Chapter 56

"Why didn't you tell the doctor if you were finding it hard to breathe?" Greg furrowed his eyebrows. Abigail hastily stepped in after hearing Greg's words. "It's fine. It's normal for elderlies to find it a little harder to breathe, and I was just asking as part of the protocol. Relax," she said.

Valerie beamed after hearing Abigail's words. "You scared me. I did feel some shortness of breath in the past few days, but I trust the doctors here as they have all been handpicked to work here."

"Yeah. It's fine." Abigail stood up and looked around before she picked up a vase of violets. "These violets look so good. Why don't you give this to me as a gift, Old Madam Buckley?" she asked with a smile.

"You can take it if you like it, Dr. Kain. Those aren't mine—someone else gave them to me. I just left it at the window because I thought it looked nice."

"Would it be rude to take this away from you, then?" Abigail asked.

"No, of course not. If you like it that much, I'll get someone to buy a few more vases for you, Dr. Kain," Valerie replied.

"Thank you so much, then." Abigail put on a shy and polite expression, but Greg was experienced enough to see through her façade. "What other flowers do you like? Why don't I buy some for you?" he asked. Valerie beamed upon hearing his words. "Yeah, yeah. What other flowers do you like? You can get this brat to buy some for you. You can just give him orders to purchase whatever you like."

"That'd be asking too much from him," Abigail replied with a smile. Valerie was pleased that Abigail hadn't directly rejected her. She's not pretentious, and she's straightforward with whatever she wants. I like that.

"You don't have to worry about that," Valerie replied.

"I'll leave with this gift then, Old Madam Buckley. By the way, you don't have to stay in the room all the time. You seem a lot better now, so I think you can head home soon. Arianna is probably lonely since she's home alone," Abigail suggested.

"Can I do that?" Valerie's eyes lit up immediately.

"Arrangements will have to be made before you get discharged, Mom," Greg uttered.

"What's there to be arranged? You can just tell someone to pay the bill. I want to go home to see my granddaughter. What does Arianna like, Dr. Kain? As her grandmother, I'd like to give her a gift," Valerie said.

"She likes electronic devices," Abigail replied. She didn't further explain anything as she didn't want to scare Valerie by telling her that Arianna was a hacker.
