Not One, But Two!

Chapter 54

It was rare for Greg to ever feel sorry for anyone. Being someone of his status and identity, over the years, he had developed a heart of ice that refused to melt. He wouldn't even blink when most women cried, but the determined look on Abigail's face actually made his solid and icy heart melt a little.

Meanwhile, Abigail could sense someone staring at her while she was sleeping. She felt rather uncomfortable, so she instinctively turned to face her back against Greg. She didn't realize that her gown had a slit on the back, so she revealed her fair, pale back to Greg. Greg's Adam's apple bobbed as he felt the temperature in the room getting higher.

After taking a deep breath, he pulled the sheets over Abigail. He thought about leaving, but he didn't do it in the end. Abigail had a good sleep—she didn't have a surgery to rush to or children to care for, and she could sleep for a whole week. However, her phone began to ring right then. Rage filled her instantly—she was frustrated at the noise.

Greg hadn't wanted to pick Abigail's phone up, but the ringing kept going. He was worried that it would disturb Abigail, so he brought the phone out. "Hello? Who's this?" He picked the call up.

Hugh froze as he thought he had gotten the wrong number. But when he checked, he was certain that it was correct. "Where's Abbie?" Hugh spoke in a hostile, unfriendly tone. For some reason, Greg felt rather uneasy to hear someone addressing her so intimately. "She's resting. You can tell me what you want to say, and I'll pass the message," Greg offered.

"No thanks. I don't need an outsider to pass messages for us." Hugh ended the call right after that. Greg felt a heavy feeling in his chest. An outsider? Am I an outsider? I already had a kid with Abigail. How could I still be an outsider? Who is this man? Greg recalled the man, Hugh, whom he had fought with. Could it be him? Greg felt more frustrated than ever.

After returning to the ward and seeing that Abigail was asleep, Greg thought about the phone call once more before he walked over to Abigail. He had decided to just drag her out of bed. However, as he touched her shoulder, he heard Abigail grunting as she frowned.

He froze for a moment before glancing at her injury. She pressed on her own injury while sleeping! Is she a pig? Greg was rather annoyed, so he woke her up roughly. Abigail had already woken up a little after hearing the phone ring, and she could already feel her wound stinging. Now, she was even woken up in a rough manner, so she lost her temper.

"Can you stop it, Hugh?" She flung her hand across the room to give Greg a smack. His gaze darkened immediately. What did she call me? Hugh? Did I just take a slap for Hugh? Greg wore a look of displeasure as a threatening aura filled the room. Even the air around them seemed to have turned 10 degrees colder.

"Abigail!" Greg cried.

"Shut up!" she replied.
