Not One, But Two!

Chapter 61

Abigail couldn't contain her tears any longer. "You don't have to comfort me. It's all my fault. I always knew about Hugh's unique identity, but I was the one who didn't stop it in time. I admit that I was selfish as I've always felt more relaxed leaving Alissa with Hugh. That way, I'd be able to focus on my surgeries, and I wouldn't have to worry about her causing any troubles out there. However, I never thought about the consequences of a child following Hugh all the time. As a mom, I failed to consider all these things. I was too—"

"That's enough. Stop talking about it since it's over. Fortunately, Alissa is fine now. I'll never let anyone hurt you girls ever again." He pulled her close for a hug. How could he not feel bad when he knew how terrible Abigail felt?

However, since things had already turned out the way they did, there was no point in assigning blame. Abigail rested in Greg's arms and inhaled his scent as she tried her best to calm herself down. Her shoulders were still trembling. She wasn't one who cried often. Ever since the incident that happened five years ago, she knew that crying wouldn't change a thing. Since then, she had told herself that she had to be strong. Yet, she realized that she wasn't all that strong after all.

She also needed someone to rely on, and she needed someone to care for her. Although she knew that things weren't going to work out between her and Greg, she was still greedy for his love and care right then.

Greg felt his heart aching even more when he saw how much she was trying to control her tears. "You should get some rest. I'll take care of Alissa, so you don't have to worry. If anything happens to her, I'll tell you immediately. Just listen to me for once, okay? What's going to happen to Arianna if you collapse now?" Abigail had already been awake for 36 hours by then, and Greg was afraid that her body would not be able to handle it.

Abigail nodded. She trusted Greg because of his love for the children. She stumbled out of Alissa's room and prepared a mattress for herself before lying on it and falling asleep. Greg quickly went over to put a blanket over her after he saw how tired she was. Although Alissa's condition was stable, she had yet to wake up. When Greg thought about the first time that he saw Alissa, he felt his heart ache.

Meanwhile, Zachary had already been treated, and Greg's men were keeping an eye on him. They were going to make sure that he suffered. However, when Greg thought about Abigail's skills and the look in her eye earlier that day, he decided to get Troy to investigate Abigail's past. Greg wanted to know more about her lifestyle and environment during her five years spent overseas.

Abigail didn't sleep very well. She had a few dreams of a bloody Alissa standing in front of her while wailing and sobbing. "Mommy, why did you let me follow Papa to Rorea?" Abigail could only sob without saying anything.

Greg noticed that Abigail seemed to be having a bad dream in her sleep, so he stepped forward to hold her hand. Abigail felt a warm feeling spreading through her body, and she felt more secure after that. She didn't know how long she had slept, but the next time she woke up, she found Greg leaning against the bed beside her. Alissa was still fast asleep.

"Are you awake? Do you want something to eat?" Greg asked immediately. Abigail shook her head before looking at the time. She had only slept for two hours. "You should sleep for a while more. You didn't sleep too well just now."
