Not One, But Two!

Chapter 182

"Greg!" Genevieve shouted before her face turned pale. At the same time, her shout caused Greg to move his body a little before the knife lodged itself on his shoulder and blood started sputtering immediately.

Right then, his gaze darkened before he brought his leg down on the man.

"Get him!"

Straqium Embankment was Cody's property, so all of the people who worked there obviously knew Greg. Thus, the security guards were already rushing over to subdue the hitman the moment Greg was stabbed.

While Greg's shoulder was hurting so badly that he felt numb, a calculative glint flashed past Genevieve's gaze when Greg was about to walk away.

I can't miss this opportunity this time! Even though Greg said that it's over between us, I can still make an effort to save our relationship, can't I?

At the thought of that, she quickly moved forward and grabbed him by his shoulder.

"Greg, you're injured. Let me send you home."

"It's fine."

However, the strong scent of ether entered Greg's nostrils when he wanted to push Genevieve away.

Before he completely lost his consciousness, he noticed that Genevieve was holding a handkerchief, and there was probably ether on it.

Does that mean that Genevieve had been planning to drug me for a long time?

"You b*tch!"

In the midst of his anger, Greg wanted to hit Genevieve, but he had no energy left and could only fall into her arms with a resentful look on his face.

Genevieve must admit that she was terrified when Greg wanted to hit her. For a second, I thought I saw a monster. Now that Greg was lying in her arms, her facial expression changed when she thought of Greg's strong build as well as how he looked when he used to hug her from behind.

I really love him! Does he really not know about it? Still, he's not from the military, and his family background doesn't allow us to be together. I can't do anything about that, can I? Dad wants me to get married to Cody because he will be able to help our family to secure a bright future, and I have to be considerate to the other family members of the Leynthall Family as the eldest daughter. Why can't Greg protect me silently, like how he used to in the past? Is it really that important to get married when it's already obvious that we love each other? Even if I was to get married to Cody and become Mrs. Kottler, Greg would still have my heart, wouldn't he?

Genevieve caressed Greg's good-looking face before she whispered, "Why do you want to end things? Hasn't everything been good for the past ten years? All of it happened because of Abigail, didn't it? Do you hate me because of her? I know that she can marry you, but what about me? What should I do? Why won't you ever think from my perspective, Greg? Do you really think that I've had it easy?"

Nevertheless, Greg, who was unconscious, had a frown on his face, and it was unknown whether he heard what she said or not.

At the same time, Genevieve sighed when she saw the wound and blood on Greg's shoulder before she tore her shirt apart and tied it to his shoulder to stop the bleeding.

"Miss Leynthall, let us send Mr. Buckley back."

She glared at the security guard when he walked over.

"Do you really think that I'm untrustworthy when I've known Greg and Cody ever since they're kids? Besides, I'm a doctor, and I'm able to help him right away during an emergency! What can you guys even do? Useless! Get away from us!" Genevieve snapped in anger before she carried Greg out of Straqium Embankment.

By right, she should be sending Greg to the hospital immediately, but she changed her mind once she got into Greg's car.

Just then, Genevieve took Greg's car key from his pocket and started the car engine before driving back to Allie's Garden.

On the other hand, Abigail was extremely familiar with the sound of Greg's car engine.

After housing Snowdrop with Amy, she had been playing around with Snowdrop while occasionally glancing outside.

Upon hearing the sound of Greg's car engine, Abigail got up abruptly before she rushed outside.

Right then, she didn't care why Greg didn't answer his phone anymore, and she just wanted to see him and ask him if he was alright.

Yet, Abigail saw Genevieve carrying Greg down from his car right when she opened the door.

It seemed like Greg was drunk as he was leaning on Genevieve's body, and the sight of that burned into Abigail's eyes.

At that moment, Genevieve even gave Abigail a look of provocation before she lowered her head and chuckled. "Greg, let me take you home."

Suddenly, Abigail felt a stabbing pain in her chest.

"Greg Buckley," she said calmly, hoping that she would receive an explanation from Greg, but Greg had no reaction at all and looked as if he was knocked out from drinking too much.

Immediately, Genevieve reprimanded, "Why are you being so loud? Can't you see that Greg doesn't want to talk to you? Abigail, I hope that you still have your self-awareness and stop making Greg upset by leaving."

Then, she lifted Greg into the house gently while Abigail's heart ached as she stared at Greg.

Hang on! There's something wrong with the way Greg is walking. Besides, Greg is a vigilant person. Even if he didn't want to see me, he would definitely snap at me after I shouted at him instead of being so down-spirited like he was asleep.

"Wait!" Abigail paused for a second before she called out for Genevieve.

Suddenly, a nervous look appeared on Genevieve's face.

"Do you think that I'll wait for you just because you asked me to? Abigail Kain, who do you think you are? It's been more than ten years since Greg and I got together, and no one, including you, will be able to separate us. I can't believe that you took it seriously when Greg was just fooling around with you."

She harrumphed before continuing to lead Greg into the house. However, Abigail was faster, and she quickly blocked Genevieve.

As she was a doctor, she could immediately smell a faint scent of blood when she got closer to them.

"Is he injured?"

"That's none of your business!" NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Genevieve was starting to panic before she tried to push Abigail away.

Nevertheless, Abigail quickly grabbed Genevieve's wrist and pulled Greg out of her arms before throwing her to a side and catching Greg when he was about to fall.

In this instance, the wound on Greg's appeared in front of Abigail.

"Abigail Kain, how dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am? You have to know that the Leynthall Family won't tolerate any bullying from you!" Genevieve yelled in pain when she fell onto the ground and hurt her knees.

Right at this moment, Abigail's head snapped back before she gave Genevieve a sharp glare with her icy gaze.

"You know that he's injured and hasn't stopped bleeding, but you choose to bring him back to show off in front of me instead of sending him to the hospital? Genevieve, do you even love him?"

"Of course I do. In fact, I love him way more than you do," Genevieve retorted stubbornly.

However, Abigail chuckled coldly before saying, "You love him? If you love him, you would have done something while he's bleeding to death. You wouldn't have brought him back just because you're jealous! You refuse to believe that Greg stopped loving you after ten years, and you want to assert your dominance again. Genevieve Leynthall, you better pray that Greg will be alright because if anything happens to him due to extreme blood loss, I swear that I'll make you and your entire family pay for what you've done!"

Then, she ignored Genevieve and turned to Amy. "Get me the first-aid kit and the hemostat."

"Alright."

Although Amy was together with Abigail the entire time, Abigail's overwhelming presence had completely suppressed her. Immediately, she ran back to get the things that Abigail needed.

Meanwhile, Genevieve crawled toward Abigail to block her way.

"I'm a doctor, and I can tend to Greg's injury as well! Do not touch him!"

"F*ck off!"

In the past, Abigail would tolerate Genevieve's attitude, but all she wanted to do right then was to kick Genevieve away. Yet, Genevieve continued bothering her and tried to snatch Greg away from her. In a fury, Abigail grabbed Genevieve's arm and dislodged her entire arm with a loud crack.

"Ouch!"

Genevieve let out a shrill scream before she let go of Greg while Abigail carried Greg into the house without sparing her any glances.

"I won't forgive you for this, Abigail Kain! I'll make you regret what you did to me today! This is Harrion, and I grew up with the Fourth Young Master of Harrion! Just wait for it!"

Genevieve was drenched in sweat by the time she finished. Still, she quickly drove to the hospital, as she was afraid that her arm might be crippled.

Just then, Amy watched as Genevieve scurried away before she smirked. "How embarrassing."

"Get me the hemostat and disinfectant."

Abigail placed Greg on the bed before she noticed that Greg's face was extremely pale. It was obvious that he was stabbed when he was drinking, as she could smell the strong alcohol stench on his body. Yet, Abigail didn't understand why Greg didn't dodge the knife, considering how skillful he was.

I guess his senses were dulled because he drank too much.

She was mad that Greg didn't care about his own body and turned off his phone, but she was more nervous about stopping his wound from bleeding.

At that moment, Amy cooperated well with Abigail to stop Greg's bleeding wound while the metallic scent of the blood filled the entire room, and the atmosphere of the room was extremely tense.

When Abigail saw the black substance on Greg's wound, her face turned pale.

"Dr. Kain, there's poison on the wound."

Amy's hands trembled a little.

These kinds of poison were potent and would spread fast as soon as they entered the body. If Genevieve had sent Greg to the hospital right away, it would have been easier to tend to the wound, but none of them could tell how much the poison had spread after getting delayed for so long.

The poison was applied at the tip of the knife in a tricky manner and managed to enter Greg's muscles when he was stabbed before it spread into his blood circulation. Although it wasn't noticeable from Greg's appearance, it would have been too late if they could see the poison from the wound.

Abigail had encountered this poison when she was with Hugh, and she was overwhelmed by how fast it would spread back then. However, she had never expected to see it on Greg's body.

It must have been Hugh! Looks like he picked the wrong route in the end.

Abigail's grip on her scalpel tightened before her gaze turned cold. There was a conflicted look in her eyes that others couldn't understand.

"Amy, I want you to take care of Greg. I'll head out for a bit."

Upon hearing that, Amy was so shocked that she almost threw the hemostat.

"Dr. Kain, I don't think I can do that. I have no confidence in my skills in this aspect, and I'm not sure how far the poison has spread. I- I'm afraid that…" Her face turned pale.

Right then, Abigail realized that no one other than her would be willing to take Greg in as their patient.
