Chapter 32

Greg had been observing Abigail, and he chimed in when he noticed the slight change in her gaze, "Let me know if you need anything, and I'll do my best to help you out."

Abigail was slightly stunned. Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?

Still, she didn't comment on anything before she said to Alissa, "Darling, I'll be heading out for a bit."

"Alright. Drive safe, Mommy."

Alissa didn't bother asking Abigail where she was going and had only asked her to drive safe, but Abigail's expression surprisingly lifted. Yet, Greg frowned slightly.

"Where are you going so late at night? Aren't you worried about leaving your child alone at the hospital?"

"Well, you can keep her company if you're free, and I can just get a nurse if you aren't, right?"

Although Abigail's attitude really pissed him off, he tried his best to suppress his anger.

"You probably don't have any surgery appointments at night, do you? Where are you really going?"

Abigail couldn't help but feel annoyed by Greg.

"First things first, Mr. Buckley—I am not your wife, and I'm not obliged to report where I'm going. Secondly, I've already informed my daughter that I'm going out." With that, she left the ward.

Greg's gaze darkened whereas Alissa sighed and said, "Daddy, you don't even know how to protect Mommy."

"Huh?" Greg was confused. Did my daughter just look down on me?

"I'll go out and take a look."

"Daddy, you must protect Mommy, alright? Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

Alissa is so considerate that she's even trying to create opportunities for the two of us. Greg sighed in his heart.

When he left the ward, he saw Abigail heading toward Valerie's room. Thank goodness this woman still has some conscience to check on her patients, Greg thought to himself before following her footsteps.

Meanwhile, Valerie was already awake when Abigail entered her ward, and her eyes immediately brightened at the sight of the beautiful doctor.

When the nurse saw Abigail, she greeted her before updating the woman about Valerie's condition. "You're finally here, Dr. Kain. Old Madam Buckley's has been stable. I initially wanted to get you to check up on her, but the hospital director sent someone else to follow up on Old Madam Buckley and said that everything was alright already."

When Valerie noticed that the beautiful doctor was Abigail, she quickly held the woman's hand before asking excitedly, "Are you Dr. Kain, the best surgeon in the world?"
