Chapter 259 Abigail Again
The vehicle arrived swiftly at the infirmary’s gates.
Fortunate it was that the broth had not seared deeply, and Abigail’s arm bore no grievous wound. Within the quarter–hour, the gash was tended, an ointment for burns prescribed for further use at her residence.
Surveying her arm. Abigail sighed with eptance, “I assured you, I am well; merely a trifling harm, no necessity to escort me hither.”
Kate nced her way, assured of her arm’s well–being ere stating, “Prudence dictates a visit to the infirmary”
For had not Abigail stood in the way, that vessel of broth might have doused her.
Observing Abigail’s arm, now inmed and blemished. Kate lightlypressed her lips, <b>a </b>vague vexation taking root.
Abigail waved her arm in jest, a grin upon her lips. “All has been appraised, Kate, are you at ease now?”
“Yes,” nodded Kate.
Had Abigail sustained grave harm for her sake, Kate would have harboured deep regret.
Just then, Kate’s telephone rang–Eric was the caller.
“Kate, have you crossed paths with Lana?” queried Eric’s resonant <b>voice</b>, cool <b>and </b>profound. “Are you wounded?”
Kate’s visage softened, a smile apanying her response, I am unscathed, thanks to Abigail’s vignce and intervention. Otherwise.
Eric’s brow furrowed slightly.
Abigail again!
Eric did not linger on Abigail but issued a warm caution. Fortunate you emerged unharmed. Be <b>wary </b>George will fetch you from the infirmary”

aid.
When Abigail had sought Kate, Eric had not been present. Was it by design or coincidence?
Kate smiled. “Certainly, I shall convey your words to herter. Ric, have you concluded your tasks? When shall you return home?”
Eric hesitated, eyes ncing towards the gleaming edifice ahead, “It will bete. I must first attend to matters here. Wait for me at home.”

Within the infirmary.
<b>Kate </b>ended the telephone conferrin her countenance still adorned with a serene smile. She turned
towards Abigail and spoke with a light <b>chuckle</b>, “Abigail, Ric has expressed his gratitude for your intervention. He wishes to <b>invite </b>you for a meal at your convenience. When might that be?”
Abigail hesitated briefly, then sighed with a touch of resignation, her hand gently touching her brow. “Kate, today is my only avable day… I have urgent personal affairs to attend to abroad. You and Ric can extend the invitation upon my return.”
<b>Kate </b>furrowed her <b>brow </b>slightly. “Is it pressing?”
Abigail’s gaze lingered upon Kate momentarily. “Indeed, it is.”
Kate nced at her, exhaling softly, “Very well, attend to your matters first. I wish you the best of luck.”
Abigail smiled warmly. “Thank you, <b>Kate</b>.”
As they conversed and strolled, Kate’s peripheral vision caught <b>sight </b>of two constables escorting a <b>woman </b>into the hospital.
The woman was attired in prison garb, shackled with handcuffs and ankle <b>chains</b>, a picture of <b>disarray </b>with her head bowed and hair obscuring half her face.
Kate nced at her again, halting in her tracks.
That woman
was
Ruth!
What could Ruth be doing at the hospital at this hour?
“Kate, what has caught your attention?” Abigail noticed Kate’s fixed gaze <b>and </b>followed her line of sight, glimpsing the constables ushering Ruth inside.
Kate paused briefly before replying, “I just <b>saw </b>someone I know. I’ll have my chauffeur take you home; I need to attend to something”
With that, Kate turned swiftly and hastened in the direction where Ruth and the constables had disappeared, instructing George to see Abigail safely home.
Abigail made no attempt to detain her, standing silently as she watched Kate’s retreating figure. After a time, a soft chuckle escaped her lips before she turned and gracefully departed.
