"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.
"Got it!" Paxton took the photos. He just respectfully walked out without asking any questions.He was like Xander's hand. He would do whatever Xander asked him to do without asking any questions.After Paxton left, Xander took a look at the time. It was already 7:00 a.m. 'The two grandmothers at Southcrest Residence are probably awake by now,' he thought.After thinking for a while, he called the Southcrest Residence's number. The butler passed the phone to Margaret when he accepted the phone call.Perhaps because there was someone there to accompany her, Margaret sounded very energetic as she said, "Xander, today is New Year's Day. If you still want to spend your life with Abigail, remember to greet Cassandra. Of course, you shouldn't just greet her on holidays, you should also call her more often to chat with her. She's soft-hearted. You can easily make her happy with just a few kind words."After Margaret finished talking, Xander finally had the chance to talk. "Grandma, Happy
Lucas said, "I'm just outside the corridor. Why did you call me?"Soon, Xander then saw Lucas push the door to enter the room. Lucas asked, "Ron's wife still hasn't recovered. Why did your wife collapse too?"Xander said, "Why did you guys come down the mountain also?"Lucas rolled his eyes as he said, "You couldn't bear to leave your wife whom you married through matchmaking. How was it possible for Ron to just abandon Emma? I guess he's probably crying while hugging Emma who's sleeping now."Xander asked, "Where's the person that I want?"Lucas answered, "He went overseas to participate in a psychology seminar. He'll only be back in the country around the tenth of this month. You prepare the travel expenses for him. And after he's done with his work there, I'll have him fly directly back to Florivera."Xander said, "No problem."Lucas moved his eyes to look at Abigail who was in Xander's arms.Xander immediately grabbed a shirt to cover Abigail. "Do you not want your eyes any
The two grandmothers would be glad to see the married couple reconciled.But elderly people were more conservative. Cassandra believed that things should be taken one step at a time. She did not expect that Xander and Abigail slept together so soon."Y-You guys do your things. I'll call again later tonight." Cassandra gave two faint coughs. She then hurriedly ended the video call.Then, she excitedly called Margaret over. "Margaret, I have good news for you."Margaret was doing yoga. She stopped her yoga when she heard Cassandra call her over. She then quickly walked to her and asked, "What good news?"Cassandra smiled as she answered, "Latest by this time next year, we'll have a great-grandchild."Margaret pursed her lips as she said, "Great-grandchild? They haven't even reconciled yet. How can we have a great-grandchild? Anyway, I only want the great-grandchild they have together. I won't acknowledge the child that someone else gives birth to."Cassandra said, "Of course it's
A buzzing sound.In the ward, Abigail's WhatsApp chat interface was interrupted by her grandmother's call.She immediately accepted it. She said, "Grandma, Happy New Year's Day!"Cassandra happily replied, "Happy New Year's Day!"Abigail could feel that her grandmother's mood today was quite good just by listening to her voice. She asked, "Grandma, did something good happen today?"Cassandra answered, "Not really. I just called you to tell you that I'll support any decision that you make."Abigail said, "Grandma, why did you suddenly say that?""I saw it when I video-called you this afternoon. If you really want to be with Nathan, I won't disagree. You don't have to hide this from me. Anyway, I'll support every decision you make." Cassandra thought, 'The kid is shy to say it. So, I'll break the ice as the elder.'She just wanted to tell Abigail that whether she decided to get a divorce or stay in the marriage, she should do it without hesitation and worries.Abigail thought, '
Dr. Sander could not help but feel impressed by Xander's foresight. He had anticipated that Emma's situation would be the most concerning issue for Abigail when she woke up. So, he was already prepared for that in advance.As long as Abigail wanted to bring Emma to leave, they could leave anytime.Abigail would not want Emma to wait any longer too if they could leave immediately as every second of waiting was a torment for Emma. Abigail said, "Okay. We'll go back to Parkview to get the luggage before we leave for the airport."Dr. Sander said, "We've already had someone to pack your luggage. Your luggage is on its way to the airport now."'Dr. Sander is so thoughtful,' Abigail thought before gratefully saying, "Thank you, Dr. Sander!"Dr. Sander smiled as she responded, "Xander did all that. If you want to thank someone, thank him."Abigail was speechless.She thought, 'It's Xander again!'I'm not even sure if I can bring Emma away without his help this time. I should thank him
"Do you really think Ron won't find Emma after you leave Valtara with her?" Xander knew Ron cared about Emma. That was why he let Emma leave. But Abigail did not know about that.Abigail had a bad feeling as she asked, "Mr. Zane, what do you mean?"Xander continued saying, "I was the one who took her away this time. Ron was willing to do me a favor. But you should know what kind of a person he is. If you don't, you can ask Emma. You ask her if she wants to stay at The HC Residences. And give me the answer afterward."Abigail had heard many rumors about Ron. The most important one was that he was vengeful.If Ron temporarily let Emma go for Xander's sake, it was possible that he would take her back anytime if she was no longer under Xander's protection.Emma almost killed herself just to escape from Ron. Abigail could not bear to watch Ron take Emma back to Valtara.If Emma was to live permanently in Florivera, Xander was indeed the best and most reliable anchor. Moreover, he was
The issue that Xander was worried about happened as soon as they arrived at the airport in Florivera.Abigail told Felix she would be back in Florivera today and that she would bring a female friend along with her. So, he drove to the airport to pick them up.When Abigail walked out of the airport, not only did Felix give her a hug, but he also even naturally took her luggage. They were so close as if they were an old couple that had been married for many years.And Felix did all that right in front of Xander!Felix even said to Abigail in front of Xander, "Mel immediately booked a table of good alcohol and nice dishes at The Deli when she heard that you're bringing a friend back. We must get drunk tonight.""Mel knows me well." Abigail immediately introduced Emma to him, "Emma, this is my best friend, Felix. Fee, this is Emma. You must treat her like you treat Mel and I."Felix patted his chest as he said, "Your friend is my friend. Emma, now that you're in Florivera, I'll prote
