Not One, But Two!

Chapter 134

Seeing how unpredictable Abigail's demeanor was, Quinn was so anxious that he didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. Nevertheless, the slightest glimmer of hope bloomed in him. Perhaps, Dr. Kain is able to perform surgery on my wife!

He was still hung up on the idea of surgery. On the other hand, Abigail had already released her grip on Teal.

Even though only such a short time had passed, Teal was already drenched in sweat. She was so weak that she looked like she could collapse at any time. In addition, Abigail's nose was filled with a faint stench when a gentle breeze blew by. This scent allowed her to make a rough diagnosis. "Mr. Milburn, your wife has been poisoned."

As soon as those words left Abigail's mouth, Quinn blanked out in shock.

"What did you say!?"

He tried to stand up, only for Troy to pin him to the ground by stepping on him.

"Mr. Milburn, I've said this before: Please cooperate with us."

"No!" Teal couldn't help feeling heartbroken when she saw how Quinn was being treated because of her.

Meanwhile, Abigail studied the husband and wife. She was unable to determine whether the love between them was real or fake. As she mentioned earlier, Teal's body was inoperable; she would die on the operating table if she underwent surgery. Most men would not be so radical. However, Quinn had not only refused to listen to Abigail but also kidnapped her to force her to perform surgery on Teal.

The most suspicious point was that the poison in Teal's body was a slow-acting poison. In other words, she had been chronically poisoned for many years.

A sudden thought popped up in Abigail's head. Could it be that Mr. Milburn actually wants his wife to die?

The look in her eyes turned marginally colder when that thought crossed her mind. By the time she looked at him again, there was no warmth left in her eyes.

"I can't save your wife. She is on the verge of death, and I will not involve myself with a patient like this. However, you disgust me very much. I can't let you bring your wife back just so you can find another chance to disrupt my life again. Let's do things this way instead—I will take your wife with me. If you don't disturb me for the next two weeks, then I will send her back. But, if you cause trouble for me, then I cannot guarantee whether your wife will live."

Her words stunned both Quinn and Teal.

"Dr. Kain, that's kidnapping!" Quinn was the first to recover from his shock. A trace of hostility flashed across his eyes quickly.

She sneered at those words. "You talk as if you didn't kidnap me yourself. What's the matter? You can kidnap me, but I can't keep your wife with me for a few days?"

What an arrogant question! Even so, he could not think of anything to say in response.

Although Greg had no idea what Abigail was up to, he could see that she had made up her mind. Thus, he stood up lazily from the chair and turned to Troy. "Has the video of Mr. Milburn kidnapping my woman been saved?"

"Yes, it has, Mr. Buckley."

"Send it to Mr. Milburn." Greg walked over to Quinn and sneered. "My woman is not discussing this matter with you; she is informing you about her decision. Got it?"

After he finished speaking and cast him a look, he took Teal away with him.

"My wife! Let go of my wife!" Quinn struggled, but he was firmly pinned underfoot by Troy. His expression was particularly miserable.

Teal looked like she wanted to say something, but her body refused to listen to her and she fainted.

On another note, the annoyance and hostility that flashed through Quinn's eyes did not escape Abigail's notice. As far as she was concerned, she did not like troublesome matters. At the same time, she did not wish to see a life withering in front of her either. Since I've already met this person, I might as well just consider it as doing a good deed.

She glanced at Greg and calmly said, "Let that man go. I'm hungry."

"Let's go. I will bring you out for dinner." Greg's ruthless facial features immediately softened considerably. He quickly stepped forward, wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and walked out with her very intimately.

Troy felt a little sick in the stomach. Can I refuse to witness these inexplicable lovey-dovey acts!?

Troy felt a little sick in the stomach. Can I refuse to witness these inexplicable lovey-dovey acts!?

Noticing that Quinn was staring at Greg's back pensively, Troy kindly gave Quinn some advice. "Dr. Kain is the person Mr. Buckley loves the most in his life. If you're smart, you'll find that it's best not to provoke him. Otherwise, it'll be too late for regrets in the future. This is my sincere advice to you, buddy."

After saying that, he released Quinn and left with the others.

Abigail got into the car and glanced frowningly at Teal, who had fallen unconscious. Where should I put her?

Greg noticed the frown on Abigail's face and asked puzzledly, "Why did you take in such a sickly and dying person?"

"I suspect she is being poisoned by Mr. Milburn, which resulted in her body becoming the way it is now. Although I have no idea if I can save her, I don't wish for her to die right in front of me for no reason now that I've met her."

He felt touched by her words. The business he ran was very different, so he had long been trained to be ruthless. Be that as it may, he never expected for her to be so soft and kind on the inside when she looked so cold and arrogant on the outside.

In the past, he would have thought of women like her as nothing but fools. He felt that the life or death of other people was none of his business; it was enough so long as he lived his own life and minded his own business.

But in any case, she was his woman now, so it didn't matter whether she was foolish or stupid. In the worst case, he would just have to support her from behind. With that thought in mind, he glanced at Teal indifferently and asked, "Do you need any background information on Mr. Milburn?"

"If you can get your hands on it, yes. Thank you."

Abigail smiled brightly. Her smile was so dazzling that Greg immediately felt as though hundreds of flowers were blooming in front of him, and his heart throbbed in response. Without warning, he grabbed her by the back of her head and pulled her in for a kiss.

On the other hand, she almost wanted to throw her hands up in exasperation at this man who kissed her without a warning. She was finally released just as she was about to suffocate. Glaring at him

angrily, she said, "Don't ever kiss me in public again."

"Can't do it!"

"You—"

Before she could finish her sentence, he stepped on the accelerator and drove off. Cheerful music filled the inside of the car. It could be seen just how good a mood he was currently in.

All of a sudden, she remembered about Arianna and asked somewhat worriedly, "How is Aria?"

"I've asked Mrs. Broddes to take care of her. Since I didn't receive any phone calls, Aria is probably fine. Where do you plan to send this woman?"

She considered her options briefly. The security at Allie's Garden is more reliable. "Let's send her to the villa at Allie's Garden."

Greg was a little unhappy when he heard that Teal was going to be sent back to Allie's Garden. However, he knew Abigail's temperament. She would not change her mind once she had decided on something. Thus, he involuntarily glanced at the unconscious Teal, whose dull complexion indicated that she was terminally ill. He was honestly very unwilling to bring such an unlucky person into his home.

"Why don't we find some place else for her? I'll send somebody to watch her."

Abigail replied without even looking up, "No. I have to detoxify her."

"She didn't ask you to do anything. Aren't you just asking for trouble?" If you have the time, why don't you spend it with me instead? he muttered to himself in his heart.

Unfortunately, she didn't even look at him. She searched up something on her phone and simultaneously murmured softly, "Don't look for me for the next few days unless it's for something important."

Huh? Am I being abandoned? He immediately felt so depressed that he could die. "Abigail Kain, you are my girlfriend!"

Troy felt o little sick in the stomoch. Con I refuse to witness these inexplicoble lovey-dovey octs!?

Noticing thot Quinn wos storing ot Greg's bock pensively, Troy kindly gove Quinn some odvice. "Dr. Koin is the person Mr. Buckley loves the most in his life. If you're smort, you'll find thot it's best not to provoke him. Otherwise, it'll be too lote for regrets in the future. This is my sincere odvice to you, buddy."

After soying thot, he releosed Quinn ond left with the others.

Abigoil got into the cor ond glonced frowningly ot Teol, who hod follen unconscious. Where should I put her?

Greg noticed the frown on Abigoil's foce ond osked puzzledly, "Why did you toke in such o sickly ond dying person?"

"I suspect she is being poisoned by Mr. Milburn, which resulted in her body becoming the woy it is now. Although I hove no ideo if I con sove her, I don't wish for her to die right in front of me for no reoson now thot I've met her."

He felt touched by her words. The business he ron wos very different, so he hod long been troined to be ruthless. Be thot os it moy, he never expected for her to be so soft ond kind on the inside when she looked so cold ond orrogont on the outside.

In the post, he would hove thought of women like her os nothing but fools. He felt thot the life or deoth of other people wos none of his business; it wos enough so long os he lived his own life ond minded his own business.

But in ony cose, she wos his womon now, so it didn't motter whether she wos foolish or stupid. In the worst cose, he would just hove to support her from behind. With thot thought in mind, he glonced ot Teol indifferently ond osked, "Do you need ony bockground informotion on Mr. Milburn?"

"If you con get your honds on it, yes. Thonk you."

Abigoil smiled brightly. Her smile wos so dozzling thot Greg immediotely felt os though hundreds of flowers were blooming in front of him, ond his heort throbbed in response. Without worning, he grobbed her by the bock of her heod ond pulled her in for o kiss.

On the other hond, she olmost wonted to throw her honds up in exosperotion ot this mon who kissed her without o worning. She wos finolly releosed just os she wos obout to suffocote. Gloring ot him ongrily, she soid, "Don't ever kiss me in public ogoin."

"Con't do it!"

"You—"

Before she could finish her sentence, he stepped on the occelerotor ond drove off. Cheerful music filled the inside of the cor. It could be seen just how good o mood he wos currently in.

All of o sudden, she remembered obout Arionno ond osked somewhot worriedly, "How is Ario?"

"I've osked Mrs. Broddes to toke core of her. Since I didn't receive ony phone colls, Ario is probobly fine. Where do you plon to send this womon?"

She considered her options briefly. The security ot Allie's Gorden is more relioble. "Let's send her to the villo ot Allie's Gorden."

Greg wos o little unhoppy when he heord thot Teol wos going to be sent bock to Allie's Gorden. However, he knew Abigoil's temperoment. She would not chonge her mind once she hod decided on something. Thus, he involuntorily glonced ot the unconscious Teol, whose dull complexion indicoted thot she wos terminolly ill. He wos honestly very unwilling to bring such on unlucky person into his home.

"Why don't we find some ploce else for her? I'll send somebody to wotch her."

Abigoil replied without even looking up, "No. I hove to detoxify her." Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"She didn't osk you to do onything. Aren't you just osking for trouble?" If you hove the time, why don't you spend it with me insteod? he muttered to himself in his heort.

Unfortunotely, she didn't even look ot him. She seorched up something on her phone ond simultoneously murmured softly, "Don't look for me for the next few doys unless it's for something importont."

Huh? Am I being obondoned? He immediotely felt so depressed thot he could die. "Abigoil Koin, you ore my girlfriend!"

"It's more important to detoxify her! I'm busy!" Her eyebrows were furrowed slightly as she studied something on her phone. All her replies to him were so half-hearted that they drove him mad with rage.

Does this woman have any self-awareness of how to be somebody's girlfriend!? Nevertheless, he suppressed his rage when he saw how tired she looked and quickly sent Teal to her house in Allie's Garden.

Meanwhile, Abigail made a phone call and asked Amy to return. After that, she borrowed some men from Greg to act as bodyguards outside the villa. Lifting her arm, she glanced at her watch. Four hours have passed since Arianna fell into the water. Since there have been no phone calls so far, she is probably doing fine.

She mulled over things for a bit. I'm worried that Mr. Milburn might make a desperate attempt to come and rescue Teal. Would the children be implicated in the situation? Unable to help herself, she turned to the obviously fuming man beside her and asked, "Do you have any other villas? We can send Aria and Allie there."

"Are you afraid that I won't be able to keep the children safe?" Greg asked through gritted teeth. If this woman dares to say yes, I'll definitely make her sorry! I will!

Upon hearing the sound of gnashing teeth, she raised her head slightly and immediately saw his furious expression of being abandoned and doubted. She burst out laughing in response. "I'm going to detoxify her, so I'm worried that it'll be detrimental for the children if they are too close. You know how Aria's condition is. The air quality requirements due to her asthma are insanely high. It has nothing to do with whether or not you can protect them. Besides, how can you possibly fail to protect your daughter?"

Her last sentence calmed the rage burning in his heart. Doesn't that mean she thinks that I'm awesome? With that thought in mind, he calmed down significantly. "I've already had the other villas renovated. I'll ask Troy if the renovations have been completed. If they are done, then I will send the children over. I'll ask Mrs. Nova to go with them so that somebody will be there to take care of them."

"Okay." The arrangements he made did not worry her in the slightest.

Amy arrived soon, which surprised Greg. "Weren't you at Marona?"

"Dr. Kain asked me to return last night. She mentioned that there was something for me to do."

Her answer was neither humble nor arrogant, which astonished him once more. Usually, most women would hold affection in their eyes whenever they saw him. Both Amy and Abigail sure are temperamental. How can they be so indifferent toward me? Although he was very curious about this matter, he did not try to get to the bottom of things. No matter how arrogant Abigail's people were, he could tolerate them as long as they did not cause trouble for him.

Seeing that Amy was here, Abigail issued instructions in a soft voice. "Prepare a large wooden barrel for a medicinal bath. Later, I will prescribe some medicine. Arrange for somebody to prepare them. The medicinal bath should be prepared inside the wooden barrel according to the proportions given. Then, let Teal soak in the medicinal bath for an hour—not a minute more and not a minute less. I will return as soon as possible."

"Okay." Amy did not have any other inquiries, so she simply did as Abigail instructed.

After Abigail prescribed the medicine needed, she changed into a new set of clothes. She frowned slightly when she saw Greg smoking by the side. Without a warning, she immediately stepped forward, pulled the cigarette out of his mouth, and extinguished it. "No smoking at my place!"

Her words left Greg feeling slightly stunned for a moment. Then, he responded with a smirk. "Okay. I will do whatever you say, wifey."

Her face flushed slightly when she heard him calling her 'wifey', but she did not refute his words.

At this moment, his phone rang without warning. Thinking that it might be related to Arianna, she immediately became worried.
