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.
It actually hurt to watch that kick, and Stan thought to himself that Harvey’s balls were definitely gone for good. Seth Hedge, however, was still cursing at snapping-it was the first time he lost composure to such an extent! Abigail had been furious at him, but that was because Harvey did something so terrible! He…
Her face and eyes were red and swollen from too much crying. Abigail realized then that she should not have argued with Diarmuid outside her ward-they woke her now. “Sorry.” She felt guilty and annoyed. Right now, Erin should be comforted and protected, and yet here she was, arguing over her own family affairs with…
It would be bizarre if Sheryl did not see through her right then, and she tenderly said, “Whatever Diarmuid said or did, he still cares about you. See? He even asked me to bring you food, worried that you’re not eating.” Abigail felt her chest tighten, and restrained her tears as she asked, “Am I…
“What did he say?” In the end, Erin was still curious about what James thought. “That he’ll come to you when you feel better,” Abigail admitted. However, it was obvious what James wanted to convey. “He’s a good man,” Abigail said. Erin pursed her dry lips. “I’d rather he be terrible. I’d rather not impose.”…
Yolanda stiffened when she heard Abigail, and she did not dare to look around as Abigail strode inside. Left feeling utterly awkward, Yolanda hesitated for a couple heartbeats before giving chase, and tried to explain. “Listen, Director…” Abigail paused then, and leveled her a cool look. “Just do your job and do well.Don’t bother with…
Diarmuid gave her hand a squeeze. “Why get so cagey when we’re married?” “Mr.Althoff.” The bodyguard standing by the car greeted him. He was dressed in black, his hawkish eyes sharp and his figure burly, giving him the appearance of a bullet ready to fire! Diarmuid nodded slightly.You’re my wife’s protection from now on.” “Of…
The director sighed at their vocal concern. *1 didn’t want to worry anyone, but fine. It’s malignant ventricular arrhythmia.* “Sir…?* “That’s enough, I’m fine,” Dennis said sternly-he never told anyone because he did not want them to worry. “Anyway, I’m now announcing that I’m formally retiring, and Abigail here will be your director. Please give…
“Gotcha.” Lulu got up and told him, “Rest well. I’m going now, but I’ll be back tomorrow.” “Yeah.” Martin was the friend of an ex-colleague. She had actually found a position as a forensic doctor here at New Kent through another ex- colleague’s friend, having decided to settle down here for the slow pace. Carrying…
He was doing it… in public! Her face heated up right then, but Diarmuid already withdrew by the time she came to his senses and tried to push him off, as if nothing ever happened, leaving her speechless. The lights in the amusement park were beautiful at night, and there were also programs planned for…
It was late at night, and everything was quiet. But Lulu Adams was unable to sleep, so she was curling into a ball by the window to stare at the stars outside. Bzzt. The phone she left by her feet was vibrating, and she picked it up. “We need you at a crime scene, Lulu.”…
