Chapter 117


    "That''s not what I meant. I''m just worried that you''ll feel bored when I y games." Greg had no choice


    but to reveal what he really thought.


    However, Abigail replied with a smile, "I won''t feel bored. After all, you can teach me how to y. I''m a


    fast learner."


    When Greg thought about how he could teach Abigail to y a game, he became ted. "Alright, let''s


    go."


    As he drove the car toward the arena, he realized that it had been a long time since hest visited the


    ce. This ce had been purchased by him and turned into a workshop, and there was also a hostel


    for the team members behind the building.


    When the team members saw Greg stepping into the ce with an alluringdy, they were startled.

    The deputy team leader, Alec Hersey, asked, "What''s going on, Greg?"


    A jovial Greg replied, "This is my girlfriend, Abigail Kain. You guys can just call her Abigail. I''m here


    today to visit you all. Just continue doing what you''re supposed to do."


    "Hey, Abigail."


    Following Alec''s initiative, all of them called Abigail by her name. Abigail nodded with a smile and


    realized that the game they were ying seemed interesting.


    "What game is this?"


    "Are you interested? Why don''t you ask Greg to teach you? After you be familiar with it, we can


    y it together." Upon finishing his words, Alec realized that Greg was hinting at him with his gaze, but


    he couldn''t understand what it meant.


    Greg reckoned that Alec was usually a smart person, but why was he such a dummy on this day?


    With a smile, Abigail said to Greg, "Don''t you want to teach me?"


    "That''s not true. I''d love to teach you."


    Greg hurriedly shed a smile at her and downloaded the game for Abigail before teaching her how to


    y it. In just a while, Abigail got the hang of it. After ying a few practice rounds, she asked Greg to


    let her join the team.


    Alec and the others were all professional gamers. Not only were they swift and experienced, they were


    also well coordinated with one another. Greg initially wanted to walk Abigail through the game, so he


    wasn''t serious when ying it. However, after just one round, he was surprised to see that Abigail was


    responsive and coordinative with the other members. This was a pleasant surprise for him.


    Alec was also delighted. "Greg, you''ve found a girlfriend who is also a pro gamer. It just so happens


    that Gordon can''t join us for thepetition that''s just one week away. Why don''t you let Abigail


    rece him instead?"


    Previously, Alec had been worried about this. Now that Abigail seemed to be adept at ying games,


    he decided to propose this suggestion. However, his words startled Abigail.


    "Are you all going to take part in apetition?"


    "That''s right. It''s going to take ce in just one week. However, Gordon injured his hand yesterday, and


    the doctor has advised him against joining thepetition. So, we haven''t had enough time to look for


    someone to rece him. We''re all worried about this. If we still can''t find anyone when thepetition


    starts, we''ll just ask Greg to join us. Now, we can see that you''re swift and stable when ying games,


    so I''d like to invite you to lend us a helping hand."


    Upon hearing that, the other team members were thrilled as well. Greg was startled, but he still decided


    to let Abigail make the decision on her own.


    "You should make the decision. You can say no if you don''t want to. Don''t force yourself."


    Greg knew that it was Abigail''s first time gaming, and she usually wasn''t interested in ying mobile


    games. Since he did not want to trouble her, he decided to let her have the final say.


    A nonchnt Abigail replied, "If you''re not worried that I''ll drag you down, I''m fine with it. After all, I''m


    currently on leave."


    Upon hearing that, Alec and the others were joyous. In order to work closely with them, Abigail decided


    to practice ying the game with them again. However, she was so immersed in the game that she


    seemed to have forgotten about Greg.


    This made Greg feel dejected, but when he saw that Abigail was enjoying herself, he cheered up again.


    He habitually wanted to smoke, but when he thought of Abigail''s presence, he stepped onto the


    balcony and lit up a cigarette.


    Seeing that, Alec followed him to the balcony. "A cigarette please, Greg."


    He extended his hand toward Greg.


    After tossing a cigarette at him, Greg uttered in a small voice, "You guys don''t have to fight for first


    ce in thepetition. Just make sure that she''ll be fine."


    "Are you looking down on her?" Alec jokingly tried to sow discord between them.


    Greg took a deep breath and exined, "She''s injured, and she has never yed a game before."


    "No way! How is she so responsive if she''s never yed a game before?" Certainly, Alec didn''t believe


    him.


    A proud Greg uttered, "She''s the best surgeon in the world, Abigail Kain. Hence, it''s expected that


    she''s swift and responsive. You''ve never seen her y knife throwing before—she''s quicker with that. If


    the opportunity ever arises, you can watch her y that."


    Upon hearing this, Alec became startled as he touched his own neck and felt a cold sensation. "Abigail


    is really something."


    "Of course, she''s my girlfriend." Greg was ecstatic.


    However, Alec asked doubtfully, "What about Miss Leynthall?"


    "We broke up. In fact, we''ve never really been together since she never loved me. Remember, Abigail


    is my girlfriend now. Whatever happens in the future, all of you have to take care of her."


    "Got it, Greg." Upon gathering some urate information, Alec stepped out of the balcony.


    After ying over ten rounds with them, Abigail became increasingly well coordinated with all the


    members. All of them were surprised as she didn''t look like a newbie when it came to ying games,


    but above all, they were jubnt.


    Upon seeing that all of them were in a jovial mood, Greg said with a smile, "Let''s go. We''ll have a


    barbecue for lunch. It''s on me."


    Then, he suddenly realized that something was off as he looked at Abigail and asked, "I''ve forgotten to


    ask you about it. Are you fine with barbecue? We can go to a restaurant with a private room and eat


    something else if you want."


    He recalled that whenever he came here with Genevieve and suggested going to a barbecue ce


    with his friends, she would say that it was unhygienic and low-ss. Greg subconsciously made such a


    suggestion just now, and as soon as he thought of Abigail''s presence, he quickly proposed a change of


    location.


    Abigail could see that he respected and cared about her, so she replied with a smile, "I''m fine with


    anything. Barbecue is great, and I haven''t had it for a long time."


    Upon hearing that, all of them were ted. "Greg, Abigail is so down-to-earth."


    Certainly, he was pleased at the fact that all of them were praising his girlfriend. He took her hands and


    asked in a hushed voice, "Are you really fine with it? They''re all men, so they''re not picky about food. I


    made such a suggestion because I''d forgotten about it. If you don''t like it, I can go somewhere else with


    you—it''ll just be the two of us."


    "Don''t worry, I''m really fine with that. It''s not like I''m a delicate youngdy."


    She seemed totally nonchnt, but when Greg recalled what she had gone through, he felt


    heartbroken for her.


    "You''re not a delicate youngdy, but you''re my princess. I''ll always love you and treasure you."


    "I''ll take that seriously."


    Abigail shed a smile at the man in front of her, and the seriousness behind his eyes moved her.


    "I''m serious." Greg gripped her hands tighter, then they all went to a nearby barbecue ce.


    All of them were seated at a round table. These guys were talkative, and it was apparent that they were


    close to Greg. The man took care of Abigail by grilling the food for her and letting her have it first. When


    she was done with the food on her te, he would take a few bites before preparing more food for her.


    All of them could see that Greg treated her truly well.


    On the other hand, Abigail''s eyes were slightly moist. It felt awesome to have someone treasure her,


    and she did not want to let this man go. As she lowered her head to have her food, she tried to keep


    her emotions to herself.


    She wasn''t someone who would say sweet words, nor could she act coquettishly in front of a man.


    Once she acknowledged someone to be the right man, she would treat him well forever. She wouldn''t


    say it out loud, but she would just do it. At this moment, she decided that Greg was her man.


    As they drank beer and had barbecued food, some of the men also told some dirty jokes. The


    atmosphere in the ce was harmonious. Abigail kept quiet most of the time, but she would


    subconsciously pick out the food that was either too spicy or hard to digest. Greg knew that she was


    suffering from stomach problems, so he pulled the food toward himself and said, "I''ll have it. I''ll tell


    them to get you food that''s not spicy."


    Then, he ordered some mild-tasting food. However, when the food was ready, she told Greg to have it.


    "Your injuries haven''t recovered, so you''d better not have spicy food as well. Let''s share this te of


    milder food together. Otherwise, I''ll feel lonely."


    "My goodness, this is a public disy of affection. I can''t!" Alec started teasing her.


    Greg became startled. Throughout his rtionship with Genevieve, he knew what food she liked and


    disliked, but the same couldn''t be said for Genevieve. This was one way to tell whether a person


    actually cared about another person. It hadn''t been long since he and Abigail got together, but she was


    already concerned about his health. Needless to say, he felt moved and warmth in his heart.


    "Alright, I''ll have the same food as you. With me around, you''ll never be lonely." Greg immediately


    picked up the food that wasn''t spicy.


    "Are you being serious, Greg?" Alec and the others were speechless.


    A joyous Greg replied, "My girlfriend is a doctor, and she''s always right, so I have to listen to her."


    "Boo!" Alec and the others broke into amotion.


    Abigail just put on a faint smile and filled a cup with warm water for the man. Greg became startled,


    and as he looked at the cup of water in front of him, he realized that she had prepared it for him. Not


    wanting to drink beer anymore, he obediently picked up the cup and took a sip. The warm water


    streamed through his throat and warmed his heart. At that moment, he felt moved andpletely at


    ease.


    Alec and the others were unable to take it anymore. "How are we supposed to eat or drink anything


    now? Abigail, you''re making us jealous."


    Nevertheless, Abigail replied with a smile, "What are you jealous of? Was it because I prepared a cup


    of warm water for him? He still has some injuries on him, so it''s not good for him to drink beer. When


    he recovers, I won''t stop him from drinking."


    "We heard that, and we''ll always remember it." All of them started teasing her.


    All of a sudden, Abigail found that this kind of life was pretty interesting. Ever since she was a young


    kid, she had never gotten along well with a group of people with such ease—it was her first time


    experiencing something like this.
