He knew Xander was not in a good mood for the past few days. But it did not seem to him that there was something wrong with Xander's health.Of course, Dr. Sander could not tell him that Xander asked her to come and check on Abigail. So, she said, "It's just a routine body check-up. I'm going to find Mr. Zane now. You may go and do your work."Keith responded, "Mr. Zane went to the restroom. You have to wait for a while."Dr. Sander said, "Okay."...Abigail went to the restroom and saw in the mirror that her nose was swollen and turned very red. It was like a cooked pig's nose, especially ugly.She thought, 'When I bumped into that guy, my nose just turned a little red. Why did it get swollen so quickly?'If I go and meet clients with Xander looking like this, I'll surely affect the image of the Zane Corporation. Xander won't tolerate it.'I must stop the bleeding now before thinking of ways to reduce the swelling quickly. I mustn't delay my work.'Abigail bent down and lower

Abigail disconsolately shook her head. "It's nothing."Dr. Sander then said, "Don't blame Xander. He did that because he cared for you."Abigail noncommittally responded, "Okay."Dr. Sander did not want to continue to defend Xander.After a short while of silence, Abigail noticed she was getting closer to the house. She said, "Dr. Sander, Mr. Spencer, let's go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and prepare for Easter Eve together, okay?"Dr. Sander patted Abigail's hand and said, "What you need to do now is rest properly. Just say what you want to eat for Easter Eve. Someone will prepare the dishes for you."Abigail pointed at her nose as she responded, "Dr. Sander, do you really think I need to stay in my bed for this injury?"Dr. Sander replied, "Abigail, it's not important whether I think it's necessary or not. What matters is Xander thinks you need rest. You better listen to him."Dr. Sander's words somehow suddenly reminded Abigail of Emma and Ron.Emma mentioned

Abigail was quite confident about her cooking skills. "Then, you guys can be my assistants. I'll be the main cook today."Dr. Sander was excellent at treating patients, but she could not really cook. She responded, "Sure."Abigail then asked Dr. Sander and Paxton to help her with the preparation for what they were going to cook.It would take a longer time to cook the bone broth that was needed for the lamb stew. So, Abigail started with that. She rinsed the lamb to remove any odor before putting it into the pot to stew it. She then slowly simmered the bones in the casserole.Three of them worked together, cleaning and cutting the vegetables. It did not take them long to finish preparing the vegetables.Abigail thought, 'The time in Chrysalis is six hours ahead of Paridale. The TV show will start at 8 o'clock at night. So, that'll be 2 o'clock in the afternoon in Paridale.'It's almost twelve at noon now. When Xander and the others are back from work later, it'll be just in time.

Abigail tapped her gently on the forehead. "Little missy, what on earth is going on in that pretty head of yours? What could possibly happen between your brother and me? Worst case scenario, he fires me, or takes away my salary. Would I dislike you for such petty matters?""Just remember what we said today; our bond won't change because of my brother." Esther was not worried about the scenario Abigail proposed; what she feared was Abigail learning the truth about Xander and deciding to divorce him, eventually hating her as well for being a part of the deception.When someone repeatedly emphasizes something, it shows insecurity. Abigail did not want to pry into Esther's fears but she could not let the girl continue to dwell on her worries. "Essy, are you scared of your brother, or are you scared of being confined?" Esther froze for a moment, then shook her head vigorously. Abigail asked while looking into Esther's eyes and caught a flicker of panic that passed through them. Esther's r

Abigail would have liked to sneak away as well, but Xander did not give her a chance."Remember when Jane humiliated you last time? Don't you want to exact some revenge?" Xander asked.Abigail did, of course, but despite the gap between Jane and Xander, they were still mother and son, bound by blood. She, Abigail, was the outsider here. Unless she was a fool, she would not admit to her boss that she harbored thoughts of revenge against his mother.Silence."You're not saying anything?" Xander prodded."What do you want me to say?" Abigail replied.Xander looked at her reddened nose. "Does it still hurt?"Abigail, taken aback by the sudden question, quickly shook her head. "No, it doesn't hurt anymore.""If you truly don't want to be in the same space as Jane, you can leave after she apologizes," Xander added.Abigail did not believe that Jane, with her superior airs, would ever lower herself to apologize to a mere assistant. She did not want to put Xander in a tough spot. "Mr.
