Before Xander could reply, Abigail started chattering away, "Modern medicine can have strong side effects. Considering your past health issues, herbal treatments might be a better choice. After we return to Florivera, I'll learn about alternative medicine from Dr. Watson. That way, I can help with your health needs. Remember, your health is super important."Suddenly, she found herself in Xander's comforting arms. His deep voice, with a hint of huskiness, whispered, "Abigail, Abigail, Abigail..." He held her close, saying her name as if reminding himself how important she was to him.Xander hugged Abigail so tightly she found it hard to breathe, but she stayed close. "I've always been here," she whispered. She sensed Xander was troubled. Before she could question him, he let go, gently cradled her face, and kissed her."I just missed you.""Hmph. And here I thought you didn't miss me." Abigail gripped his hand. "I missed you too, so much. I don't want us to be apart again. If you h

Since Xander did not visit his grandmother much these days, he had missed her lemon gelatin. The one he had today tasted just like hers. Then he looked at Abigail. Her eyes lit up, and she smiled big at him. That smile made him feel so good he forgot what he wanted to say next.Abigail leaned in closer and whispered, "Doesn't this lemon gelatin taste just like your grandma's?"Xander nodded with a smile. "Exactly like hers."Abigail beamed. "I called up your grandma this morning for the recipe. Made it just how she told me. Pretty spot-on, huh?"Xander chuckled. "Absolutely."Abigail grinned. "Thanks. Means a lot!"Johann, with a hint of jealousy, said, "You missed our breakfast because you were on the phone all morning. Was it for this gelatin?"Abigail explained, "I wasn't trying to avoid breakfast, Grandpa. I had to carefully squeeze the lemons and strain the juice multiple times to make sure the gelatin had the perfect flavor, and it took longer than I thought."Seeing Xand

Abigail snapped back to reality and pulled off Xander's sleeve to bandage his wound. Before Ron could fire again, Paxton tackled him. Soon after, airport security arrived, taking Ron into custody and setting up a perimeter. It was lucky Kane was nearby; he immediately pulled out his first-aid kit to assist Xander.Xander's injury was minor, but tears filled Abigail's eyes. "Nathan, you're such a dummy! Didn't you see how dangerous that was? If the bullet had moved just a little, we might've lost you. Why do you have to take such risks? Can't you think twice in dangerous situations?"Xander pulled Abigail close. "Ever heard that old saying? About a husband being like a protective wall for his wife?"Abigail raised an eyebrow. "Sounds like an old fairy tale."Xander grinned. "Maybe. But there's some truth in it. I'd do anything to keep you safe, no matter what."She sighed. "Just promise you won't do anything risky."As Xander patted Abigail's shoulder, he was lost in thought. 'Do

Abigail really regretted it. She kept getting woken up by Xander and thought, 'If he's not feeling well, why wasn't he tired from last night?' She did not know when things had ended, but she had the longest sleep ever, not getting up until 5:00 p.m.As Abigail descended the stairs, Susanna flashed her a teasing smile. "Rough night? A health shake might perk you up.""Where's Xander?" Abigail asked immediately, momentarily distracted from her hunger."He left for work early," answered Susanna. "Xander mentioned last night was... eventful for you two. He wanted me to ensure you got all the rest you needed. Hungry now?"Abigail was not comfortable with others discussing her private moments with Xander. "Let's not talk about that, Susanna," she said.Susanna saw her discomfort. "Alright. How about that health shake?""Okay," Abigail said, eyeing the thick shake. "I'm not really feeling this. I might just wait for Xander and grab something then."Susanna replied, "Old Madam recommend

Abigail was confused. "What did you say?""Tomorrow, at the office, hand off your tasks to my new assistant," Xander said.Abigail replied, "I planned to help the women's support group in my free time. It won't affect my work as your assistant.""You're working on those comics when you're not with me," Xander said. "You're really good at it. But if you stick around with me all the time, you might miss out on starting that women's group or helping other women find their voice."Abigail's eyes widened. "How'd you find out about my comics?"Xander, a hint of annoyance evident, replied, "You're my wife. I've known you for so long. It's no surprise I'd know."Abigail frowned. "Don't treat me like I'm out of the loop."Xander's chuckle was magnetic, the kind that could make heads turn. Abigail was thankful he kept that infectious smile in check in public; she did not need more women getting charmed by it.Abigail said, "Stop laughing.""Why? Can't I have a little fun?" Xander replie

Susanna: [Old Madam, Abigail mentioned earlier she's hoping for twins. Think you'll need to set aside two islands?]Margaret: [Just two islands? She'll get more than that from me. How about some prime real estate downtown? In short, if I have what Abigail wants, I'll give it to her.]While Susanna chatted with Margaret, she did not notice that the affectionate couple from before was now arguing.Xander said, "We've made up our minds. You should focus on your art and comics. Follow your heart without being tied to just one job."Abigail understood him, but she really liked being his assistant. It was not only about the job's security but also the joy of working close to Xander, being by his side. She said, "I know you're worried I'll get too stressed. But working with you doesn't tire me. I love it."Xander smiled and gently touched her lips. "Remember you said people get tired? I took it to heart. I've offloaded some tasks because I want more quality time with us. Why resist?"Ab

Susanna overheard Xander and Abigail talking. When she heard something she did not like, she stepped in quickly. "Xander, if you're worried about Abigail being too tired, just be direct with her. Don't be so unclear that it hurts her feelings."Xander seemed taken aback. "Didn't I explain myself?"Susanna just let out a sigh.Abigail did not want to argue with Xander because she was upset. "Susanna, I'm hungry. Can we eat?""Sure." Susanna headed to the kitchen, and soon enough, there were several dishes on the table, but only two plates of food. Susanna had not prepared a plate for Xander, obviously showing her disagreement. Not wanting Xander to go without food, Abigail offered him her plate. However, Xander declined, saying, "I'm not hungry."After an afternoon with an IV drip and a nap, he was not hungry. Abigail looked at him seriously. "Skipping meals isn't good for you. You should eat." She was concerned, even though she had been upset just a bit ago.Xander chuckled. "Sus

It was early September. While the north began its cool-down, Florivera remained warm without a hint of winter. Come evening, the sea breeze was a gentle presence. As Abigail strolled in the yard, warmth enveloped her, but Xander's hand was still icy cold.Abigail rubbed Xander's icy hand, hoping her warmth would help. "Have you been taking Dr. Watson's meds? Your hand feels so cold."Xander replied, "It's been an issue for a while. It's not life-threatening, but it doesn't have a quick fix.""You haven't been skipping those meds, right?" Abigail asked. "Perhaps we should seek another doctor's advice? If no one local can help, maybe we should think about going overseas."Xander sighed, "Don't always worry about me. Let's just enjoy our time together.""But—""Shh! Listen. What's that sound?"Abigail tuned in to the surrounding sounds: the whisper of the sea breeze, the cicadas' chirps, and Xander's steady heartbeat. She snuggled even closer to him. It was not really about the wal

Chapter 1189

Both Abigail and Xander were sad about the thought of not being together in the future. Xander realized that feeling sad inside was even tougher than getting a physical injury. The sadness made his heart feel heavy. He wished more than anything to be with Abigail forever, growing old side by side. He imagined them as an elderly couple, strolling in a park. But he also knew he did not have a lot of time. He needed to follow his plan.Pushing his sadness aside, Xander gently squeezed Abigail's hand. "Want to keep walking?"Abigail wrapped her arms around him. "Yeah."They walked across a large green lawn and came upon a breathtaking view of the ocean. Monsoon Villa's popularity was clear; it sat right in the heart of Florivera city, offering a glimpse of both the bustling city and the serene sea. While Abigail knew about the villa's ocean view, the sight during sunset was a captivating first for her. The sea had a golden shimmer, looking truly magnificent."Nathan, this place is amaz

Abigail said, "I figured it out by myself. Fake Daisy is cold-hearted. Once she got what she wanted, she wouldn't let my mom live." Taking a deep breath, filled with guilt, she added, "I can't find any evidence against her."Xander squeezed Abigail's hand. "Fake Daisy is ruthless, and my team found evidence of her and Gavin's wrongdoings. We handed it to the police, so they won't get away."Abigail asked, "What's the evidence? Is it still good after all these years?"Taking a deep breath, Xander said, "It's hard to say, but it's a video where they killed your mom."Abigail's voice quivered. "Video evidence? Does that mean...?"Xander just nodded. "Yes.""Can I see it?" she asked."The police have it," Xander replied. "I don't think they'll show it to you.""And my mom?" she continued, her voice barely above a whisper.Xander hesitated, then said, "They... they dismembered her."Abigail felt as if the ground had shifted beneath her, overwhelmed by the tragic fate of her mother
