Not One, But Two!

Chapter 89

"Greg, take the flowers away!" Abigail backed away quickly, holding her nose.

Greg was puzzled, and he took another step forward, clueless to the lines he was stepping over. "Wait, I'm apologizing to you sincerely. Don't take this for granted. You know that throughout all of Harrion, there are only a few women I would apologize to."

"Take the damned flowers away!" Abigail panicked and began coughing.

"What's wrong?"

Before Greg could understand what was going on, Abigail kicked the flowers outside, then sprinted away.

"Hey, Abigail. That's too much!"

Greg was a little pissed now. If it weren't for his daughter, he wouldn't take this sitting down.

Abigail ran to Alissa's room to get the medicine kit, and Arianna and Alissa were both surprised.

"Daddy, what happened?"

"Who knows what came over your mommy? Now I made her upset. I went for a walk and decided to get her a bouquet of roses as an apology, but she refused to take it, and even kicked the roses away. What sort of woman is she?"

Greg felt terribly wronged in front of his daughters.

Alissa widened her eyes. "You bought roses for Mommy?"

"Yes, don't all women like that sort of thing?" Greg spoke matter-of-factly.

Arianna facepalmed. "Daddy, Mommy is allergic to roses!"

Arianna thought that her daddy was really, really dumb. Indeed, he didn't even know that her mommy was allergic to roses.

Greg froze. "How can that be? She has lilies in her room, and aren't lilies and roses both flowers?"

"Grass and vegetables are both green, but can you eat grass?"

Greg couldn't say anything in response to Alissa's retort.

"Allie, you—"

"What? Go to Mommy right now. What do we do with you? You don't even know what your own woman is allergic to. Are you really my father?"

Alissa didn't sugarcoat her words at all.

Even though she loved her daddy and wanted to stay with him forever, she absolutely wouldn't allow him to hurt her mommy.

Seeing his elder daughter's look of disdain, Greg could only walk in as he was told to.

"Get out!"

Abigail's skin was itching terribly, but Alissa didn't have any medicine that could help with allergies. When she saw Greg walking in, she was instantly furious.

Does this man want to torture me so much?

When Greg saw Abigail's face, he swore that he didn't laugh on purpose, but he just couldn't help it.

Abigail's face was full of red bumps, and she looked very much like a clown. Instantly, he burst out laughing.

"Greg Buckley!"

Abigail felt her anger blasting out of control.

Does this man still have any conscience in him?

No!

He's definitely doing it on purpose!

"How dare you laugh? I'll give you something to laugh about!"

In her exasperation, Abigail pushed Greg over like a child, then reached out toward his armpits and began tickling him.

Caught unawares, Greg laughed even louder.

"Dang, hahaha, stop! Stop right now! Sheesh, hahaha!"

He laughed like an idiot, and he laughed so much that he was out of breath.

No!

If he allowed Abigail to tickle any longer, he'd become the first man to die of laughter.

Laughing, Greg threatened, "Abigail, I'm warning you, stop right now, or else… Hahaha…"

Abigail was fuming.

He'd better laugh to death.

Realizing that Abigail didn't have any intentions of stopping, Greg turned around and pinned her under him instead.

"Stop fooling around! Your face is swelling; I'll take you to the hospital."

He swiftly locked Abigail's hands. With her hands bound, Abigail kicked him.

"I'm not going! How could I go to the hospital like this? I'll ruin my reputation."

She didn't have to look in the mirror to figure out what she looked like.

Greg held in his laughter as he said, "It's okay. I'll cover you so that no one can see you."

"I'm not going! And that's final! Let go of me, Greg!"

"I'm not letting go! You'll tickle me if I do!"

He would be a fool to let go of this wild kitten.

Furious, Abigail lowered her head and clamped her teeth on his wrist.

"Damn, are you a dog or something?"

Greg shouted in pain.

"Let go! I'll kiss you if you don't," Greg replied threateningly.

Abigail didn't believe he would dare to kiss her because, with her face like that, he would definitely have better faces to kiss.

Seeing Abigail's refusal to back off, Greg leaned in and got entangled with Abigail. Then, his slightly cool, thin lips pressed against Abigail's mouth.

Boom! Something seemed to have exploded in her head.

Abigail was stunned.

It was a feeling she hadn't felt in a long time, and the familiar aura wrapped around her, teleporting her to the alley five years ago.

Both her and Greg's breaths were slightly disturbed.

Alissa covered Arianna's eyes and mumbled, "This show is not for kids. Let's go."

"Isn't Daddy bullying Mommy?" Arianna was a little worried.

Alissa flicked her forehead, saying, "Silly! Let's just go!"

"But Allie…" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"No buts. Close the door."

Alissa had Arianna close the door right away.

Abigail regained her senses only after hearing her younger daughter's voice. She pushed Greg away with all her might, her face burning, as if the allergic reactions were getting worse.

"Don't ever kiss me in front of the children again."

Abigail thought she had been shamed to the core. How could she have let Greg take advantage of her just like that?

Greg licked his lips, tasting something sweet and soft, like pudding. It was the exact same sensation he felt five years ago.

Every cell in his body was screaming for him to continue, and that thought had been turning up more frequently these days.

As Greg looked at Abigail's fuming face, he suddenly felt a warmth inside him. He pulled her closer, and before she could react, he carried her in his arms and left the room.

"Hm? Daddy, where are you taking Mommy?" Alissa was about to tell Arianna everything she knew when she saw Greg carrying Abigail as he walked out. So, she couldn't help but ask.

"I'm taking your mommy to see a doctor. Be good at home, all right? Where's your grandma?"

It was only then that Greg realized he hadn't seen Valerie since his return.

Arianna hastily said, "Grandma went out for some business. She said she'll be back at night."

"Oh, then be good and stay home. Don't go out, okay? We'll be right back."

Greg walked out of the door, still carrying Abigail in his arms.

Abigail couldn't convince this man, so she scrambled to find something she could hide her face with because she felt terribly embarrassed.

She was a doctor herself, but now she was going to see a doctor with her face swollen like that. She would be the joke of the town!

"Greg, I hate you so much!" She reached out and pinched Greg's waist.

"Ow—Abigail, why did you pinch me!"

"You deserved it."

Abigail was so mad that she was close to tears.

Greg inhaled deeply, telling himself that he shouldn't fight with a woman.

After getting into the car, Greg placed her in the passenger seat.

Abigail wanted to wrap herself up so that no one could recognize her.

Soon, Greg started the car, then made a call to Cody.

"Where are you?"

"At the hospital. Why?"

"Abigail got allergic reactions, so get your wife to prepare some drugs for that. I'll go get it from you right away, or we can go to her as well."

Greg voiced his demands right away.

Cody was a little upset. "Are you out of your mind? Abigail is the best surgeon in the world, and you have to trouble my wife for something minor, like allergies?"

"Yes, I have to. What can you do about it? We have a patient here, so are you treating her or not? If you don't, I can make a complaint."

Greg's words didn't rub Cody the right way.

"Dang, you're too much. Make all the complaints you want. I'm not treating her. What are you going to do about it?"

"Fine, Cody, I'll tell the military that you allowed someone to die. Don't think I fear a mere soldier like you."

Cody was speechless.

What sort of person is this?!

"Gillian is at the military hospital. Just get lost as soon as you get the medicine."

"You're talking like I'm interested in your wife or something."

With that, Greg ended the call.

Abigail didn't know who he was talking to, but she was envious of the friendship they had.

Noticing her gaze, Greg thought she was worried about her face, so he hastily explained, "Don't worry, Cody is my bro. We grew up together, and his wife is a doctor in the military hospital. I heard she was pretty skilled, so I asked for her to get some medicine for you."

"You have friends in the military?"

Abigail was immediately full of questions.

Greg said gleefully. "Yup. I wanted to be a soldier myself, but my application was rejected. I guess it's reasonable, considering my background and all. I could only watch as he went to the military camps in his uniform, and now he's even a second lieutenant. If I could go, I would definitely get a position higher than his, and he wouldn't have any excuse to show off in front of me."

"I'm glad you didn't go, or you'll wreak havoc everywhere."

Abigail's disdainful words caused Greg to feel a little upset.

As they talked, the two arrived at the military hospital.

Gillian had already received word from Cody that Greg was coming, so she went out hastily.

"Come with me, Mr. Buckley." Gillian smiled as she welcomed them.

She gave Abigail's face a look and smiled as she said, "It's fine. You handled the reaction well. I'll get some medicine for you."

With that, Gillian walked out of the office.

Abigail sat where she was and looked at the medical books on Gillian's office desk, and she didn't think much time had gone by.

When Gillian came back, a doctor was following her. Abigail didn't manage to see their face properly before she heard Gillian say, "Apply this ointment thrice per day and take this medicine thrice a day as well. Don't eat anything spicy when you're recovering. I'm sure you know that."

"Yes, understood." Abigail nodded.

Just then, the doctor behind Gillian gave her a push. Caught unawares, Gillian stumbled into Abigail's arms.

"Wow, Gillian, you're not picky with partners at all, are you? Does Cody know of this?"

The familiar voice caused Abigail to frown immediately.
