"The master and Miss Abigail are home, madam."
Adeline started getting nervous. "How do I look, Mrs. Lysandra? Is my hair okay? I don't look sick, do I?Do my clothes fit me?"
Adeline was starting to fumble. She wanted to see Abigail, but she was worried as well. She hadmissed out on Abigail's life for twenty years. It would have been fine if she only missed out on her lifeout of ignorance, but the truth was she knew Abigail existed. She only stayed away from her becauseshe hated Philip. Will she forgive me?
When Abigil came in, the first thing she saw was her mother. She had wanted to see her for a longtime. Adeline kept herself well thanks to her living a life of wealth, and she looked younger than shereally was. Abigail noticed the worry and anxiety in her eyes, and she felt like she could forgive Adelinenow. She let go of most of her grudge after the whole Emma fiasco. She loves me, doesn't she? I cansee she's being really careful with me. She suddenly smiled. "Hey, mom. It's me, your daughter. I'll bein your care now," she said gently.
Adeline froze for a moment, then she hugged Abigail while bursting into tears. "My girl! I'm sorry! I'mso, so sorry."
"It's alright. I'm fine." Abigail felt like crying as well, but she was no longer a teenager. She too was amother. All mothers love their children, right? I can forgive her, right?
Adeline's cries sounded weak, and Abigail knew she must be hurt. "Does your chest hurt? I'm a doctor.Let me take a look."
Adeline was surprised her daughter was a doctor, but she quickly went to her room. "Of course."
Peter felt himself tearing up seeing his family finally reunited.
It was then one of his lackeys came in and whispered, "Sir, Mr. Buckley from Harrion is here. He hurthimself saving Miss Abigail."
"What?" Peter squinted. Greg is here? And he's related to Abiey? "What's the situation? I want everysingle detail, so get to it."
"It's alright." Abigail had just come out of Adeline's room. She heard what Peter said, and she smiled."He's my husband."
"What?" Peter thought he was hearing things. Adeline could understand why Peter was overreacting.She had been with him for years, and she knew about the feud between him and Greg.
She married him? "Um, sweetheart, can you—"
"No." Abigail knew he wanted her to leave him, but she was adamant on making her own relationshipchoices. "We got reunited really late in the game, so I might have kept a few things a secret from youguys. Greg and I have two kids. Both girls, and both four years old. They're adorable. I'll bring themhere soon."
The news came as a bombshell for Peter and Adeline, and they froze.
"We have grandkids now?"
"Yes." Abigail could see they regretted missing out on her life, but it was fine. They could make up forthat by taking part in the girls' lives.
Adeline could not wait to see the girls. "Well, if Abigail says so, then I think we should call Greg over."
Peter wanted to see the girls too, but he was still annoyed by the fact that Greg had been taking a lot ofhis business away over the years. "Hey, I'm his father-in-law. How come I have to invite him? Heshould be here begging for my approval."
Abigail was amused seeing Peter looking miffed. "He hurt himself just to save me, you two. Solomonpunished Hugh, so now I have to take care of Greg. But don't worry. We're technically not married yet,so you can test him as much as you want."
Adeline and Peter were shocked once again.
"You're still not married? Even though you have kids?"
"Yes. I'm not in a hurry."
Well, but I am, Adeline thought. At least worry a little, will you?
"Is this his idea?" Peter asked coldly. I'll kill him and get Abigail another boyfriend if he refuses to marryher.
Abigail knew they were worried, so she said with a smile, "No. It was mine, but now I want to getmarried. You guys go on without me. I need to check up on him."
Greg asked Solomon to get an andrologist over after Abigail left. He had noticed the look of worry onAbigail's face although it had only been there for a moment. They had been together for far too long, sohe knew that his wound was a tough one to tackle.
Solomon wanted to say something, but he decided against it and called a famous andrologist over. Hewanted Greg to get treated as soon as possible.
The doctor came to have a look, and he frowned. "This is going to be hard."
"What's wrong?" Greg's heart skipped a beat.
The doctor said, "The wound's not deep, but it's right on the nerves, and you know the nerves dictatethe boner. I'm not sure if I can heal this."
Greg felt a great weight crushing down on him, tipping him over into the abyss. "What happens if it'snot healed?" He could feel his voice trembling.
The doctor looked at Greg and Solomon. He felt a chill down his spine, but he answered softly, "Youmight never be able to get it up if it doesn't heal."
Greg felt his world shatter into a million pieces, and he felt himself freezing up from the inside. I'm noteven thirty yet. What will happen to Abigail if I can't get it up ever again? How can I give her anyhappiness? This is a joke. I'm the dark emperor of Night Assassino, and now I can't even get it up?
Solomon noticed the dark look on Greg's face, so he quickly sent the doctor away. "Don't worry toomuch. It's just a possibility."
"You know what Hugh wanted to do. He wanted this! And Abigail had this weird look on her face whenshe saw the wound. I know she must have been hiding this from me. If I can't even get it up, I…" He feltlike crying. Shit. I spent so much time pursuing her, and just when I finally thought we're gonna getmarried, this happened. I can't drag her into a sexless marriage. But I can't stand the thought of notmarrying her! Damn you, Hugh! He wanted to tear Hugh apart and make him into mincemeat.
Solomon listened quietly, and he said, "Maybe it's not as serious as you think."
"Of course it's serious! The doctor said he can't cure me!" He was already traumatized to begin with,and the doctor made things worse. "Tell him I'm just a limp dick now! He can stop wasting his time onme! My brother wants that throne? He can have it. I don't care."
Solomon started panicking. "What are you talking about, Greg? Father has always wanted you to takeover Yulstania. Even if you refuse the throne, everyone will still know you're the first in line toYulstania's throne soon. He's been trying a lot of stuff lately, and Father has decided to announce yourstatus as prince to keep things under control."
Greg flew into a rage. "Announce? Announce what? That I can't get it up? I'm already humiliatedenough! I don't need everyone in the Pacific Ocean region to replace out about this."
"Oh shut up. You can still get it up, okay?" Abigail had been listening in for a while now.
Usually, Greg would have noticed her the moment she approached, but he was too preoccupied withhis nightmare, so he did not notice her coming in. Abigail barging into the room made Greg awkward,and he hid himself under the blanket. He had no idea how to face her anymore.
Solomon stared at Abigail, worried. How much did she hear?
Abigail had no plans to keep it a secret. She glanced at Solomon and said, "How did you end up beingadopted by my father if you're a prince?"
Shit. Solomon's face fell.
"Talk, and don't try to do anything funny. I'm your sister-in-law. Touch me and you're dead."
Abigail's threat stopped Solomon from trying anything funny. He was reminded of Hugh's end, and hesaid, "I would never do that."
"Bullsh*t. I'll keep it a secret from Dad, so don't worry. But I can't do it for too long. You'd better talk itout with him. I don't want any complications to arise from this."
"Yes, Abbie." Solomon felt a little frustrated. He was Abigail's brother, but now she became her sister-in-law because his true brother married her. Still, he did not dare to complain. "I'm the youngest prince.My mother ordered a servant to take me away during the unrest that happened in the country to protectme. After that, the servant fell sick and couldn't take care of me anymore, so she brought me to theorphanage. Your father then adopted me."
"How dramatic," Abigail said. "How did you replace out who you really are then?" she asked.
"Greg sent someone to look into my case, and they realized that I resemble him, so we did a DNA testand went through a few trials to confirm that I'm really his brother." Solomon spilled everything withoutreservation. He was not scared of her, though he was worried Greg might get upset. He saw how farGreg would go just for her.
Now that she had the answers she wanted, she said, "Leave us. I need to talk with Greg."
"No! You can't leave!" Greg protested, though his voice was muffled. Abigail kicked his calf.
"Oh, shut up. Are you going out or not?"
Solomon was shocked that Abigail would kick Greg. Is she for real? Did she just kick him? Greg couldkill her!
He waited for a few moments, but Greg did not say anything. In the end, Greg growled, "Get out rightnow! Scram!"
Solomon was shocked, but he scurried away lest he became the only casualty in this little war. The airbecame a lot more awkward after he left.
