Not One, But Two!

Chapter 80

Meanwhile, Genevieve was embarrassed, as she didn't expect Abigail to reprimand her even though she was only

trying to help.

"Dr. Kain, I was just trying to help you."

"Help me? Are you even capable of doing so? Can you guarantee that this operation will be a success?"

Although Abigail wasn't an aggressive person in nature, Genevieve had really crossed her lines.

Immediately, Genevieve argued with teary eyes, "But no one can guarantee that every operation can be a

success."

"I can!" Abigail's reply proved her capability.

Upon hearing that, Genevieve gritted her teeth. Although she had a dark look on her face, she couldn't argue with

Abigail, as Abigail was renowned for her surgery skills.

"Besides, didn't Dr. Palmer teach you that you shouldn't interfere in another doctor's operation without any

permission from the operating doctor when you're in someone else's hospital? Didn't he teach you that some

doctors are particular with cleanliness, and you can't wear another doctor's surgical gown without their permission?

If not, Amy, you should send surveillance footage of what happened to Dr. Palmer and let him know not to send any

students like this to my place! I don't welcome just everyone," Abigail reprimanded before leaving the operation

theater.

When she almost reached the exit, she instructed again, "Get her to remove my surgical gown and dispose of it. I

want a new set of surgical gowns. Also, change every surgical equipment that she had ever touched."

Sighing, Amy had no choice but to comply with Abigail's requests.

Since she had been working for Abigail for a long time, she knew Abigail's personality well, but Genevieve might not

be able to handle someone like Abigail well. Abigail couldn't be blamed because Genevieve shouldn't have been so

self-assertive.

Staring at Genevieve's teary eyes and her face that had contorted due to anger, Amy had no choice but to usher

her out. "Please remove the surgical gown, Dr. Leynthall."

This was Genevieve's first time getting reprimanded harshly.

Although she knew that her surgical skills weren't the best, no one had dared to cross her, and all of them spoiled

her due to her family background as well as her close relationship with Greg and Cody. Thus, she couldn't accept it

when Abigail, a woman who was around her age, reprimanded her with such disgust, and Amy asking her to

remove the surgical gown right then was like a slap to her face. At this moment, Genevieve really wanted to dig a

hole and hide in it forever.

"Y-You guys are horrible!"

She removed the surgical gown in anger before turning around and running.

Nevertheless, Abigail couldn't be bothered by the fact that Genevieve was humiliated, as all she knew was how

furious she was.

When Ethan noticed that Abigail still had no intention of carrying out the surgery when she left the operation

theater, his face darkened tremendously as Genevieve leaving in anger had already made him furious.

"Abigail Kain, why are you acting so arrogant in front of me when you're nothing but a small fry? I'm warning you.

You better perform the operation for Zoe, or—"

However, before Ethan could finish what he wanted to say, Abigail took the surgical gloves next to her and threw

them right into Ethan's mouth

"Shut up!" she snapped and left, leaving Ethan to fume in anger.

"Stand right there!"

Although he had already thrown the gloves away, he could still taste the latex in his mouth.

What a b*tch!

This was Ethan's first time meeting such an arrogant woman.

"Stop her. I need to teach that woman a lesson today. Who gave her the audacity to be so arrogant?!"

"I did. What about it?" Greg's voice rang out right after Ethan voiced his displeasure.

Right at that moment, Abigail was taken aback before she turned around in disbelief and saw Greg walking over in

a white casual outfit, followed by Genevieve, who looked embarrassed.

She quickly frowned.

Just then, Abigail couldn't understand why, but she felt somewhat annoyed when she saw how protective Greg was

over Genevieve.

Immediately, her gaze toward Genevieve became hostile.

"Why are you here?" Abigail asked rudely.

Although Greg thought Abigail was ignorant, he ignored her and turned toward Ethan.

"It's such a rare sight to see Young Master Ethan here. What's wrong? Who's in there? Let me go in to take a look!"

he exclaimed before trying to enter the operation theater but was stopped by Ethan.

"Greg Buckley, what are you trying to do?"

"I'm not trying to do anything. However, Abigail is under my care. If you try to do anything to her, I don't mind

getting some benefits from whoever that's inside."

Even though Greg was smiling, it wasn't a genuine smile, and he had a cold demeanor along with a hint of

murderous intent right then.

In that instance, Ethan frowned, and his arrogant stance from just now had completely disappeared.

While Abigail could tell that Ethan didn't back off willingly, she could see that he had finally calmed down.

"Greg, don't you think that it's inappropriate to sabotage our brotherhood because of a woman?"

Ethan's tone had completely lowered. In fact, it even sounded like he was being respectful toward Greg.

Abigail was shocked.

He calls Greg by his name? Those two are actually friends? He really knows everyone, huh?

She harrumphed coldly. "Get out of my hospital if you two want to catch up, and remember to bring the person in

the operation theater out as well," Abigail said before she left.

Trying his best to contain his anger, Ethan questioned Greg, "Are you really not going to do anything about this,

Greg? The person inside right now is Zoe."

Immediately, Greg narrowed his eyes.

How did Zoe end up there?

"Do according to Abigail's instruction and get all your men to leave. As for the operation, I can't give you a definite

answer."

Then, he glanced at Genevieve and sighed. "Come along with me. I'll talk to Abigail, or it'll be hard for you to explain

yourself to Dr. Palmer."

"But she's so stern. How do you even know that woman? I mean, the way she behaves isn't even feminine at all,"

Genevieve pulled on Greg's sleeve before she asked in an angry tone.

"That's enough. Although she has a bad temper, she's a nice person. Come on."

Right when Abigail sat down, she saw Greg leading Genevieve into her office.

"Get out!"

As she was in a bad mood, it was an understatement that she didn't want to greet them at all.

Since Greg and Ethan were friends, it made Abigail feel even more appalled.

"Why are you always like this to everyone? Greg only came here for you. It's fine that you refuse to acknowledge

his good intentions, but you don't have to kick him out. Do you really think that you're that great just because you're

the best surgeon in the world?"

Just then, Genevieve got upset and criticized Abigail while Abigail frowned before giving Genevieve a look and

turning toward Greg.

"What's all this?"

"She's…"

Suddenly, Greg didn't know how to introduce Genevieve.

In the past, he'd gladly let everyone know that Genevieve was his girlfriend, but he somehow couldn't say it when

he met Abigail's angry gaze.

Yet, Genevieve, who was oblivious to the situation, was already upset after getting criticized by Abigail. Now that

Greg was here, she would definitely take this opportunity to get back at Abigail, regardless of what was going to

happen after she returned.

Immediately, Genevieve raised her chin and declared arrogantly, "I'm his girlfriend! What about it?"

Upon hearing that, Abigail was stunned for a moment. While she had always heard that Greg had a girlfriend, she

didn't expect to run into her today.

Besides, it was obvious that she disliked Genevieve. Regardless of Genevieve's status as Greg's girlfriend, Abigail still

disliked her.

"Oh? Did you bring your girlfriend over to confront me? What is this? Mr. Buckley, how would you like me to

apologize to your girlfriend?"

Although Abigail wasn't speaking in a patronizing manner any longer, there was a sneer on her face.

When Greg ran into Genevieve at the entrance of the hospital and saw her sobbing, he softened up and asked her if

she was alright and who made her cry.

However, he was placed in a tough spot after hearing Genevieve's exaggerated story of how Abigail bullied her.

Genevieve was his girlfriend, and Abigail was the mother to his child, and truthfully, he didn't want to cross any of

them at all. However, Genevieve had told him while she was crying that she wouldn't be able to explain herself to

Dr. Palmer if she couldn't complete her scholarly paper.

Greg knew that Jake Palmer was a famous and influential figure in the country, so he braced himself to ask for

mercy from Abigail, but he didn't expect her to treat him like this.

Although Abigail didn't shout or say anything harsh, he could still see the sarcasm and disdain in her eyes.

No one else understood Genevieve better than Greg did. If it was anyone else, he would have forced them to help

Genevieve out with her scholarly paper by all means, but he just couldn't do so when he was facing Abigail. In fact,

he'd even feel that it was terrible for him to stand up for Genevieve in front of Abigail.

At this moment, Greg pulled Genevieve to his back before he whispered, "I just came to check on your injuries since

you ran back without even informing me. Your injuries aren't even healed yet."

Initially, Genevieve thought that Greg would stand up for her, for he would always be relentless until the other party

apologized to her every time she was bullied in the past and thought that he would do the same today. However,

she was baffled when Greg started talking about something else.

"Greg, what are you doing? I'm the one who was wronged. Besides, why are you asking her about her injuries?

Have you gone insane?"

"Get out!" There was a deep frown on Greg's face as he snapped before he pushed Genevieve away.

In that instance, Genevieve was pissed off.

"Why should I get out? I'm your girlfriend. How could you ask me to leave after I got bullied? Greg, are you for

real?!"

"I said get out!"

Suddenly, Greg raised his voice, and his furious expression scared Genevieve.

Greg had never treated her this way ever since she was a child.

Immediately, a disappointed look appeared on her face.

"Greg, it's over between us! Don't even come looking for me anymore!"

Then, she turned around and ran out. Initially, she thought that Greg would run after her, as that was how it always

was in the past. However, it wasn't going to happen this time.
