Chapter 88
Abigail avoided Eric and said, “I really can’t eat anymore. Since I’ve been staying indoors these few days and don’t walk around, I don’t feel hungry at all.
Eric froze for a moment before putting down the plate. “In that case, why don’t we take a walk outside later?”
She wanted to reject the offer at first. However, after thinking about it, she agreed to it. “Sure.”
He smiled a little and picked up the soup next to him. “Nancy also prepared some soup for you. So, you should drink it while it’s warm and not waste it.”
Although Abigail didn’t finish the food from earlier, she managed to drink all the soup. After she was done with dinner, she went to the hospital’s garden to take a walk with Eric holding her hand
It was bright in the hospital, but it was really quiet, and even the air was refreshing. To Abigail, it didn’t matter to her if it was day or night. However, she felt peaceful at that moment.
The two of them didn’t say anything at all. After a long while, Eric suddenly said, “Nicole and I aren’t what you think we are. She’s only a junior to me.”
“Right,” Abigail answered casually, not knowing why he would bring it up out of the blue. However, no matter what he said, she would just have to show him that she believed him. In reality, she didn’t believe a single word he said when he talked about Nicole and himself.
When Eric noticed that she had believed him, he finally felt better. “If you don’t like her, I’ll transfer her to another branch once she has recovered from her injuries and returned to the company.”
“There’s no need for that,” Abigail said calmly. “Just leave it as it is. After all, it wouldn’t be nice to transfer someone away for no reason.”
Eric found her to be more reasonable at that moment. After they had walked for a while, he finally brought her back to her ward.
“I’m not going to leave tonight. Instead, I’ll stay back to keep you company,” he said.
Abigail frowned slightly. “You don’t have to do that. Besides, there’s no place for you to sleep. I can stay here by myself, and nothing’s going to happen. to me. After all, there are doctors and nurses here, and the bodyguards are outside too. Nancy will also take care of me.”
“I’ve told Nancy to go home,” Eric said calmly. “Since you can’t see anything now, don’t you feel afraid being in the hospital by yourself?”
He remembered how terrified Nicole was when she was recovering at the hospital by herself. She would always use that as an excuse to get him to stay with her. As for Abigail, he realized she had never asked him to stay back at all.
“No. I’m used to it,” Abigail said while shaking her head.
Hearing that, Eric frowned a little. “Do you really not want me to be here?”
She didn’t say anything, and he took it as a yes. “Well, I’m going to stay, and that’s that.” He said with a slight scoff, “The bed in the VIP ward is big enough for the both of us. Besides, we’re married, and there’s nothing wrong with us sleeping together, right?”
Abigail knew that he wasn’t going to leave that night and decided not to say anything to anger him further.
“Whatever. You can stay if you want to.”
After saying that, she felt her way around to grab the clothes next to her and wanted to head to the bathroom. Suddenly, Eric held her hand and said, “Let me take you there. You’re going to take forever by feeling your way around here.”
Then, he brought her to the bathroom’s entrance. “I’ll be standing right outside. If you need help with anything, feel free to call me.”
Abigail nodded and entered the bathroom. Then, she started cleaning herself with difficulty by trying to memorize where everything was inside there.
