After hanging up the phone, Gaspar left to bid Micah goodbye. He had had enough of playing games with Vinson and wanted nothing more than to seize Nightshire Group back.
At that moment, however, Micah was fuming and glaring at Abigail. It was time for his acupuncture session, yet Arielle hadn't taken the initiative to go to him. Since he had to leave in a couple of days, he ordered his subordinates to fetch her, only to find out Abigail had thrown her into the sea.
“Tell me. Why did you throw Arielle into the sea?” Micah scolded. I honestly don't want to lose my temper at Abigail, but how could I not when her actions have put my health at stake?
“She diagnosed herself with viral hemorrhagic fever, one of the most infectious and fatal diseases, so how can I risk exposing you to it? What if you contracted it from her and died? What would the kids and I do without you?” Abigail said while choking back tears. Despite being almost forty, she was still irresistibly alluring, to the point where Micah's heart ached at the sight of her tearing up.
“Even so, you didn't have to throw her into the sea. She's a doctor, and I'm sure she'll find a way to cure herself. I still need her to nurse me back to health, for goodness' sake. You're too impatient!” Micah replied as he gently wiped away Abigail's tears. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't care about what happens to Arielle or any other woman. Unfortunately, my health is now an issue.
Micah gazed at Abigail, not knowing what to say.
I've traveled to so many places, but Arielle was the only one who could diagnose me with just one look and cure me within a month. Alas, the current situation has dashed my hopes for a full recovery.
“She's Chanaean, isn't she? If worse comes to worst, we'll go there. I'm sure she isn't the only one in Chanaea who's gifted in medicine,” Abigail reasoned.
Micah isn't the only one who needs medical treatment. I need it too! I want to give him another baby! If he hadn't developed ulterior motives toward Arielle, I'd have fought to keep her around despite her illness. It's all Micah's fault for revealing his feelings and making me scared of losing him!
Micah's eyes instantly lit up at Abigail's suggestion. Oh, that's a brilliant idea! Once my work is all settled, I can head to Chanaea for a short break and get a doctor to examine me.
“All right, let's do as you say!” he exclaimed before being informed by his subordinates that Gaspar had arrived. With that, Micah immediately instructed them to send the young man in.
“I'll leave you two to it, then. I'll get the housekeepers to prepare dinner,” Abigail said as she made her way to the kitchen like the gentle, loving wife she was. Micah couldn't help but break into a smile. Oh, wouldn't it be nice if we had another son?
Abigail had just stepped into the kitchen when Gaspar showed up, saying the goods had been delivered and it was time to take his leave.
Having known each other for almost a decade, Micah knew how busy Gaspar was and merely handed a card to him with a nod. “Here, this is the payment for the goods. What time are you leaving?”
Gaspar's original plan was to leave that very day, but in the end, he changed his mind at the last minute. “I'll set off tomorrow morning!”
“Good. Stay for dinner and take it as a farewell meal from us. Abigail has already told our housekeepers to start cooking,” Micah replied with a chuckle. Of course, Gaspar was only too happy to comply.
Anna joined them for dinner later that night, and it wasn't long before she learned about Gaspar leaving the island. She turned to him immediately and blurted out, “I want to go with you.”
