Chapter 52
The person beside Hugh hurried out after Abigail. For the past few years, Abigail had been living under
Hugh''s protection. She had also learned some self-defense and detective skills in order to protect her
daughter, so Abigail realized that someone was following her the moment Hugh''s man came out.
Abigail knew that Hugh was worried about her, but she didn''t want him to know much about whatever
was going on between her and Greg. She didn''t think too much about the reason she wanted to hide
this from Hugh. After Abigail got rid of the person who was following her, she hurried off to the airport.
Unfortunately, there were no longer any flights back to Harrion. What am I going to do now? Should I
just not do anything about it? No, that wouldn''t be right.
Abigail had a clear answer in her head. She needed to use some of the Grey Territory''s power in order
to get things done. So, Abigail headed to the port. It would take longer for her to travel by ship—about
three hours. Hopefully, I''ll make it in time. Abigail used Hugh''s name to get herself a ship back to
Harrion.
Soon enough, Hugh received news from his end. When he found out that Abigail was rushing back to
Harrion, his face turned sour. Who is she going back for? Is it Greg, or is it Arianna? Hugh didn''t know
the answer, but he felt extremely angry. "Send someone over to check on her. Why is she in such a
rush to go back? Is it because Arianna''s sick?" Hugh was trying tofort himself by assuming that
Arianna was sick. He knew how important the two children were to Abigail.
Furthermore, Abigail hadn''t mentioned Greg''s name at all in the past five years. He probably doesn''t
matter to her, right? However, Hugh then recalled the way Greg looked at Abigail. That man definitely
has feelings for Abigail! But I don''t think she knows. That makes me feel like I still have a chance.
The sun was up by the time Abigail got back to Harrion. She took a nce at her watch to see that it
was already past 8.00AM. Abigail had been busy with Hugh''s surgery, and she only managed to have a
small bowl of porridge the entire night. Her tummy was rumbling right then, and she desperately
wanted to eat something.
Abigail took a look at the stalls by the port, her mouth watering at the scent of the food. However, when
she thought about what the two men had said, she quickly walked past all the stalls and decided to just
get some bread to fill her stomach. She wasn''t sure if Greg had left for work yet, so she decided to take
a cab back to Allie''s Garden.
The housekeeper was rather shocked to see Abigail. "Dr. Kain? Didn''t you go for surgery in Rorea?
Why are you back so soon?"
"Is Greg here?" Abigail questioned the housekeeper immediately—she didn''t bother to exin her own
situation. The housekeeper instinctively shook her head. "No. I think he brought Arianna to the
company."
"Thank you! Can I take one of his cars?" Abigail found it hard to travel around without a car. Initially,
she hadn''t expected to stay around for a long while, so she didn''t get herself a car. She had returned
the car that she rented previously as she hadn''t expected her visit to be dyed for so long. It was
extremely troublesome to live without a car.
The housekeeper hurriedly led Abigail over to Greg''s garage after hearing that she needed a car. "Dr.
Kain, you can pick any car you like." Abigail was somewhat stunned after seeing all the sports cars in
Greg''s garage. How much does this guy like sports cars? All of these cars are limited edition too.
However, she couldn''t be bothered to care about that right then. She ended up picking a red car before
hurrying out of the house. She had to admit that there was some good in taking Greg''s car—most ofOwned by N?velDrama.Org.
the other cars would avoid her on the road as they were afraid to hit her. They wouldn''t be able to pay
for damages if that happened.
However, it just happened to be the morning rush hour, and Abigail found herself in the middle of
standstill traffic. As Abigail nced at the cars in front of her, she wondered when she would be able to
reach Greg''s office. What if the men had already made a move on Greg? At that thought, Abigail
decided to give Greg a call. She finally managed to contact him.
"Mommy? Are you looking for Daddy?" Abigail was rather stunned when she heard Arianna''s voice.
"Why are you the one picking up the phone? Where''s Daddy?" Abigail asked.
"Daddy went to the airport to pick someone up, and he left his phone at home. How''s Papa, Mommy?"
Arianna was still curious about why Abigail had gone to Rorea.
"He''s fine, darling. I need to meet Daddy for something, so I''ll talk to youter. What time did he leave
the house?" Abigail asked.
"He left about half an hour ago" Abigail felt extremely worried after hearing what Arianna said. Did he
go to the airport to pick someone up? Will there be someone there to harm him? She was worried.
"Can you do me a favor, Arianna?" she asked.
"Tell me what you need, Mommy."
"Can you help me check where your Daddy is right now?"
"Sure. I''ll just check the cameras on the road. Hold on, Mommy. I''ll turn Daddy''sputer on. There''s a
password, so I''ll have to hack it first." Arianna leaped up onto Greg''s office chair before turning his
computer on. She speedily ran her fingers across the keyboard. Soon enough, the whole of Harrion''s
road cameras popped up on Greg''sptop.
"Daddy''s car is on the highway, and he''s about to turn onto the road leading to the airport, Mommy.
He''s going at 44 miles per hour," Arianna replied.
"I got it. Thanks, darling." After Arianna ended the call, she hastily checked her GPS. She was a little
farther away from the airport, and she wasn''t sure if she''d be able to catch up with him. She hastily
turned the car around, and a few other vehicles honked her for doing so. However, they automatically
steered away from her when they saw her car. It wasn''t just that her car was a limited-edition car, but
they were also afraid to mess with her because of her impressive car te. She sped at 80 miles per
hour to get to the airport.
After reaching the airport, Abigail didn''t know which exit Greg was waiting at, so she had no choice but
to stop at each one to look for him. Because she only had a little food for breakfast and traveling had
taken a toll on her, her stomach cramps were triggered. Cold sweat formed on her head as she was in
a lot of pain. However, she hadn''t managed to find Greg yet. What should I do? Right when she was
about to panic, she caught sight of Greg. "Greg!" Abigail no longer cared about her image in public—
she pushed everyone away while shouting for him.
Greg froze. Did I just hear Abigail''s voice? How could that be? She should be in Rorea now, right? He
shook his head before heading into the airport. His good friend was returning to the country that day, so
he parted his legs to walk into the building. Abigail stomped her feet in frustration, but she no longer
tried to shout for him. Instead, she ran at the speed of light to chase after him.
On the other hand, Greg had squeezed past the crowd to make his way to the exit, where he waited for
his friend. Soon enough, his friend walked out with his luggage. "Over here, Jason!" Greg waved at him
happily.
When Jason saw Greg, he froze for a while before beaming and rushing over to Greg. "It''s been so
long, Greg." Right as Jason was about to wrap his arms around Greg, Greg felt a pair of cold hands
clutching his wrist. At the same time, a tiny figure appeared in front of him before pushing him
backward. It was toote for Jason to stop himself, and Abigail caught sight of a shiny object appearing
from Jason''s sleeve.
She swung her leg to kick it, and a dagger flew out of his sleeve. "Ah!" Someone in the crowd
screamed, and Jason froze when he realized that a woman had ruined his attack. His gaze darkened
as he pulled out another dagger before rushing toward Abigail. Greg hadn''t managed to steady himself,
but he was stunned by what he had just seen.
"What''s going on?" Greg didn''t understand why Jason and Abigail were fighting, and he didn''t know
why someone was running toward him with a knife when Abigail was there. Greg knitted his brows
together as he narrowed his eyes to form an eagle-like gaze. Is someone trying to murder me?
All of a sudden, he seemed to realize something. He shot a thoughtful gaze in Jason''s direction before
he quickly dealt with the other people near him. Although Abigail had been trained in self-defense, she
still found it hard to deal with Jason as he was also a skilled fighter. "How are you rted to Greg?"
Jason was frustrated.
He had been around Greg for so many years, yet he had never met Abigail in the past. Where did this
womane from? However, Abigail didn''t bother to exin herself—she''d rather deal with him
physically. When Jason noticed that Abigail was getting more and more aggressive, he faked a punch
before he aimed the dagger in his right hand at Abigail''s chest.
Abigail could have dodged the attack, but her stomach cramps attacked her all of a sudden. She was
stunned for a split second, and the dagger pierced through her chest with a loud squelch. Blood
sttered everywhere. "Abigail!" Greg''s eyes burned with fury all of a sudden.
"You''re dead, Jason!" Greg charged over like a madman, and he kicked Jason''s dagger aside before
sending a punch that immediately broke Jason''s right arm. "Argh!" Jason let out a wail. However, Greg
didn''t care about him at all. He got someone to tie Jason up before he hurried over to Abigail. "How are
you feeling? I''ll send you to the hospital now."
"You need to stop my bleeding." Abigail''s face was rather pale, but she seemed rtively calm. "How
should I do it?" Greg asked. He was used to seeing blood and violence because of his upbringing. He
had grown up in an environment where killing and stabbing weremon urrences, but it was the
first time a woman had ever taken a stab for him.
The fact that she had done it made him feel rather ufortable, yet it gave him an unfamiliar feeling
which was spreading across his chest. Abigail didn''t know what Greg was feeling then. "Pull the dagger
out," she hissed through gritted teeth.
"I can''t. I''m afraid I might injure one of your main arteries. Let''s do it at the hospital," he rejected her
immediately. If one of her main arteries had really been injured, Abigail''s life would be in danger once
he pulled the dagger out.
"I''m a doctor!" Abigail''s stomach was hurting badly, so she was in a bad mood. However, Greg wasn''t
troubled by her temper then, and he simply carried her up before rushing out of the airport. "Drive! We
need to bring her to the hospital now!"
Abigail felt even worse as Greg jogged while carrying her out. Her chest hurt, but her stomach hurt
even more. She wanted Greg to slow down, but her vision turned ck before she could speak. Her
head lolled to the side and she fainted.
"Abigail! Wake up! If you die now, I''ll gain custody over the kid! Do you hear me?!" Greg shouted in a
threatening voice, but he was trembling in fear. He felt rather afraid all of a sudden. What if something
really happened to Abigail?
