Chapter 81

Without severing the mother-child relationship, Harvey would have to pay for his mother's medical expenses. With that in mind, he clapped his hands. "Let's go right now. The sooner, the better."As Harvey left, the others naturally followed.With the troublemakers gone, Abigail collapsed back into her chair, drained. She had prepared a fake bill in advance, taking advantage of Harvey's love for money, and dealt with this major problem. She had won this time, but she still could not find joy in it.She could not understand why some people in society harbored such malice toward women, especially those who were slightly more attractive. She and the young doctor were not even acquainted. She did not even know his first name. The young doctor had merely stepped in to help her out of a sense of justice. Yet, in the eyes of people like Harvey, she had engaged in improper dealings with the young doctor.Abigail glanced apologetically at the male doctor. "I'm sorry for getting you involved.

Abigail nestled in her grandmother's embrace, gently rubbing her head against her. "Grandma, I won't cry for those lowlifes. If anyone should cry, it should be them.""It seems my Abigail has really grown up." Cassandra patted her back gently. "Abigail, have someone help me sell the house. We'll go to Florivera, and never return to this cursed place again.""But Grandma..." Abigail looked up at her grandmother; this was the place where she was born, worked, and had her roots. Once the house was sold, her grandmother would have nothing to fall back on.Cassandra caressed her head. "In my heart, nothing is more important than you. Wherever you are, that's home to me."Abigail thought the same way – wherever her grandmother was, that was home for her. But the house must not be sold; she decided to leave a way out for her grandmother.The next day, Abigail and Cassandra boarded a plane to Florivera. Felix and Melody came to the airport to pick them up.Felix sighed. "Caterpie is too

Keith asked, "Where did you go for your vacation?"Abigail replied, "I just wandered around."Keith offered, "We're also heading back to the city, would you like to join us?""My friends are picking me up." Abigail smiled. "Mr. Zane, Mr. Jackman, goodbye!""Goodbye!" Keith watched Abigail leave, then sat back down in the passenger seat and mumbled, "I have never seen Abigail dressed like this before, so gentle and beautiful. It makes me want to protect her..."Before he could finish, he felt a chill run down his spine and sensed a murderous aura behind him. He turned around to see Xander's menacing gaze beneath his silver-rimmed glasses. Keith wondered, 'What did I say wrong?'Felix drove Cassandra to the hospital and helped with the admission process, running up and down the stairs. Melody stayed by Cassandra's side to take care of her.With the help of the two, Abigail felt relieved and finally had time to find a caregiver.In the evening, Margaret arrived, and the two elderl

Xander furrowed his brow in irritation and quickly typed a message: [I'll visit your grandmother, but I don't want to see you.]His disdain for her was evident in every word. Abigail did not understand why he despised her, nor did she care to know. As long as he would come to ease her grandmother's worries about her illness, that was enough. She replied: [Let us set a time. When you come, I'll make myself scarce.]Xander responded: [Tomorrow afternoon.]Abigail sent him the details: [My grandmother is in Building 3, Room 1003, at the Second Florivera Hospital. Please don't mention our plans for divorce to her. Thank you very much!]After sending the message, Abigail waited for a while but received no reply. She silently put away her phone and told her grandmother, "Grandma, Nathan has agreed to come and visit you tomorrow afternoon.""Very good, very good..." Cassandra could not contain her joy, but her happiness was quickly followed by nervousness. "Abigail, do you think I should

Xander had originally planned to inspect Westwold Wetlands with the CEO of Alastair in the afternoon, but he knew it wasn't urgent and could be postponed. Abigail nodded, "I'll inform Alastair and reschedule the appointment."Xander looked up from his paperwork and furrowed his brows, sensing Abigail's fatigue from their travels the day before. Realizing that a night's rest might not have been sufficient for her to recover fully, he said, "You don't have to come into work today."Abigail was caught off guard and wondered, 'Who did he mean?' She decided to ask, "Mr. Zane, are you firing me?"Xander was surprised by her question and thought, 'When did I say I was going to fire her?' Despite having worked with Abigail for only six months, he trusted her as much as he did his longtime assistant Keith. Xander knew that even if Abigail wanted to leave, he might not be ready to let her go just yet.He continued, "Do you feel well enough to meet with clients today?"Abigail began, "I'm so

Cassandra's first question left Xander speechless. She assumed he was just shy or didn't want to talk in front of others. She smiled and said, "Sophia, I'd like to chat with my grandson-in-law in private. You can go do your own thing."Cassandra emphasized the word "grandson-in-law" to remind Sophia that Xander was her granddaughter's husband and discourage Sophia from having any romantic interest in Xander.Sophia knew she shouldn't entertain any romantic thoughts about Xander, but she couldn't help taking a quick glance at Xander and thinking to herself, 'How can someone be so good-looking?'Xander didn't even acknowledge Sophia's presence throughout the whole exchange, which pleased Cassandra greatly. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. She beamed with happiness and said, "Nate, I'm glad you found time to visit me despite your busy schedule."Xander politely replied, "It's the least I could do."Cassandra continued, "You and Abigail weren't in love before you go

"Is there any chance you two can save the marriage?" Cassandra asked again."No," Xander replied firmly."Thanks for being honest," Cassandra said, pausing for a moment before adding, "Don't tell Abigail yet that I know about your plans to divorce. Let me figure out how to talk to her.""Alright," Xander agreed.After Xander left, Cassandra lay in bed thinking for a while. Once she had made up her mind, she picked up the phone and called Abigail.Abigail was abruptly awoken by the ringing phone from her deep sleep. She answered and heard her grandmother's excited voice, "Abigail, Nate came to visit me. He's not only good-looking but also thoughtful in everything he does. He arranged for me to move to a private room and set up two caretakers to take care of me in shifts. He thinks of everything. You should rest after work today and not come to the hospital.""Okay grandma, please remember to eat on time. I'll come to see you tomorrow after work," Abigail replied. She thought that

Lucas slapped Xander on the shoulder and said, "Are you going to say she's married again? So what if she's married? Can't she just get divorced? Give her husband some money and make him go away. Once he's got the cash, he'll be out of her life and she'll be yours."Xander bent down and stamped out his cigarette before fixing Lucas with a cold stare. "She's not someone you can just joke around about."Lucas chuckled. "So you're protecting her?"Xander replied, "Protecting her? I just can't stand it when people make fun of women.""Alright, alright," said Lucas. "I won't talk about her anymore. Let's go eat." But in his mind, Lucas was thinking, "Xander is all talk and no action. He can't even handle someone saying his assistant isn't just his assistant. He won't even admit he has feelings for her."The truth was, maybe Xander wasn't avoiding admitting his feelings, he just didn't know how to love someone. Having never been in a relationship, he had no idea what it felt like to love

Abigail not only had to manage what Xander drank but also what he ate. She wouldn't let anything he didn't like anywhere near his plate.After the meal, Abigail tended to Xander's needs, and by the time she had a chance to eat, her food had gone cold, and her stomach was starting to growl.Xander was accustomed to having Abigail as his assistant, taking care of everything for him. He didn't think anything was wrong with letting her take care of him so much tonight.Stella was furious and pinched Lucas hard. She cursed under her breath, "It's all because of this jerk. I invited friends over for dinner, and now everything's ruined."Lucas held Stella's hand. "What do you want to do after dinner?"Xander replied, "Anything's fine with me."Stella turned to Abigail and asked, "What do you like to do for fun, Abigail?""I'm not really into—" Abigail started to say, but suddenly, a wave of nausea hit her stomach, and she rushed to the bathroom.Xander's gaze followed her, and a hint

Stella over imagined things in her mind. Abigail did not know how to explain it to her. So, she just did not bother to do it.Her stomach was not feeling well and wanted to vomit just now. It was because she accidentally ate a dessert with peanut butter filling.She had been allergic to peanut butter since she was a kid. So, she could not eat any food made with peanuts.Luckily, the peanut butter filling in the dessert was not much. So, her allergic reaction was not too strong.Abigail poured a glass of hot water and drank it. Her stomach felt much better after a while.Stella worriedly said, "Abigail, should we go to the hospital?"Abigail smiled. "Stella, I'm fine. Don't worry."Stella was still worried. "Let us send you home then."Before Abigail could reject her, Lucas grabbed Stella as he said, "There are so many paparazzi outside. How can you send her home? It's safer to just let Ms. Renee go home by herself.""Mr. White is right. I should leave now." Abigail liked Stell
