Not One, But Two!

Chapter 79

Abigail's face darkened, as she really didn't like this man.

At the same time, Ethan's facial expression darkened as well. Then, he turned to face his assistant beside him. "I remember telling you that I don't want to see this woman anymore."

"Yes, Young Master Ethan," the assistant replied and gave the bodyguards a look before all five of the tough-looking bodyguards gathered around Abigail.

Right then, Abigail was so pissed off that she let out a laugh. "Are you sure that you want me to leave?"

Nevertheless, Ethan only gave her a look without even bothering to say anything.

Upon seeing that, Abigail smirked. "Sure. Don't beg me later on, though."

Then, she turned around and left. Meanwhile, Ethan gave his bodyguards a signal before they quickly made their moves toward Abigail.

When he said that he didn't want to see Abigail anymore, he didn't mean that he wanted her to leave. Instead, he wanted her to disappear from this world.

When Abigail sensed their murderous intents, her gaze darkened.

Does this man really think that he owns this hospital and can do whatever he pleases?

Immediately, Abigail revealed the scalpel hidden in her sleeve before she threw it toward the bodyguard closest to her.

With a loud whoosh, the scalpel lodged itself in the bodyguard's shoulder blade before blood started sputtering out, causing everyone to be taken aback.

"I don't care who you are, but I want you to get out of my hospital immediately! From now onward, you or anyone around you won't be welcomed at this place any longer!" Abigail declared authoritatively, while Ethan narrowed his eyes.

What did she just say? Her hospital? Isn't this the best surgeon in the world, Abigail Kain's hospital?

While Ethan pondered with confusion, Abigail's assistant came out from the operation theater.

"Dr. Kain, the preparations are done. When will you be performing the operation?"

"I'm done. The operation is canceled. Get this man and everyone related to him out of my hospital! If they threaten to harm anyone, contact Mr. Cooper and inform him that someone is trying to cause a ruckus at the hospital. If he can't do anything about it, you can contact the president since he still owes me a favor," Abigail instructed coldly before she left without sparing Ethan any second glances.

Are you kidding me? There are all sorts of people who came begging for my help throughout these years, but this is my first time meeting such a calculative and arrogant man. I'm already being really nice to him after all the chaos he had caused in my place!

She was already in a bad mood back in Harrion and wanted to return to recompose her emotions, but what happened just now had further ruined her mood.

Meanwhile, Ethan was dumbstruck when he heard what Abigail said. However, his assistant, who had a strong conscience, quickly stopped Abigail upon learning who she was.

"Dr. Kain, I'm sorry for crossing you due to my ignorance just now. I failed to understand Young Master Ethan's instructions, and I'm sure that he never wanted to offend you. Since all physicians have the

heart of a parent, please forgive us, Dr. Kain. Besides, Miss Huntington had been waiting for a long while, and she couldn't handle any delay anymore. She might die if you want us to take her away!"

Yet, Abigail chuckled coldly before saying, "Are you trying to guilt-trip me? I came out of my way here to prepare for her operation, but what did your young master say just now? He doesn't want to see me? I'm sure you've misunderstood his instruction, as he wanted me to disappear from this world instead of wanting me to leave this place. Since when have I crossed him? I treat people how they treat me, and if they try to push me around, I'll be sure to return the gesture. I'm not interested in helping a person who wants my life. Amy, what are you waiting for? Get them out of here!"

Then, she left without waiting for anyone to say anything.

Are you for real? I can't believe I came back just to get pissed off again! Why did I even return in the first place? I'm already injured, and Alissa hasn't healed yet, but I came all the way back just because of Emma. This is really unlike myself.

Abigail pondered to herself while walking before coming to the conclusion that it was a mistake to come back again.

Meanwhile, Amy quickly acted after receiving Abigail's order and contacted the security guards to get Ethan and the others to leave.

At that moment, Ethan's face darkened because it was his first time being treated this way in his entire life.

If they were in his territory, he would have already killed Abigail, but Zoe couldn't wait any longer.

Although Ethan's pride wouldn't allow him to admit defeat to Abigail, there was no one else who could carry out the operation on Zoe's injury with the amount of confidence Abigail could.

Ethan's assistant stomped their feet on the ground anxiously.

"What should we do, Young Master Ethan?"

"I'm not going to leave. I refuse to believe that she can do anything to me!"

Ethan gave a signal before a team of men came in to surround the operation theater.

"I would like to see who would dare to take Zoe out of this operation theater! Kill anyone who attempts to do so, and I'll take responsibility for everything."

Right then, the malicious look on Ethan's face terrified all the nurses in the operation theater.

Even Amy, who was an experienced person, paused when she noticed how stubborn Ethan was. Then, she left everyone, who was in a stand-off with Ethan's men, and entered Abigail's office.

"Dr. Kain, that man seems to have a strong backing. Besides, Zoe Huntington is an A-listed celebrity who became extremely popular recently. If the reporters make articles using this, your reputation would be affected."

"So be it. I'm unable to lower myself down just because of my image. Didn't you see how that man wanted to kill me? Even if I saved Zoe Hunnington, I know that a man like that definitely won't let me off the hook. If that's so, why don't I get a scapegoat to die with me? At least I won't feel as terrible when it happens!"

Instead of feeling scared, Abigail started brewing the tea that she had gotten from Greg nonchalantly.

This is not bad.

At this moment, Amy asked worriedly, "Are we really not going to do anything for Zoe Huntington?"

"Well, that depends on Young Master Ethan's attitude. Do not care and let him be if he refuses to leave. From the rate of Zoe Huntington's blood loss, she can only live for another three more hours. He can decide on what to do now."

Abigail had made herself clear.

If Ethan wanted to save Zoe, he would have to apologize and promise that he wouldn't try to seek any troubles with Abigail before she'd even consider saving Zoe again. If he couldn't do that, he couldn't blame Abigail for not wanting to save Zoe.

Although Abigail knew that she had to uphold her principles as a doctor, there was no way that she'd sacrifice her life for people that were threatening her life. After all, she still had two four-year-old children that still needed to be raised, and no one would take care of them if she died.

Since Amy had been working for Abigail for a long time, she understood what Abigail was trying to say right now and jogged out to express Abigail's message to Ethan.

When Ethan heard her, he was furious.

She wants me to apologize to her? What is she even thinking about? Does she really think that I would apologize to someone like her?

"Tell her that I'll destroy the entire hospital if she refuses to operate on Zoe within two hours!"

Right then, Ethan's strong, murderous intent scared Amy.

With no choice, she ran back to Abigail to express Ethan's answer, but Abigail couldn't be bothered at all.

As time passed by, the atmosphere in the hospital got extremely tense, and it was as if any noise obstruction would cause a fight to break out.

At this moment, a woman entered the hospital.

"Is Dr. Kain here? I'm Genevieve, Dr. Palmer's student, and I'm here to ask her something."

Genevieve's voice was gentle, and it helped soothe the tension slightly.

Immediately, Amy went forward to greet her.

"Hello, are you Dr. Leynthall? Dr. Palmer had already contacted us, but we hadn't replied because Dr. Kain wasn't present. I didn't expect you to come on your own."

Genevieve explained with a smile, "The scholarly paper this time is really important to me. Dr. Palmer told me that Dr. Kain is a specialist in this segment, so I took a flight hoping that I could meet her."

"Hmph! Why would you come all the way to interview a doctor that doesn't care about her patients? She doesn't deserve treatments like this!" Ethan huffed in anger.

Upon hearing that, Genevieve was taken aback.

"What is he talking about?"

Just then, Amy was flustered.

Although Abigail didn't care about her own reputation, Amy still had to worry for Abigail because she was her assistant.

Genevieve is Dr. Palmer's student, and Dr. Palmer is a reputable person in Zyrtonia's medical field. If he finds out about what happened, he might think badly of Abigail.

At the thought of that, Amy quickly chimed in, "It's nothing. There are some misunderstandings between Dr. Kain and Young Master Ethan, and they are in the midst of settling it now."

"How can you declare a life-or-death situation as a misunderstanding? I didn't know that Abigail Kain's assistant is really good at sugarcoating her words. Zoe had been sent here for almost an hour, and Dr. Kain had already left and even wanted to kick us out. Is this what a doctor should do?"

Genevieve frowned when she heard Ethan. NôvelDrama.Org content.

"It's possible that Dr. Kain might be busy. Why don't I go in to take a look? I'm a doctor, after all, a military doctor!" she declared before taking her coat off and handing her bag to Amy. Then, she acted on her own initiative and wore Abigail's surgical gown before entering the operation theater.

However, Genevieve's face went pale when she saw Zoe's injuries and read her report, although she was initially confident. She knew that she was unable to perform the surgery.

Still, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I left just like this?

After contemplating for a moment, Genevieve took a deep breath and instructed, "Prepare for the operation. I'll be performing the surgery."

"Who are you? Do I know you? Do you even have a doctor's license? Who gave you the audacity to perform an operation in my hospital? Can you take responsibility if anything happens?" Abigail asked coldly, with a dark look on her face.

Amy had already texted her upon Genevieve's arrival, and she had to show up as a form of respect toward Dr. Palmer, despite not wanting to be bothered by Ethan. Thus, she came out of her office to greet Genevieve. Nevertheless, she didn't expect Genevieve to be so self-assertive and wore her surgical gown to operate on her patient sloppily, without even getting her permission in her hospital.

Abigail was entirely appalled by Genevieve's actions.
