When she saw Greg's expectant gaze, Abigail really couldn't bear to say those words. However, therewere things that shouldn't be delayed, and withholding topics was the worst thing one could do in arelationship.

She was in deep thought for a while before she said, "After getting discharged tomorrow, I'll head toFrasers Residence right away. Teal's treatment is about to start, and the children are there as well. I'vealso asked Addison to check in on Amy, and she'll come along with me. I hurt my leg, but as long asAmy is with me, I won't have to suffer too much."

Even though he had already guessed that Abigail wouldn't be returning to Allie's Garden, he still feltupset when he heard those words from her own mouth.

However, with everything that had been going on recently, he couldn't blame Abigail for leaving Allie'sGarden.

Greg said tentatively, "Shall I tag along?"

Abigail frowned and shook her head. "I'm going there to treat Teal, not to be her guest. Would it beappropriate if I brought my family along? You should stay at home, recover, and watch the house forme. By the way, where's my cat?"

Greg felt even more upset now.

Was a cat more important to Abigail than him?

He said huffily, "I made it into a stew and ate it."

"Be sensible!" She gave him another punch.

He was a little sad now. "Sweetheart, you don't love me anymore."

"Yes, I don't love you anymore."

Abigail didn't think too much as she agreed with his sentiment, which greatly terrified Greg.

"How dare you! Even if you don't love me anymore, I'll stick with you all your life! They say that womenare scared of men who stick with them 24/7. I swear you won't get rid of me."

"How shameless!"

Even though she scolded him, the corners of her mouth turned up. She seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing her like that, he was instantly elated. "I don't want to be separated from you! I'm a patient too,as well as your darling husband. Are you really leaving me to fend for myself for another woman'ssake?"

"You did this to yourself."

Abigail didn't pity him in the slightest, and her words remained sharp and painful.

Greg clutched his chest as he looked at Abigail pleadingly. The look in his eyes was unbearable.

"Take good care of my cat. If it gets hurt in the slightest, I'll fight you to the death." She ignored him anddropped those cruel words, which angered him so much that he felt his stomach writhing in pain.

If that cat was so precious to her, he would make the cat stew out of it.

Even though he felt that way, he dared not voice his thoughts.

The two chatted sweetly for a while before Abigail felt a little sleepy. Greg was human too, and hewasn't in high spirits either.

"Move aside. I'll squeeze in with you. I'm too lazy to go back."

Greg immediately got into bed, which caused Abigail to frown a little.

This man was really shameless.

"This bed is very small."

Her intentions were clear about wanting him to go back. However, he pretended not to understand.

"It's okay. If I hug you, we can fit in."

With that, he lay down and wrapped his arms around Abigail's waist, then closed his eyes.

As the familiar scent filled his nostrils, Greg felt his heart calm down considerably. He felt warm andcomfortable.

Soon, the man's steady breathing could be heard.

Abigail looked at his sleeping face and recalled everything this man did before a certain warmth flittedacross her heart.

There were rarely people who would do so much for her, and even when her mother found fault withGreg, he didn't back away, nor did he shield Valerie. He always stood on her side, and she was deeplymoved by him.

This man quietly conquered her heart, and she couldn't bear to leave him.

Abigail chuckled softly and whispered, "Sweet dreams, Greg."

With that, she closed her eyes and quietly went to sleep.

The sun shone in through the windows, and the two quiet sleeping faces gave off an aura of peace andstability.

Abigail would be getting discharged the next day. Despite his reluctance, Greg knew him well and hewas also aware that she wouldn't listen to him. Moreover, she had her own matters to attend to.However, when he thought about them being apart for a while, he was terribly sullen.

His expression was cold throughout the process.

When Addison saw Greg's behavior, he felt curiously happy.

Greg said coldly, "I heard you're quite skilled. Can you show me?"

"I don't bully patients. Miss Abigail will get mad," Addison retorted, angering Greg to no end.

When Abigail noticed that Greg was in a bad mood, she took his hand and said in a low voice, "Bendover."

"Why?" Greg's tone wasn't too cheerful. Even though he knew that he shouldn't take his anger out onAbigail since this all happened because of Valerie, he was still upset.

She wasn't affected much as she said, "You're not going to lose anything if you bend over."

Greg retracted his expression slightly as he bent over.

Abigail immediately planted a kiss on Greg's lips. Even though it was just a peck, it managed to changethe expressions on Benjamin and Addison's faces.

Benjamin hastily turned around to avoid looking at them and he pulled Addison along with him as well.

Meanwhile, Addison's heart was extremely bitter. Miss Abigail actually kissed Greg in front ofeverybody! What's so good about Greg, anyway?

Greg was stunned, and before Abigail moved to break the kiss, he placed a forceful hand behind herhead. The fiery kiss robbed every breath from the woman.

The two were slightly panting whereas Addison felt as if he was about to go mad. He could only watchas Abigail was being bullied by this man, and he was unable to do anything about it. This feeling wasthe worst.

On the other hand, Abigail didn't know what Addison was thinking. She was finally released afteralmost being suffocated by Greg's kisses.

As Greg gazed at Abigail's slightly reddened face, he said in a hoarse voice, "Two weeks. You have tocome back within two weeks, or I'll go over and take you back."

Knowing that he had compromised, she felt some sweetness in her heart.

"Alright. After all, the Frasers Residence isn't that far from Allie's Garden. We can even video call eachother. Be sure to rest well when I'm not around and don't skip your meals. Also, don't work too hard.Benjamin isn't there just to look pretty; you can let him handle the work. He needs the experience."

Benjamin was pleasantly surprised by Abigail's words, but when he thought about the businessesunder Buckley Group, he frowned.

He really wanted to say he couldn't do it, and that it was too much for him. However, he feared thatGreg might reprimand him, so he simply shut up.

As he listened to Abigail's concern about him, Greg couldn't help but say happily, "Don't forget to sendme videos every day. I can't even eat properly without you."

"It's about time you lose weight, so just eat without me." Abigail grinned as she spoke.

Greg realized that there was a certain light within Abigail's eyes—the sort that reeled people in.

"Take good care of your leg. Amy has been discharged from the hospital, so let her do anything youwant to do. If she can't do it, hire a caretaker. They don't cost too much. Don't tire yourself out, okay?"

"Okay."

Abigail felt that if she remained here, Greg would nag for eternity, so she said, "Let's go, Addison."

He had been waiting for those words. As soon as he heard it, he hastily turned around. He sawAbigail's loving attitude, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart as he glared at Greg with ahostile look.

"Excuse me, Mr. Buckley." Addison's voice was terribly cold.

Greg decided not to argue with a child, so he said to Abigail, "Call me when you've settled down."

"Sure."

Even though it wasn't a permanent parting, both Abigail and Greg felt a little reluctant to part ways.

With that, Addison pushed Abigail out of the hospital and helped her into the car.

As Greg watched the car start, he said a little dejectedly, "Benjamin, what am I supposed to do for thenext two weeks?"

Benjamin didn't dare speak without a thought, so he could only hide his presence.

Greg sighed and got into his own car.

When Abigail arrived at Frasers Residence, Teal was already waiting for her at the door. Amy had alsoreturned and she walked over to Abigail as soon as she saw Abigail.

"Dr. Kain, is your leg alright?" Amy was a little worried.

"I'm fine, and I just need some rest. I'll be depending on you."

"Of course."

Amy pushed Abigail inside.

After placing a few bodyguards, Addison left with a call.

When the children saw that Abigail had returned, they went to greet her. Then, Abigail sent themupstairs to play by themselves. When she saw the grayish green tone in Teal's face, she knew that thetoxin was circulating.

"Let's hurry. We have to get the medicinal bath up and running, as well as prepare for acupuncture. It'snot convenient for me, so I'll tell you how to poke the needles later, Amy. Be sure to remember."Abigail's words stunned the other woman.

Traditional Chinese medicine skills were rarely shared with outsiders unless the recipients weredevoted students. Amy was surprised that Abigail would choose to do it, but it was a pleasant surprise.

"Dr. Kain, are you recognizing me as your student?"

This had always been Amy's wish.

Before this, Abigail had no intention of taking Amy as her student, but the incident with Genevieveopened her eyes to Amy's regards about her, so she could only say, "I'm not much older than you, soyou don't have to call me teacher. Just call me Miss Abigail."

"No, a teacher is a teacher. After this acupuncture, I'll make it official. Please don't say no."

The look in Amy's wet eyes was warm, and Abigail was moved at the sight as well.

"Let's get to work first."

"Yes, Miss Abigail." Amy hastily went and prepared the medicinal bath.

When Teal saw this scene, she smiled and said, "You got yourself a student so quickly, and I've turnedinto a beneficiary instead."

"You have to pay for this. Don't think I'm doing this for free."

Even though Abigail described it like that, she had a faint smile on her lips. There was an air offriendship between them.

"No worries. The Frasers are a wealthy family, so we can pay whatever price you name."

Teal smiled and left to get ready.

Abigail retrieved the treatment plan she drafted out beforehand and after making sure there were noissues, she set to work.

The medicinal bath lasted more than half an hour, then Abigail taught Amy acupuncture. As such, threehours had passed by the time everything had ended. Even though Abigail didn't do it herself, she wasextremely fatigued regardless. It felt like all the energy had drained from her.

Teal was in high spirits, however. When she saw Amy and Abigail looking worse, she hastily told themto rest upstairs, and she would call them when it was time for dinner.

Abigail accepted the offer. After getting upstairs, she heard a notification sound coming from her phone.She casually grabbed her phone and looked at it before her breaths paused. In an instant, her entireface quickly turned red.
