Chapter 405: Chapter 405: If it doesn’t hurt, how will you learn?
Brandon Piers pinched Abigail Green’s cheek, gradually pulling her into his arms. Then he looked up at Jeffrey Foster, “Dr. Foster, if you need anything, come to me. My Abigail isn’t very clever.”
“How could that be? Miss Green is very smart, and as a friend of my junior sister, she is worthy of trust,” Jeffrey Foster said gently, glancing at Abigail’s back.
Brandon Piers looked down at Abigail’s slightly reddened cheek, “Oh, really?”
Abigail, “…”
The three of them stood in an awkward standoff. To outsiders, it looked like two men fighting over one woman. The onlookers, who had just praised Brandon Piers for his striking looks, now couldn’t believe how charmed they were by Jeffrey Foster’s gentleness. They looked at Abigail with mixed feelings—some were confused, others were envious and jealous. They finally sighed in unison: It’s not always good for a man to be overly attractive; it can cause blindness and even lead to a twisted mind.
For Abigail, half-held in Brandon Piers’ arms, it was pure torture.
She lightly patted Brandon Piers, “It hurts. Be gentle.”
Brandon Piers gave her a sideways glance, as if to say, “If it doesn’t hurt, how will you learn?”
Abigail felt a mix of emotions, suddenly feeling very melancholic. She wondered if marrying a man like this was good or bad.
Seeing Abigail’s distress, Jeffrey Foster commented, “Second Young Master and Miss Green have a great relationship, truly enviable. But I have work at the hospital. I won’t keep you two any longer. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.” Brandon Piers let go of Abigail’s face and held her hand, casually waving at Jeffrey Foster. He then looked down at Abigail’s slightly reddened cheek, “Do you admit your mistake?”
Abigail looked up at Brandon Piers’ handsome face, which one wouldn’t want to spoil, and suddenly stood on tiptoe to pinch his nose, “Admit my mistake? Never!”
She pinched his nose and then ran off.
Pullan watched the Young Madam’s back, then looked at the Second Young Master, who had a strange look on his face and slightly flushed cheeks, and cried out in his heart, “Oh, God, what bad luck did I have to witness this!”
But contrary to Pullan’s expectations, the Second Young Master didn’t get angry. Instead, he awkwardly followed Abigail, getting into their car.
Pullan, “…”
A man’s heart is hard to fathom.
The Second Young Master’s heart is as deep as the Pacific Ocean.
…
Five days wasn’t short, but due to Teddy’s presence, the security requirements were high.
So the entire house was bustling with activity early on.
Even Brandon Piers started leaving early and returning late. The others in the house were even busier, constantly on their feet. The Tai Chi group in the morning was temporarily disbanded.
Kelly’s family was to accompany them to Swallow City, so they had taken leave to settle at home and hadn’t been seen for three days.
Aunt Claudia was busy packing all sorts of things for Teddy, busy inside and out.
Abigail, on the other hand, became completely idle, spending her days either with Teddy or engaging in regular exercise.
If she had nothing to do, she would take Teddy for walks around the house. When the little guy took naps, she would rest her head and observe everything in the yard.
When she moved in, it was only April. Now, it was the end of August. From early spring to late summer, the flowers and plants in the yard had grown more lush, filling the yard with a rich floral fragrance. The koi in the pond were all becoming plump, and she couldn’t even find Little Red anymore.
Teddy had grown from a tiny newborn into a five-month-old little guy. His gums were turning white, and it seemed he would have a couple of teeth soon. He had become much more agile at turning over and had started learning to crawl. Managing him had become more challenging, though his dependency on her was no longer as strong as before.
Abigail’s feelings were quite mixed.
Life truly seemed different now.
Sometimes, she felt as if her current days were neither her own life nor Abigail Green’s life, even wondering who she really was at times.
She also wondered what had brought her to this life.
Just thinking about it felt both complex and absurd.
Only one thing was undeniable: she felt very relaxed.
And very happy.
It was a different kind of happiness compared to the exhilaration of saving lives during high-risk surgeries. This was a very ordinary, even mundane happiness.
She wasn’t a genius. She had no honors attached to her. She didn’t need to care about people’s expectations of her.
Now, she was just a plump, entirely ordinary woman. She could be unattractive, disheveled, even fail.
This was a life Abigail could never have imagined before.
In her past life, she bore the title of a genius doctor, always moving fast and never daring to fail.
She was afraid of failure.
Because failure would let down her grandfather’s expectations, her senior’s trust, and she would see the suffering of patients and the despair of their families.
Even though Abigail knew these moments were fleeting and such opportunities might be rare, she still felt lucky.
Everything she experienced in this rebirth felt smoothed out.
And only when one feels fortunate does one appreciate it.
Brandon Piers came over and saw Abigail resting her head, staring unblinkingly at the koi in the pond. Little Teddy lay beside her in his stroller, earnestly gnawing on a teething toy.
“You might scare Little Red like that.” Brandon Piers’ voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Abigail jolted awake and hurriedly checked on Teddy. Once she was sure the little guy was behaving, she glanced sideways at the man, “You can still recognize Little Red?”
“Of course I can.” After returning from Flora last time, he had been busy. With numerous matters finally settled today, he had some time to come and settle the score with someone.
Abigail glanced at the hundreds of koi in the pond. After more than four months of growth, they were all fatter than her. How could this man recognize one?
“See that one? It’s right there.” As Abigail was internally Tsukkomi-ing, Brandon Piers pointed out a plump, red koi to her.

“They all look the same to me. Don’t fool me.” Abigail didn’t believe him.
“Little Red is different from the other koi. The deep red on her body is very even, and the red extends longer than on other koi, fading only at the very end of the tail.” Brandon Piers explained with a straight face.
Abigail looked again and asked in confusion, “Really?”
“Dummy.” Brandon Piers unceremoniously flicked Abigail’s forehead.
Abigail, “…” Only a freak could find such subtle differences among a hundred fat fish, right?
Besides, her expertise lay not in recognizing fish but in surgery.
Thinking of this, Abigail suddenly smiled, “I may not be able to tell them apart, but I’m great with a knife. If you want to eat fish, I can help you dissect it, guaranteeing thin and complete slices. How about that?”
Brandon Piers suddenly remembered Abigail’s profession; his mouth twitched as he thought that teaching such matters needed to be done on the spot to be effective. It had already been three days, so he let it go.
“How about it?” Abigail’s eyes sparkled at the mention of dissecting fish.
Brandon Piers couldn’t help but shiver, “No way. The wind’s picking up today. Push Teddy back early; we’ll leave tomorrow.”
Abigail, “…”
Weren’t they talking about fish?
Abigail felt a bit disappointed and shook her head, getting up to push Teddy back to the room.
Brandon Piers looked at her back, then at the koi in the pond, “I just saved your lives again. Be grateful.”
Abigail heard him and couldn’t help but smile. But thinking they would leave tomorrow, she couldn’t suppress a sense of loss.
What bothered her more was whether she could get the items her senior brought for her grandfather.
