Not One, But Two!

Chapter 239

"Get away from here!"

With a fling of her arm, Abigail tossed Emma aside and shut the door. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Falling on her back, Emma was struck with pain and when she recalled her situation, she couldn't help but wail loudly.

"Abigail Kain, you're inhumane! Even you are mean to me! Are you even my sister?" Bawling and wailing, she cried her eyes out, and if she had always been faking her cries in the past for a purpose, then she was crying for real now.

Philip, whom Emma thought she could rely on, had been arrested and she had no idea where her mother was. Now, she even had a bad name because she was set up by Jonathan, and all her grievances came crashing down around her.

Seeing her in this state, Abigail couldn't help but sigh.

When Amy saw Abigail's attitude, she knew what her higher-up wanted to do, so she asked, "Dr. Kain, are you really going to care about her?"

"No matter what, she's from the Kain Family. Even if she did something wrong or needs to be punished, it should be done by the Kains, and not be insulted by the Frasers in this manner. In addition, I'm also thrown under the bus."

Then, Abigail turned to the headlines on the cell phone and the look in her eyes turned colder.

There was already a rift between her and Valerie because of the kids, and now with Emma's incident causing such a huge ruckus, given Valerie's foresight, she was probably starting to pressure Greg now.

Even though Abigail didn't mind what Greg would do, she said to Amy, "Find out what's happening and where the hell Sasha is. The Kains suddenly having debtors at their door is also a little weird. Although they haven't been doing well for the past few years, it's not easy for them to owe so many people money and have the debtors at their door all at once. Also, find out why Philip Kain was arrested."

"Okay." Amy nodded and hesitated before asking, "Are you planning to take care of this?"

Abigail nodded in response. "Yeah."

Seeing that Abigail had already made up her mind, Amy didn't comment anymore and hurriedly went to get things done.

Suddenly, the loud sound of the thunder echoed through the air, and Emma shuddered as she quickly scrambled to her feet. Trembling, she peered at the dark sky and the sight of her amused Abigail thoroughly.

Did this woman do something evil? she wondered. She's looking so afraid. Is she afraid that she'll be struck by lightning?

While Abigail had that thought in mind, Emma was so scared that she started slamming the door.

"Abigail Kain, let me in! Quick, it's about to rain! Allie? Allie, my dear sister!"

The way Emma was wailing her lungs out seemed as though Abigail had really done something to her.

Rubbing her ears, Abigail had to take her hat off to Emma's crying skills.

Without Sasha by her side, Abigail wondered if an idiot like her would really grow up to be an adult. All of a sudden, she was a little relieved.

If she hadn't been oppressed since young, she might have ended up in this dumb state too. As she didn't plan to leave Emma alone since the beginning and it was about to rain outside now, Abigail decided not to torture her anymore and opened the door immediately to let her in.

After Emma scrambled in, she quickly scurried to the middle of the living room and gawked at Abigail as she said warily and dominantly, "I'm warning you, you—"

"Are you really warning me? It looks like you don't need my help anymore, do you?"

The second Abigail finished speaking, Emma froze in stunned silence. Her current situation came to her mind and she unwittingly pouted her lips, having the urge to cry again.

"If you dare to cry again, I'll really wash my hands off everything and throw you out on the way. Then, you can live and die as you wish."

Instantly, Emma held back her tears, but her face flushed harder from holding it back. Until now, she had never been so humble in her life. At the same time, she also knew that besides Abigail, nobody would care about her and Philip's fate anymore.

Her mother who had always doted on her was nowhere to be found, so what could she do?

Seeing Emma's face, Abigail recalled the times when Emma was mean to her, and her heart still had some disgruntlement.

"Get me a glass of water," Abigail ordered nonchalantly.

Emma's eyes grew to the size of golf balls. "You want me to get you a glass of water? Abigail Kain, you —"

Immediately, Abigail's voice turned indifferent as she said, "What did you call me?

Emma shut her mouth and fear washed over her. This Abigail in front of me right now is so scary!

All of a sudden, she remembered that Abigail knew some fighting skills. The scalpel in her sister's hands could hurt people with such ease.

Unwittingly, Emma gulped and her eyes drifted to Abigail's cuff subconsciously.

As Abigail sincerely wanted to teach Emma a lesson, she didn't mind taking out the scalpel from her sleeve and playing with it. It scared Emma so much that her knees turned weak, and she almost fell. Sobbing, she said, "This is not my home. How would I know where the kitchen is?"

"Turn left and go straight. You'll see it if you have eyes."

Under the sunlight, the sharp scalpel reflected a ray of cold light, and Emma was so scared that she trembled while walking to the kitchen. Then, she heard Abigail saying nonchalantly, "If you add something in the water, you can forget about ever leaving this place."

Terrified, Emma tripped over her own feet and fell. Fortunately, the floor was carpeted and she didn't hurt herself, but she was still so scared that she burst into tears again. "Abigail Kain, you're bullying me by kicking me when I'm already down!"

"Exactly. You never let an opportunity go by without bullying me, and now that I have the chance, I won't be at ease if I don't get back at you. What about it? Are you reluctant? You can leave if you are unwilling to do this. I'm not the one keeping you here."

Her words showed no mercy at all, and Emma really wanted to turn around and leave. Up until this age, she had never suffered this kind of insult before. However, Abigail's voice suddenly echoed again.

"You better think it over carefully. Sasha isn't around now, Dad has been arrested and Jonathan actually set up such a trap for you to ruin your reputation. Without a doubt, he has other plans lined up

for you after this. You've dated him for five years, so you probably know a lot, don't you? Do you think he'll silence you?"

Abigail's question really scared Emma so much that blood drained from her face. "I-I don't think he would dare, right?"

"You can try him," Abigail answered with a nonchalant attitude.

Only then did it dawn on Emma that she had no other choice except to rely on Abigail. At that point, tears flowed down her face freely, but Abigail didn't say anything to her.

Truth was, Emma wasn't mean in nature, but she needed some setbacks and punishments. Now, Abigail didn't have that much resentment at her sister for snatching Jonathan five years ago.

For a man like Jonathan, it was a fortunate thing that Emma had snatched him from her. Furthermore, Abigail was of the opinion that anyone that could be stolen by someone else wasn't meant for her.

And so, the sisters both carried their own thoughts in their minds.

Emma cried for a long time until she finally realized something. Wiping away her tears, she went to the kitchen to get Abigail a glass of water.

As the water temperature was a little high, she was worried that Abigail would complain, and she planned to pass it to her sister when it had cooled down a little. On the other hand, Emma was worried that Abigail would rush her.

Suddenly, she remembered what Sasha used to do when she was a child and wanted to drink water instantly. I think Mom used to pour the water between two cups a couple of times to cool it quickly, Emma recalled.

With that thought in mind, she found another cup and wanted to do the same. However, Emma was spoiled by Sasha since she was a child, so how would she know to do something like this?

The hot water splashed on the back of her hand and she screamed from the scalding pain. The cups also dropped to the floor and shattered, and she started crying from the pain.

Why am I so unlucky? I want Mom! Emma thought as she cried aggrievedly.

The moment she screamed, Abigail rushed over and when she saw two broken glasses on the floor, she could kind of guess what had happened.

She can't even do something so simple? Abigail wondered. She's already in her twenties, but she doesn't even have the most basic skills to take care of herself. If the Kain Family is really ruined and Sasha isn't by her side, how is she going to live? Am I going to be the one to support her?

Abigail didn't think that she would do it, and neither did she have the time for it. In addition, placing Emma next to herself and Greg was disgusting to her.

"Are you done crying? If you're done, then quickly get me another glass of water," Abigail ordered coldly.

Lifting her head in shock, Emma stared at the other woman's stoic face and uttered in disbelief, "I'm already hurt and you're still asking me to get you water?"

"What else, then? You're already twenty-four years old this year, aren't you? If you can't even get a glass of water, then what else can you do? I'm not keeping useless people by my side, much more serving a pampered girl like you. Get lost if you can't do it. How does the life and death of the Kains have anything to do with me? Also, your reputation is unrelated to me. I assume you haven't forgotten how the Kains treated me since I was young, have you? And don't tell me we're sisters or whatsoever. Don't forget that you're the one who snatched Jonathan Fraser from me!"

Abigail's words were like knives to Emma, and even though they weren't very harsh, it was very insulting. Given Emma's temper in the past, she would definitely jump up and give Abigail two tight slaps.

However, when Emma thought of the Kain Family and her own situation now, she suddenly bit her lower lip and cried silently.

The way she looked now really made one feel sorry for her.

"Just look at yourself! You're so dumb!"

Putting aside the scalpel in her hand, Abigail then poured out a glass of hot water from the water dispenser and took another glass to demonstrate to Emma.

"I could already do something so simple at the age of five. Emma Kain, you're really an overgrown baby."

Her words hit Emma harder than a slap on the face, and her face blushed even brighter when she saw that Abigail reduced the water temperature so easily with just a few moves.

"Did you see it? This is the difference between us. At your age now, you don't even have the basic life skills which I had learned to do at five. So, in exactly which aspect do you think you're superior to me? Without a superior environment and Sasha who always gets things sorted out for you, what else do you have?" After saying that, Abigail got up and headed out, saying, "Continue to do this. If you can't learn this, I don't have the time to care about you and your family's mess."

From her words, Emma suddenly caught something. In other words, she's going to care about me and Dad, right? I just need to complete the tasks she gives me, no? she thought.

This was her only hope now, and she glanced at the blister on her hand from the scalding water. If her mother was still around, she would definitely be heartbroken, but Abigail didn't even take a look at her earlier and even said a bunch of sarcastic remarks to her. All this combined, Emma felt that her tears were going to start flowing again.

Mom, I really, really miss you!
