The day quickly passed by for Hugo. He was now on his way to their house. It was already 6 in the evening.
"Are you sure about that?" Abigail's forehead creased when Hugo told her what he discovered in the hospital.
"Yeah," Hugo shrugged his shoulder. He looked at Abigail. "I'm more than sure." He uttered.
Abigail was startled by what she heard. If that was the truth, then that means they were involved in what happened when they were at the park.
"Then do they know that we were attacked by it? Based on what you were saying, Julius was fond of you." She curiously asked.
Hugo shook his head. "I don't think so. If he knew then he would probably contact me already to ask how I am." He answered.
Not telling Abigail that he killed a man on that scene so it would be impossible for Julius to know it beforehand unless that officer will speak about it.
However, he guessed that it would not be the case since Julius would just be furious learning that one of his men was killed.
"Did you talk to the police?" Hugo asked Abigail back. He remembered that she had said that they will come today, but so far, he hasn't even seen one of them.
"My mom already handled that." Abigail chuckled.
She grinned. Since her parents were very protective of her, talking about what happened made them instantly furious.
Their family, with its standing in the society, had a lot of connections from within. Abigail was really thankful about it since she could do what she liked or wished for as long as it was good.
"Oh," Hugo leaned as he glanced over at the side. He noticed that they were already near to their house.
After a few minutes, they finally arrived at their destination.
"Do you want to come inside to meet my family? I'm sure they would want to see you."
Hugo chuckled, recalling the messages that he received from his mother earlier, telling him that he should let Abigail stay in their house for a few hours so they could say their thank you.
"Oh, sure." Abigail's ears reddened.
It wasn't new to her to meet Hugo's family, however, it felt very different.
Hugo, who was watching Abigail thought, 'maybe I should tell my mother about it so they would stop nagging me about getting a girlfriend.'
That doesn't seem like a bad plan after all.
He should do that much, after all the things that Abigail did for him yesterday and today.
Fortunately, because he was wearing an oversized shirt, the bandage on his waist wasn't noticeable. He already drunk a painkiller earlier to relieve its pain. That would help him for a few hours, just enough before his mother noticed it.
The two of them left the car, leaving Rommel alone.
"You can tour around this area first." Abigail gave him some money. "You can buy what you want to while waiting for me." She smiled before turning her back, not even letting him answer.
She knew that Rommel would just decline her offer so she needed to walk away before he could even open his mouth.
Hugo, who saw how Abigail entered their house in a hurry, laughed. He looked at Rommel and smiled at him.
"You should spend that, Sir." He said.
Rommel looked hesitant as he glanced at the money in his hand. "This is too much."
Hugo patted his back. "You deserved that, Sir. You know her, she will be sad once she saw that you didn't even buy anything."
"I know, young man." Rommel laughed at what Hugo uttered.
"You should go enter now and follow Miss. I'll be back once she messaged me." He bid his goodbye to Hugo before entering the driver's seat once.
Hugo calmly entered their house. He couldn't believe that Abigail entered as if it was nothing to her.
'She must not be nervous to enter here.' The sides of his lips rose up. The idea that he was thinking of earlier, suddenly solidifies turning into a plan.
"Brother!" Hailey comes running towards Hugo.
Hugo smiled widely at his sister. "How are you?" he asked as he carried her. He didn't mind the wound on his wound.
"I'm hood, brother!" Hailey enthusiastically answered. She puffed her cheeks as her eyes looked at Hugo. "You left yesterday while I was sleeping!"
Hugo patted her head. "Don't complain now. I have something for you." He smiled, taking out something from his pocket.
"Hehe," Hailey giggled like a small child. She took out the big lollipop from Hugo's hands and ran towards their parent's room so she could eat it without getting scolded.
"It's already dinner time, you should have given that after it." Verda tilted her head to the side, scolding Hugo.
"Just let her, mother. It's not like she will be eating all of that." Hugo went towards to his mother, kissing the side of her cheeks.
"Should we sit first, mother?" Hugo seriously uttered that made the atmosphere awkward.
"O-okay?" Verda do not know what to answer when she saw the seriousness in her son's eyes. She glanced over at her husband, taking his hands.
The two of them proceeded first toward the living room.
Abigail's forehead creased as he stopped Hugo from walking. "Don't tell me…" her eyes widened, thinking of only one thing.
Hugo smiled at her. "Since you're here, then why not?" he answered her obvious question.
Abigail's heart started to beat faster. It was as if her feet got stuck on the floor and she does not want to leave anymore. It was the moment when she wished she had Hugo's power of teleportation.
She grabbed Hugo's hands tightly. She bit the sides of her cheeks.
"Don't be nervous," Hugo assured her.
Abigail slowly nodded her head.
She hasn't been this nervous in her entire life.
The two of them arrived in the living room minutes after. The atmosphere became quiet and nervous making Abigail more nervous than earlier.
It was as if she was on a trial ad the judge would already say whether she was guilty of something or not.
Hugo, who saw how nervous Abigail had become, held her hands tightly.
"Don't worry, I am here," he whispered right into her ears.
Abigail took a deep sigh.
'I can handle this thing. I have been unto worse.' She comforted herself. She closed her eyes, calming her heart down.
When Hugo saw that Abigail had already calmed down, he moved on to the main topic.
"Mother, Father, I am dating Abigail." He directly said without even stuttering.
A moment of silence surrounds all of them. Abigail was about to speak up when Verda's happy shout echoed on the whole place.
"I already knew that the two of you would be together!" she happily exclaimed, almost jumping out of her seat just so she could hug Abigail.
Abigail was flustered at the sudden hug that she didn't have the time to even react.
An awkward laugh escape from her mouth as she hugged Hugo's mother back. The loud beating of her heart vanished. It was replaced by a heartwarming feeling.
She was happy that she was being accepted by Hugo's whole family wholeheartedly.
It was as if all of her efforts these past few years has been paid off.
Hitano smiled at Hugo. He hugged his son and whispered proudly in his ears. "You have done a great job, Son."
Hugo smiled at his father as he looked at Abigail, who was obviously happy.
"You should come with us tomorrow, Abigail. We will be attending Sir Rome's burial." Verda mentioned.
"Oh, sure, Auntie." Abigail shyly answered.
"Go call your sister, Hugo. Let's have dinner together before Abigail leave." Verda happily said as she left them to go to the kitchen so she could set up the table.
The five of them ate happily together. Even Hailey was shocked when she learned about his brother and Abigail's reaction.
Abigail left Hugo's house after an hour since it was already late. Hugo had informed her before she left about the things that he planned to do tomorrow.
Hugo stayed up all night doing the things that he had planned to do. He was busy looking at the files that he had taken a pic before, writing all the things that he needed to remember.
He already had the USB file in his hands. He bought a new phone earlier.
He was restless the whole night.
When the clock strikes at 7 am, the alarm on his phone sounded. Hugo woke up from his 2 hours of sleep with a huge smile on his face.
He opened up his spare phone placing all the files that he will be needing towards it.
"I couldn't wait for later." His grin became wider.
The first downfall of Julius Achre will be seen by the whole world.
