Chapter 94
uddenly, the door to the ward was opened, and Nancy walked out. She heard Derrick’s voice earlier and decided to welcome him.
“Hello, Mr. Gomez Senior,” she greeted him. “Mrs. Gomez is inside right now. She’s fine, and there are no wounds on her body at all.”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
Derrick hurriedly entered the ward after that. At that moment, Abigail had heard his voice, and she turned her head slightly to the side. “Grandpa?”
“Yes, it’s me.” He quickly made his way to her side and held her hand. “I’m here to visit you. Eric told me the operation was a success, and I can finally relax now. How are you feeling?”
She could feel that he was sincerely caring for her, and she nodded. “I’m feeling great. Don’t worry. The doctor said my eyes are recovering quickly too.” “That’s great. I heard from Eric that you were taken away earlier, and that scared me! I’ll tell him to assign more bodyguards for you. Since you can’t see anything now, you’re in a dangerous place and need someone to protect you,” said Derrick.
“Thank you, Grandpa.” Abigail didn’t reject the idea because she figured the people who tried to abduct her were sent by Chanse as well. Since Chanse couldn’t wait to target her again, he was obviously getting desperate.
If it could happen once, it would definitely happen again, and she decided it would be safer to have someone protect her.
After that, Derrick continued chatting with her a little while longer. When he noticed that she was getting a little tired, he told her to get some rest.
After coming out of the ward, he glanced at Eric and suddenly said, “You previously said that you would agree to get a divorce after her eyes were cured. Did you mean it?”
Eric stayed silent for a moment before saying, “I was just trying to buy some time.”
Derrick scoffed. “Since you don’t want to get a divorce, you should use this time to fix your relationship with her. If Abby brings up the divorce again after her eyes have recovered, I’m not going to help you anymore.”
“I understand,” said Eric.
“Who do you think is behind the abduction this time?” Derrick asked in his deep voice.
Eric frowned. “I don’t know. At first, I thought it might be Chanse. However, after thinking about it, I figured it probably wasn’t him.”
“Your dad?” Derrick was stunned when he heard that. “Why would you think it was him?”
“I haven’t told you about it, but two days before Abigail’s operation, Chanse suddenly knocked out our driver and housekeeper. Then, he took her away and wanted to send her abroad. However, I arrived in time and stopped them at the airport. I gave him a warning back then, so I don’t think it’s him this time.”
Derrick suddenly looked more serious than ever. “Why would he want Abby to be abroad? If I remember correctly, they don’t seem to have interacted much before.”
“They don’t. However, ever since he returned to the country, he had already visited her twice. He said he wanted to compensate her on my behalf, but it just sounds like obvious nonsense,” Eric said calmly.
After hearing that, Derrick remembered something, and his face became pale. Eric noticed it and asked, “What’s wrong, Grandpa? Are you feeling unwell?
“No.” Derrick waved his hand and said solemnly, “No matter what, you have to protect Abby well and make sure nothing happens to her. Do you understand? Also, try not to let her see your dad if possible. Even if they have to meet, don’t let them meet alone, Someone else has to be there with them, alright?”
Seeing how serious he was, Eric hurriedly asked, “Do you know something that I don’t?”
However, Derrick just shook his head. “Just do as I told you and don’t ask about anything else.”
After Derrick left, Eric just stood there, deep in his thoughts. He figured something was definitely off with Derrick’s reaction. It seemed to Eric that Derrick didn’t trust Chanse at all and that Chanse might really have something to do with the abduction.
With that thought in mind, Eric took out his phone and told someone to track Chanse’s movements in the past two days.
After that Eric returned to the ward and saw Abigail leaning against the headboard. However, she wasn’t resting. When she heard some footsteps approaching, she knew it was him immediately and said, “Don’t you think it’s time for you to return my phone to me?”
