Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 1273
Susanna thought, 'Judging by the expression of this guy, it's quite obvious that he's very interested in Abigail.'She was so anxious that she clenched her teeth. She whispered to Margaret on the phone, "Mr. Blau has brought a man here for matchmaking."Margaret was anxious too when she heard that. "What's that old man in a hurry for? Abigail is so outstanding. Many people want to marry her. Can't he give her more time to choose slowly?"Susanna hid around the corner. She poked out half of her head to observe the situation in the living room. "Not only is the guy good-looking, but he's also very tall. And he has a great demeanor and good manners..."Margaret was disheartened as she listened. But she still tried to persuade herself and Susanna by saying, "Abigail and Xander are over. We should be happy for her if she can meet another outstanding, good man."Susanna responded, "He looks outstanding, but he isn't as outstanding as Xander."Margaret replied, "Xander isn't lucky enoug

Margaret continued saying, "If Abigail can meet someone she likes, and that person genuinely treats her well, we should wish her well."Susanna responded, "I understand what you're saying. I hope Abigail can be happy too. But I selfishly think that Xander should be the one who makes Abigail happy."Margaret replied, "One's happiness and unhappiness shouldn't be in the hands of others. Happiness should come from within."Susanna did not respond.Margaret said, "I'll hang up now. Once the doctor arrives and conducts the examination, let me know the results.""Okay." Susanna was very sad when she thought about the possibility that Abigail and Xander might never be together again. She lifted her head to look and saw Ronan was looking at Abigail. There was a mix of admiration, assessment, and a sense of determination to get Abigail in his gaze.Susanna thought, 'No. I can't let Abigail be taken away so quickly. I must find a way to stop it.'After pondering, she suddenly said loudly,

Johann was worried. "Abigail, are you still unable to move on from the man who hurt you? I know Xander is outstanding, but what does it matter if he doesn't truly care for you?"Abigail felt extremely hurt upon hearing that. She thought, 'I know that. I don't need anyone to remind me.'Ronan noticed the sadness in Abigail's eyes and quickly added, "Johann, I personally think whether two people can be together depends a lot on fate."Just because the elders want to bring us together doesn't mean we'll end up together. Although I'm approaching thirty, I'm not currently planning to start a family. I'm only here to fulfill the task given by the elders."Abigail was relieved when she heard that Ronan did not plan to get married just like her. She responded, "Mr. McKinney is right. Fate and mutual attraction are indeed very important."Abigail did not hide her emotions at all, and Ronan noticed that. However, he did not say anything.Johann stared at Ronan. "This wasn't what you said t

Johann immediately stood up and walked toward Abigail. He could now see Abigail more clearly because he was closer to her.Abigail's neck, which was not covered by her shirt, was almost completely red. 'There are probably more rashes hidden under her clothes,' Johann thought before asking, "Why is your allergy so severe?"Ronan said, "My driver is still downstairs. Why don't I take Abigail to the hospital?"Abigail responded, "Grandpa, Mr. McKinney, don't worry. I have allergy medication that Dr. Watson left for me here. I'll be fine after taking it."Susanna heard the noise and immediately ran over. When she saw the rashes on Abigail's neck, she slapped herself in regret. "Abigail, I was so forgetful. I completely forgot about your nut allergy."Abigail replied, "I'm fine. Please don't blame yourself. Quickly go to my bedside table and get me the medication that Dr. Watson left for me."Susanna responded, "Okay, I'll go right now."Johann was furious. "She knew about your nut a

Johann did not understand well what was going on. He was anxious. "If you want to check, check quickly, and don't delay. Abigail's condition doesn't look good.""Grandpa, don't worry. This is an old issue. I'll be fine once I take the medicine later," Abigail reassured Johann with a smile before entering the room.In the past, during her most severe allergic episode, she had almost suffocated. And now she downplayed the severity of her condition to put Johann at ease.Abigail and the others walked into the room, leaving only Johann in the living room.Ronan did not actually leave. He walked back into the apartment and said, "Johann, I'll stay with you for a while to make sure Abigail is fine before I leave."Johann disdainfully looked at Ronan. "You useless brat! Before you came, you told me to trust you. You said you'd do your best to make Abigail like you. But now, you can't even speak the truth about wanting to be in a relationship with her. How can I trust you in the future?"

Ronan smiled as he said, "If I don't consider a lot, how can I be your grandson-in-law?"Johann waved his hand. "Go outside then."Right after Ronan left, Abigail's room door opened.Johann hastily went over to Abigail. In the time that had passed, not only did Abigail's condition not improve, but it actually worsened.Her face was covered in red patches. It was heartbreaking to see.Johann was extremely worried. "Abigail, didn't the doctor give you any medication? Why did your condition worsen?"Edith said, "Due to Abigail's condition, she can't take medication right now. Let's accompany her while she endures it. She'll be fine soon."Just now, Edith conducted a pregnancy test for Abigail using a pregnancy test kit. It showed two red lines, indicating a positive result. This basically confirmed that Abigail was indeed pregnant.The medication left by Kane contained steroids that pregnant women should not take. Edith was not very knowledgeable about allergies. So, she thought i

Not only did Edith fail to realize her mistake, but she also felt deeply wronged. "The child that Abigail is pregnant with is the Zane family's child. So, the child is surely the most important. I did it to preserve your family's bloodline. I had no personal interests."Margaret was furious when she heard that. "Edith Hoggan, as a doctor, do you have any idea what you're talking about?"Edith disappointedly stopped talking when she saw Margaret was truly angry.Margaret continued saying seriously, "First of all, I want to make it clear to you that nothing's more important than Abigail's life. If this child is lost, Abigail can have another one in the future. But Abigail only has one life. If something happens to Abigail because of me, I won't be able to face her grandmother when I die."Edith remained silent.Margaret continued to say, "You're a doctor. Don't you have any medical ethics? Don't you understand that saving a life is the top priority? Didn't you know that if Abigail w

Susanna asked, "How are you planning to explain this to Mr. Blau?"Margaret said, "You two are my employees. When my employees make a mistake, it's only right for me to take responsibility."Susanna felt especially guilty. "I'll go and apologize to him."Margaret responded, "You? Do you think you can handle this matter?"The Blau family was highly respected. And Johann was known for sticking to his words.Margaret thought, 'His granddaughter had almost lost her life because of our actions. He'll surely not let it go if I don't give him a satisfactory explanation.'She fixed her clothes and went back to Johann. "Johann, it was my employees' fault today. I apologize..."Johann raised his hand to stop her. "You don't need to apologize. Take your people and leave. Also, give me your word that no one from your family will ever appear in front of Abigail again from now on."Margaret responded, "I consider Abigail as my own granddaughter. I can't just stay away from her. Moreover, she

Emma turned and dashed into the bathroom. She cranked the faucet on and splashed water on her face, aiming to soothe her nerves.Although they were engaged, they were still too young, with countless uncertainties looming over their future. The possibility of actually walking down the aisle was up in the air.Decisions made in a rush of happiness could eventually become sources of regret. And Emma knew all too well that she couldn't afford any regrets.She thought that fortunately, Ron hadn't pushed things further, which gave her time to cool off.After freshening up, Emma stepped out to find Ron on the balcony, a cigarette in hand.She couldn't resist chiding him, "I've told you to cut down on smoking. Why can't you seem to remember?"This time, Ron complied, snuffing out the cigarette. "We should get some sleep. We've got to put our best foot forward when we meet your family tomorrow.""Okay, I'll sleep on the couch. You take the bed," Emma responded.Ron simply replied, "As y

Ron looked at her dawdling pace with disdain. "If you, a lady, can handle it, why can't I, a grown man, stay?"His words sounded noble, but Ron regretted them the moment they arrived at the hotel.Despite now earning a decent income, Emma was still reluctant to spend money.This place was hardly a hotel; it was clearly a budget inn charging only a few dozen bucks a night. The hygiene was questionable at best, and safety seemed like a gamble.Ron turned on his heel, dragging her suitcase behind him. "We're leaving, now.""It's too late, and we can't get a refund for the room.""Are you trying to get us killed?"Emma fell silent, her thoughts a whirlwind of frustration. 'I told him he wouldn't be used to cheap places. He insisted on coming with me, and now he won't even let me stay here alone. Why is he so annoying?'However, considering Ron had rushed over in the middle of the night to help her, Emma decided not to hold it against him.Ron picked the best hotel in the area—the

Rebekah glanced over at Ron; she exchanged a knowing look with him before saying, "I'll have someone tidy up the rooms. Why don't you two stay here tonight and keep me company?"Ron replied simply, "Sure."Emma had purchased a midnight flight back to South Florivera, necessitating a rush to the airport, which made staying over after dinner impossible.Yet, she found herself at a loss for words, struggling to decline Rebekah's kind offer.As she hesitated, Ron stepped in to clear the air. "Mom, I've got something on tonight. After dinner, I'll drive Emma back to her dorm."Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "What's so important?" she wondered aloud, thinking, 'Wasn't he the one insisting Emma stay over? What's he up to now?'Ron kept it mysterious. "Life stuff."Rebekah could not help but chide him lightly, "You, always the joker."Right after dinner, Ron insisted on leaving to take Emma back to her dormitory. But as soon as they were out of the gated community, he asked, "So, you reall

Ron chuckled. "I didn't know you were aware that even a cornered rat will fight."Emma shot him a glare. "Are we going or not?"Ron quickly said, "Of course. When Miss Blue commands, how can I dare not obey?"Fearing another of his notorious driving escapades, Emma hastily buckled her seatbelt as she settled into the car.Thankfully, this time Ron kept it smooth, driving steadily.As they neared their destination, Ron finally spoke up, "You know, that Tucker guy is a married man. Don't let his kindness fool you into being the other woman."Emma's gaze on Ron was fiery, seething with anger. "Do you even hear yourself? Is that what you think of me? For the last time: Tucker and I share nothing more than a mentor-mentee relationship. There's nothing else between us.""I'm just looking out for you, worried you might get deceived," Ron said, witnessing Emma's fury for the first time. Yet, he could not help but find her anger not at all intimidating, but rather endearingly foolish.R

The two sisters had a pact: no cell phones at home to keep their secrets from the prying eyes of the Blue family. Thus, Emma could call only at prearranged times, the sole window for Rihanna to catch up.Rihanna's voice bubbled with excitement over the phone, as she chattered away about her life's minutiae.Knowing Rihanna was doing well eased Emma's mind.Just as Emma was about to end the call, she heard Rihanna's voice, soft and wistful. "You're really not coming home for the holidays? If you don't, I'll be all alone."Emma's heart clenched at those words, and she made up her mind in an instant. "I'll come back the day before New Year's Eve."The Blue family had their hands full with festivities that day, too busy to notice Rihanna's absence. Emma figured slipping back unnoticed then would be her best shot.After hanging up, Emma immediately booked a flight from Valtara to South Florivera. With her ticket secured and her last bit of work finished, Emma prepared to leave her off

Emma had no interest in romance, let alone the audacity to dream that Ron might fancy her.This time, she did not pick up the thread of conversation.After dinner, Ron, as usual, drove Emma back to the university.Before parting, Ron said, "Winter break is almost upon us, and the dorms might be off-limits. Are you sure you don't want to stay at my place for a couple of months?"Emma offered a smile in response. "Thanks for the offer. I've spoken with the dorm supervisor and submitted an application in advance. I'll be able to stay over the holiday period."Ron paused before saying, "Well, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll text you my number in a bit; make sure you save it."Emma nodded. "Sure."Without further ado, Ron drove off.Upon returning to her dorm, Emma saw Evelyn and Cassie, busy packing their bags, surrounded by gifts for their parents bought from Valtara.Evelyn asked Emma, "Are you really not going home for the winter break?"Emma replied, "No, I won't

Emma did not have the guts to risk failure because she did not have a safe haven to fall back on.Lucas kicked Ron in the shin. "Come on, if you fancy her, out with it. No Hagrid heir dithers like this."Ron glared at him. "Mind your own business." In his head, Emma was already his. The thought of losing her was unimaginable.Lucas said, "Without my meddling, she'd never be yours."Ron changed the subject. "I called you here for a serious discussion."Lucas replied, "No matter how serious, it can't outweigh the matter of your lifetime happiness."Ron was exasperated. "Lucas!"Lucas relented. "Alright, alright, you talk, I'm all ears."Ron spelled out Emma's music venture with Tucker. After hearing it all, Lucas could not help but see Emma in a new light."Never pegged Emma as such a dark horse," Lucas said.Silently listening to their conversation, Emma was thrilled to have her work recognized.Lucas said, "But, getting back to it, whether a song makes money, and how much, d

Ron barked, "Lucas!"With a chuckle, Lucas responded, "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing Emma. I'm starving. Let's grab some food and talk business while we eat."Ron snapped, "Get lost!"Lucas could not help but revel in Ron's frustration. "Ron, have you fallen so quickly? Who was it that told me they would never accept an arranged marriage?"Emma was increasingly confused by their banter. "If it's inconvenient for me to be here, I can just take a cab and leave."Ron said, "Call you dumb and you won't admit it!"Emma thought to herself, 'I didn't want to be a third wheel, cramping their style. Was that really so wrong? No good deed goes unpunished, apparently.'Suddenly, Ron grabbed Emma's hand and led her inside. "It's cold out; let's go inside."Emma had to quicken her pace, practically being dragged along.Seeing them together, Lucas laughed heartily from behind. "Ron, oh Ron, never thought I'd see the day.""Don't laugh too soon. Your day is coming," Ron shot back.Th

Emma said, "Okay."Ron asked, "Have you won over your crush?"Lucas responded, "Secret."Ron replied, "Looks like you haven't won her over."Lucas said, "As long as I make a move, there's no girl I can't win over. But I haven't made a move yet because the timing isn't right."Ron asked, "Is it because of the Sandow family?"Lucas answered, "The Sandow family wants to marry their daughter to me, and my family wants me to marry her too. But I've told them long ago that I'm not willing to do that. Nobody can make me marry a girl I don't like."Emma remained silent. 'I didn't expect that Lucas would also have the same problem as me and Ron.'It seems like the wealthier the family, the more they'll arrange marriages based on social status without considering personal preferences.'Lucas seemed to sense Emma's thoughts. "Emma, my situation with the Sandow girl is different from yours and Ron's. Don't lump us together."Ron looked at Emma and suddenly said, "There isn't any other gi
