigail heard it clearly inside, but now she was feeling a little irritable.
What does this man want?
"Greg, get out of here!" In a bad temper, Abigail shouted loudly.
Ethan was slightly taken aback.
How dare someone speak to Greg like that!
He gave Greg a thoughtful look.
As for Greg, he said coldly, "Fine! Who would even bother to see you?"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
When passing by Ethan, he said angrily, "What are you looking at? Don't you know how to push Zoe back to the ward?"
Ethan knew that Greg was angry. However, he didn't speak and pushed Zoe back to the ward by himself.
After Greg was sure that Ethan was gone, he said to the people around him, "Keep watch over Ethan. If he shows the subtlest action toward Abigail, take heavy precautions."
"Yes, Mr. Buckley. "
After instructing this, Greg came back.
Amy was initially relieved when she saw that the two of them were gone, but suddenly she noticed Greg coming back and was surprised.
"Oh, aren't you leaving?"
"Go away!"
Greg pushed Amy away and entered the operating room.
Outsiders are not allowed in? Ridiculous! Am I an outsider? I'm Abigail's family!
Greg entertained himself in his heart and quickly entered the operating room.
Amy couldn't stop him, so she followed in angrily, only to find that Abigail had taken off her clothes. Her smooth skin was particularly attractive under the reflection of the bright surgical lights.
Greg didn't expect to see such a scene when he came in, so he suddenly stopped and gulped as emotions surged in his eyes.
Although Abigail was a little annoyed about Greg's sudden entry, she felt that it was fortunate that it was him. After all, he had seen her own body before, and now was not the time to be pretentious.
Seeing Amy looking stunned behind Greg, she got a little angry.
"What are you staring at? Why don't you come and help?"
"Ah? Oh!" Amy nodded quickly as Abigail directly ignored Greg.
"Bring the surgical scissors and hemostatic forceps," Abigail ordered, her voice trembling a little because of the pain.
"I'll disinfect first," Amy said quickly and then quickly ran to disinfect the wound.
Then, Abigail leaned back on the chair and gasped in pain.
Greg frowned when he saw that the blood on her chest had clotted together.
"Did it happen during the surgery?"
"Yes."
Abigail did not care to reply, but she also knew that if she didn't answer, Greg would definitely ask again.
In order to stop him from asking further, she had to reply.
Greg's eyes flickered a few times before he said, "You're already in this condition; how could you still rush back for surgery? Is Harrion so scary? Is it scarier than your wound splitting open? When did you become a chicken?"
"Can you shut up? Get out or shut up; choose one!"
Abigail flew into a rage. Hearing that, Amy trembled. She had assisted Abigail for so long, but she rarely saw the latter being so irritable. It could be said that she had never seen Abigail argue with someone else like that in so many years.
Now, Greg was like a fuse, blowing up Abigail's emotions hidden under her cold exterior.
She couldn't help but glance at Greg a few more times.
Greg was very handsome. It was not the pretty kind of handsome that was popular now. Instead, he had a little more masculinity. All in all, his ruffian temperament was also part of the charm, which made him even more fascinating. Such men were destined to be popular wherever they went.
However, the male patients and family members that Abigail had seen over these years were also as handsome as Greg, but Abigail had never acted like she did now. Why was Greg so special?
She still remembered that a male patient broke into Abigail's office a year ago because he liked Abigail. At that time, Abigail was changing clothes and had an inner blouse on, but because the male patient broke in, Abigail almost caused the other person to go blind.
However, even though Greg had seen almost all of Abigail's nude upper body right now, she was actually sitting there indifferently, without reaction.
Could it be that she and Greg had a relationship going on?
Amy guessed in her heart as she disinfected the wound.
Greg didn't care what Amy thought. When he saw Abigail's appearance like this, he felt as if his heart had been pierced by something sharp, and it hurt for a long time. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
"Abigail, follow me back to Harrion after you deal with the wound."
"Whether I go back or not is none of your business!"
Abigail felt that Greg was very annoying, and she really wanted to sew up his mouth.
Greg naturally saw the impatience in Abigail's eyes, but he said firmly, "Either you go back with me, or I will drag you back. You choose."
"Either you shut up now and get out by yourself, or I'll kick you out. You choose."
Abigail's voice was colder as she gnashed her teeth.
Greg was stunned.
Am I being threatened?
However, seeing Abigail enduring the pain, he couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart.
"I can get out, but you have to follow me after you're done here. There's nothing to fear in Harrison; haven't you always had the upper hand? What are you running for? You coward."
Greg's last two words stimulated Abigail.
"I'm a coward! So what? Do you have an opinion, Mr. Buckley? I'm not as lucky as Genevieve to have a boyfriend like you to protect her. No matter what she does, you will clean up the mess for her. 5 years ago, I was abandoned by my family and came to a foreign country alone with my children. I worked hard for them. No one could protect me from all the bad things, and I could only make it through by myself. When I can't take it anymore, what's wrong with finding a place to avoid it all and heal by myself? Did I hinder you in your business, Mr. Buckley? You just need to treat your girlfriend well; why do you care about me?"
Abigail suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
Her eyes were a little red, and after shouting, she suddenly felt stupid.
Why should I tell him all this?
Greg was startled by Abigail's words, and then he realized that she was just a woman.
It was just that these years of experience in the outside world had turned her into a stronger woman, causing others to think that she was invincible, but in fact, she was more vulnerable than anyone else.
Greg felt distressed, and he spoke suddenly. "I'll shelter you from everything bad in the future."
After saying this, the two were astonished at the same time.
