Not One, But Two!

Chapter 268

"Do you think I'm not good enough? Did you think I'd lie to you? I can't believe you bought all the tripe that the crackpot doctor just said. So what do you think now that he said you have a permanent ED?"

Abigail was irked every time she thought about that. What the hell is he thinking? Everyone would want to get better, so why not him? Yeah, it's hard to handle, but not impossible. I'm the best surgeon in the world, and he doesn't even believe me? The more she thought about it, the madder she was.

Greg was frustrated with the questions. He pulled his blanket down and decided to not hold back either. "You were too embarrassed to tell me, so of course I asked for a second opinion."

"What do you mean I'm too embarrassed to tell you?" Abigail thought he was being oversensitive. He cares about that part too much. She was not sure if he was reading too much into it though. "Just listen to me. I can heal you."

"You're lying. I can't even get it up now, so… so…"

He wanted to say she could just date anyone else, but he couldn't bring himself to say that. He was too reluctant to give up, but it would be selfish of him to keep her all for himself when he had ED. That would be bad for her.

Abigail's face fell. What is he trying to say? "Are you trying to push me away, you b*stard?"

Greg did not answer that question, but it proved that Abigail's guess was right.

"F*ck! You're really a b*stard!" She pulled him up furiously. "You barged into my life, and you think you can just leave whenever you want? No way! You're coming with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and we're gonna get married! You're mine forever!"

Greg would love to get married, but now he thought that proposal was annoying. "No!" he refused, albeit very reluctantly.

Abigail felt like exploding. "What did you say?"

"No! You can do whatever you want, but I'm not going!" Greg was irked as well. Hey, I just got diagnosed with ED, and now I have to stay calm too? That's a bit too far. Can't you be a little understanding?

Abigail was annoyed by his obstinance. "Are you going back on your word?"

"Yes!"

"So you don't want to marry me?"

"No." Greg felt worse with every word he said. He felt like crying in the end.

Abigail could not believe him. She would not entertain him if he refused to see sense. "Fine. Fine! You can kill yourself and die in a hole alone for all I care!" She stormed off.

Solomon heard everything outside, and he was too scared to enter. It would be bad if Greg took his anger out on him. He then heard Greg smashing something in the room. Wow. I wonder what he's throwing around? That sounds scary. Solomon shook his head.

One of his lackeys hurried over to him. "Bad news, sir."

"What is it? Tell me," Solomon asked quickly.

The lackey said, "Prince Erdslaf has made his move. He's taken all our men prisoners and demands to see you at this place. And I heard Mr. Buckley's men have turned on us as well. There's Prince Erdslaf's spies among them."

Solomon's face fell. "Greg!"

He came in and saw Greg holding his phone. The look on his face was deadly grim. "S-So you know?"

"Damn Erdslaf! He even kidnapped my cousin!" Greg gritted his teeth. Just won't let me catch a break, huh?

"So what now?" Solomon told him about how Erdslaf wanted to see him.

Greg sneered. "You'll go to this meeting and tell him you're not helping anyone. You're just Peter's kid. Tell him that, and he won't do anything to you."

"What about you?" Solomon was worried about him.

Greg squinted. "I'll kill off the traitors, but I need a squad with me to bust my cousin out."

"But you don't have a squad."

"I do. Well, Abigail does."

Greg wanted to borrow a few men from Abigail. She was Peter's daughter. Peter would never help him out because of their grudge, but Abigail could talk her way through Peter. But I just pissed her off. Greg was in a dilemma.

Solomon knew what happened. It would be hard for Greg to ask for help, so he said, "Why don't I ask her?"

"Sure," Greg agreed immediately.

Solomon found Abigail soon enough.

He told her what happened, but she said, "No."

"What? Why?" Solomon was surprised. Why wouldn't she help?

Abigail looked at him. "Why should I help a stranger?"

"Greg's cousin is kidnapped. She could be in danger. You can't just stand by while an innocent life is in danger."

"So? That's none of my business. She's not my family. It's his cousin, not mine."

Crap. I see what's going on. "I know you're fighting with Greg, but this is an emergency. Can this wait until we save—"

"No!" Abigail refused. "Tell Greg he needs to marry me if he wants my help. I can mobilize everyone if he does that. His family is my family, but only if he marries me. If he refuses, then I'm not risking my men for a stranger."

Oh, so she's forcing a marriage? Wow. She's the only one who can do that to Greg. "Do you want to tell him that yourself?"

"Sure." Abigail was a lot braver than Solomon was, and she came back to Greg's room again, unafraid of his tantrum.

Greg was a little frustrated seeing her, but Gillian needed his help, so he said, "I need a few men to help me out, Abigail. I have to save Gillian."

"Sure. Marry me and I'll help you out." Abigail was obsessed about this, but it only made Greg more upset.

"Can't this wait?"

"No. Marry me, and I'll help you. Refuse, and you're on your own."

Greg felt annoyed about her forcing him. "You're forcing me into this?"

"Duh. You wouldn't listen to me. You just had to read too much into this, so I have to force you. What? You think you can pump and dump me? The kids are yours! I have proof! You're not going to leave me just like that, you b*stard."

He sounded like a villain in her story, and Greg felt a little miffed. "I never said I would leave."

"But you don't want to marry me anymore!" Abigail's anger flared up again. "You're a man, and men keep their promises! You can't run away from your problems."

"But I can't marry you like this, Abigail. Don't force me. We can talk about this anytime we want, but Gillian might not have that time!" Greg was in a hurry.

Abigail knew this was a bad idea, but she had no choice. Greg's wound was a hard one to treat, and she was not sure if she could heal him. She had to force him, or they might go their own separate ways in the end. They went through hell just to get together, and she would not give up no matter what. "I'll save Gillian, but only after you marry me. We'll do it right after that."

"Abigail!"

"You said you'd promise King one thing if she treated you to a meal. Does that still stand?"

Greg was surprised she would ask that. "Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"

"Because I am King. I've treated you a lot of times, so you owe me one promise." Abigail called Carter to prove that she was really King.

"It's been a while, King. I'm surprised you called."

Greg could recognize Carter's voice, and he was surprised, though that did explain a few things. If Abigail was really King, then that would explain why she helped Buckley Group. It was surprising, but he accepted it. He knew how great a surgeon Abigail was. "So you want me to marry you, I take it?"

"Yes!" Abigail knew forcing him to marry her by holding his cousin hostage would put a strain on their relationship, but she did not care. He was her husband no matter if she could heal him or not. She would stay loyal to him even if she failed to heal him.

Greg stared at Abigail. He felt uneasy and angry, even. Still, he was touched that she had the resolve to marry him. She was probably worried he might go berserk if he could not get it up ever again. Well, I can't let this go, so might as well go with it. "Fine. I'll do it."

Abigail heaved a sigh of relief and told Solomon he could mobilize as many men as he wanted, while she drove all the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Greg and got married right away. They still found it unbelievable even though they already had the certificate to show for it.

"Now let's head to Harrion and save Gillian." Abigail smiled. She, Greg, and Peter's men went back to Harrion to save Gillian.

All the news said was terrorists abducted Gillian. They had to keep the peace between two nations after all. They also said Genevieve worked with the terrorists to kidnap her own colleague, but Greg saved Gillian and tossed Genevieve into the red-light district.

Greg used to like Genevieve, but now he could finally forget all about her.

Peter found out her daughter and Greg got married. He and Adeline came to Harrion and talked with Valerie about the wedding. Alissa and Arianna were over the moon, and they kept gushing about the wedding.

Everyone was excited about the wedding—everyone but the bride and groom. Things were tense between them.

Greg had been holding his annoyance back. He just got diagnosed with ED, but Abigail forced him into marrying him. He liked it, but he just felt miffed. Gillian was in danger back then, but Abigail held her hostage and made him marry her. That's just ridiculous! Because of that, he had been refusing Abigail every time she tried to heal him.

The fight had gone on for a week, and Abigail was furious. Eventually, she confronted Greg in his room. She asked coldly, "So you're just going to act like that forever?"

"Well, you forced me into this," he blurted and regretted it right away. He felt like slapping himself when he noticed how hurt Abigail was. However, he was still miffed that she threatened him, so he just stood there in silence. That only made Abigail angrier though.

She went and tore his shirt apart, making the buttons pop out and fall to the ground. Greg was shocked she would do that.

"What are you doing?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm cashing in on my rights. I want to f*ck you."

Greg would have thought this was fun, but now, he thought she was mocking her. Abigail, of all people, should know about his condition. And she's still mocking me? Blood rushed up his head. "Are you mad? Do you think I won't lay a finger on you?"

"You can try! I'd love to see if you'd abuse a poor lady like me. Do it and I'll make sure everyone in Harrion knows you're an abuser by tomorrow. You won't even have to fight me. I'll sign the divorce papers first!"

Greg wanted to get angry, but he could not. Abigail took her chance. Taking a deep breath, she pulled his pants down right when he was still spacing out.

"Abigail!" Greg felt like exploding. He wanted to fight her, but she was on par with him. They went at it buck naked and got tangled together in just a moment.

Abigail knew his body well. She kept touching and arousing him. Greg could hold it in at first, but he eventually got hot and bothered. He pushed her away and tried to leave, but she stopped him. "You wouldn't have gotten it up if you weren't healed, Greg! Look at you! There's nothing to be afraid of!" Tears swirled in her eyes. Greg had been refusing treatment for a week, so she had no choice but to mix the medicine in his food and drinks. Fortunately, it worked.

Greg looked down, but what he saw shocked him. "Um…" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Don't 'um' me! I'm your wife and the best surgeon in the world. I'd be ruining my own reputation if I can't even heal you!" Abigail felt like crying. Greg had been stubbornly refusing her advances, thinking that there was no hope for him, so she had no choice but to be aggressive in the end.

Greg froze for a moment, then delight filled him. I'm healed? I'm healed!

He was in disbelief. She approached him and stood on tiptoe to give him a kiss. The air itself turned hotter and heavier. Greg picked her up, and they went to bed.

Greg felt refreshed after he had sex with her. He kept apologizing to Abigail as well. Regaining his erection was just like being reborn. Abigail brushed his apology off and left. She refused him when he tried to initiate sex again. Hey, I had to go through all sorts of stuff just to heal you. Now that you're okay, I'll make you pay for what you did to me.

A great wedding took place in Harrion a month later. Peter led Abigail down the aisle, slowly leading her up to Greg. The girls held up their mother's gown, happily witnessing the moment their mother got

married to their father. When Greg finally held her hand, Abigail knew she would live a happy life. Greg Buckley was worthy of her.
