Garn laughed. “I see I get it now. You’re ser on protecting Abigail, huh?
“Pemart. Just great!”
Gar turned around and strode cut.
Nicole had been eavesdropping the entire time. She panicked a little when she saw Gavin march out of the office all furious, afraid that Gavin might have ramed her out.
Curiously, she walked into the office, “What happened between you and Gavin? He looked really angry when he left.”
Eric said with a poker face, “He’s lost his mind just ignore him!”
Nicole just replied with an “oh” and walked away, feeling relieved.
Soon enough, news about the corneal transplant reached Abigail
She was relieved because she knew that at least she would not go completely blind.
She had actually been on tenterhooks for the past few days.
When Err returned, be relayed the news to her.
“They haven’t named off the ventilator for the donor yet, but it should be done in a couple of days. We should cancel tomorrow’s trip to the farm. I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup and we’ll discuss the schedule for your surgery.”
Abigail responded, “Okay.”
On the second day, Eric took Abigail to the hospital. After the results were out, the doctor said, “Ms. Reed’s in good shape. Everything looks fine.
We can arrange for the surgery at any time. But when will they send the patient over?”
Eric replied, “I’ve confirmed with them. It’ll be the day after tomorrow.”
The doctor nodded, “Shall we schedule the surgery for the day after tomorrow, then? It might seem a bit rushed, but there shouldn’t be any problem.”
“What do you think? Eric asked Abigail
Abigail answered, “I’ll follow what the doctor says.”
Suddenly, Eric’s phone rang. He took a glimpse at the screen and said, “I need to take this.”
Once se left the room, Lenny said to Abigail, “Congratulations on finding corneas so soon! I’ll pass on the good news to Jacinta later. She’d be really happy to hear this.”
“Yeah. Please do let her know so she can stop worrying,” Abigail said.
In the hallway, Eric answered the phone.
“Mr. Gomez, the family of the donor called. They said some rich young man suddenly came to them saying he’d pay a handsome price for their child’s corpse. When they refused, he made a huge fuss.
From the description, it sounded like it could be Mr. Tucker_”
Enc’s face darkened, “This asshole, Gavin. He’s always causing a mess! Go and stop him.
I’ll be right there.”
“On it.”
Eric hung up and walked back to the consultation room. He sent Abigail to the car.
“There’s something I must take care of. I’ll have Peter send you home.”
Abigall nodded.
Eric got into another car and sped over to the other hospital.
While Abigail was on the way home with Peter, the car suddenly broke down.
“What’s wrong? Go and find out.” Peter said, frowning
The driver got out and walked to the back of the car. Suddenly, he shouted.
Peter was startled, “What is it?”
He quickly got out of the car but was knocked out the moment he stepped out.
