My Billionaire Husband

Brian smiled at her. "Diana, you do care for me."

"Nonsense. I just wanted to thank you for everything you did for Abby, with the blood donation and looking after her. Consider this your reward."

Brian smirked a little at Diana's denial but didn't say anything.

When they got back to the ward, Diana saw some people standing outside Abby's room. As she got closer, she saw it was Kate and Sybil.

"Mother, Sybil, why are you here?" Brian looked at them confusedly. It was clear that he didn't know anything about their arrival.

"Diana, I heard you were hurt in the accident. Are you okay?" Sybil cried.

"I am fine, don't worry! But how did you know we were here?"

"Antonette told us," Sybil answered.

"Antonette? How could she know?" Diana asked curiously.

"I don't know. She told us that you were taken to the hospital and asked me to check on you."

Hearing Antonette's name, Brian's face darkened. He pulled Sybil aside and said, "I need to speak with you for a minute."

Brian's tone was a little strange. Sybil followed him to see what was going on.

Thus Diana and Kate were left alone. They hadn't seen one another for two years. Diana felt so embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"Mrs. Grace…"

Kate was almost crying. "Diana, why did you leave without saying anything? I thought we had grown close…"

Diana felt even guiltier now. "I am so sorry."

"So tell me, where is my granddaughter?"

Diana was touched that Kate accepted Abby without hesitation.

"She is in the room," Diana said, her voice lowered.

Kate couldn't contain her excitement. "Can I meet her? Please."

They entered Abby's room together, just as she happened to be waking up. "Mummy!" she shouted happily.

Kate gazed at Abby's face. She was indeed the spitting image of Brian. She smiled and waved at Abby, "Hello, little girl."

Seeing the stranger, Abby was nervous.

But Diana gave her a reassuring pat on the back.

"Abby, this is your Grandma."

"Grandma?" Abby was confused. "Isn't Grandma in France?" She hid behind Diana, still unsure about the new person in front of her.

"It's okay. She is Dad Brian's Mum," Diana said gently.

"Dad Brian?" Hearing Brian's name, Abby peered out from behind Diana's back and gazed at Kate. After a while, she said, "But she doesn't look like Dad?"

Diana and Kate were amused by her honesty.

"Well, you don't look like me. You look like your Dad Brian."

Abby nodded in understanding. And slowly, she came out from behind Diana's back. "Grandma…"

"Good girl. Take this. It's a present." Kate took out a small red box and gave it to Abby.

"What is it?"

"Open it." Kate smiled kindly.

"A little pig!"

"Mrs. Grace, how do you know Abby likes pigs?" Diana asked.

"It's a secret," Kate replied with a wink.

"Thank you, Mrs. Grace." And then, Diana began to cry. She left two years ago because she couldn't take the fact that Brian had forgotten her. But she felt sorry for Kate. She should have told her about the baby.

Still, Kate was not annoyed whatsoever. She held Diana's hands and said, "You don't have to say thank you. If there is anyone who should say thank you, it is me. You have given us the best present in the world. Abby is a great girl."

"Mummy, is Dad Brian, my real Dad?"

Diana nodded her head. After what Brian had done the past few days, she was willing to give him a chance.

Abby was elated. She clapped and danced around, grinning from ear to ear.

Seeing Abby's reaction, Kate knew she had to stick up for her son.

"Diana, please think about moving back. Abby needs her father."

"But he still doesn't remember what happened before…"

Kate looked at her and smiled. "Diana, do you know that Brian broke up with Jessica soon after he woke up. He said Jessica wasn't the one he wanted."

Diana remained silent.

"Diana, come back to Brian. He has never forgotten you, not deep down. He never even came close to liking someone else in the last two years."

"I will think about it. I just need time," Diana said hesitantly.

Having said her piece, Kate stopped trying to persuade Diana and turned to play with Abby.

Abby felt that this lovely grandma was so nice. It was amazing to now have two grandmas!

Outside, Brian led Sybil to a corner by the window.

"Are you familiar with Antonette White?" Brian asked.

Sybil was confused. "Why do you ask me that?"

"Just answer the question."

"Well, I hated her before. But after having Aaron, I think I should be more tolerant. And she told me what happened to Diana. So, maybe I should thank her for this time," Sybil answered.

"What?" Brian stared at her.

Sybil was frightened by his reaction. She stumbled, "What's wrong? Shouldn't I thank her?"

"It is complicated. Just do what I tell you to do." After that, he began whispering something in Sybil's ear.

"Why?" she began.

"Why do you have so many questions? Just do what I tell you." Brian's patience was finished. He headed straight back to Abby's room without another word.

Seeing Brian, Kate smiled and whispered to Abby, "Abby, do you want to play with Grandma downstairs?"

Abby nodded immediately. She hadn't been out of the ward for days because Brian and Diana were so worried about her. She was eager to be outside.

Brian and Diana were now alone in the room. They hadn't had any time together like this for days since Abby's accident.

Diana felt embarrassed. "I think I'll go and look for Abby."

But Brian stopped her with a gentle hand on the shoulder.

"She is fine. My Mum is with her."

"But what if she can't take care of Abby alone? Abby is naughty." Diana wanted to find an excuse to leave.

"She will be your mother-in-law soon," Brian teased.
