Chapter 227

However, Greg had nothing left in him to even chide Benjamin this time, out cold the next second.

"Mr. Buckley! Talk to me, Mr. Buckley!" Benjamin's face paled in horror.

No, Mr. Buckley can't pass out right after Abigail leaves!

With that, he dashed out of the OR but only found Valerie.

"Old Madam Buckley, where's Ma'am?"

"She's gone. She said Greg's okay now, and she had the nurse keep an eye on the IV drip. He can move to the ward after that. Why? What's wrong?"

Valerie thought Abigail was spent when she came out of the OR with a blanched face, so Valerie didn't stop her when she said she wanted to leave.

She had planned to free up a room here for Abigail, but Abigail turned her down.

Then, she wanted to offer to look after the twins, remembering Abigail was raising them. However, what happened previously made her feel so ashamed that it prevented her from doing so.

But of course, Benjamin wouldn't know Valerie's state of mind, hurriedly explaining, "Mr. Buckley has passed out."

"Dr. Kain said it'll happen. He lost a lot of blood and will have to recuperate. No need to freak out."

It was only then Benjamin calmed down.

Recalling how ruthless Abigail was to Greg, Benjamin made a mental note to never cross Abigail, no matter what.

Greg was drenched in so much sweat that it looked like he had just been fished out of the waters when he was being pushed to the ward.

"What happened? Why is he covered in so much sweat?" asked Valerie, reeled.

How dare Benjamin let Valerie know Abigail had operated on Greg without any anesthesia? And thus, he lied, "Detox, maybe?"

At that, Valerie frowned at Benjamin, thinking he was great in every way, just that he could be a little half-witted sometimes.

Benjamin, on the other hand, felt super uneasy. As if I have it any easier?! What can a measly assistant like me do when I can't afford to piss any one of you off?!

Valerie didn't expect to get an answer from Benjamin anyway, so she immediately turned her focus to Greg, asking someone to wipe and clean Greg's body before putting him in clean clothes.

On the other hand, Abigail had reached her threshold after leaving the mansion, and she thought her entire leg was close to falling when she finally got into the car. The excruciating pain had her gnashing her teeth so hard that they might crack.

After popping two painkillers, she pulled her phone out and called Addison.

"Where are you? Come and pick me up."

Just now, she had practically pushed herself to operate on Greg.
