Not One, But Two!

Chapter 53
The car sped along the highway. Greg felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat any second. Isn't this woman supposed to be all bossy and stuck up? Didn't she say that she doesn't want to have anything to do with me? So why did she block the attack for me? She had gone to Rorea for surgery, so there's no reason for her to rush back. Unless… Did she rush back to tell me that someone was trying to harm me? Greg's mind was spinning—he couldn't understand why Abigail did what she did. All he knew was that his mind was a mess because of her.
Once they got to the hospital, Greg carried her directly to the operation theater. There was already a doctor there waiting for her. Once the operation theater's doors shut, Greg stared at the red lights above the door as his heart continued racing. He had never felt so anxious before, not even when he had gotten injured. When he thought about his interaction with Abigail in the office, he felt more guilty than ever.
"We managed to find something, Mr. Buckley. Jason's from their gang," Troy hurried over and whispered in Greg's ear. Greg's gaze darkened as a hateful look flashed in his eyes. "What else did he say?" Greg asked.
"After Dr. Kain saved Old Madam Buckley when Old Madam Buckley experienced hemorrhaging again, it was also their men who had pretended to be a doctor and sneaked into the ward to drug Old Madam Buckley. If Dr. Kain hadn't managed to save her in time, perhaps Old Madam Buckley might have…" Troy didn't finish his sentence, but Greg understood what he meant. An icy look formed on Greg's face.
"Get rid of him. You know what to do with the body," Greg ordered.
"Got it." Troy left after that. Greg took a seat on the bench outside and stared at the bright light indicating that surgery was in progress. He didn't know Abigail's condition, and this made him more anxious than ever. Yet, there was nothing he could do. It seems like I misunderstood her all along.
He felt the urge to smoke a cigarette, but he couldn't do it since he was in the hospital. The surgery went on for two hours. The moment the lights went off, Greg shot up to his feet before rushing over. "How is she, doctor?"
"Dr. Kain's injury isn't that deep, and it didn't pierce through her heart. However, her gastric issue is rather serious, probably because she doesn't eat regularly. I've already treated her wounds, but it seems like she hasn't been resting well. She was really tired, so I think she might sleep for a while longer. You don't have to worry about her, Mr. Buckley." The doctor was worried that Greg might get anxious if Abigail didn't wake up soon, so the doctor hastily explained the situation.
Greg knitted his brows together. Did she not get enough rest? Yeah! She rushed to Rorea for surgery, and she probably didn't rest before coming back here. How could she have gotten enough rest? "I got it." Greg pushed Abigail over to the ICU himself.
The ward was extremely quiet, and Greg sat in front of her bed while staring at her face. Her usual arrogant look had been replaced with a weak and pale one that made Greg's heart ache. Only then did he realize that she was just a soft and gentle woman, after all!
