Not One, But Two!

Chapter 51

Since Greg couldn't contact Abigail, he decided to hurry over to the air stewardess' staff quarters. When he saw Arianna, her tiny figure was curled up in a corner as she played with her phone. He felt his heart aching for the young child. "Mr. Buckley?" The air stewardess was shocked to see Greg there, and she was about to greet him when Greg walked past her to carry Arianna into his arms.

"Daddy will bring you home now, Arianna," he uttered. Arianna lifted her head when she smelled a familiar scent in the air. The young girl beamed as she wrapped her arms around Greg's neck. "You're here, Daddy!"

"Yeah. Let's go home," he uttered. He felt like his insides were about to melt when he heard Arianna's soft voice and saw her tiny hands. After carrying her out of the office, he brought Arianna back to the car. "Have you had dinner?" he asked.

"Not yet," Arianna uttered before sticking her tongue out. "Oh no, Mommy didn't eat dinner either. I don't think she has the time for it." Greg couldn't help but feel angry when he saw how much Arianna still cared about Abigail. However, he tried his best to control himself in front of his daughter. "What do you feel like eating? I'll bring you there," Greg uttered.

"Anything's fine." Arianna scrunched up her face—she was clearly worried about Abigail. Greg couldn't stand seeing his daughter that way, so he let out a sigh. "I'll remind her to have her dinner in a while."

"Thanks, Daddy. But I don't think Mommy has the time to eat as she's rushing over to conduct a surgery," Arianna said. The young girl knew that Hugh's injuries had to be serious since Alissa had phoned Abigail. Abigail would have to save Hugh before anything else.

Greg was rather puzzled when he heard Arianna's words. "Has your mother always worked so hard?" he asked curiously.

"Yeah. Mommy has always been working really hard because she wants to let us grow up in a good environment. I wish I were older so that I could help Mommy a little." Arianna's words made Greg's chest hurt even more.

"I'll be around from now on, and I'll make sure you live the best life ever." he uttered.

"Does that include Mommy too?" Arianna gazed at him hopefully. Greg didn't know how to feel about it.Abigail and I? I don't think so,he thought. "Let's go eat something for now." He quickly changed the topic.

Arianna was a sensitive child—she wasn't as loud and straightforward as Alissa was. Arianna could sense that both her parents were avoiding the issue of being together with one another.Is it really impossible for them to get back together?Arianna felt rather dejected.

Greg didn't know how to comfort his daughter when he saw the look in her eyes, so he simply focused on driving them to Swanson Hut. "Let's go get something to eat, okay, Arianna?" The young girl nodded when she saw how badly Greg was trying to please her. She felt the need to conceal the sadness in her.

when she heard about Hugh's serious injuries. Alissa, on the other hand, was drowning in her tears as she sat by one side. "Hand it over to me," Abigail uttered as she patted the doctor's back. "You can send Alissa out and prepare a warm bath for her. Make sure she eats something. You guys can start a fire and cook me something too. I'll eat after I'm done with the surgery,"
