Chapter 76
“Get lost!” Gavin roared, startling Kenny so much that he trembled.
“Get these bastards out of here or I’ll resort to violence!” Gavin seethed.
Kenny felt conflicted. “B–But…” he muttered.
He looked at Bruce and asked with desperation, “Is Mr. Gomez not here yet? If he doesn’t come soon…”
Having lost all his patience, Gavin ordered his bodyguard with a shout, “Get them!”
“I dare you to lay a finger on them!”
Eric strode over. His icy cold eyes glared at Gavin, “I see you’ve grown a set of balls to be creating a scene at the hospital. Do you know how serious this is?”
“You’re the one who made me do this!” Gavin’s expression was full of fury. “Did you ever stop to consider my feelings while you searched for a donor for that bitch?
“Since I can’t convince you, I have no other choice but to be forceful! Eric, if you still think of me as your friend and brother, then you shouldn’t stop me!
Gavin felt that his actions were justified.
His sister had died! It did not matter that Connor had confessed his wrongdoings, that was far from enough to redeem his sins!
He had caused the death of his sister!
Abigail lost her eyesight because it was the punishment she deserved, so how could Gavin not do anything when he knew that Eric was trying to help get her eyesight back?
“Sure, she’s blind, but at least she’s still alive! She’s already having it so much better than my sister! All I want is for her to stay blind, is that too much to ask for?” Gavin really could not understand why Eric kept interrupting his plans.
With a stern expression, Eric said, “Why are you taking things to the extreme? It’s been years and you haven’t changed at all! You’re no longer a child.
“It’s time you learn how to think more maturely. What happened to your sister has nothing to do with Abigail, so stop being such a troublemaker!”
“How could she have nothing to do with it?” Instantly, Gavin was provoked. “Isn’t she part of the Reed family?” he continued.
“I’m sure you know that deep down in your heart, Gavin.” Eric looked at him coldly before continuing, “You just need an outlet, that’s why you’re taking it all out on Abigail.
“You know very well that she has nothing to do with this and yet you insist on taking it out on her. Do you think this would actually make you feel better?
“Because it was you who gave the medication to your sister. That’s why you’re blaming yourself. You feel guilty, and you’re suffering.
“Isn’t that why you’re taking it out on someone else?”
Eric was spot–on with his words. Gavin’s body started shaking. His lips trembled and he could not utter a single word.
Eric had known about Gavin’s true feelings for a long time. The reason he allowed Gavin to bully Abigail before was to teach her a lesson because he thought that she had plotted against him.
But the situation was different now.
Eric coldly said, “I must get this surgery done for her. If you insist on making things hard for me, I’d have no choice but to fight with you
Once he was done talking, he immediately shifted his attention to Kenny and said, “I entrust my property to your care. The surgery’s around the corner.
“There mustn’t be any mistakes.”
Kenny nodded hurriedly and said, “That’s a given! Rest assured, Mr. Gomez. You’re in good hands!”
Eric looked at Gavin who looked dismayed. He did not bother conversing with him any further and just turned to leave.
He had just exited the hospital’s main entrance when he received a phone call from Bruce.
“We’ve got bad news, Mr. Gomez. Peter and Mike were knocked unconscious and Mrs. Gomez has gone missing!”
“Missing?” Eric was shocked to hear this. “Get back up and find her immediately. I’ll go over now!”
Eric got into his car and started the car immediately.
Everything was going well. Why had she suddenly gone missing, and at such a critical moment too? If it was not for Gavin being at the hospital, he would have already become the prime suspect.
