"What happened?" Greg was taken aback.
After the armies surrounded the hospital, he saw a familiar-looking figure walking out of the crowdarrogantly.
"Who would dare to obstruct Young Master Ethan? Do they not know how powerful I am?"
Upon hearing that, Greg harrumphed coldly before he asked nonchalantly, "How powerful are you?"
Immediately, that figure paused. When the figure saw Greg standing in front of them, they were takenaback before their leg trembled while cold sweat started forming around their forehead. "M-Mr. Buckley!Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? You really made an entrance, huh, Tristan Nolan? Did you transfer everyone inthe area here? What's all this? What are you trying to do? You're in Marona now. Are you trying toincite a war?" Greg asked casually. Although his voice wasn't loud, Tristan was terrified and quicklykneeled on the ground.
"That's funny, Mr. Buckley. I wouldn't dare to do so with you here."
"I see. I was still thinking that you're trying to attack me since you came barging into my friend's place."
Upon hearing that, Triston felt like he was about to faint, as he only came with his men to destroy thehospital after receiving Ethan's call and didn't know that this was Greg's friend's hospital.
Right then, he narrowed his eyes and looked around to replace Ethan, as Ethan would surely protect him ifhe was here. However, he was stunned when he saw Ethan kneeling on the ground.
Tristan knew how prideful Ethan was, and he couldn't believe it when he saw Ethan sweating like crazywhile kneeling under the sun. What is happening?!
At this moment, he rubbed his eyes as he thought that he saw things wrongly, but Ethan was stillkneeling there. Immediately, the way Tristan looked at Greg changed.
"Mr. Buckley, I suddenly remember that I still have things to tend to. I'll take my leave now."
"Scram."
Although Greg wasn't in a good mood, he couldn't throw a tantrum at Abigail's hospital, so he couldonly let Tristan leave before he started feeling worse.
After getting Greg's approval, Tristan quickly signaled his men before leaving without any hesitation.
"Hang on." Greg's calm voice suddenly rang out.
Tristan felt like he was going to pee his pants. "Do you need anything else, Mr. Buckley?"
"I asked you to scram, not walk. Didn't you understand what I said? Do you want me to repeat aftermyself?"
Although he couldn't tell what Greg was thinking about, he could still feel a chilling sensation at theback of his neck from how Greg sounded. Without putting up a fight, Tristan got down and rolled out ofGreg's sight.
On the other hand, Abigail, who was initially asleep, had to get up to move around, as she wassuffering from a stomach ache. In the end, she witnessed everything that had happened from herwindow.
Although Greg was standing under the shades right then, his aura was hard to hide, and he was like areincarnation of the demon himself. At that moment, he looked really handsome. Nevertheless, Abigailfelt that the aura Greg was releasing wasn't an aura that a chairman should have.
Although there wasn't much fluctuation of emotions, he still influenced everyone else's emotionsaround him. This reminded her of Hugh.
At this moment, what was happening in front of her was similar to when Greg had a standoff with Hughand his men, but Greg was way more charismatic than Hugh. Is he from that side of the world as well?
In the past, Abigail never questioned Greg's identity and thought that he was just a chairman of arandom company. What's so great about being rich, anyway?
However, her eyes narrowed thoughtfully when she watched the scene unfolding in front of her. If Greghas a complicated background, would it be safe for the children to be with him?
Abigail felt worried when she recalled what happened to Alissa in Rorea and realized that it was time todo a background check on Greg.
While she contemplated to herself, Greg's private chef arrived. When Greg's chef wanted to send thefood inside, Greg quickly went over to take the food and entered Abigail's office.
"Why didn't you rest? Didn't you say that you're tired? What's so nice out there?"
Then, he placed the lunchbox on her office desk before opening it. Immediately, the delicious scent ofthe food filled every inch of the room, causing Abigail to feel even hungrier.
Still, she gave Greg a look before replying nonchalantly, "I was looking at you."
Upon hearing that, Greg was taken aback before he felt his blood pumping. He had never felt his wayin his entire life, and he was starting to feel like he was losing a sense of himself.
"Why were you looking at me?"
Although Greg quickly lowered his head to grab utensils for Abigail, the corner of his lips still lifted upunconsciously.
Not noticing the change in his facial expression, Abigail pondered for a moment before asking, "Whoare you really?"
"Who else can I be? Do you still not know who I am after sleeping with me?" Greg answered in a jokingmanner while Abigail's face flushed instantly.
He suddenly thought that Abigail was really a feminine person. In fact, he still couldn't recover fromwhat happened that night five years ago. "Ahem, you should eat now. I'm going out to smoke."
Meanwhile, Abigail didn't expect Greg to get embarrassed and tried to leave. Right then, she couldn'thelp but feel that Greg was being really adorable like this and smiled. As everything in the lunchboxwas her favorite, her stomach felt comforted as she ate.
By the time she finished her lunch, half an hour had already passed by. Since Ethan had kneeled forhalf an hour as promised, Abigail didn't feel the need to be patronizing anymore. Besides, Zoe'scondition really wasn't looking good at all.
After washing her hands, Abigail left her office. "Amy, prepare for the operation and get me my sparesurgical gown," she instructed while walking.
When Abigail walked past Greg, she paused for a moment and said, "Get your girlfriend to pay me formy surgical gown. All of my surgical gowns are specially made, and I won't use things that others usedbefore because I'm a clean freak."
Then, she walked away and left Greg stunned to the ground.
Just then, he couldn't help but feel like Abigail was making an indirect jab at him. Things that othersused before? I'm not a 'thing', so it doesn't count, does it? Greg pondered before realizing thatsomething wasn't right.
How am I not a thing?! Why would I always get confused by myself when I speak to her? What apatronizing woman.
He shook his head and watched as Abigail entered the operation theater. Then, he noticed that Ethanhad already gotten up before contacting Troy.
"Troy, can you check where Abigail gets her surgical gowns custom-made? I want you to order ten setsof surgical gowns for her under my private bank account."
"Alright." Troy quickly went to carry out Greg's instruction.
Meanwhile, Genevieve had been waiting purposely in an area near the hospital, as she was still waitingfor Greg to run after her and beg her for forgiveness. However, her facial expression darkened whenGreg didn't show up or try to contact her anymore, and when she saw Greg's private chef entering thehospital with lunchboxes, her face contorted in anger.
Is he seriously sending food prepared by his private chef for that b*tch? I had never tried the foodprepared by that chef!
Immediately, Genevieve got jealous and stomped back to the hospital angrily. Right at that moment,she overheard Greg contacting Troy to order ten more sets of surgical gowns for Abigail.
At that moment, Genevieve felt like she was about to combust from anger. Shouldn't this be how hetreats me, his girlfriend? How dare he do all this for that woman?! She doesn't even deserve all this!Then, she strutted over furiously.
"Greg, you've crossed the line this time!"
Genevieve snatched Greg's phone away from him before smashing it onto the ground and stomping onit until it broke into pieces to vent her anger.
Meanwhile, Greg frowned as he watched Genevieve's childish action before a hint of anger flashedacross his gaze and disappeared as soon as it appeared. "What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? You're the one who sent meals for that woman and ordered custom-made surgicalgowns for her! Did you fall in love with her?" Genevieve had an accusing look on her face.
On the other hand, Greg felt his heart skipping a beat when he heard what Genevieve said. Have Ifallen in love with her? Of course, I have. How could I not love her for giving birth to two adorable babygirls for me?
When Genevieve noticed that Greg wasn't saying anything, she started to panic. In the past, Gregwould always deny it when she made accusations like that and try his best to cheer her up, but heactually went quiet this time. Although he didn't answer her question, his silence made Genevieveanxious.
"Greg, are you trying to break up with me?"
"If you want—"
"I don't want to, and I won't break up with you! Listen clearly, Greg Buckley, I won't break up with youeven if I don't love you! You're mine forever, and that b*tch who likes you can rot in hell! Hmph!" shesnapped before turning around to leave, not forgetting to kick the smashed phone away disdainfully.
Unfortunately, the phone flew away and smashed into the window in the corridor. With a loud smash,the window broke before glass shards fell all over the ground.
However, Genevieve raised her chin up in satisfaction before giving Greg a provocation look andstrutted away.
At this moment, Greg felt his head aching. Genevieve had been acting like this since she was 13 yearsold, and she was still acting the same way even though she was 25 years old now. He had beensucking up to her in order to pursue her ever since he was 13, and he was starting to get tired of it aftermore than a decade of doing so. Moreover, Genevieve was the one in the wrong this time.
Staring at the smashed phone on the ground, Greg was reminded of his embarrassing experience withhis first love.
"Get someone to clean this up and change the window. I don't want Abigail to get pissed off when shesees this after her operation," Greg instructed one of his bodyguards in a tired and helpless mannerbefore the bodyguard quickly left to carry out Greg's commands.
On the other hand, Ethan had already gotten up ever since Abigail entered the operation theater. Uponseeing how Greg tolerated Genevieve causing a ruckus, he started pondering about how Greg lost allhis edges around her, although he was notorious for acting like a devil's reincarnation.
Ethan refused to believe that the two of them weren't in love with each other and thought that he hadfinally found Greg's weakness. Right then, he lowered his head before a small smile appeared on hisface.
