Abigail glanced at him with her attractive big eyes, her red lips curved slightly. She smiled charmingly, saying, "I'm afraid I have to see Anson first. Maybe later."
Adonis was speechless.
"It will take only a few minutes." He frowned at Abigail. This woman was indeed very beautiful, mature, and charming. Above all, she was capable at work. No wonder Anson was so mesmerized by her that he had almost lost his life.
Abigail managed to maintain her smile. "I said we can talk later." Her tone was extremely arrogant. She knew what Adonis wanted to say.
However, things had already happened. No matter what he said, it was useless.
Being slapped in the face, Adonis felt burning on his cheek. He glared at her and simpered, “Does he know how arrogant you are?" Abigail's expression darkened slightly. "Adonis, watch your mouth. You've picked the wrong person to quarrel with." If he weren't Anson's best friend, Abigail would not let him go after talking to her like that.
Adonis laughed fearlessly, "I am not afraid of anyone when it comes to quarrel. My buddy Anson almost died for you. Do you know?"
Adonis's eyes were full of fury. He had been scolded so badly by Anson, but he still stood up for him.
He was indeed a loyal friend.
But He was out of his mind.
"Adonis, cut it off. Don't vent your anger to Abigail! You can't blame her for this," Graciella said at the side. She knew his bad temper very well. He cared too much about his brothers, and he was afraid that this kind of thing would happen again.
Eden agreed, "Mr. Church, Abby didn't know such a thing would happen!"
Adonis looked at Eden, his eyes cold. "Director Bleu, don’t you pretend to be innocent. You seduced Victor...”
Victor suddenly roared angrily, "Adonis, don't cross the line."
"Cross the line?" Adonis's eyes were slightly cold. He looked at Victor and said, "Victor, aren't you waiting for Eden Clement? Why did you fail to resist the temptation? What if Eden Clement comes back?”
Victor frowned. He had forgotten he hadn't told Adonis about it.
Eden was lost for words.
She cast a glance at Victor.
Victor shook his head slightly at her.
Eden got to know that Adonis did not know she was Eden Clement yet. Everyone knew the truth except him. When he knew it, he must be even angrier.
Graciella looked at Adonis. She had to admit Victor was right keeping secrets from Adonis. After all, he was quite a big mouth.
Now, they couldn't tell him the truth yet.
"Well, let's go in and see Anson first." Victor's face was gloomy. It was his car that Anson had been driving in the accident. Victor had been intending to drive it to the trade fair but changed his mind when noticing it smell strange. He had been afraid that Eden would feel uncomfortable with the smell.
If it hadn't been replaced at the time, he and Eden would have been the ones who had had the accident.
The car was under investigation now, and he would know whether someone had done something to it soon.
They entered the ward.
Anson was put on a drip, his head was wrapped in gauze, and his face pale and haggard. He looked quite pitiful.
His gaze had been fixed on Abigail's pretty face since they had entered.
"Abby, I'm sorry, I stood you up. I promise I will never do this again," Anson explained in a hoarse voice.
