Abigail was taken aback by a sense of surprise. Can someone who appears to be a thug really be considered a star?
"I'm Simond Simpson, the only son of the Simpson Family in Capitalis. Have you heard of me before?" Simond approached and asked her.
Abigail had vaguely heard of the Simpson Family, who returned from abroad a year ago and caused a sensation in Capitalis. However, it was purely speculative information. No one knew for sure what the family did or what they were like.
"Not very familiar," Abigail replied, ready to turn and leave.
Simond grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
This angered Abigail, causing her to face him with anger. He removed the mask from her face with a slight smile. "Sharing a mask may not be hygienic, but I don't mind."
"If you wanted the mask, why didn't you say so earlier?" she asked, suppressing her anger.
"I forgot." He shrugged, appearing nonchalant.
"I need to leave!" Abigail didn't want to argue with him. In this secluded location, there should be few who recognize her.
She quickly walked away.
Simond had injuries on his body, so he furrowed his brow and followed Abigail without saying a word.
Abigail found a shopping cart, bought milk powder, and went to the cashier at the entrance to pay. She discreetly glanced outside and saw that there was no movement.
Simond stood by her side and noticed her gaze. He smiled. "Honey, let me pay for you."
The hand that Abigail used to hold her phone trembled. Then, she glared at him. "Who do you think you are?! If you keep calling me that, there will be consequences!"
"Oh, why so intense?" Simond's voice still carried a smile.
Abigail remained silent, her face stern. After paying, she went outside and found that the suspicious men had already disappeared. Simond seemed very nervous at that moment. Scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, he found no enemies but remained vigilant, not relaxing. Just as Abigail was about to leave, he hugged her shoulder.
"Take me to the hospital. If you make any noise, you're finished," Simond threatened Abigail in a low voice.
Abigail didn't say anything and could only pretend to be an intimate couple with him.
The hospital was close to the grocery store. As they walked through the hospital's entrance, Simond suddenly relaxed. He handed the shopping bag to Abigail, covered his abdomen with his hand, and took a deep breath.
"Are you hurt?" Abigail asked him casually.
He looked up at her, his eyes curving upward again. "Oh, thanks to you, Abigail. I will propose to you in Capitalis and repay you for saving my life."
"You will eventually regret your big mouth," Abigail warned him, picking up her things and leaving.
"What about the baby?" Abigail asked, feeling a bit dizzy. Everything feels like a dream.
Was Luna's argument with Josh all because of this, and who injected the medication into her body?
