Not One, But Two!

Chapter 194

Greg couldn't resist flicking Abigail's forehead when he saw the blank look on her face. "Do you understand?"

"Yes," Abigail answered, only to belatedly realize how submissive she sounded.

Fortunately for her, Benjamin had already pulled up outside the hospital in time to save her from flushing in embarrassment. When the partition wound down, he said quietly, "Mr. Buckley, Ma'am, we're here."

"Go find a parking space and wait for my call," Greg instructed.

"Got it."

After that, Greg got out of the car with Abigail.

They carried the things they had gotten for Amy and made their way into her hospital room. Presently, the woman was asleep.

Amy had suffered from grave injuries, and she had no objections to Abigail hiring a caretaker for her. She knew that her duty right now was to recuperate and lessen the chances of her body suffering from any post-injury side effects.

Upon registering Abigail's arrival, the caretaker made to wake Amy up. However, Abigail stopped her.

Amy didn't look like she was sleeping soundly at all. Her features were scrunched up in pain, and a sheen of cold sweat had broken out over her forehead.

The caretaker grabbed a warm towel to dab off the sweat, but Abigail took it over and said, "Here, let me."

Meanwhile, Greg didn't want to see Abigail tire herself out, but because Amy was someone she truly cared about, he let the matter drop.

Knowing that she would want to spend some time alone with Amy, he promptly said, "I'm going to go out for a smoke."

Abigail nodded.

After he left, she devoted her energy into taking care of Amy by rearranging her covers and wiping the sweat off her forehead. Amy must have sensed her presence at one point, for she slowly opened her eyes and gasped. "Dr. Kain? What are you doing here?"

She tried to sit up, but Abigail pressed her down firmly on the bed and said, "No, don't get up. Just lie down and get the rest you need. I've already called my mentor, and he told me he would fly in to personally see to your injuries."

Abigail's mentor was a first-rate medical professor who was renowned globally, but he hardly ever took on a case. Amy certainly hadn't expected Abigail to call him up and have him come over just to treat her injuries.

"I'm fine, Dr. Kain. There's no need to trouble Professor Blackwell with my case."

"I think I can tell if there's a need for him to drop by. Besides, you only got injured because of my severe oversight. I didn't protect you well enough; if anything happened to you, or if you had any long-term side effects after this, I'd never be able to forgive myself."

Abigail meant what she said. There weren't a lot of people that she cared about in her lifetime, but once she started caring for them, she would cherish and protect them at all costs. After all, she couldn't bear to see them hurt.

Amy was touched by this, and her eyes grew misty with fresh tears. However, she made no reply.
