The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 532 Truly His Right-hand Man Cameron called Abigail just a few days after her return to Capitalis. âMs. Quinn, please come and see Mr. Graham. He hasnât woken up even after eating,â he said, his voice filled with desperation. He had intended to keep Seanâs accident a secret, but unintentionally offended both Abigail and Sean.
Sean almost fainted in anger when he found out that only Abigail had been kept in the dark. Cameron feared that if she didnât visit Sean soon, he would be demoted once Sean fully recovered, while Xavien. would be promoted.
âIâm not a doctor. You should call a doctor instead,â Abigail replied flatly, sounding completely indifferent.
âMs. Quinn, Iâm sorry for hiding this from you. Please come and see Mr. Graham so that he wonât punish me when he wakes up!
Just come and see him once, and Iâll pray to God every day for your success at work!â Cameron begged. If she were standing before him at that moment, he would beg her on his knees.
Abigail coldly refused, âIâm busy with work. If thereâs anything, go see a doctor. With that, she hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Cameron looked at a sickly-looking Scan, who was resting in bed and glaring at him. âCameron, why did I do all of this?â Sean uttered through clenched teeth.
âIt was my fault- Cameron apologized ruefully.
âItâs okay if you keep everyone in the dark, but why did you tell Old Mrs. Quinn and not Abigail?â chided. Sean. If he had the strength, he would have gotten out of bed and kicked this idiot right now. He had risked his life for this, only to wake up and find that his relationship with Abigail had worsened.
âOld Mrs. Quinn didnât hear it from me,â muttered Cameron, trying to defend himself.
âGet out! Just seeing your face pisses me off,â said Sean in disgust. He closed his eyes, deciding to ignore everyone.
Early the next morning, Abigail finished her breakfast and was planning to go to Fairy Meadow for a meeting when she ran into a humble Cameron just outside her office. âMs. Quinn, starting from today, Iâm your loyal assistant. Just call my name, and Iâll be at your service!â he said.
Abigail looked at him and scoffed. âAre you unemployed again?â
âUh... I have always been your bodyguard, havenât I? Iâm back on duty today,â said Cameron, trying to please her.
âI think Sean needs you more,â Abigail shot back and then walked toward the parking lot.
Cameron couldnât bear it anymore. He clutched her sleeve and began pleading with her mournfully. âI really messed up! Iâm sorry! I shouldnât have kept it from you and lied to you. Please forgive me and give me a chance to make up for my mistakes!â
âSince when did you become so shameless, Cameron?â asked Abigail. I remember he used to be quite a formidable character.
Why is he acting like this now?
Cameron gently shook her sleeve, saying pitifully, âI only act like this in front of you, Ms. Quinn. In heart, you come first, while Mr.
Graham could only come second!â
my O 1/2 Abigail pulled her sleeve out of his grasp, not bothering to pay him any attention.
Cameron let out a yelp and trotted up to her, blinking in a pitiful manner. âMs. Quinn, Iâm broken in body. but firm in spirit, you see. I canât get along with Mr. Graham anymore. Can you please have mercy on me and take me in?â
Abigail was so angry at his pathetic demeanor that she laughed instead. Only Sean could raise such a shameless fellow.
Nevertheless, seeing that he only had one eye, she finally relented. âHave you had breakfast?â she asked in a softer tone of voice.
âOf course. As your most reliable assistant, how can I let my trivial affairs get in the way of your important duties?â Cameron replied, behaving like an eager-to-please dog wagging its tail.
Abigail reached out and patted his head. âGood boy. If you ever betray me and hide things from me again, youâll be out. Do you understand?â
âAbsolutely!â Cameron kept his head down and let her pat his head.
Abigail felt sympathy for him. After returning from her meeting at Fairy Meadow, she had him drive her to the airport.
tricks When Abigail returned to the Graham Estate, Analise thought to herself that Cameron really had some up his sleeve. He managed to bring her back in just half a day. No wonder heâs been Seanâs right- hand man for so many years.
Abigail greeted her and went upstairs.
Sean was resting with his eyes closed. He ignored the sound of the door opening; it wasnât until he heard the click-clack of high heels on the floor that his eyes snapped open to look at Abigail. He appeared emaciated and sickly, but his eyes were sparkling.
âYouâre awake?â Abigail came to his bedside and lowered her gaze to look at him.
Sean grunted in response and then immediately explained after a moment of silence, âI didnât know anything after I passed out, nor did I think that Cameron would keep it from you alone. I never meant to exclude you.â
Abigail nodded in understanding. âI understand. Take care of yourself. Graham Internationalâs share price is plummeting now-
âItâll bounce back eventually. Donât even think about letting me go back to work right after I get better,â Sean interrupted her. Does she only care about me for the sake of Graham Internationalâs share price?
âYouâre right. Youâre extraordinarily capable, unlike me, who values what people have worked hard for more than anything else,â
replied Abigail blandly, recalling what he had once said. He seems so indifferent to everything I have because heâs at the apex of his industry. So, what I can offer to repay him is nothing at all to him.
Sean caught the sarcasm behind her words.
