Not One, But Two!

Chapter 132

Splash! Abigail was woken up by a pail of icy cold water. Although the icy cold temperature instantly woke her up, her mind felt a sharp pain.

F*ck! Someone drugged me with chloroform!

As soon as the thought came into her mind, Abigail instantly squinted her eyes. Then, she looked around with a sharp gaze, only to find that she had been tied up. There was a person sitting in front of her, and that person was Quinn.

Upon seeing Quinn, Abigail immediately comprehended the situation. "Mr. Milburn, don't you know you're committing a crime here?"

At this moment, Abigail felt that her arms and legs were sore and painful. Her head was also aching terribly. No doubt, these were the after-effects of chloroform.

Yet, Quinn did not seem to care at all. He looked at Abigail and sneered, "I'd begged you before, but you didn't agree. You want money? I have money. If 5 million isn't enough, I can give you 8 million, or even 10 million. Any figure is fine as long as you agreed to perform the surgery for my wife. Once the surgery is successful, I shall owe you a favor, and in the future, I will be obliged to do whatever you request of me. But why won't you agree?"

As Abigail looked at the persistence and bigotry in Quinn's eyes, she could not help feeling a little frustrated.

"I've told you before: Your wife is currently not fit to undergo a surgery. Besides, there's also no need for her to undergo any surgery. Her body can't withstand the risk and stimulation of a surgery at all."

"I don't care! Everyone says you're the best surgeon in the world, and there's no surgery that you can't perform. The reason for you to refuse performing a surgery for my wife isn't because her body is unfit like you said, but because you're unwilling to perform it. Am I right? You want to spend time with your lover, and you're afraid that my wife's surgery will interrupt your dates. Isn't that right?" All of a sudden, Quinn burst into anger, and he abruptly kicked the stool in front of him.

"Abigail, you're a doctor! Isn't it your duty to save lives? How can you disregard my wife's life for the sake of your personal relationship? How can you?"

Despite confronting Quinn's raging state, Abigail simply frowned.

"Is there something wrong with your head? What does being in a relationship have to do with me saving lives? I'm still going to say the same thing—I can't perform the surgery for your wife. If we give her conservative treatment now, she can still live up to around six months. But once you insist on proceeding with the surgery, she'll instantly die on the surgical bed. I've told you these before, and Professor Palmer should know too. Could it be that you don't believe his words?"

However, instead of subsiding Quinn's anger, Abigail's words angered him even further.

"You still dare mention Professor Palmer? He's the one who told me that others may not be able to do anything about my wife's illness, but you can definitely cure my wife. Dr. Kain, I'm begging you, please! Ever since my wife got married to me, she has never been blessed with a good life. She accompanied me to endure hardships and was with me when I started my business. Finally, I'm rich now, and I want to give her a good life. Yet, she was diagnosed with such an illness. So please, I'm begging you to save her. As long as I can cure her, I don't care if I'll lose all the money I have. I'm begging you, please?"

In an instant, Quinn kneeled down in front of Abigail. Without caring if Abigail would agree to help him or not, Quinn kept kowtowing to Abigail. Tears glimpsed in his eyes, making people distressed.

All of a sudden, Abigail felt bad.

I am a doctor. As long as I can save the person, I'll definitely do it. I'll still do it even if the other party is penniless. But, Mrs. Milburn truly can't undergo surgery. If I perform a surgery for her, that means I'm sending her to her deathbed in advance. As a doctor, I'm very sure of my judgement.

At the same time, Abigail was puzzled. I didn't offend Professor Palmer, so why did he misguide Mr. Milburn in such a way? Could it be for the sake of medical research fundings? But disregarding one's life because of this? Is that something a professor, and a doctor, should do?

Abigail looked at Quinn, who kept kowtowing to her. Then, she said in a sad voice, "Mr. Milburn, I am a doctor, not a deity. I can't treat every patient. I am very moved by the affections between you and your wife, but I'm still going to stick with my words. Just accompany her. I really can't perform this surgery."

Quinn's kowtow suddenly stopped.

As he slowly raised his head, Quinn's teary eyes suddenly turned malevolent. It even carried a trace of madness and bigotry. "Abigail, you were given a choice to do it the easy way or the hard way. It looks like you're choosing the hard way, huh?"

Currently, Quinn looked like an evil spirit. His eyes were staring at Abigail. It was as if as long as Abigail answered 'yes', he would charge toward her and tear her into pieces.

Abigail slightly frowned. She had met such family members of her patients before, but she had never seen any with such persistence and madness. Mostly, they would just reprimand her for being heartless.

Abigail knew that the deeper Quinn's feelings had for his wife, the more danger she might be in. I need to figure out a way to save myself.
