It seemed as if a century had passed; the two lost track of time. The closed door was forcefully opened, and Paxton immediately ran into the room. "Mr. Zane!"Behind him was Dr. Sander."Go check on Abigail first." Xander's voice was so hoarse it was like his throat had been burned.Dr. Sander quickly took out two pills from her medical kit."Take these pills first."Dr. Sander was Xander's personal doctor, so there were all kinds of rare drugs in her medical kit.She also carried the antidote for such aphrodisiacs with her to prevent Xander from being set up by others.Then, she immediately walked to Abigail. When she saw the scratches of various sizes on her arms, she was so shocked that her heart skipped a beat."Abigail! Why'd you do this to yourself?""Dr. Sander, you're finally here!" Abigail said with a smile before she lost consciousness and promptly fell into Dr. Sander's arms.They did not know Abigail could only use such self-harming methods to regain some rational
'Sigh. Does he think others won't notice his worry just because he isn't coming to see her?' she thought.When Dr. Sander rushed to the scene yesterday, Abigail fainted and fell right into her arms.She quickly gave Abigail the antidote. However, she was incredibly guarded. Despite being unconscious, her teeth were still tightly clenched. Dr. Sander did everything she could and still could not feed the antidote into Abigail's mouth.She only released her tightly clenched teeth after Xander, who was in dire straits like her, called her name and gently coaxed her.Then, Dr. Sander could not help but shudder when she thought of Xander's gaze when he saw the scratch marks of various sizes on her arms.'I've been by Xander's side for many years. One time, he got set up and almost lost his life, but he still remained unfazed. I've never seen him this way,' she thought."Dr. Sander, where is this place?" Abigail was a little slow to realize that she was in a completely unfamiliar room.
Dr. Sander subconsciously glanced at Xander. Xander looked at the tablet in his hand and did not say anything; it was as if whether or not Abigail left had nothing to do with him.Dr. Sander helplessly shook her head and said, "Have some oatmeal first, Abigail; we'll talk after you eat.""Alright."'I also had the intention to eat before I leave. Otherwise, Felix and Melody will be worried sick if they see the state I'm currently in,' she thought.The oatmeal was soft and delicious; Abigail wanted another serving after she finished hers. Dr. Sander scooped another bowl of oatmeal for her and laughed. "Eating a lot shows that you've recovered.""It's mainly because of how delicious your cooking is," said Abigail.After she stomached two bowls of oatmeal, she regained most of her energy, and even her spirits were lifted."Mr. Zane, Dr. Sander, I'll be..."Before Abigail could finish her sentence, Paxton walked in with a large box in his arms. "Mr. Zane, Mr. Cooper has sent you yo
Xander's fingers, which were holding a cigarette, froze slightly. The cigarette slowly burned. He did not even notice the pain when the cigarette burned his fingertips.'I'm well aware Abigail doesn't belong to me. I don't even have the right to stay by her bed when she sleeps for an entire day because of the aphrodisiac. I could only learn about her situation from the doctor,' he thought.Dr. Sander watched from the side and suddenly felt a little bad for him.'This might be what people mean by meeting the right person at the wrong time. They can't be together,' she thought.When Abigail said she wanted to go home, Xander could have made her stay with just a single sentence. However, he did not do so.Xander was someone who would go to any lengths just to get what he wanted. But when it came to dealing with Abigail, he had been holding himself back.Xander lit another cigarette. Dr. Sander flipped out. "My goodness! Your temperature still hasn't dropped, and your throat hasn't r
Melody always had inappropriate thoughts, so Abigail did not want to talk about nonsense with her."Where's Fee? Let's get off work early today. I'll treat you guys to a good meal.""Why are you suddenly being so generous? Did you get a bonus?" asked Melody.Abigail nodded furiously. "Mhm, mhm. I've been working quite hard for the past half a year or so. But seeing how I've earned more in the past six months compared to the entirety of last year, all of the hard work was worth it."Melody was happy to see Abigail's hard work get rewarded."We'll have to have something expensive, then. The three of us must properly celebrate this.""How does The Deli sound?" Abigail had wanted to go to this restaurant for a while, but she had not found the time.Melody said, "I want to go there too."The three of them earned more than most people. However, they usually were not high spenders. Their common favorite hobby was eating."By the way, Caterpie. Previously, the things you asked me to h
Xander said, "If you have something to say, just say it."Shawn moved closer to Xander and said mysteriously, "I saw your wife and her boyfriend. They're also having a meal here at this restaurant. Do you wanna go over and say hello?"Xander moved sideways and looked into the room. Sure enough, he saw the disgusting pair of man and woman. The two were even talking and laughing."Let's go." Xander stood up and left.'I can't stomach anything if I eat in the same space as the disgusting couple,' he thought.Shawn quickly followed behind him. He said in a gloating manner, "Xander, at the end of the day, you two are husband and wife, so just end things nicely. After all, you're not the only man in the world who got cheated on, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about."Xander said irritatedly, "Have you informed her about our divorce tomorrow?"Shawn took out his phone. "I'll inform her this instant. Don't worry; she can't run away as long as she's in North Florivera."While Abig
Abigail took her suitcase as fast as she could. Then, she took a cab and rushed to the hospital.In the cab, Shawn called her again. He was really persistent."Ms. Renee, we had a deal yesterday. What exactly are you doing today?"Abigail was indeed the one who bailed on them, so she said, "Atty. Cooper, I'm so sorry! I didn't stand you up on purpose, but something happened back home last minute, and I need to handle it. Can we schedule another time for the divorce after I've settled this matter?""A divorce only takes a few minutes. Come and go through the divorce proceedings first. After you've gone through the divorce proceedings, I'll be your driver and drive you to wherever you want to go, okay?" asked Shawn.'Forget about being her driver. If Abigail can quickly come and go through the divorce proceedings, I think if she asks me to get down on my knees and call her grandma, I'll do it too,' he thought."I'm not in Florivera right now, so please stop calling me. I'll contact
Abigail felt incredibly guilty. "This is all my fault. If I had taken my grandma to Florivera to stay with me earlier, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."Suddenly, loud swearing came from the lobby, interrupting Abigail and the doctor's conversation."That old wench is on her deathbed, yet she still isn't willing to give me her bank card and its password.""The reason she's not giving you her bank card is surely because she wants to give the money to that bitch, Abigail. When that old woman wakes up, you must find a way to get the password no matter what it takes. We certainly can't let that bitch win."Abigail instantly recognized these voices; they belonged to her uncle, Harvey Renee, and her aunt, Lauren Wright.'Grandma is seriously ill, and the two of them aren't thinking about how to cure her, but her savings instead. What a heartless couple!' she thought.Hearing the two's voices, Dr. Bishop frowned in disgust. "Abigail, it might be difficult for you to transfer y
