"Mr. Hagrid, Mr. Zane, you should have some very important stuff to discuss. We won't be disturbing you." Just thinking about soaking in a hot spring with Xander made Abigail uneasy. Especially after she saw his brilliant naked physique.That man was lying nonchalantly at the edge of the pool. His arms were spread open, showing his firm and beautiful muscle definitions. It was as if seeing a high and mighty king embracing his kingdom. It also looked slightly like he was opening his arms to welcome his beloved...Abigail merely took an accidental glance, and those nice-looking muscle contours were etched into her mind and continued to linger. She wondered deep down in silence, 'Under such laborious work conditions, how much discipline does it require to train and possess such beautiful muscles?'"We don't have anything important to discuss. "Xander was the one who said those words. He raised his gaze slightly and looked at Abigail. He saw her being wrapped in a bathrobe while standin
Ron suddenly said with a serious expression, "I've been preparing for a pregnancy recently. We might have already conceived a child, so many other matters should be easier to handle now."Xander asked curiously, "Child?"Though, he had not thought of such a long-term affair yet and did not expect to have kids of his own. In the past, he did not want one because his parents had left too large a trauma for him. He did not want them to be the same as him, born yet not raised by them. However, he thought it would be acceptable if it was with Abigail.Ron then said, "You can use children to tie her down."Xander rebutted, "Firstly, she's an independent person. Besides that, she's also my wife, not an item. I'll respect her and love her. I would never force her to do something she didn't want to do.""Mhm, I hope you can walk the talk and not let it hit you in the face in the future." Ron immediately turned around. "Emma, come with me for a moment. I have something to say to you."Just
Abigail was stunned for a moment. After a long while, she managed to digest the words that he had said and asked, "Why did you do this?""To find a reason to make you have a conversation with me," was what he would have said. But he definitely would not have told Abigail about the actual situation, so Xander coughed lightly once and said, "To test your response toward an emergency."To test her response toward an emergency, which means if she did not find the breach, she would have probably been fired by him. She had been by his side for these few months, and Abigail considered herself to have performed every task wholeheartedly. Yet her ability was yet to be approved by him. This perception of him made Abigail slightly upset. She lowered her gaze and replied with an "Oh."Xander did not notice her abnormal behavior. He raised his hands to put the tablet back before asking, "What do you want to eat tonight?"Abigail did not want to bottle herself up and did not want to always be wo
Besides death, it seemed no place in this world could accommodate her."Young madam, did your period arrive?" When the masseuse helped Emma massage her waist, she noticed the white bedsheets below her were already dyed red from her blood. The masseuse's first reaction was that Emma's period had come, but with a closer look, she felt that it was odd. Periods usually did not bleed non-stop."It's not my period coming. The blood coming out of my body is probably from Ron's child." Even when saying such brutal words, Emma's voice was still gentle, without the slightest mood change."Emma, you..." Abigail jumped out of bed. Her heart almost stopped beating when she saw the bloodstains on the bedsheets. Similar scenes flashed non-stop in her mind. A person was lying in a pool of blood and trying hard to stretch his hand out to drag her in...She wanted to see clearly who the person was, but the person in the blood pool was blurry, so she could not see anything clearly. Abigail tried to w
"Abigail, stay here. Everyone should first leave," Dr. Sander had spoken.At this time, her words held the most authority. No one dared to not listen, except for one person. He stood there dumbfounded, like a wooden pylon.Abigail saw Ron standing there, not moving. She used her hands to shove him hard. "Only now you start to worry. What have you been doing before this?"It was unknown whether her strength was massive or was Ron too weak, but Ron was almost pushed to the ground by Abigail. After Ron stood firm, he still did not plan to leave."Mr. Zane, you get him out of here. Don't let him get in the way. "Abigail was utterly unaware that it was the tone she used to order people to do stuff.His own wife had finally asked him for help, so Xander definitely had to do it properly. "Ron, you should go out first!"When he spoke, Ron would still listen to him. After Ron left, only Abigail and Dr. Sander were left in the room.Dr. Sander then said, "Emma's will to live is terrible.
Stella's face was pale. It was unclear whether it was because Lucas had too much fun with her just now or because she was worried about Emma.Lucas glanced at the door. He then saw Ron trembling. Lucas was quite sure he knew what was happening. He asked, "What kind of a man are you? How could you let your wife go down this road?""A person would do anything if there's no other choice. Maybe dying is better than living," Stella said as she softly sighed. She drew everyone's attention.Lucas looked sideways at her as he said, "Everything is over for the person who dies. But what about her family?"Stella's face turned white upon hearing that. She lowered her head without speaking. She thought, 'It's been so many years. Yet, he still resorts to such indecent means.'It was unclear how long had passed, but after what felt like a century, the door was opened. Everyone's hope, Dr. Sander, came out.Ron got up and wanted to rush inside. Dr. Sander then closed the door with one hand. She
Abigail could not hide her thoughts. She just said whatever was on her mind, "You didn't have to go down the mountain tonight. Why did you take this risk?"Xander wanted to tell her that he could not allow her to take the risk alone. But he swallowed those words that he almost said. Instead, he answered, "I was a racer. You know this.""Thank you!" Abigail was very grateful. But she did not know what to say other than to say thank you to him.She turned her head behind to look at Dr. Sander. Dr. Sander gave her a "don't worry" gaze as she said, "Emma is sleeping. She's fine.""Dr. Sander, thank you too!" When Emma was in danger, the first thing that came to Abigail's mind was to find Xander. Because she was sure that Dr. Sander would follow him wherever he went.Luckily, Dr. Sander was really there with Xander tonight. Or else, it would be difficult to say whether Emma would be able to wake up tonight.The road down the mountain was too difficult to drive. They spent twice the no
"Xander, calm down." Dr. Sander signaled the doctor to leave. She continued to say, "Let me tell you what's happening.""You tell me!" His tone was so cold that it seemed like he was telling Dr. Sander that if she could not give him an explanation, he would be unkind to her too.Dr. Sander said, "Didn't you notice that Abigail was acting a little strange ever since the Emma incident?"Of course, Xander noticed it. Abigail was not very close to Emma. But she was more worried about Emma than Ron was.Dr. Sander noticed he had calmed down. Only then she continued to say what she thought, "If I'm not mistaken, I think the Emma incident triggered some of her bad memories.""Blood. So much blood... No. No..." Abigail suddenly made a voice of horror on the bed. She unconsciously waved her hands as she said, "Don't catch me. Don't catch me..."It seemed like her reactions confirmed what Dr. Sander said.Xander grabbed her waving hands and hugged her. He said, "Abigail, don't be scared.
