Chapter 35
Gavin trembled, turning to see Eric striding toward him
“Mr. Gomez?” Gavin instinctively released his grip and stood up. “What are you-
Before he could finish, Eric kicked him to the ground.
“Mr. Tucker!” The bodyguards were startled and quickly rushed over to help him up
Gavin had taken a hard hit; his face turned pale, and it took him a while to stand, supported by his bodyguards.
Meanwhile, Eric had already removed his jacket and draped it over Abigail.
Seeing this, Gavin felt a pang of fear, “M–Mr. Gomez ”
“Who told you to bring her here? Clavin, you really are something. You haven’t learned anything else, but you’ve sure learned how to bully women, haven’t you?” Eric’s gaze was cold.
Eric? Abigail tightened her grip on the jacket, not expecting him to be the one to rescue her.
“Mr. Gomez, I didn’t mean to I–I just… Gavin stammered
“Next time, I’ll break your legs!” Eric gave him a chilling glance before turning and carrying Abigail away.
Gavin couldn’t help but curse, “Damn!”
He had thought that Eric no longer had feelings for Abigail, but that wasn’t the case.
What exactly was going on between them?
Abigail struggled in Eric’s arms as he carried her out. “Let me go! Put me down. I don’t need your take kindness!”
“Fake kindness?” he replied coldly. “If I hadn’t arrived in time, you wouldn’t know how badly you would have been treated. And instead of thanking me, you’re accusing me of faking my kindness?”
“Didn’t you tell Garin to take me away?” She gritted her teeth, her eyes red. Tm already like this, so why can’t you all just leave me alone? What do you all want from me?“.
“Me? When did I ever tell Gavin to take you away?” he asked coldly. “If that were the case, would I have had to go through so much trouble to come and save you?!
She retorted coldly, “If you didn’t burn a blind eye to him bullying me, would he have done this to me? Isn’t this the result of your action?”
Erk fell silent; her words left him with no rebuttal. He simply showed her into the car
“I didn’t know about this. I only found out after receiving a call from your friend. After sending someone to investigate, I learned that Gavin had taken Yo he explained
“Jac?” Abigail suddenly thought of Jacinta. Her friend must have been anxious since she had disappeared. “I need to call fac and have her pick me up
She fumbled for her phone in her pocket, about to dial Jacinta’s number.
Eric snatched the phone from her.
“What are you doing, Eric?” she immediately asked.
“Our issues are between us. We shouldn’t bother others, especially not Dr. Bennett She’s busy with work, and asking her to come here to pick you up would be too much of an inconvenience. Don’t you think?” He took her phone and pocketed it. “I’ll take you home.”
He got in the car and turned to buckle her seatbelt.
“Where are you taking me? Abigail asked cautiously
The seatbelt clicked into place, and he replied calmly, “Where else would I take you? Back to our home, of course,”
“I don’t want to go back! We’re about to divorce. I’m not going back there!” she immediately shouted.
“Divorce? I never agreed to that.” Eric ignored her and started the car engine.
In her current condition, she was unable to care for herself. He couldn’t bring himself to let her stay outside.
What if something like today happened again?
He partly caused her blindness. It made him feel obligated to care for her.
But deep down, he refused to admit to feeling guilty toward her.
