William’s expression changed instantly. He had experienced the same excruciating pain, so he could only imagine how much pain Abbie was in, especially as a woman.
“Why and when did this happen?”
“Just now! I met her in a private room, and someone shouted my name in the corridor on purpose!”
“Did you catch the person?” William asked.
“Yes, and he said some woman bribed him to do so!”
Upon hearing his words, William blurted out, “So Natasya is behind this?”
“Natasya? But Abbie didn’t provoke her.”
He analyzed, “Abbie and Valeria messed with her today, so she probably realized that it was them and triggered Abbie on purpose.”
“She’s such a vicious woman. I’m going to f*cking kill her!” Michael gritted his teeth.
“Where is Abbie now? Is she at the hospital?” William asked.
“Richard sent her to the hospital! I was going to do it, but he happened to be there.” Michael told him about it while recalling what had happened.
“Richard will definitely suspect things between me and Abbie because of what happened just now. You should come over immediately to help me to smooth things over.”
“Alright! Let’s meet at the hospital.” After saying that, he hung up and went to the bathroom, “My dear, I have something to do, so you don’t have to wait for me after you’re done showering and go to bed!”
“Why are you going out so late?” She asked.
William was afraid that she would worry about Abbie, so he did not tell her what had actually happened, “Something went wrong, I’ll come back right away!”
She thought that he didn’t take her seriously, so she said, “Stupid William, can’t you just tell me what’s wrong?”
When he arrived at the hospital, Michael was waiting for him in the parking lot. When he saw William coming, he immediately went up to him and said, “So, have you thought of a solution?”
“Why did you go to Climax Space for a date? You should’ve just brought her home!” William said, rolling his eyes.
“I thought of that too, but she would never agree to it! Quick, help me think of a solution! Richard will definitely be angry later!”
“Alright!” He picked up his phone and made a call, “Have you arrived yet?”
“I’m coming. Please wait a moment, I’ll be there soon.” Braelynn’s voice could be heard.
“We’re going to the ward first, just meet us there when you get here.” He hung up the phone and went to Abbie’s ward with Michael.
Abbie was given sedatives to calm down and fall asleep while Richard sat on the couch with a long face.
When he heard their voices, he raised his head and looked at Michael fiercely. “Explain what happened just now!”
Michael felt guilty, but William spoke up for him, “Why are you so angry? Michael told me all about it just now. He was at Climax Space and coincidentally saw Abbie…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Richard interrupted him, “I don’t believe a single word you say! Michael, tell me honestly, are you still pestering Abbie? Was she on a date with you just now?”
“I…” He had no way to deny it after Richard had put it so straightforwardly. Seeing him stammering, Richard sneered.
“So, is the same thing going to happen again? Are you ignoring what I said to you last time?”
William immediately interrupted, “Richard! Calm down! We’re all brothers, so let’s talk it out!”
“I can’t calm down! William, tell me honestly if Abbie were your sister, and some scum treated her like that, would you be able to calm down?”
Hearing his question, William forced a smile and said, “Michael is not that kind of person. Don’t you know him?”
“I saw it with my own eyes!” Richard roared angrily, “If I heard what happened from someone else, I would dismiss it as a rumor, but when Abbie got into the accident, Michael was messing around with other women! And she got into the accident because of him! I’m pretty sure you know this.”
“There’s been a misunderstanding! Don’t get too triggered. Let’s sit down and talk it over!” William could only try to persuade him.
However, Richard did not listen to him and said fiercely, “I could care less about anything else, but this is Abbie we’re talking about! My sister has countless of admirers, Michael, you hurt her so badly last time, and now you’re trying to do the same thing again! Do you think the Clarks are fun to play with?”
“Richard, let’s sit down and talk nicely!” William tried to explain, but he ignored everything he said.
“If you treat me as your brother, then don’t stand up for Michael! Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning against you!”
Richard was angry, and William frowned in frustration. Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from outside, and Braelynn came in, “What’s going on? What happened to Abbie?”
Upon seeing her, Richard looked away. William winked at her and said, “Something happened to her at Climax Space.”
“Ah! No wonder I couldn’t find her and get through to her phone. If I knew that something would happen to her today, I wouldn’t have asked her to meet me.” She said apologetically.
“What? You were going to meet her?” Hearing this, Richard turned his head to look at her.
“Yes. What’s wrong, Mr. Clark? Why are you looking at me like that? Am I not allowed to meet her?” She asked in reply.
He did not believe it and asked, “What were you going to do with her?”
“What do you mean?” She frowned. “Do I have to report my hangouts with her to you? Mr. Clark, aren’t you being overprotective?”
“No!” If it was someone else, Richard would definitely not hold back. However, he was talking to Braelynn, so he had to be more cautious, so his tone was much better than when he was dealing with Michael and William.
“I mean, look at her! Of course, I am worried, so I have to know the details. Why were you meeting her?”
She frowned, “It’s nothing urgent. I bumped into her and Valeria earlier in the day, so she wanted to meet up for a drink at night. She’s been pretty lonely ever since Valeria got pregnant, and I was free so I agreed to meet her. I was going to arrive earlier, but some delays happened so I reached a little later.
Richard knew that Abbie and Valeria spent the day together, and he also knew that Abbie was crazily bored ever since Valeria’s pregnancy, so her meeting with Braelynn was plausible.
As he thought about it, Braelyn apologized with regret, “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t promised her to meet up, nothing would have happened tonight. It’s all my fault!”
Richard still did not quite believe her words and looked at her suspiciously. She continued with guilt, “I didn’t know that this would happen. Mr. Clark, if you have any anger in your heart, just let it out on me. I will try my best not to see her in the future. I’m really sorry for what happened tonight!”
