Meanwhile, Genevieve was embarrassed, as she didn't expect Abigail to reprimand her even thoughshe was only trying to help.

"Dr. Kain, I was just trying to help you."

"Help me? Are you even capable of doing so? Can you guarantee that this operation will be asuccess?"

Although Abigail wasn't an aggressive person in nature, Genevieve had really crossed her lines.

Immediately, Genevieve argued with teary eyes, "But no one can guarantee that every operation canbe a success."

"I can!" Abigail's reply proved her capability.

Upon hearing that, Genevieve gritted her teeth. Although she had a dark look on her face, she couldn'targue with Abigail, as Abigail was renowned for her surgery skills.

"Besides, didn't Dr. Palmer teach you that you shouldn't interfere in another doctor's operation withoutany permission from the operating doctor when you're in someone else's hospital? Didn't he teach youthat some doctors are particular with cleanliness, and you can't wear another doctor's surgical gownwithout their permission? If not, Amy, you should send surveillance footage of what happened to Dr.Palmer and let him know not to send any students like this to my place! I don't welcome just everyone,"Abigail reprimanded before leaving the operation theater.

When she almost reached the exit, she instructed again, "Get her to remove my surgical gown anddispose of it. I want a new set of surgical gowns. Also, change every surgical equipment that she had

ever touched."

Sighing, Amy had no choice but to comply with Abigail's requests.

Since she had been working for Abigail for a long time, she knew Abigail's personality well, butGenevieve might not be able to handle someone like Abigail well. Abigail couldn't be blamed becauseGenevieve shouldn't have been so self-assertive.

Staring at Genevieve's teary eyes and her face that had contorted due to anger, Amy had no choice butto usher her out. "Please remove the surgical gown, Dr. Leynthall."

This was Genevieve's first time getting reprimanded harshly.

Although she knew that her surgical skills weren't the best, no one had dared to cross her, and all ofthem spoiled her due to her family background as well as her close relationship with Greg and Cody.Thus, she couldn't accept it when Abigail, a woman who was around her age, reprimanded her withsuch disgust, and Amy asking her to remove the surgical gown right then was like a slap to her face. Atthis moment, Genevieve really wanted to dig a hole and hide in it forever.

"Y-You guys are horrible!"

She removed the surgical gown in anger before turning around and running.

Nevertheless, Abigail couldn't be bothered by the fact that Genevieve was humiliated, as all she knewwas how furious she was.

When Ethan noticed that Abigail still had no intention of carrying out the surgery when she left theoperation theater, his face darkened tremendously as Genevieve leaving in anger had already madehim furious.

"Abigail Kain, why are you acting so arrogant in front of me when you're nothing but a small fry? I'mwarning you. You better perform the operation for Zoe, or—"

However, before Ethan could finish what he wanted to say, Abigail took the surgical gloves next to herand threw them right into Ethan's mouth

"Shut up!" she snapped and left, leaving Ethan to fume in anger.

"Stand right there!"

Although he had already thrown the gloves away, he could still taste the latex in his mouth.

What a b*tch!

This was Ethan's first time meeting such an arrogant woman.

"Stop her. I need to teach that woman a lesson today. Who gave her the audacity to be so arrogant?!"

"I did. What about it?" Greg's voice rang out right after Ethan voiced his displeasure.

Right at that moment, Abigail was taken aback before she turned around in disbelief and saw Gregwalking over in a white casual outfit, followed by Genevieve, who looked embarrassed.

She quickly frowned.

Just then, Abigail couldn't understand why, but she felt somewhat annoyed when she saw howprotective Greg was over Genevieve.

Immediately, her gaze toward Genevieve became hostile.

"Why are you here?" Abigail asked rudely.

Although Greg thought Abigail was ignorant, he ignored her and turned toward Ethan.

"It's such a rare sight to see Young Master Ethan here. What's wrong? Who's in there? Let me go in totake a look!" he exclaimed before trying to enter the operation theater but was stopped by Ethan.

"Greg Buckley, what are you trying to do?"

"I'm not trying to do anything. However, Abigail is under my care. If you try to do anything to her, I don'tmind getting some benefits from whoever that's inside."

Even though Greg was smiling, it wasn't a genuine smile, and he had a cold demeanor along with ahint of murderous intent right then.

In that instance, Ethan frowned, and his arrogant stance from just now had completely disappeared.

While Abigail could tell that Ethan didn't back off willingly, she could see that he had finally calmeddown.

"Greg, don't you think that it's inappropriate to sabotage our brotherhood because of a woman?"

Ethan's tone had completely lowered. In fact, it even sounded like he was being respectful towardGreg.

Abigail was shocked.

He calls Greg by his name? Those two are actually friends? He really knows everyone, huh?

She harrumphed coldly. "Get out of my hospital if you two want to catch up, and remember to bring theperson in the operation theater out as well," Abigail said before she left.

Trying his best to contain his anger, Ethan questioned Greg, "Are you really not going to do anythingabout this, Greg? The person inside right now is Zoe."

Immediately, Greg narrowed his eyes.

How did Zoe end up there?

"Do according to Abigail's instruction and get all your men to leave. As for the operation, I can't giveyou a definite answer."

Then, he glanced at Genevieve and sighed. "Come along with me. I'll talk to Abigail, or it'll be hard foryou to explain yourself to Dr. Palmer."

"But she's so stern. How do you even know that woman? I mean, the way she behaves isn't evenfeminine at all," Genevieve pulled on Greg's sleeve before she asked in an angry tone.

"That's enough. Although she has a bad temper, she's a nice person. Come on."

Right when Abigail sat down, she saw Greg leading Genevieve into her office.

"Get out!"

As she was in a bad mood, it was an understatement that she didn't want to greet them at all.

Since Greg and Ethan were friends, it made Abigail feel even more appalled.

"Why are you always like this to everyone? Greg only came here for you. It's fine that you refuse toacknowledge his good intentions, but you don't have to kick him out. Do you really think that you're thatgreat just because you're the best surgeon in the world?"

Just then, Genevieve got upset and criticized Abigail while Abigail frowned before giving Genevieve alook and turning toward Greg.

"What's all this?"

"She's…"

Suddenly, Greg didn't know how to introduce Genevieve.

In the past, he'd gladly let everyone know that Genevieve was his girlfriend, but he somehow couldn'tsay it when he met Abigail's angry gaze.

Yet, Genevieve, who was oblivious to the situation, was already upset after getting criticized by Abigail.Now that Greg was here, she would definitely take this opportunity to get back at Abigail, regardless ofwhat was going to happen after she returned.

Immediately, Genevieve raised her chin and declared arrogantly, "I'm his girlfriend! What about it?"

Upon hearing that, Abigail was stunned for a moment. While she had always heard that Greg had agirlfriend, she didn't expect to run into her today.

Besides, it was obvious that she disliked Genevieve. Regardless of Genevieve's status as Greg'sgirlfriend, Abigail still disliked her.

"Oh? Did you bring your girlfriend over to confront me? What is this? Mr. Buckley, how would you likeme to apologize to your girlfriend?"

Although Abigail wasn't speaking in a patronizing manner any longer, there was a sneer on her face.

When Greg ran into Genevieve at the entrance of the hospital and saw her sobbing, he softened upand asked her if she was alright and who made her cry.

However, he was placed in a tough spot after hearing Genevieve's exaggerated story of how Abigailbullied her.

Genevieve was his girlfriend, and Abigail was the mother to his child, and truthfully, he didn't want tocross any of them at all. However, Genevieve had told him while she was crying that she wouldn't beable to explain herself to Dr. Palmer if she couldn't complete her scholarly paper.

Greg knew that Jake Palmer was a famous and influential figure in the country, so he braced himself toask for mercy from Abigail, but he didn't expect her to treat him like this.

Although Abigail didn't shout or say anything harsh, he could still see the sarcasm and disdain in hereyes.

No one else understood Genevieve better than Greg did. If it was anyone else, he would have forcedthem to help Genevieve out with her scholarly paper by all means, but he just couldn't do so when hewas facing Abigail. In fact, he'd even feel that it was terrible for him to stand up for Genevieve in front ofAbigail.

At this moment, Greg pulled Genevieve to his back before he whispered, "I just came to check on yourinjuries since you ran back without even informing me. Your injuries aren't even healed yet."

Initially, Genevieve thought that Greg would stand up for her, for he would always be relentless until theother party apologized to her every time she was bullied in the past and thought that he would do thesame today. However, she was baffled when Greg started talking about something else.

"Greg, what are you doing? I'm the one who was wronged. Besides, why are you asking her about herinjuries? Have you gone insane?"

"Get out!" There was a deep frown on Greg's face as he snapped before he pushed Genevieve away.

In that instance, Genevieve was pissed off.

"Why should I get out? I'm your girlfriend. How could you ask me to leave after I got bullied? Greg, areyou for real?!"

"I said get out!"

Suddenly, Greg raised his voice, and his furious expression scared Genevieve.

Greg had never treated her this way ever since she was a child.

Immediately, a disappointed look appeared on her face.

"Greg, it's over between us! Don't even come looking for me anymore!"

Then, she turned around and ran out. Initially, she thought that Greg would run after her, as that washow it always was in the past. However, it wasn't going to happen this time.
