Not One, But Two!

Chapter 81

Nevertheless, Greg remained unfazed after Genevieve ran out and closed the door to the office instead. Just then, Abigail frowned slightly.

"Why didn't you run after your girlfriend? Also, why did you close the door to my office?"

"I'm not going to do anything to you, alright?" Greg said truthfully.

Abigail wasn't Genevieve, and her fighting skills shouldn't be underestimated. If Greg really were to attempt anything on her, he would have to pay for it.

Just then, Greg couldn't help but recall what happened that night five years ago before he felt his hormones acting up again.

F*ck! I can't think about it again. I can't even bear looking at her anymore.

Nevertheless, Abigail didn't notice what Greg was thinking about, as she was already tired from catching her flight, and Ethan causing a ruckus made her feel even more tired.

"You should leave if you've nothing to do here."

She started to get Greg to leave. On the other hand, although Greg didn't realize it himself, he was starting to care more about Abigail than Genevieve, as he could already feel his heart aching just by looking at Abigail's pale face.

"Didn't you eat anything during your flight?"

"Since when do airlines provide food for short trips?"

Abigail felt like Greg had asked a stupid question, so she rolled her eyes at him before leaning back in her seat and asking lazily, "Do you need anything from me? I'm going to take a nap if you're not. I'm tired."

At this moment in time, she was drained. Although she had already tended to her wound that reopened during her fight with Ethan's men, she needed time to regain her energy. Right then, she had decided to starve since she really wasn't feeling like eating takeout.

When Greg noticed how tired Abigail was, he removed his coat and threw it on a chair before he asked, "Do you have a kitchen here?"

"No. Are you telling me that you took a flight here just to cook for me?"

Abigail frowned when she figured out what Greg was trying to do.

There was a well-known saying that the way to a person's heart was through their stomach.

Although this saying generally applied to men, Abigail believed that it worked for her as well.

It was undeniable that Greg was really good at cooking, but she knew that she couldn't rely on his food because that wasn't the way she did things.

Still, Greg refused to believe her and looked around before he ordered food online after making sure that there was no kitchen.

"I'm not eating takeout. You shouldn't waste your effort on that," Abigail commented.

"It's not takeout. I'm asking my private chef to send food over."

In the beginning, Abigail wanted to reject Greg. However, she pondered for a moment before going along with it, since Greg had already contacted his chef. I'll just pay him back later on.

"Well, now that you've already settled on my meal, you may leave now."

Yet, Greg didn't leave. Instead, he took the seat right in front of her.

"Abigail, I hope that you can operate on Zoe."

Upon hearing that, Abigail got pissed off.

"Looks like you're still helping your friend out, huh?"

Thank God I wasn't tricked by his sugar-coated words, or I'd be regretting everything now, she thought to herself.

Nonetheless, Greg shook his head. "I'm not doing this for Ethan. Do you really think that we are close just because he addresses me by my name?"

"I don't get it. Explain yourself."

What Abigail said caused Greg's mouth to twitch a little, as Abigail was probably the only person who dared to speak to him in that manner.

Still, he had no choice, since he owed it to her.

It was easy to return a debt, but it was hard to return a favor. For his two adorable children, Greg had to suck it up no matter how bad-tempered Abigail was since she was the one who was pregnant for ten months before conceiving his daughters.

Greg tried convincing himself and inhaled deeply before explaining, "My relationship with Ethan isn't great. In fact, we're enemies. Do you remember when my mother was drugged in her room and almost died from blood loss? He's the one behind it."

Abigail was stunned when she heard him.

If what Greg said was true, Ethan's relationship with him was bad. Still, he addressed Greg in a really close way.

Abigail couldn't help but think about how Ethan reacted when he saw Greg.

That vindictive man actually concealed his emotions upon seeing Greg, so he's either lowering himself down because he's against Greg, or Greg is lying. Still, is there a need for Greg to lie to me?

Abigail didn't think that Greg would lie to her.

As for what happened between Greg and Ethan, she wasn't interested, nor did she want to know what happened.

"Since you're not close to each other, why would you help him out?"

"Listen here, Abigail. I'm not doing this to help Ethan out, but I'm pleading with you to save Zoe. Zoe is my mother's best friend's daughter, and she saved me once when I was a child. That's why I'm asking you to help her out. Of course, I'm just asking, and I can't control what you want to do in the end."

Although Greg was smart with his choice of words, Abigail was still displeased.

Can he stop being so indirect with his words when he had already told me the entire story of how Zoe saved him but still told me to do whatever I wanted?

However, she couldn't bring it upon herself to let Ethan off the hook so easily.

Knowing what Abigail was thinking about, Greg suggested with a soft voice, "Of course, I know that Ethan is a despicable person, but I know that he will listen to anything that I say for now, so let me know if you want him to do anything to make yourself feel better."

Abigail knew that Greg was helping her out to release her anger.

"Can I get him to kneel down to me?" she asked purposely. After all, that arrogant man would never kneel down to her, at least not in this lifetime.

Nevertheless, Greg replied indifferently, "Since you want him to kneel, he will have to kneel for now. I don't know what kind of dirty trick he'll pull later on, but I'll make sure that he does as you say for now."

"Get him to kneel for at least half an hour, then. Today's weather is not bad, so he should go outside to kneel under the sun and get some sunlight. If he can kneel for half an hour, I'll perform the operation on Zoe Huntington," Abigail said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing that, Greg stood up and left the room swiftly, causing Abigail to feel uneasy all of a sudden.

"Hey, why didn't you ask me about Zoe's condition if I get her to wait for another half an hour?"

However, Greg turned around and gave her a smile before saying, "You won't let her die. Even if I didn't come to ask for your help, you wouldn't really let her die just like that."

Abigail felt like punching someone when she heard Greg's reply.

How did he see through my acts?

Still, she couldn't help but feel comforted at the same time.

Thank goodness he still has trust in my medical ethics.

Right then, Abigail didn't notice how much she cared about Greg's opinion of herself as she waved him off and complained, "Get your chef to move quickly and send the food over, or I'll have no energy to carry out the operation."

"Of course," Greg answered as if he was a yes man.

Meanwhile, Abigail stared at him before she asked all of a sudden, "Don't you want me to give your girlfriend a chance after I pissed her off?"

"It's better to not give someone like her a chance, considering how she's been spoiled by her family ever since she was born. You shouldn't be offended by what she said."

"And here I thought you're the one who spoiled her."

Her comment made Greg feel awkward, and he quickly left, causing her to feel upset immediately.

Why am I feeling upset because he spoils his girlfriend? Still, Genevieve doesn't deserve someone like him. As expected, all men in love are often blinded by said love.

Abigail shook her head before she quickly discarded all of her thoughts.

On the other hand, Ethan immediately got pissed off when Greg told him about Abigail's request.

"That's impossible! Who does she think she is? How dare she request for me to kneel! Isn't she afraid that I might murder her?!"

"So, are you planning to watch Zoe bleed to death?" Greg asked nonchalantly, with a chilly look on his face.

Upon hearing him, Ethan went quiet.

"Greg, why can't you help Zoe out? Didn't she save your life back then? How could you watch her bleed to death?"

"But, the person that she chose back then wasn't me but you. You should know that I don't care about people whose first priority isn't me. Besides, I've already compensated them enough for saving my life back then, haven't I?" Greg said mercilessly.

Yet, Ethan knew that Greg sounded merciless because there was no way that the dark emperor of the dark world would allow himself to have any weaknesses. Still, if Greg were to have a weakness, it'd be the woman who ran out just now.

She's his girlfriend, huh?

Ethan thought to himself before an idea came up. Nevertheless, his facial expression remained passive.

"Greg, do I really have to kneel down?"

"Well, that depends on how much you care for Zoe. By the way, I heard that Huntington's old master got selected as part of the cabinet."

Upon hearing that, he knew that Greg had a complete hold over him.

Although Ethan's facial expression darkened, he didn't say anything but went out of the hospital and knelt. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

As Abigail's office was facing the hospital entrance, she could see everything that had happened through her window.

At that moment, she couldn't help but admire how Greg really managed to get Ethan to kneel down.

Looks like I've underestimated his capability.

Then, she shook her head and went back to her chair to nap a little.

Since Greg was here to look after everything, Ethan surely wouldn't dare to attempt anything on her.

At the same time, Greg contacted his chef to get them to send food over as soon as possible.

After dealing with that, he suddenly thought of Genevieve and felt his head starting to hurt.

I can't believe I actually yelled at her.

To Greg, it was unbelievable as everyone knew that he treated her like a goddess and would never scold her, not to mention shout at her.

However, he actually didn't want Abigail to feel like he was defending Genevieve just now.

Why would I do that?

Greg couldn't understand.

Then, he took his phone out in annoyance and contacted Genevieve, but Genevieve refused to accept his call.

It was obvious that she was still mad at him.

If this was back then, he'd call back again until she picked up, but he really wasn't feeling like sucking up to her today.

After keeping his phone, he went to the surveillance room to check what really happened. When he finally found out what Genevieve had done, he didn't feel like contacting her anymore, as he couldn't defend a guest who didn't even know how to respect the host.

Then, Greg left the surveillance room and wanted to head over to Abigail's office. Suddenly, he saw a group of army men entering the hospital and sealing it shut.
