Not One, But Two!

Chapter 6

It was William Cooper, the governor.

Abigail was about to explode when she learned that Alissa had beaten the governor's son, but Alissa's aggrieved appearance just now made Abigail's heart soften.

Now that the governor was calling, she would just endure it even if he asked her to pay for the medical bills or wanted to scold her again in frustration.

As she thought of this, Abigail slid the answer button on the phone.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Cooper. I've already scolded Alissa, and I'll take her to see your son in person soon. Also, I'll pay for the medical expenses."

Abigail was acting like a crazy woman just moments ago, but now she was indifferent and calm as if she had changed.

Upon hearing Abigail's words, William quickly said, "Dr. Kain, I didn't call you over the children's little skirmish; I just wanted to ask if you are available tomorrow? Can you spare me some time for a surgery?"

Abigail was slightly taken aback.

Didn't he call to reprimand Abigail about her daughter?

She was sensitive to the change in William's pleading tone, so she said, "Go ahead and tell me, Mr. Cooper."

Her daughter had beaten his son so badly that the boy had to be sent to the hospital, and he apparently had three broken ribs. As a mother, she had to clean up after her daughter no matter what.

When he heard Abigail say this, William quickly replied, "Dr. Kain, a friend of mine's mother is seriously ill and needs surgery, but it seems like her condition is rather complicated. Could you give me some face and help me out? I know that your patients are all scheduled until the month after the next, but my friend's mother can't wait any longer."

Abigail rubbed her temples slightly.

William was right—her surgery schedule was indeed full. Had he asked earlier, she would've refused him without hesitation. After all, she did not want her medical skills to become a means for politicians to use each other, but she couldn't very well refuse after her precious daughter had beaten up his son. In fact, that poor child had to be bedridden for at least a month.

"Okay, I'll try my best to arrange things around. I'm only helping you out this time, Mr. Cooper. There will be no next time."
