Not One, But Two!

Chapter 235

"Thanks." Abigail nodded, suddenly losing her appetite to finish her meal. After that, she picked at her food and returned to her room. When she checked out her inbox, she saw an unread email but lacked the courage to open it. In fact, she was very close to finding out the answers to her questions, yet she struggled to summon the courage to embrace the moment of truth. Flustered and vexed, she grabbed her phone and dialed Greg's number. "Hey, are you free to talk now?"

In the meantime, Greg happened to be in the middle of a conference meeting, but when he saw Abigail's phone call, he paused the meeting. Then, he answered her question by telling he was free to talk while he glanced at the conference meeting. "Yeah, I am."

While the rest of the people in the meeting were members of the senior management, they were all surprised to hear Greg's reply. After all, they had worked day and night for the project at the cost of their leisure time, which was why they were stunned to hear Greg telling Abigail he wasn't busy. Seriously? Despite their disgruntlement, no one dared to say a word of objection about that.

Nevertheless, Abigail had no idea what was going on on the other side, thinking Greg was still resting from his injury. Thus, she went ahead to express her sorrow to him. "I have something that's bothering me deep down. Can you help me with that?"

"Sure." Greg stepped out of the room with his phone.

The next second, Benjamin came closer and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize on Mr. Buckley's behalf as he has a rather important phone call to answer."

"Benjamin, do you mind telling us who is calling?" One of them asked, feeling frustrated about the interference.

"The future Mrs. Buckley," Benjamin answered after peeking at Greg on the outside. When everyone heard his words, they finally understood why Greg had to pause the meeting to answer the call.

Meanwhile, Greg walked to the corridor and asked with a gentle voice, "What's bothering you so much? Is this about your mother?"

Since Greg was able to guess it correctly, Abigail felt even more annoyed and perturbed. "You know about it too?"

"Abigail, some problems can only be solved if you face them instead of running away. Furthermore, why are you depriving yourself of the motherly love you've desired so much?"

"What if she doesn't like me? It might not do us both any good if I enter her life."

When he heard Abigail's sad voice, Greg couldn't help but feel sympathetic for her. "You're still treating Teal, aren't you?"

Abigail was surprised by Greg as he suddenly changed the subject in the middle of their conversation. "Y-Yeah, why?"

"Let's talk more about it when you're done treating her." Abigail heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Greg say that, feeling reassured as if someone had just taken away the boulder that was on her chest.

"Perhaps you're right. I'm technically a handicap, so why am I undermining my mental welfare with my crazy and wild imagination?"

"Exactly. Rest well and worry about that only after your leg recovers. After all, she is not going anywhere." Greg's positive and encouraging tone began to rub off on Abigail, making her feel less pessimistic about her situation with her mother.
