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.
Neil’s lawyer certainly questioned that statement. “That’s merely an excuse. Are you saying that the patient would have died if the surgery was not performed?” Abigail’s lawyer in turn provided everything from physical evidence to material witness. Ray Hall, one of the doctors in charge during the surgery, was willing to testify for Abigail as…
Still, Neil soon noticed that something was not right. “Where did you get that blood?” he asked Stan—the man was perfectly fine earlier. Why would he suddenly start bleeding?! “Still trying to set me up?! Don’t forget that there were cameras. The footage will prove that you weren’t bleeding when I ran into you!” he…
Abigail was relieved to hear him answer. “What was that?” “Just James venting,” he flatly replied. Abigail quickly understood what had happened and did not ask anything else. “I might be home late tonight,” he added. “Oh,” Abigail murmured. “Actually, I was just going to tell you that there’s no one at home. We’re all…
Abigail had trouble sleeping, but after the exertion, she slept like a log. … It was morning, and the sun slowly rose, its rays creeping through the gaps between the curtains. In their bedroom, their clothes were thrown messily on the floor. There was a man’s suit, a shirt, a belt, a pair of trousers,…
Abigail’s heart sank—she did not expect them to renege on their agreement! Still, she came to realize something after this incident. Not everyone was capable of being nice. In fact, they were simply unreasonable! “Understood,” she flatly said and hung up. However, she did not call Diarmuid—the matter was utterly resolved now that Dennis had…
How?! Dennis was just fine when she arrived! That was when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. “What’s wrong?” Finn asked. Abigail continued to clutch at her stomach, her back arched from the pain. “Stomach ache… but it really hurts… But right now, you’re coming with me to the hospital. We need to…
Diarmuid found it fishy too, while she continued, “The examination after he woke up proved that he was healthy. Ray Hall was watching even though I did not personally examine him, and I trust Ray’s character and competence.” Still staring at her, Diarmuid asked, “Are you saying that he died, but not because of the…
With that, they headed out of the station, with Eagle helping with the luggage. Martin rode shotgun with Eagle as he drove, while Abigail and Lulu had a chat in the back. “It’s been a while, and you’ve changed a whole lot.” Abigail smiled and reached out to touch Lulu’s belly. “How many months?” “Eight,”…
“It’s my treat when there’s a chance,” Martin replied. “That’s enough.” Abigail shoved Zachary. Zachary turned around and shot her a look. “Oh, you look so spooked.” Abigail, however, was really upset. “That’s enough from you.” With that, Zachary stopped being weird, but he allowed his eyes to linger on Lulu before striding outside. Abigail…
Diarmuid already thought about it, and told her, “I told James to save it already. You can check it anytime.” “Can you give it to me now?” Abigail asked. Diarmuid heaved a long sigh—he knew she would not be sleeping if he refused. “I’ll send it to your phone.” “I want to see it when…
