Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 539: I am the One Who is Willing to Sacrifice
Chapter 539: Chapter 539: I am the One Who is Willing to Sacrifice
After this university skills competition, Lena and the others gained a deeper understanding of medicine. When Jeffrey finished speaking, they realized this wasn’t an ordinary surgery.
Not to mention, even top doctors seldom had the opportunity to observe such a high-level surgery.
Everyone was already eager to try. When Jeffrey said this, their eyes brightened, including Abigail, who also froze slightly. Had their previous research project succeeded?
Abigail’s heartbeat sped up uncontrollably. That was the culmination of her many years of effort. Had it really succeeded?
"This time, your Headmaster Theodore will also be involved in the surgery. Everyone, don’t be too nervous." Jeffrey teased a few of them.
"Headmaster Theodore is not a monster. Why should we be afraid? Abigail, you should go too. Just observe the surgery. You’re so amazing; you can’t miss witnessing this historical moment." Lena knew Abigail probably wanted to avoid suspicion, but with such a great opportunity before her, she didn’t want Abigail to miss it because of some rumors.
Abigail hesitated. Everyone was going, and Headmaster Theodore would be there, so nothing unexpected should happen.
But she had just promised Brandon not to join the research lab...
Yes, she was just going to observe the successful project she had previously worked on. She would leave right after the surgery. It shouldn’t take too much time.
From studying medicine at the age of three to now, twenty-seven years later, most of her life had been dedicated to medicine. Now, her own research results were about to be clinically applied. The temptation was too great for Abigail.
"Go for it, Abigail. You can’t give up your dreams because of some rumors." Wilson encouraged Abigail.
"How can you miss witnessing a moment in history?" Davis, rarely interested in such events, thought this was worth the excitement.
Sophie didn’t say anything, but Abigail could see she wanted to go. If Abigail refused, Sophie might also give up.
After hesitating for some time, Abigail reluctantly nodded.
Jeffrey’s expression remained unchanged. Looking at the few people, he said, "Since everyone has decided, Friday’s surgery class will directly change to a field trip."
"Okay!" Lena and the others agreed.
With that, the matter was settled. Jeffrey didn’t say anything more and directly dispersed the group.
Sophie looked at Abigail, who still seemed hesitant. "Don’t worry, I won’t report this to Master Hudson."
Abigail looked up, knowing what Sophie was worried about, and smiled, "Heh, aren’t you afraid he’ll dock your pay?"
Sophie shrugged, "I’d risk my life to accompany a gentleman."
Abigail scoffed, "I think I’m the one risking my life."
"What are you two talking about? All secretive." Lena curiously approached them.
"Discussing why Abigail’s collar is buttoned up so tightly today." Sophie raised an eyebrow coolly.
Lena froze for a moment, then curiously went to pull at Abigail’s collar. "Abigail, did you and Master Hudson... last night..."
Slap, slap, slap!
Lena didn’t want to ask directly and slapped her hand toward Abigail.
But everyone understood.
Abigail blushed, "You’re such a grown-up girl, not learning well, what are you thinking about?"
"Not that young. We’re the same age; if you can get involved, why can’t I ask?" Lena discarded her remaining modesty.
"Who said we’re the same age?" Abigail straightened her chest.
Lena’s eyes widened, "You... you... Abigail, you’ve changed!"
Abigail laughed, feeling that her boundaries had loosened slightly under Kelly’s influence.
Little did she know, turning around, she saw Wilson’s red face. "Uh... could you ladies consider the male classmates behind you when chatting?"
Having just lost to Abigail, Lena sought revenge on Wilson here, "Male classmates? Where? Where are the male classmates?"
Wilson and Master Hudson, "..."
Fine!
This little commotion shifted everyone’s attention away from Abigail, giving her a sigh of relief. In the future, she still needed a certain man at home to be mindful of the impact.
But about going to the research lab tomorrow to observe the surgery, should she not tell that man?
If she told him, could she still go?
Abigail seriously considered this question and decided it was better to tell him.
Little did she know, when she went back in the evening, Brandon wasn’t home.
"Back to Gills City?" Abigail was slightly surprised by Housekeeper Piers’ words. How come the man hadn’t mentioned returning before?
But returning to Gills City without telling her?
"Master Hudson called you, but couldn’t get through, so he asked me to inform you." Housekeeper Piers explained.
Abigail nodded, puzzled by the suddenness. She looked at Housekeeper Piers, "Is there some problem with Grandfather Piers?"
"It should be work-related. The old man had a video chat with the young master yesterday." Housekeeper Piers didn’t want Abigail to worry about Elder Piers.
Abigail still felt uneasy. She thought for a moment and dialed Brandon’s number. It was powered off.
"He should still be on the plane."
"Well, I’ll call him later." After speaking, Abigail went to accompany Teddy.
After dinner, Abigail played with Teddy until 9 PM. After putting the little guy to sleep, she dialed Brandon’s number again. This time it went through, but he didn’t answer.
While feeling anxious, she received a message from him, "Busy, sleep early."
Just as she was about to inquire further, another message arrived, "Be good."
Abigail’s slightly restless emotions were soothed. She replied with a cute emoji and finally lay down peacefully.
The bedding and sheets hadn’t been changed since yesterday. Abigail hugged them, feeling that they still held Brandon’s fresh scent. She couldn’t help but nuzzle them, missing the nights she spent in his arms after just one night apart.
Humans found it easy to shift from frugality to luxury, but the opposite was hard.
Abigail rolled around on the bed with the covers, wondering if she should explain things on Facebook to him. Then she shook her head, thinking it would be more troublesome to explain there. It was better to talk face-to-face. She sent him another kiss emoji before quickly turning off her phone to sleep.
The next day, Peter drove her to school.
After the morning class, Abigail and the others were called out by the director of education, then taken by school bus to Jeffrey’s research lab.
They were on the school bus, with Headmaster Theodore onboard too, which relaxed Abigail quite a bit.
Upon arrival, Abigail realized Jeffrey had such a large research lab in Swallow City, almost as big as Sincere’s. She couldn’t help but glance at the man in a white lab coat walking ahead.
Since her rebirth, Abigail found herself increasingly unable to understand this senior brother.
The person she once thought she knew turned out to be unfamiliar.
In the lab, they were immediately taken to change into sterile clothing.
Jeffrey began preparing for the surgery, and Abigail saw Irene Wallis.
Irene saw her too.
Their previous encounters hadn’t left Abigail with a good impression of her former assistant. But seeing her naturally help Jeffrey with his surgical gown’s ties, Abigail felt they had a very harmonious relationship.
As for Jeffrey’s talk about traditional Flowery medicine and alcohol that day, it was probably just gibberish.
