Not One, But Two!

Chapter 49

Greg didn't care what Abigail thought—he immediately straightened his back and put his clothes on before stepping on the gas and speeding off. Abigail was so shocked that she had to grab onto the handle. Is there something wrong with this man? His mood swings are crazy! Abigail cursed in her heart. When she turned to see her daughter sleeping soundly, she shut her eyes and got some rest. She was tired because of the long day, so she fell asleep without realizing it.

When Greg heard the even, heavy breaths coming from beside him, he was surprised for a moment. Then, he put a jacket over her, feeling a mixture of amusement and annoyance as he did so. He drove a little slower after that. There was soft music playing in the car, and a warm atmosphere filled the air all of a sudden.

Only then did Greg feel a burning pain spreading all across his back. He drove the car back to Allie's Garden before he carried both the girls into the house. Abigail must have been too tired, for she didn't even wake up when Greg carried her. Arianna fell into a deep sleep beside her mother while Greg ordered the housekeeper to prepare some food. Then, he got some maids to set up the air-purifying devices all over the house. He didn't forget about Arianna's asthma condition.

After he was done with everything, he received a call from the hospital telling him that Valerie's condition had stabilized. He decided to drop by for a visit. When Valerie saw Greg there, she instinctively gazed over Greg's shoulder. "What are you looking for, Mom?" he asked puzzledly.

"Where's Dr. Kain? Where's my granddaughter?" Valerie asked in a disappointed tone. Greg froze for a moment. "Do you like Abigail, Mom?"

"Of course. She was the one who saved my life, and she was the one who gave birth to my granddaughter. She has to be a part of the Buckley Family."

When Greg heard what Valerie said, he froze for a moment as he knitted his brows together thoughtfully. "Mom, you know that I like—"

"I don't care who you like. That woman doesn't care about you at all. How many times do you want me to tell you that? Furthermore, our families are too different, so you don't stand a chance with her. I'm telling you—I want Dr. Kain as my daughter-in-law. If you lose her, I'm never going to let you hear the end of it." Valerie got mad out of nowhere.

Greg eyed his mother speechlessly. "Can you not meddle with my marriage, Mom?"

"I'd be fine if you didn't have a child; I wouldn't care who you got married to in that case. But now, I can't bear the thought of my granddaughter having a stepmother. Also, I'm leaving the hospital in a few days, so I expect to see my precious granddaughter then," she uttered.

"That's not going to happen. When did you get your surgery done? It's only been a few days—do you want to get discharged already? No way! You can do anything you want, but you have to obey me on this. Otherwise, I'll tell Abigail to come over and deal with you." Valerie was pleased to hear what Greg said. "Sure. If you can convince my daughter-in-law to come over, I'd be glad to see her."
