Patients with this disorder would not normally admit that they had the disorder because they did not realize that they had the disorder. Xander had no way to confirm if yesterday's treatment was effective at this moment, so he had no choice but to give an ultimatum. "Abigail, you should know that those with post-traumatic stress disorder will not be able to work as my executive assistant.""Is there anything that is lacking in my work, Mr. Zane?" asked Abigail as the hand beside her was tightly wrapped into a fist and her fingernails dug deeply into the palm of her hand. Only pain would prevent her emotions from running amok. "You don't have to find an excuse like that to let me go."Upon seeing her face getting paler from what he said, he knew that she had recovered her memories. He supported her by the shoulder and involuntarily softened his voice. "Abigail, it is only when you bravely face your past trauma can you fully let go of it. You can only start your life anew when you let
'Does she think that I lack the money to pay for it?' thought Xander angrily when he saw another thing that made him even more infuriated. There were traces of blood in her fingernails when she lifted her hand.He immediately caught her hand and asked, "What happened to you?"Abigail, who did not feel the pain, nervously retracted her hands. "It's nothing.""I dare you to say that again!" Xander grabbed her hand and forcefully said, "I'll let Dr. Sander treat the wound. Then, you can have a chat with Finnigan."Abigail wanted to say no. But, seeing his darkened eyes, she obediently kept her mouth shut and followed his arrangements....Thinking that it would be more comfortable, Xander arranged to have Abigail and Finnigan chat in the sunroom and left them alone in the room.He could still see every action clearly in the sunroom from where he was sitting.Esther approached Xander's side and asked, "Brother, how can you leave Abigail and that Finnigan alone in there? That Finnig
'Is my sister-in-law such a jealous person that I can't even hug you?' questioned Esther as she got more and more interested in the sister-in-law she had never met. "Brother, when will you officially introduce my sister-in-law to me?"Xander looked toward Abigail in the sunroom and said, "Soon."'When is soon?' thought Esther as she wanted to probe further but was unable to. "What do you think I should do to make Abigail stay, brother?"Xander said, "Do you even need me to teach you how to persuade a person to stay?"Esther pouted. "It's alright if you're not going to tell me how. I can just leave with her after all..."Xander cut her off before she could finish grumbling. "Follow me to the third floor."Esther asked, "Why the study? I don't even have any interest in those difficult books in there."Xander replied, "Follow me when I tell you to."Esther had no choice but to follow....Over at Abigail's side, Finnigan did not have many questions and only chatted with her over
"T-Three thousand dollars?" For someone like Abigail, three thousand dollars was an astronomical figure just to have a chat and was enough to cover her living expenses for one or two months. She could not refuse to pay since she had already gone through the session."I can increase the amount if you feel that it's still too cheap." Finnigan was not clear about Abigail's purchasing power and worried that the low price he quoted caused her to doubt him."That's still considered cheap?" Worrying that Finnigan would suddenly charge more, she immediately took out her phone. "I'll pay right now, Mr. Yale."Finnigan turned on his phone and showed his electronic wallet QR code to Abigail's phone, and the money was immediately transferred, "Would you like to meet Mr. Zane together with me, Ms. Renee?""No thank you. I still want to rest here for a while," replied Abigail with an apologetic smile. When Finnigan left, she turned her attention toward her phone on the tea table, eagerly waiting
'If Nathan truly meant what he said, he should still have time to meet me, no matter how busy he is. He said he would be back on the eleventh two days ago, but I didn't get a direct reply when I asked if we could meet up. Tomorrow will be the eleventh. Will Nathan come back to Florivera? Will he contact me?'Abigail flipped through her chat with Nathan, wanting to take the initiative to ask him if he would be coming tomorrow. But, in the end, she deleted her unsent message when she was done typing it. 'I won't contact him for now.'After deciding that, she opened the new message that was sent to her. She excitedly lifted her head to look at Esther when she saw the message with the annotation of the sentence that she could not understand. "You're so brilliant, Esther! You even know the explanation to this Old Chrysalan sentence."Esther looked at Xander. She noticed him hinting at her and had no choice but to take the credit for herself. "I just so happen to read this book.""Then,
Esther did not want to see anything she could not understand, so she hurriedly waved her hand. "There's no need for that. I don't want to learn. Why don't you teach Abigail? Abigail wants to learn, and you want to teach, so don't drag me in. I'm a child who doesn't like to read.""You have to learn." Only then did Xander look at Abigail. His gaze landed on her figure, and it immediately softened quite a lot. "If you want to learn, you can also learn it."Abigail was very willing to accept such benefits. She excitedly bounced around and said, "I want to learn; I really want to learn it. Mr. Zane, can you wait for me for two minutes? I'll go grab my pen and notepad.""Go then." Watching her merry silhouette made Xander's mood cheerful like her.He was merely letting her study together, yet she was so happy that she was skipping. She was such a silly girl who was easy to please.Esther was forced into his study mode. Every time she heard a stanza of the poem, she grew so sleepy that
Then, Abigail took her phone out and entered TOP's official website to see tomorrow's auction schedule. The auction started the next night at eight. Hence, they would make it in time if they flew at noon tomorrow.She then checked the flight schedule for tomorrow from Florivera to Hayshiport. Florivera and Hayshiport were both the biggest cities in their region. There were many flights between the two locations, including night and day flights.Based on Xander's flight habits, Abigail booked a flight for ten in the morning. After a two-hour flight, they would be just in time for lunch. "Mr. Zane, I've booked a flight to Hayshiport for ten tomorrow morning."Xander just wanted to whisk Abigail away from Florivera to avoid the time when Nathan would return to Florivera. He did not consider that his single sentence would bring up so many matters for Abigail. "You don't need to prepare for anything else. I'm just going to take a look. You can continue to read your book.""Alright," Xan
Both of them were hugging and whispering to each other. It made Xander seem like an outsider in this situation. Esther liked Abigail from the bottom of her heart. Since Abigail could stay, she was ecstatic. "Abigail, let's go and have lunch. After all that crying, I'm even more hungry now."Abigail could not resist refusing the sly little girl. She gently ruffled her hair and agreed. "Okay. Let's have lunch."They both held their hand together and walked forward. None of them cared about Xander, who was behind them. Xander felt that they might not even remember him if he did not join their meal. Xander was not surprised that Esther liked Abigail so much. It was just like she said; Abigail was such a nice girl; she could make anyone like her.What made Xander truly curious about Abigail was that she had been hurt before, which made it hard for her to get acquainted with others. So, how did Esther easily open up her heart?He obviously had known Abigail for a longer time and spent mo
