Forced to Marry a Vegetative Man
chapter 4

Abigail spent a few days in such an abhorrent treatment. How not? After his meeting with Yudith with his relaxed attitude— fearlessly— made Abigail into the middle-aged woman's moons.

Several times Abigail received inappropriate treatment, such as eating in the kitchen and not being allowed to join Yudith and Laos. In fact, Abigail is often ordered to clean several areas of the house other than Raiden's room.

Abigail planned not to let it happen to her, however she was the legitimate wife of Raiden—grandson of Rafael. Abigail thinks that Yudith and Laos deliberately chose him to be someone who is easy to govern.

“They thought it would make me like a waiter here. Just watch them!” said Abigail who is now in the bathroom because she just fell in a puddle behind the house.

Yes, Abigail was just ordered to head to the warehouse and pick up some house necessities. Not only that, although Abigail refused, Yudith told her there was food for Raiden that she needed to take there, so the woman deliberately told Abigail. However, unfortunately the road to the warehouse in repair, the land is muddy because of the rain that hit last night. Misadventures did not get there, Abigail fell due to slippery and muddy roads.

“Argh! Shit!” umpat Abigail while rubbing her body because of the mud that is difficult to remove.

After spending almost thirty minutes, he finally went out of the bathroom and found Raize near Raiden's bed.

“Raize, what's up? I'm sorry, did I stay in the bathroom too long?” abigail asked worriedly.

“It looks like Mr Raiden needs something, it's just .. I don't know what it is?”

Abigail who was still drying her hair with a towel stopped and walked up to Raiden. She looked at her husband's face and saw the look in Raiden's eyes glancing at the nightstand beside the bed.

“Uhm, you want to drink?” abigail asked a little guess.

Raiden blinked twice and made Abigail smile. He grabbed a glass and asked Raize for help to change Raiden's position with a slight lift to his head.

“Thank you, Raize. I'll take over from here. Sorry to bother you,” said Abigail.

Raize nodded and returned to his position to stand guard at the door of the room.

“I'm sorry, it looks like I've been in there too long. It's all Aunt Yudith, she's such a bitch. Told me to go to the warehouse and pick up anything on purpose.” Abigail grumbled in front of her husband, as if Raiden would understand her circumstances.

At dinner time, Rafael was there and told Abigail to join. This time Yudith was ordinary with Abigail, not even a single sentence came out of her lips. Among them was another male figure, a man of the same age as Abigail's husband. Although several times he was seen there, but Abigail had not known him.

This time, the man introduced himself well in front of Abigail and her family. Evan, he was the son of Yudith and Laos. The twenty-eight-year-old man was seen staring at Abigail with a strange look.

After dinner, Rafael announces that he will be away for a few days due to business. Of course, it made Yudith smile in his heart, as well as someone new to Abigail.

Evan has a very bad nature, whatever Raiden has will be captured. This time, Evan was observing the figure of Abigail who was so brave when ordered by her mother. Yes, Evan secretly observed what Abigail would do if she had orders from Yudith.

Hearing Rafael's announcement, Abigail seemed to say to just come with the grandfather. Abigail felt tormented when Rafael was not home, even the house felt like a fairytale palace.

I almost had the same fate as Cinderella, only I had married the prince. Is this a collaboration between Cinderella and Bella? Inner Abigail.

After everyone had returned to their respective activities, Abigail was now sitting beside Raiden. He just finished helping Raiden eat. Now, Abigail wants to read a book next to her husband. Doctors recommend that there are more frequent interactions to spur healing.

Abigail recalled some of the information she got from the website. Reading a book and taking someone who is experiencing a vegetative state to talk, can help stimulate the performance of his brain.

“Raiden, I'll read a book for you. I got it from a bookcase in the corner of this room. You seem to like reading a lot. Ah, it seems that you have read this book, a book that tells the struggle for power by a prince and a concubine of the king. All right, I'll start, listen well. However, if you are sleepy, please sleep, I will stop reading it right then and there.”

After that, Abigail began reading almost half a book. Raiden fell asleep afterwards, but not with Abigail. From the door of the room, Judith called out to him and led Abigail to an old unused servant's room.

“Uhm, what will you command after this, Aunt Yudith?” abigail asked with a feeling of uneasiness.

“This room seems to fit you. I'm sure, Raiden also will not like if there is someone sleeping next to him and snoring loudly.”

Hearing Yudith's words offended Abigail. Abigail replied to Yudith very well and made the woman unflattered.

“Which I know, I am the wife of Raiden, not a servant who can be treated like this. For the past few days, Raiden had not lodged a protest while I slept beside him. I'd better ask Grandpa Rafael for this matter, do I really deserve to be treated like a servant? Although this marriage was on the basis of my parents' debts, but I should not have gotten this treatment from Aunt Yudith.”

“You! How dare you answer me.”

“Tante Yudith who always wanted to be called Madam, I suggest not to torture me too much in this house, even though I know my position is not important, but I know what is right and what is wrong. It's late, I'd better get some sleep. Good night.”

Abigail breezed away from Judith and returned to Raiden's room. As usual, he would grumble for a few seconds until he finally joined Raiden to fall asleep

Elsewhere, Rafael smiles at Abigail's behavior from CCTV. The old man observed every movement in his house from the hiddenly installed surveillance cameras without Yudith knowing. Rafael also likes the attitude of Abigail who is not easily oppressed and loving. Evidently from a camera that displays how the woman's attitude to Raiden over the past few days.

“My choice is not wrong.”
