Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Abigail took out a pen from her bag gently, lost in thought as she held it.

Her assistant had to call her a couple of times to snap her out of it when they arrived at their destination.

Jackie rushed out of the recording studio, opening the door himself and greeting Abigail with a bright smile. “This

reality show has high ratings. It’s the perfect opportunity for your comeback! Let’s seize it, darling. Go to makeup

and look at the script. We’ll follow the director’s instructions, okay?

“I’ve talked to the team, asking them not to edit the scenes as they please.”

Abigail regained her resting bitch face and tossed her sunglasses, which conveniently landed in her assistant’s

hand.

“Let’s go, darling!” Jackie was willing to go along with whatever Abigail wanted. “Don’t worry. I’ve spoken to them. If

they do anything wrong, we can sue them! But there’s something…”

“What?”

“Can you smile, darling?” He gestured a smile with both hands, exaggerating it. “Despite being known as an

intimidating beauty, it would be nice to give your fans something positive sometimes. Your popularity would grow

even more!”

“Really?” Abigail scoffed. “Smiling is scary. How is that a good thing?”

“Umm…”

“Who told you that Ms. Abigail doesn’t smile?” the assistant interjected. “I saw her smiling the entire afternoon!”

Jackie was perceptive and instantly guessed that Abigail must have met someone extraordinary. “Who was it?”

Abigail glanced lazily at him. “None of your business!”

“You…”

Jackie couldn’t do anything to her.

Seeing the actress stride toward the recording studio, he could only follow behind and continue nagging.

“You need to work harder to become the film studio’s ambassador! I’ve contacted people from the Thompson

Group. We must win this battle! If you can’t do it, we’ll go to Ms. Cordelia. She’s close to the Thompsons. We can

ask her for help!

“Focus on your career, darling! Men and romance are fleeting, you understand?”

Abigail paid no attention to his words. Her focus was on her phone.

She was looking at Lina’s social media updates.

Lina kept her posts clean, mainly showcasing her design work with occasional construction knowledge.

Abigail’s eyes lit up. Lina was incredibly talented! Despite her petite and pretty appearance, her style was

unconventional and admirable.

Unconsciously, Abigail smiled. A talented girl with the equally talented Jacob—the perfect match.

“Darling, did you hear what I said about being the ambassador?”

“Mm-hmm.” She mumbled, “As long as you’re happy.”

Jackie was confused. “So, you’re agreeing to it?”

“Yes, she’s worth it.”

“Darling? Your Highness?”

Abigail put away her phone, displaying a relaxed smile. Her steps were lighter as she entered the recording studio.

Jackie grabbed the assistant, looking blank. “Is there something wrong with her?”

The assistant scratched her head, thinking that something must be wrong with Abigail since she had saved her love

rival’s contact as a priority.

“I suppose…” She pouted and quickly followed Abigail.

Just as Jackie was at a loss, his phone rang suddenly.

A manager from the Thompson Group was calling.

“Are you kidding me, Jackie? It’s a piece of cake for Abigail to become the ambassador. Why did you come to me?”

“What do you mean? Who else would I turn to?”

“Ha! She has become best friends with the Thomsons’ daughter. Didn’t you know?”

Linda waited outside the ward when she heard the doctor say, “She has breast cancer, and the cancer cells have

spread. If only she had treated it earlier, it wouldn’t have been this severe.”

Stunned, Linda blurted out, “Is it too late to treat it now?”

The doctor frowned, looking serious. “It’s a bit too late now.”

“What…”

“Cancer cells spread rapidly. She missed the best treatment window. Even if she starts treatment now, it can only

delay her death.”

Linda’s heart skipped a beat.

Everything was so dramatic she couldn’t accept it.

Melissa had fainted while they were having coffee. They had been reminiscing about Lina’s childhood before she

collapsed.

She had heard what the doctor said after rushing her to the hospital in a panic.

After calming down a bit, Linda walked slowly into the ward. Melissa looked pale, having just received half a bottle of

IV drip. She lay in bed, looking sickly.

Linda was unsure about her feelings. She approached and sat next to her, gently holding her hand before letting

go. She suddenly realized how fleeting life could be.

Melissa forcefully opened her eyes, and her lips moved.

“I’ll ask Pammy to come.” Linda’s voice was firm. “You’re sick, and she won’t let you be!”

“No—”

Melissa immediately stopped her. However, she started coughing intensely, sweating from the effort.

Linda fetched a glass of water for her.

Just as she brought the water, Melissa grabbed her hand as if clinging to her last hope.

“Don’t tell her…

“Don’t tell Lina!”

Linda felt a pang in her heart. “Why not? S-She’s your daughter too.”

“I don’t want her to worry.” Melissa smiled. “She’s my daughter, and I only want the best for her. I don’t want her to

see the bad stuff.

“Lina is a loyal child. If she finds out I’m sick, she will drop everything to take care of me.

“But I don’t want that! She has just reunited with your family. She should stay by her biological parents’ side. No

matter how useless I am, the least I can do is not drag her down!”

Melissa coughed a few times, clutching her painful chest.

“The day I leave this world, I want her to remember me when I was healthy… I don’t want her to see me

undergoing chemotherapy, losing my hair, going through surgeries, and becoming terribly thin… I don’t want that!”

Tears welled up as she held Linda’s hand tightly.

“Mrs. Thompson, please keep this a secret for me… It’s my only request. Please, say yes!”
