Abbie had been in the apartment to recuperate for the past two days, and Richard arranged bodyguards to supervise her around the clock to prevent her from contacting Michael.
She could not make any calls and her social media was also monitored by Richard. Abbie was extremely depressed. When Valeria came to see her, she complained that Richard was a menace and he was heartless.
Valeria smiled and took out a brand new mobile phone from the bag she brought. She had installed a new SIM card, so Abbie registered a new Whatsapp account and secretly talked to Michael.
Abbie was chatting happily with Michael when Braelynn came to see her in the afternoon. She didn’t stop even when she saw Braelynn “Braelynn, you won’t report this to my brother, will you?”
“Of course not, I’m on your side.” Braelynn smiled and handed a cup of milk tea to Abbie. “I bought it especially for you. Drink it!”
“Valeria brought some snacks when she came to see me as well. Are both of you trying to kill me? I’ll gain a few pounds when my legs get better.”
Abbie complained and reached out to take the milk tea because she couldn’t wait to take a sip. Braelynn was amused and said, “You said no, but your actions are betraying you.”
“Braelynn, how can you say something like that? My brother is a bad influence on you!”
“Your brother isn’t, but you should be careful if Michael brainwashes you. Look at you talking happily with him. Aren’t you afraid of falling in love with him and being discovered by your brother?”
“Don’t worry. You and Valeria are the only people who have access to my apartment. No one else has it. If my brother wants to catch me, he has to come into my house first and I would’ve hidden my phone as soon as I hear the doorbell.”
Braelynn also laughed when she saw Abbie’s triumphant smile, “By the way, does Michael have any idea how to deal with your relationship with him?”
“I have no choice. My brother wants his mother to beg me, but how can she do that when she hates me so much? In fact, my brother is also putting Michael in a dilemma. This is a very difficult matter.”
“Then what should we do? Is there really nothing we can do?”
“I initially thought I had no way out, but I suddenly have an idea after meeting you.” Abbie smiled and looked at Braelynn, “Braelynn, how far have you gone with my brother? Have you held hands? Have you kissed?”
“Nothing! Nothing at all!” Braelynn’s face suddenly turned red.
“You didn’t even hold each other’s hands and kiss? What is my brother doing? He is usually so straightforward in these things and I always thought that he has already slept with you.”
“How dare he! If your brother dares to touch me, I’ll break his bones!” Braelynn frowned.
“Oh my gosh! Is this how you treat my brother? Isn’t it too harsh? How can you be a good wife like this? His life will be at stake once he marries you!” Abbie stuck out her tongue.
“Braelynn, although my brother is annoying and I want to beat him up all the time, he is still my brother! Can you stop being so fierce to him? At least treat him nicely for my sake, okay?”
Braelynn burst into laughter. “Come on, I’m just teasing you.”
“Are you kidding me? Then what have you done with my brother so far? Even if you didn’t sleep with him, you’ve at least kissed him, right? Tell me, I really don’t believe my brother will be so timid.”
“We haven’t kissed yet, at most… at most we’ve held hands!”
“Heavens, he’s too pure! Why is my brother so innocent? Michael’s sex drive is way too high… my brother is incomparable to him!” Abbie found it hard to imagine.
“I suddenly have hope. I felt that my idea was unrealistic just now, but I think it could work. Braelynn, my happiness is now in your hands. Please help me!”
“Ah? Abbie, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly acting this way?”
“I’m not putting on a show. I finally have a glimpse of hope! Braelynn, I’m begging you to marry my brother as soon as possible and be like Valeria and William. In this way, my brother will listen to you and he won’t object to my relationship with Michael.”
Braelynn listened to Abbie’s words and laughed. “You’d better not count on me. Your brother and I are just dating, and I don’t know what’ll happen in the future. Your brother isn’t treating me the same way William treats Valeria. It is impossible for your brother to listen to me!”
“That’s why I’m cheering you on! Braelynn, you’re responsible for my happiness from now on! As long as you can help me, Michael and I will give you a big gift!”
Braelynn received a call while they were laughing and joking, so she picked up the phone and heard a panicked voice, “Are you Braelynn?”
“Yes, I am. Who are you?”
“Are you Mrs. Lucian Barnbook’s relative?”
“Yes, Lucian is my mother. What happened?”
“I am traffic officer. Ms. Barnbook had a car accident and she has been sent to the hospital now. I found you in her contacts, so I called to inform you of this. If you are her daughter, please come to the hospital immediately. She is in critical condition.”
“I see. I’ll be right there!”
Braelynn hung up the phone and looked at Abbie. “I have something urgent to do. I will come to see you another day.”
Abbie also realized that something was wrong when she looked at Braelynn’s anxious expression. “Braelynn, what happened?”
“My mother had a car accident, so I have to go to the hospital to check it out! I have to go first!”
“Okay! Be careful on the way and call me if anything happens after you arrive at the hospital!”
Braelynn got into the car in a hurry and rushed to the hospital. She called Lamont on the way. “Dad, Mom had a car accident and I’m rushing to the hospital now. You’d better come over soon!”
Lamont was also shocked when he heard that Lucian had been in a car accident. “I see. You can head there first and I’ll come later!”
Lucian was rushed into the operating room as soon as she arrived at the hospital. Meanwhile, the traffic officer and the driver involved in the accident were waiting outside.
The driver of the accident kept apologizing when he saw Braelynn. “I was a little dizzy at that time and I couldn’t brake in time. It was too late by the time I saw her car coming. I’m sorry! I’m really very sorry!”
The driver admitted that he was fully responsible and he looked remorseful. Braelynn was not in the mood to blame the driver either because the most important thing was to save Lucian’s life right now.
Braelynn called William again. “William, my mother had an accident and she’s in the hospital for emergency treatment. The police said she’s in critical condition and I’m a little worried.”
“I know. I’ll ask Marcus to call the director of the hospital and arrange for the best doctors to save her. You don’t have to worry too much.”
Braelynn felt a little relieved when she heard this. Meanwhile, William hung up the phone and immediately told Marcus, “Lucian had a car accident and she’s being rescued in the hospital right now. Make sure the best doctors are arranged to save her.”
Marcus immediately made a phone call while William ordered Bobby, “Immediately arrange for a few people to go to the hospital to check on the situation. By the way, ask the people who have been keeping an eye on Lucian all this while. We don’t know whether this accident has been planned in advance. It’s okay if it was by chance, but if it’s part of a scheme…”
Bobby understood and said, “I will call and ask about the situation right away.”
