Chapter 769 Did You Forgive Me
Dr. Thiago spoke with a serious expression, showing no hint of favoritism or misconduct.
Upon hearing the man's words, Rebecca nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Dr. Thiago."
"No need to thank me. It's my job."
After speaking, Dr. Thiago walked to the medical kit and took out a few boxes of medicine for Abbot. He placed them on the bedside table and said, "Follow the instructions for taking the medicine and take it on time."
Abbot pretended to be grateful and replied, "Thank you, Dr. Thiago."
The man glanced back at Abbot and gave him a meaningful smile without saying a word.
A few minutes later, Rebecca sent Dr. Thiago off.
When she returned, she saw Abbot sitting up in bed, supporting himself with his hands as he coughed.
Seeing that, Rebecca hurriedly approached and supported him, "Why are you getting up?"
"Hack... Hack... It's getting late. Hack... Hack... Hack... I should go home. Hack... Hack... Hack...."
Rebecca pursed her lips and helped Abbot lean against the headboard, "You didn't hear what Dr. Thiago said just now? He advised you not to go out for now. Catching a cold could worsen your condition."
Abbot continued, "But... Hack... Hack... Hack...."
Rebecca frowned and said, "Alright, stop with the "but". Look at how bad is your coughing now. Take your medicine first."
Abbot obediently opened his mouth and took the medicine. Then, in a hoarse voice, he asked, "Will Mrs. Black and Mr. Black be upset if I stay over here?"
Rebecca put down the water glass and continued, "You're in such a condition, and you're worried about whether others will be upset?"
Suppressing his cough, Abbot said, "I'm just afraid of causing you trouble."
Rebecca shook her head and added, "It's fine. Don't overthink it. Just rest for now."
After saying that, Rebecca helped Abbot to lie down.
Abbot took the opportunity to grab Rebecca's hand and placed it on his chest. He coughed a few times and asked, "Becca, have you forgiven me?"
Rebecca curled her fingers slightly and replied, "Mm."
Abbot looked earnestly at Rebecca and said, "I know I was wrong in this matter. I swear there won't be a next time."
Rebecca pursed her lips and replied, "You better not swear. It's raining outside, and the glass of my window isn't very sturdy."
Meanwhile, Colin and the others arrived at Ethan's villa.
Ethan went inside to look for Violet, while Colin and Faye waited in the car.
Colin held onto Faye's hand with their fingers interlocked, and gently rubbed them. With his other hand, he took out his phone from his pocket and browsed his TimeLine.
In just an hour, Abbot's video of kneeling in the rain to apologize had flooded his TimeLine
Colin playfully handed his phone to Faye and said, "Abbot is kneeling his way to fame this time."
On the screen, Matthew's first post on his TimeLine stood out with a striking title, "Devoted to love. Passionate for love. Mr. Carter bangs his head against the wall for love."
Beneath the title was the video of Abbot kneeling in the rain.
Ethan had already liked that post, but he didn't leave a comment.
The first comment came from Maxwell, "Compared to other love stories that happen on rainy days, my nephew, Abbot seems to have the best."
The second comment was from Robert. He concisely left a string of question marks without saying any words.
Next was the elusive Owen, "My best friend, Abbot is in love!"
At the same time, the rear car door opened from the outside, and Ethan entered with Violet.
Colin put away his phone and turned to greet Violet with a smile, "Ms. Rowan, long time no see."
Ever since revealing her true colors in front of them last time, Violet remained awkward, smiled with embarrassment, and said, "Mr. Farrell, it's been a while."
Faye smiled and turned her head to look at Violet, asking, "What would you like to eat?"
Compared to Colin, Violet was more familiar with Faye. She smiled awkwardly and replied, "I'll go with your choice."
Faye said, "Today's meal is mainly to welcome you. You must choose something you like."
Upon hearing Faye's words, Violet didn't decline further and said, "Barbeque?"
Faye agreed readily, "Sure."
Colin raised his eyebrow playfully and said, "Ethan, barbeque?"
Just moments ago, Abbot had assumed it was Rebecca knocking on the door. Before he could even say "Come in," he had unbuttoned his shirt halfway and struck a pose, flaunting himself.
Little did he expect that it was Rebecca's father who entered.
Abbot's unreserved expression was caught by Rebecca's father's discerning eyes.
Being a man who had been living for so many years, Rebecca's father knew Abbot's intentions very well.
Rebecca's father cleared his throat gently and said, "Feeling hot, Mr. Carter?"
Abbot felt awkward while raising a hand to button up his shirt. He said, "Yes, having a high fever. Yes... Feeling a bit hot."
Rebecca's father agreed pretentiously, "Indeed, you seem quite sick."
Abbot agreed, "Yes, indeed."
The atmosphere stagnated once more after Abbot's response.
After a while, Rebecca's father cleared his throat again and said, "Please get some rest."
Abbot breathed a sigh of relief and answered, "Yes, Mr. Black."
Abbot watched Rebecca's father leave, then let out a deep breath, and thought to himself, "Geez, that was close."
On the other side, Colin and the others were in a private room, placing their orders.
Ethan turned to Colin and asked, "Did you find the dance studio?"
Leaning back in his chair, Colin smirked at the question and answered, "Found one, and we've already signed the lease contract."
Ethan responded earnestly, "Thank you."
Colin smiled and tilted slightly toward Ethan. In a hushed voice that only they could hear, he asked, "You've brought her back now. What's your plan?"
Ethan responded, "Start by testing the waters."
"What if that doesn't work?"
Ethan's lips quirked up slightly, and he picked up a lighter from the table, playing with it in his hand. Then, he said confidently, "It will work."
