Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Brandon Piers, let go!
In the hospital room.
Lincoln Green’s ears finally quieted down, but his expression showed no sign of relaxing.
He had been married to Rose Taylor for ten years; he never expected things to co to this point, even just a few days ago.
But as the truth slowly unfolded, it was even more brutal than he had imagined.
Yesterday, the lawyer brought him not only evidence of Rose Taylor’s recent asset transfers but also evidence of her embezzling company funds to invest in properties over the years, along with his blood test results.
It clearly indicated that he had been chronically poisoned.
The toxins found in his blood were the sa as those in the dication Rose Taylor had injected him with last ti.
The difference was that if the dose had fully entered his body last ti, he would undoubtedly be dead.
Lincoln Green believed he had not treated Rose Taylor and her daughter badly, yet they not only mistreated Abigail over the years but also wanted to kill him. Even now, they were still dreaming that he would forgive them!
Just for what they did to Abigail, they deserved a thousand deaths.
As long as he didn’t think about Abigail, Lincoln Green was fine. But when he thought Abigail might not be Abigail and had been tortured to death by those won, he felt a chill all over his body. These days, he had nightmares every night, hearing Abigail calling him, “Daddy, save , Daddy, save …”
In a daze, he saw Minnie holding a little girl, asking him why he didn’t take good care of their daughter!
These things tornted Lincoln Green one by one, leaving him restless at all tis.
And today, with Rose Taylor causing a scene, he beca more aware of how foolish he had been.
His whole being felt soulless, lying on the hospital bed in despair.
The special care nurse ca in and took a quick glance, reporting the situation back to Piers’ Mansion.
At this ti, Abigail sat by the koi pond.
It had been four months, and little Teddy was learning to roll over.
The old man had ordered a two-ter by two-ter soft blanket, spread in the yard. The whole family surrounded the little guy, watching him roll over.
Abigail sat nearby, reading recent dical news. Occasionally, she glanced over and saw the Piers family mbers, led by the old man, rhythmically chanting, “Co on, co on…”
It didn’t look like they were watching Teddy learn to roll over but rather… well, like watching a monkey doing tricks.
Every ti she watched, Abigail couldn’t help covering her face. anwhile, Aunt Claudia and Kelly were excitedly recording videos on the side.
Abigail simply couldn’t imagine what little Teddy would think when he saw this footage in the future!
“What are you thinking about?” Just as Abigail couldn’t help but shake her head, Brandon Piers arrived uninvited and sat on the chair next to her.
Abigail seriously looked at the man, “Aren’t you busy? I heard the Piers family is fiercely competing for control, don’t you need to go to Swallow City to take charge?”
Living like a leisurely prince every day, wasn’t he afraid of being suppressed by the other two branches?
“Oh, almost forgot, now it’s August. dical school starts in September, what are your plans?” Brandon had never had such a laid-back life before, daily handling work, then playing Tai Chi and walking the child. Life was so pleasant; he almost forgot he had to return to Swallow City.
“Ah, dical school?” Abigail hadn’t rembered this matter.
“Hmm?” Brandon looked at Abigail, feeling conflicted and worried. Was she really willing to go to Swallow City with him? After all, if she was truly Abigail, she would definitely be reluctant to leave Jeffrey Foster.
Just thinking about this woman caring for another man in her heart made Brandon very irritable.
Yet he could only use this thod to test if she was willing to go to Swallow City.
“I guess I’ll go.” Abigail hesitated for a mont before answering. She had not attended university in the country in her previous life. She had heard that the local university atmosphere was good, and now she was Abigail Green. She couldn’t start practicing dicine with just a high school diploma, so she had to attend university anyway. As for how to attend, that was her problem.
Brandon secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she agreed to go to Swallow City, it was good.
“Yes, once Lincoln Green’s matters are settled, we’ll go together,” Brandon said nonchalantly.
Abigail didn’t think much about it, “Okay.”
Brandon felt satisfied.
Abigail suddenly thought of sothing, “Lincoln Green’s lawyer works for you?”
“Yes, he asked to help him,” Brandon shrugged.
“Thank you.” No matter what, this was a Green family matter. Brandon was helping Lincoln Green, but more importantly, he was helping her.
“Fool,” Brandon didn’t like how the chubby one was so polite to him. He disliked it and called her a fool. Thinking about today’s events, he said, “Rose Taylor went to the hospital today. Clark Stone was there too.”
“I saw it. Lincoln Green didn’t disappoint this ti.” Abigail also received the special care nurse’s report and knew Rose Taylor’s actions today.
“Hmm, inform before you go out recently.” Brandon was worried the mother-daughter duo would act desperately. They hadn’t found Gordon, who previously attacked Abigail. It seed they had a top-tier hacker helping them. He had assigned people to investigate the rankings, and the team was currently tracking them.
Abigail nodded, but in her mind, she was thinking about Felix Harrison from yesterday’s files.
She felt the young man looked familiar, but she couldn’t rember why.
Brandon noticed Abigail didn’t seem to take his words to heart. He reached out and ruffled her hair, “Keep it in mind.”
“Can you stop touching all the ti? It’s not appropriate!” Abigail’s hair instantly turned into a bird’s nest. She glared at the man in annoyance!
“Do I?” After spending so much ti together, he felt the chubby one had everything good to touch; even her hair was softer than his, very comfortable to touch.
Abigail nodded.
Brandon casually responded with an “oh.” Then, under Abigail’s stare, he suddenly moved forward, his long fingers with distinct joints pinching her cheeks, “How about this?”
“Brandon Piers, you jerk!” Abigail hated when people pinched her cheeks the most, especially squeezing the chubby bits. It was too annoying!
After her breakthrough on the scale at the charity gala, Abigail had been regularly weighing herself these past few days. However, her weight seed to have stabilized. Although she lost so weight, it was less than two pounds, and the progress was very slow.
She felt anxious but couldn’t do anything about it.
Weighing oneself really required a long interval to witness any surprise.
Yet this man kept pinching her cheeks, reminding her of the unchanging weight.
“Yes, I’m a jerk.” Brandon didn’t care about Abigail’s anger and pinched her cheeks again.
Abigail took a deep breath and realized sothing was wrong. She looked up at the people around little Teddy, and they were all gazing at the two of them.
In an instant, Abigail’s face turned red, and even the fingers holding her face turned red, as Brandon realized what he was doing.
“Let go of !” Abigail murmured.
Brandon quickly released her cheeks, coughed to cover his embarrassnt, and awkwardly returned to his chair.
The old man chuckled and then addressed everyone, “Hehe, alright, back to watching Teddy! Co on, Teddy, you can do it! Don’t give up!”
Brandon, “…”
