Abigail Bernstein was a quiet and obedient girl who seldom say NO to her father’s decisions. Even when it’s about her marriage.
To save their family’s company out of bankruptcy, her father arranged her to marry Diarmuid Althoff, the grandson of a billionaire. But on their wedding day, the groom did not appear. Abigail was disappointed but could do nothing about it.
Alone and boring on wedding night, Abigail accepted to replace her colleague’s shift. At her workplace, the hospital, she saved a wounded man being hunted down by gangsters, and made out with this stranger to blow off steam.
The stranger, however, turned out to be her husband that did not show up at the altar.
Since Remy headquarters was in Franconia, he would not have to keep flying over there too. “If that’s what you think is best,” Sheryl said—she did not want to go abroad, but she would work hard to overcome the language barrier for the sake of her only grandson. After that, Diarmuid returned to his room…
“There’s still work to do in the meantime.” “Okay,” Abigail nodded, and left—she had a surgery scheduled.The instant she left the operating room, Harvey arrived and started to pull her aside. Abigail could not keep up. Keeping a hand on her belly, she snapped, “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t pull…
“Where is she now?”Diarmuid asked. The young doctor shook his head. “I don’t know.Dr.Carr made everyone leave the OR, and we never saw her since.We don’t even know how or where she was transported away.” Diarmuid had thought that he would know something, and yet…He scowled and swept his eyes across the other gathered doctors.”None…
“Get him inside the car.Move.” Robin, however, was clinging tightly to Ian in fear. You’re just Diarmuid Althoff’s lapdog! What right do you have to disobey his grandfather?!” Even as Ian was leaning against Robin’s arm, his lips curled up ina smile. She cared so much about him. He had not lost everything —at the…
“Is this everything?” Abigail nodded, feigning a look of confusion. “Is that lacking?” Dr.Pitt hesitated for a moment, but said, “This is far from everything we have in our research.” “There are things that should be retained here after all,” Abigail replied. “But you’re Zidonian…” “And right now, I’m here in Minerva,” Abigail pointed out.…
Diarmuid saw the woman walking around the circular fountain in front of the hotel. She was wearing a khaki trench coat with a white floral dress, and her black mini boots were short enough to bare her fair legs. Despite being heavily pregnant, she was not swelling up. Her black hair was spread over her…
Abigail’s eyes welled with tears. “Don’t look. It’s ugly.” She certainly did not like the way he stared, taking in her ugliest state. Diarmuid simply gathered her in his arms, his face pressing against the burned side of her face and whispering gently into her ear, “It isn’t.” Abigail knew very well how she looked.…
“Sorry, she can get a little talkative—” “Why didn’t you tell me?” Abigail felt guilty after hearing what Hannah had to say, and was naturally uncomfortable that Diarmuid had forced Stephen into retirement. Nonetheless, Stephen chuckled. “I’m going to retire eventually.” “But your career. You should have retired as a doctor decorated with honors…” “Those…
He certainly was aware that they had trust issues, or she would not have done everything she could to run away from him just because of something he said. That was why he would do his best to avoid giving her the sense that he had something to hide from her. James then explained, “Blue…
“What are you doing here?” Mark sighed. “I didn’t get an invitation, but I really wanted to be here, so…” “Got it,” Abigail replied. “Come with me.” Mark was surprised. “You can get me in?” He even tried to pull strings, but he simply could not make it in. Abigail turned and gave him a…
