Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 557
Abigail was not sure whether her words were reaching Xander. She sat quietly, her eyes glued to his face. Xander's face was even paler than it had appeared through the glass window, devoid of any color, like a thin sheet of paper that could be punctured by the slightest touch. She thought, 'Even sick as a dog, his face is still handsome, a kind of morbidly captivating charm. Did his parents make some pact with the divine to create such a perfect face?'After staring at Xander for a while and feeling awkward for scrutinizing him so closely, she finally spoke up, "Have you forgotten about Essy and your grandma, Mr. Zane? Your grandma is old, Essy is still young, and you're their rock. Ever thought about what they'd do if something happened to you?"As she spoke, Abigail watched Xander, hoping for any sign of a reaction. She recounted many things about his grandmother and Esther. Even as her words filled the room, Xander remained motionless, no twitch of a finger or flutter of eyelids l

'Why the heck is this happening?' Abigail did not understand. She wanted to summon Dr. Watson. When she attempted to rise, she realized Xander was clutching her hand. As she tried to pull away gently, his grip only tightened."Mr. Zane, if you're awake, cut the act, okay? Don't scare us like that."Abigail had a reason to suspect Xander was pretending, as it seemed improbable for an unconscious man to hold her hand with such force. She extended her other hand and lightly pinched the back of his hand. She did it hard enough that if he were faking unconsciousness, there would be some physical reaction. But Xander showed no sign of response, leaving her utterly disappointed. As to why he had opened his eyes and grabbed her hand, calling her name, Abigail could not explain—she was no doctor.'I need to get Dr. Watson here ASAP.'Abigail tried once more to free her hand, but to no avail. Adding more force did not change the outcome. It was as if her hand had fused with Xander's, and no

Melody wanted to argue in Xander's defense, but her words fell short. Not only was Xander the object of many women's fantasies but he was also the center of many rumors. Among the tales circulating, the most notorious one was of him seizing power, coldly casting his own father into prison. He had long been branded a man who disowned his kin.Felix continued, "If Xander really did harm Caterpie, he'd ensure there would be no trace left behind. We wouldn't even get to see Caterpie's body. Should we call the cops now?"His speculations were growing more and more outrageous, and Melody nervously swallowed. "Caterpie is his legal wife. She's been by his side, working tirelessly for such a long time. He wouldn't go that far, would he?"Felix shot her a glare. "Even now, you're still defending him?""No, it's not that. I..." Melody thought for a moment, then a lightbulb went off in her head. "You know, Fee, it seems to me that it's not me who's lost touch with reality but you."Felix fro

Abigail found herself stuck by Xander's side, given her hand was held tight in his. When she could no longer fight the fatigue, she drifted off, lying at the edge of his hospital bed.Unbeknownst to her, Xander's eyes slowly fluttered open just as she fell asleep. He swiftly removed his oxygen mask and the needle from his hand, got out of bed, and scooped Abigail up in his arms. He then made his way out of the ICU, heading to the room he previously occupied.His room was anything but typical. It was more luxurious than a five-star hotel suite. The bed he slept in was not a small one but a king-sized one, with ample space for two people. He gently laid Abigail on the bed and then settled next to her. He watched her peaceful, beautiful sleeping face, lightly poking her nose. "Little liar, thinking of divorcing me? Over my dead body. You can't get rid of me that easily."Swatting his hand away, Abigail muttered in her sleep, "Mel, Fee, stop messing around. I need to sleep. If I'm not r

The sudden voice jolted Abigail awake. She shot up, looking toward the source of the sound. Xander, clad in crisp white shirt and black trousers, sat at the single-seater couch by the window, one leg casually crossed over the other, a tablet in his hands—probably reading some documents. For a moment, her mind drew a blank. Then she realized she had woken up in Xander's bed. She quickly pulled back the covers to check herself and let out a sigh of relief upon seeing she was still properly dressed. Thankfully, she had always been a decent sleeper, and never had the nasty habit of undressing unconsciously in her sleep. She jumped out of the bed, tongue-tied in her surprise. "M-Mr. Zane, wh-when did you wake up? How did I end up in your bed?""You kept vigil by my bed all night. Thank you," Xander said, looking up at her.His deep and unreadable gaze added to her embarrassment. He did not really answer her question, leaving her clueless about how she ended up in his bed.Abigail stutter

"Mr. Zane has been having a hard time with his appetite lately, can't seem to stomach anything. If it's not too much trouble, could you maybe prepare some meals for him?" Dr. Watson said."My cooking skills are pretty average, nowhere near the level of the gourmet chefs he's used to. If he can't eat their meals, I doubt he'll stomach mine," Abigail said."Sometimes, it's not about the taste of the food but rather who made it. He's gotten tired of the high-end meals. Maybe a change of taste would do him good," Dr. Watson reasoned."How long since he last ate?" Abigail asked."Not too long, just about two days or so," Dr. Watson replied.'He hasn't eaten in two days, and it's not too long?' Abigail softened, and said, "Fine. I live not far from the hospital. I'll cook and then bring it over."Dr. Watson grinned as he shook Abigail's hand. "I can't thank you enough." With Abigail around, he was saved from the ordeal of dealing with his boss's tantrums.Observing Dr. Watson's happy

Seeing the arrogance in the WhatsApp reply, Abigail suddenly understood why Mallory was so fixated on marrying Xander. With a mother so obsessed with social standing and being filled with twisted ideologies from a young age, it was remarkable that Mallory had turned out the way she had.Abigail chuckled, immediately blocking the number. She had never thought of trying to marry above her station, much less trying to outdo Mallory. She reached out to Mallory because of her encounter with Xander the previous night. Particularly when Xander, unconscious, had suddenly awakened, called her name, and clung to her hand, she felt a small hint of doubt. She thought perhaps Xander had not lied to her; he truly wanted to live a normal life with her as Nathan.'Based on my year-long understanding of him, he wouldn't be messing around with women. If so, that day when Xander and Mallory were together, it could've happened under some unusual circumstances or while he was not fully conscious. As for

Hearing this, Abigail felt a wave of relief. "Thanks for the info, Mr. Hagrid. Goodbye."Ron interrupted, "Wait a sec, Ms. Renee."Abigail asked, "Need anything else?""You're a woman; I'd like to hear your opinion. If Xander's wife knew he was sleeping around, you think she'd mind?""I'm not his wife, how would I know?" Abigail retorted. 'As if I would let him fish for information from me—not a chance in hell.' With that, she hung up. Since Xander had helped Emma, Ron had been causing trouble daily trying to force Xander to hand her over. Therefore, Abigail concluded that Ron's words could not be fully trusted.Listening to the dial tone, Ron could not help but smirk. He was not surprised Abigail had suspicions about that day, and he was well-prepared. However, Abigail only thought that Xander was out of it that day and did not realize the man in the bed was not Xander at all. Planting this seed of doubt between the couple was enough. "Oh Xander, the day Abigail finds out you're
