ASSISTANT CULUN

Chapter 40. Feeling Challenged

Abigail lay her back to the guests and asked Micah to pull the curtain. Not long after that he fell asleep.

Seeing that the younger sister had fallen asleep, Micah immediately joined his guest and sat down on one of the couches.

Hhhhh….

Micah sighed before speaking. "I'm Abigail's brother, sorry if we never said it clearly." Micah said and then looked at Darren with guilt.

"I'm sorry that Abigail hurt you. He was injured in the head due to an attempted murder. And because of that injury, Abigail went back to having partial amnesia."

The shocked expression was clearly visible on the faces of Trias and Darren. Both of them could only be silent while looking down. Darren shook his head repeatedly then covered his face with both hands.

"returned? So this isn't the first time Abigail's had partial amnesia?" Trias stared at the gurney with a sad feeling, the young man seemed to not believe the events that Abigail had experienced at her young age.

Micah nodded weakly. "Yahhh, unfortunately so."

"So, she doesn't recognize me?" Darren sounded desperate and disappointed.

Micah shook his head softly hearing Darren's question. "He doesn't even remember how he got the injury to his head."

Seeing the sadness on Darren's face, Troy becomes pity and asks Micah for permission to speak. Through a nod, Micah agreed.

"The amnesia he experienced was temporary. One day Abigail will remember, but we never know when that could happen."

Hearing Troy's words, Darren quickly raised his head. He still feels he has hope.

"Is that true?" Darren asked with a face.

Troy nodded while displaying a smile. "Sure, but we can't force Abigail to remember it. Because it'll make him feel a tremendous pain in his head."

"At least I still have hope." Darren. Recalling something, he then looked at Micah while smiling awkwardly.

"Miss Micah, forgive my carelessness for falling in love with your sister." Darren's tone sounded doubtful and fearful. "I really like Abigail, I'm in love with her. And he's like this, because it's my fault too. So I beg you not to tell me to stay away from Abigail. I'll make amends…….."

"No need." Micah cut Darren's speech. "This is the risk of the plan we're working on."

Darren looked at Micah for a moment then breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would get a rejection from Abigail's family.

Feeling that there was nothing more to talk about, Trias and Darren immediately said goodbye to Micah and Troy. Before leaving the room, Darren turned his head for a moment and looked at the gurney where Abigail was lying. He took a deep breath and walked away with a heavy heart.

"Two more days came with the personal assistant contract that Abigail had signed before." Micah said as he escorted the two young men to the front door of the clinic.

For a moment, Trias was confused by Micah's words. But as soon as he saw the look on Darren's face, Trias understood. The young man nodded in understanding and thanked him.

"Abigail just recovered and you're gonna send him on a mission?" After the departure of Trias and Darren, Troy questions Micah's decision to ask Trias to come with a contract.

"Let's talk somewhere else." Micah replied as he stepped away towards the outer garden area of the clinic. And Troy had no choice but to follow where Micah went.

The two then sat on a park chair in a quiet area of visitors.

"I want Abigail's memory back, and I'm sure Darren can help her." Micah said after the two fell silent for a while. "And from the beginning I've been asking Venus to take over poor Draco's contract. It's not over, I've decided, we won't hide anymore."

Micah's words made Troy smack, he reflexively pulled the woman sitting by his side into a hug.

"I don't want to lose you, don't be rash."

Micah smiled faintly and rubbed Troy's back. "This is the right moment to seize the freedom of both of us Troy, please understand."

Troy did not reply, he just closed his eyes enjoying the scent of Micah's body in his arms. If he could he wanted to stop the time for a moment, for this moment to last a little longer.

☘️☘️☘️

Before the two young men came, Micah told Abigail about the mission. How he ended up in the clinic with a head injury.

"So I'm your assistant. That so?"

"Yes, right." Darren replied flatly. He tried hard to look calm in front of Abigail. Not as expressive as during their first visit.

"Based on the contract stated, my working period is not up to one month away. Can't you two just let it go?" Abigail's expression was funny. On one side he was heard pleading and on the other he was guarding his prestige.

Trias lowered his head for a moment holding back a laugh. "I'm sorry, I can't." The answer is after mastering yourself.

Abigail breathed again. He looked at Micah once more before finally speaking again.

"So, I'm gonna stay with you guys?" Abigail asked in a soft voice.

Deep down, he wanted to stop, but as soon as he heard the details of the mission and the assassination attempt he had experienced, Abigail's spirit of victory flared up again. He wants to defeat those who want his life.

"No, we've set up a special apartment not far from Darren's apartment."

Abigail nodded in understanding, she bit her lower lip. There was a nervous feeling hearing Darren's name called. The young man's gaze made his blood rustle.

Yesterday, in light of his first encounter with Darren, there was a sense of guilt that arose in Abigail's heart. He felt it was wrong to slam Darren like that. However it was his defense in shock to be suddenly hugged by a young man he did not know.

And Darren's very sad eyes when Abigail said she was unfamiliar, made her heart hurt as well. It makes Abigail wonder, what he had experienced while guarding Darren. Why does he feel like he has an emotional connection with Darren?

"Do you mind staying close to me?" Darren's question made Abigail blink.

"Ti.no. Not at all." Abigail could only stare at Micah with resignation. "Can I go there tomorrow?"

"Don't ask me." Micah answered while looking at Trias.

Inevitably, Abigail also stared at Trias.

"All right, tomorrow I'll pick you up here." Reply Trias with a smile.

"Yes!!! Thank you." Thank you." Abigail smiled broadly at Triassic's decision.

"Cihhh.Lately this time I saw a spoiled agent." Darren said cynically.

Abigail immediately threw a look of annoyance. "What do you mean? I just got sick." His words do not accept.

"Yes, but it shows how effective you are. Great agent but spoiled." Darren had no intention of easing the situation.

"What?! Pull back your words!!!" Abigail began to get emotional.

"No will! Moreover two days ago you can still help me." Darren insisted on beating the war drums.

"That's because you suddenly hugged me."

"That means your condition is prime is not. A great agent like you can definitely handle a little bit of pain. He said a great agent, but this is how it is."

"You.." Abigail stood up while pointing her finger at Darren's face. His face had turned red withstanding anger. "Well, I'll move in today too. In the afternoon Mikha will take me there. I'll prove, I'm not a spoiled agent."

Abigail felt challenged, she became hot-hearted as Darren lent herself a spoiled agent.

"All right then." Said Darren flatly. Without Abigail knowing, Darren was cheering happily in his heart.
