Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Shall I Call the Police for You?

A rough hand covered in bulging veins lifted the iron stick high, aiming at the back of Abigail’s head with all his strength. One could imagine that, if it were to hit, it would either kill Abigail or at least paralyze her.

Looking at this, Ruby, lying on the ground, relaxed her startled face and shot a strange smile at Abigail.

Abigail frowned.

Thud!

A muffled thud was followed by pain.

The indescribable pain made Ruby, who was already nursing a fractured leg, burst into uncontrollable tears. Eyes wide with disbelief, she pointed at the gardener Johnson and shouted, “Dammit, Johnson, you idiot!”

Clang!

As Ruby cursed, the iron stick clanged to the ground again. Johnson stumbled forward in a panic, “Miss, Miss, are you okay?”

Abigail looked at the iron rod beside her, picked it up, and used it to support her body as she struggled to stand. The second Ruby started laughing, Abigail quickly ducked and dodged the blow from the gardener.

Unfortunately, Johnson’s overexertion caused him to miss Abigail and hit Ruby’s leg instead.

Ruby’s already injured left leg was wounded again – the pain was unimaginable.

While watching Ruby lose her temper due to the pain, Abigail kindly reminded her, “Aunt Rose, Ruby, did you do anything to make Uncle Harrison so cruel towards you? Shall I call the police for you?”

“How dare you!” cried Rose when she heard Abigail’s suggestion, immediately threatening her.

Ruby’s leg, which hadn’t fully healed, was struck hard by Johnson’s stick and the pain was excruciating. Angrily, she said, “Mom, what’s the point of keeping this bastard?”

Not only did he fail to get rid of Abigail, but he also hurt them.

“I’m sorry, Miss. I really didn’t mean it!” Johnson’s dark, thin face lost its previous malice as he guiltily explained, desperation filling his eyes.

“Leave! Finish her, and I’ll forgive you!” Ruby, sweating from the pain, was still bent on dealing with Abigail.

Abigail, however, looked at Ruby with an innocent expression, “Uncle Harrison wanted to hit me just now, but he ended up hitting you instead. I wonder who he will hit this time?”

Once she finished speaking, Abigail’s face was filled with anticipation and curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Johnson’s erect body stiffened, and he turned to look blankly at Ruby and Rose.

As Ruby and Rose lay on the ground in pain, Abigail’s words made their legs ache even more. Fear crept into their hearts. Recalling Abigail’s earlier statement that she had been resurrected, were the heavens siding with her? Otherwise, how could this be so strange!

Staring at Abigail’s innocent face, the mother-daughter duo felt a chill down their spines. Their legs hurt more than before, especially Ruby. Dressed in thin sleepwear with the doors wide open, the night wind blew through and made her shake uncontrollably.

Suddenly, Abigail asked with a confused expression, “Will a leg with a second fracture limp? Will the Piers marry a crippled bride?”

“I…Bitch, take me to the hospital now!” Ruby’s face turned pale when she heard this. Rose was also quite scared and ordered Johnson to take them to the hospital.

Half an hour later, the Green residence was finally quiet.

Abigail dragged her weary body up the stairs. Being a part of a family renowned for traditional Flowery medicine, she had learnt some martial arts skills to strengthen her body along with medical knowledge. Her grandfather had always recommended Tai Chi and Catch 88 Techniques. When Johnson threw the first blow, she had applied a clever force to dodge the fatal blow, skillfully directing it towards Rose.

She wondered, could Rose and her daughter keep quiet for a few days after taking those two blows?
