In-hospital Abigail was sitting on the bed she was in her thoughts when she heard a knock. Aunty Mai entered the room while holding a tray in her hand. she placed the tray in front of Abigail. Abigail was surprised to see french toast with some jam, apples and orange juice. it was her favourite breakfast. she took the toast in her hand and placed some apple slices on it then she poured some jam on top and took a big bite. A smile bloomed on her pale face. it felt like ages that she
had such a peaceful and delightful meal. just when she was enjoying herself one took a photo of her smiling face and send it to certain someone.
In lee family villa
everyone was eating peacefully when Allan's phone beeped he took a glance at his phone and frowned then he looked toward his family. everyone was eating their meals. he took his phone and unlocked it. he presses the notification. a photo was opened directly to his phone screen.
"Cough, cough" Alan choked on his food vigorously when he saw that smile. it's been year's since he knew her but never seen this smile of her before. Just when he was in his fantasy. he heard a woman's voice which he hated the most for the past 2 years. "brother in law don't you have some table manners.it's inappropriate to use your phone while eating." Sara remarked making Alan roll his eyes. he put his phone on the side and replied nonchalantly "As a responsible doctor I have to keep attention to all my patients and employees. I can't risk their life just because of some stupid manners and by the way, if you have any problem then Miss Sara Robert you may take your leave now. We don't like intruders in our family."
Sara's face contorted red with anger she clenched her fists in anger and shouted "how dare you call me an intruder. I am your brother's legal wife."
"yeah yeah! how can I forget you are my brother's so-called wife. The wife entered my brother's life through our grandfather. My brother and family can accept you but don't expect it from me." Alan remarked in anger and stood up he took his coat and was ready to leave the place. when he heard a cold voice. "Stop right there." Alan turns around only to face a cold stare. he could feel the chills on his back. "Say sorry," said Aidan.
"huh!!!!!" Alan looked toward his brother unbelievably." why!! I didn't say anything wrong. she is the one who should be saying sorry. she just spoiled my day."
Aidan face darkened he glared at Aidan as if saying 'Fine then don't cry afterwards.' only seeing his looks Alan wanted to cry. he clenched his fists and mumbled "sorry." he then left the house without turning back.
Aidan's eyes didn't leave his brother back until he left the house. he could feel his disappointment in his voice and even when Alan left he could feel that his mother start ignoring him. The rest of breakfast ended just like that. Aidan with his wife and sister in law left after some time. Aidan dropped his wife and his sister in law near a mansion and drove off.
After a long and tiring day, Alan was finally free to go and have chat with Abigail. He knocked before entering. Abigail was sitting on the bed with a book in her hand. Alan walked toward her and sat next to her. he then did a little checkup on her. "You look much better now, you want to go out for a walk?" Alan saw her mood was off and even he need someone to talk to.
Abigail looked toward him in surprise. she smiled and nodded vigorously. it's been already 2 days since she woke up but not for a second she goes out. Alan smiled and held her hand he helped her get up on her feet. he then helped her with sandals which he asked Jin to bought another day. Then they took small steps toward the door. it was already nighttime that's why there wasn't crowded outside. when Abigail went through the corridors she saw some nurses gazing at her and mumbling between themselves. Abigail ignored all of them and walked with Alan while holding his hand. Alan other hand supported her shoulder making sure she don't fall they reached outside the hospital and sat on a bench.
it was a night with clouds covering the sky beauty. Abigail closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A smile bloomed on her beautiful face.
"So are you still single?" Abi eyes widen in his sudden attack of question she looked at him coldly as if asking 'where's that coming from?'
Alan bit his tongue and smile awkwardly, "ok, stupid me. now stop don't give me that look I am already tired of it." Abi rolled her eyes at his behaviour. his image of a spoiled child crossed through her mind and she shook her head in disappointment. he was as annoying as before she thought to herself.
"By the way do you have plans for the future?" Alan voiced it out again but this time he mumbled hesitantly. To his surprise, she shook her head in response which made Alan mood brighten.
For Abigail, she can only trust Alan right now. she had trusted him before and he never betrayed her so it was a relief that he found her. Although it was strange it was also a blessing for her. she was in a daze when she heard Alan saying something.
"Then stay at my place." Abi had a weird expression on her face. She gave him a questioning look."I mean my family villa. I still live with my parent. if you live with us you will be at the safest place in country F. it's dangerous for you to live alone. I can't let you stay by your self at least not until you recover completely."
