Chapter 929 Write Off
"No need for money, I'll give it all to you!" Dennis was starting to feel a bit uneasy.
"No, it's fine. Getting an island from you is already a big deal. Thanks, Dennis, for not killing me..." Abella replied.
"Abella..." Dennis was at a loss for words.
In the freezing weather, Louie was so scared he kept wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Ms. Medici, you misunderstood Mr. Medici. He's been investigating the hospital fire because some people were hiding the truth. Just when he found some clues, you went to save that kid in the cage. Actually, if you hadn't shown up, Mr. Medici had already ordered us to save the child. We were just waiting for the key person to appear, and then we would have saved the kid in the next second!"
"So, I messed up your plan?" Abella still looked intrigued.
Louie was so scared he almost stuttered, thinking, 'Oh my God, Ms. Medici is so terrifying.'
He looked at Dennis, hoping he would explain himself.
Dennis was so nervous he didn't know what to say. He scolded Louie, "What are you talking about? We clearly scared Abella. Besides, Abella was also investigating the hospital fire. She was secretly helping out without her family knowing. She's a hero in the family!"
After saying that, he looked at Abella nervously, coaxed, "It's all my fault. You have boxing gloves, right? I'll let you hit me as much as you want to vent your anger."
Abella couldn't help but laugh, pretending not to speak.
If Abella was willing to hit him, that would be fine. But he was afraid of her being like this. What should he do? He really wanted to transfer fifty million dollars to Blake and have Blake teach him how to appease Abella online.
"I wasn't there to investigate the hospital fire," Abella gave him an out.
Dennis quickly asked, "Then what were you doing there?"
Netherhaven was such a chaotic place. What could Abella be doing there?
"I was there to get some herbs and happened to see you with a..."
Dennis immediately interrupted, "Abella, let me explain. It's not what you think!"
Louie couldn't bear to watch or listen anymore. Dennis's image was too terrible. Even God couldn't save him now!
"Dennis, your private life is none of my business," Abella said coldly.
"No, that woman was trying to drug me. She's an assassin, trying to kill me..."
"That exciting?"
Dennis was very puzzled by her words, realizing Abella was really different from others.
"Ms. Medici, Mr. Medici has many people trying to harm him outside. His behavior might seem a bit annoying, but it's his way of protecting himself!"
Dennis thought, 'What? Who are you calling annoying? Don't think I won't hit you just because Abella is here!'
Louie racked his brain to help Dennis salvage his image. "Ms. Medici, you don't know. When Mr. Medici heard you were kidnapped, he pulled out his IV and rushed to the abandoned building. There, the other side tricked Mr. Medici into thinking you were dead. You didn't see his heartbroken and angry expression. I was moved to tears. He really cares about you!"
"Shut up." Dennis felt disgusted hearing this, worrying Abella would feel nauseous too.
Abella didn't expect Maria's people to lie to Dennis about her being dead. At this moment, she looked at Dennis and found him a bit flustered, completely different from before.
"Alright," Abella said with a light smile, "Let's put the past behind us."
Dennis and Louie exchanged glances, both extremely excited, looking like they wanted to jump up and celebrate.
Abella forgave him? Abella wasn't holding a grudge? He once again thought Abella was wonderful!
"You two, wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Louie, you too!" Kimberly called out.
"Let's go, time to eat." Dennis followed Abella, overjoyed.
Louie also breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face.
At the dining table, everyone sat together. Dennis served Abella a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her. At the same time, Abella placed the food the servant brought in front of Dennis.
This simple gesture moved Dennis again.
"Thank you, Abella."
"Alright, everyone, let's start eating. Dennis and Louie have been out in the cold for so long. Eat something to warm up. Abella, you eat more too!" Beckett said with a smile.
"Shall we have a toast? It's been a while since Mom and Dad came over for dinner. It's such a rare occasion." Kimberly raised her wine glass.
Many people immediately raised their glasses in agreement.
Dennis picked up an empty glass, poured some lemon water, and handed it to Abella, taking away the wine in front of her. "Kids shouldn't drink."
Everyone clinked glasses. After the glasses were empty, David picked up some food and placed it in Abella's plate.
Dennis had just given Abella a piece of chicken when he saw everyone else also giving her food. He was a step too late. Abella's plate was already piled high like a small mountain. His chicken wouldn't fit, and if he put it there, it would roll off.
Louie noticed how much Abella was pampered at home. Just from this small act of serving food, it was clear everyone treated her like a princess.
"Is this for me?" Abella took the spoon and served herself.
Dennis happily placed the chicken on Abella's spoon. "It's for you. What else do you want? I'll get it for you."
"No, I already have too much. Dennis, you should eat while it's hot." Abella said, then turned to Louie, "You eat more too."
"Thank you, Ms. Medici. I won't hold back then." Louie didn't expect to be invited to the table. After running around with Dennis, he was really hungry.
Just as Dennis took a bite, Kimberly teased, "How does the food taste, which was served by Abbott, Anika, Cordelia, and Magnolia?"
Dennis was stunned.
Louie froze mid-bite, his mouth full, eyes wide.
Besides holding the Medical Authority title, Abbott, Abella had so many identities.
This was incredible.
He now felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Did he still deserve to sit here and eat? Could he still go to the corner to eat?
Dennis looked at Abella in disbelief. Everyone was laughing.
"See what happens when you don't come home? Abella is so outstanding, are you scared?"
"Let me tell you, Abella's identity is not just this. You'll find out more later."
"Don't tell him yet. Let him guess slowly."
"Exactly."
