Abigail’s Second Life

Sean's injuries nearly cost him his life.

Since he couldn't find the attackers to seek revenge, he decided to find the person responsible instead.

"Sean..."

"I know what you're going to say. If | back down in fear after getting injured once, | wouldn't be Sean anymore,

would 1?" Sean rarely disagreed with Abigail on this matter.

It wasn't that he didn't want to follow Abigail's advice, but it was simply impossible.

Based on the information he had gathered, if there was a connection to Vincent's team, it would be difficult for

him to extricate himself.

The police department claimed that they had been investigating for a long twithout finding anything useful.

It seemed that the mastermind had intricate connections.

Abigail looked at him. After a while, she finally asked, "What will you do if something happens to you again?"

"The first twas unavoidable," Sean said, leaning in and looking into Abigail's eyes seriously. "There won't be

a second time, though. There won't be as many opportunities for regret. I'll make sure you and Luna are safe."

His words made Abigail's heart skip a beat.

Luna was already in a difficult situation, trapped and unable to escape.

"lI understand," she replied softly, avoiding Sean's gaze.

The two of them walked for a while before returning to the residence.

Abigail took another shower and sat by the windowsill, staring at the dark sky outside, constantly recalling

Sean's words.

Sean had never been afraid; it was always her...

Just as she was filled with confusion, her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was a call from Ronaldo, Abigail sensed that something was wrong. She got up and went into the

bathroom before answering the call.

"You and Sean need to cto Eastbay right away. Alice is not doing well." Ronaldo's voice was solemn and

grave.

"How did this happen all of a sudden? What about Larry?" Abigail hurriedly cout of the bathroom.

Ronaldo sniffed lightly. "Larry is fine... | took him to the hospital. You should cover first."

Abigail hung up the phone and turned to knock on Sean's door.

It took Sean a while to answer the door while wiping the water droplets off his hair. His robe was slightly open,

revealing his muscular chest.

Noticing that Abigail's expression seemed off, he immediately becserious. "What's wrong?"

"Alice is not doing well. Ronaldo wants us to go to Eastbay immediately." Abigail had a faint feeling that it might

be related to Larry.

Could it be that she was wrong and had diverted the mastermind's attention to Alice? S~earch the FindNgvel.net

"Change your clothes, grab your identification, and let's leave right away." Sean patted her shoulder.

Abigail and Sean left Capitalis and went straight to the hospital in Eastbay where Alice had been admitted.

Having spent so much twith Alice, Sean's face was pale, and there was a subtle hint of sadness in his eyes.

As soon as they arrived at the emergency room of the hospital, Sean grabbed Ronaldo's collar and asked, "What

happened to Alice?! When | left, | took her for a full-body checkup, and the doctor said she was perfectly healthy.

How could she end up in the emergency room so soon?"

Ronaldo dared not look at Abigail. He knew that she was feeling worse than anyone else right now. He turned to

Sean and said, "How would | know? | was just informed by someone from our village." His eyes were slightly red.

Sean loosened his grip on Ronaldo's collar and slowly sat down on the side.

Indeed, Abigail was in the worst mood possible. She was certain that Alice was in danger because of Larry.

The entire hallway felt heavy.

Abigail leaned against the wall, burdened with countless thoughts.

Meanwhile, Sean kept his head down, not saying a word.

Half an hour later, the emergency room doors swung open, and the chief doctor emerged. Ronaldo immediately

approached him.

The doctor glanced at Ronaldo and shook his head gently, his expression filled with helplessness. "Prepare

yourselves. She probably won't survive another two hours."

Abigail's face turned pale, and the tears she had been holding back burst forth like a floodgate had been opened.

Ronaldo nodded solemnly. "Thank you, doctor."

Sean stood up and intercepted the doctor before he could leave. "What happened to Alice? Why did she

suddenly becill?"

"People can fall ill unexpectedly as they age," the doctor replied, bypassing Sean and departing.

Sean didn't believe it for a moment. When he returned, Alice had passed all her tests without any issues. There

were no hidden illnesses, and her body was much healthier than the average woman her age due to her healthy

lifestyle.

Why would the hospital conceal the cause of Alice's condition?

Alice was wheeled out of the emergency room and regained consciousness in the ward.

Sean noticed that her lips were turning blue. Was it a sign of poisoning?

Abigail held Alice's hand, her tears continuing to flow. The guilt made her almost wish for a life in exchange for a

life.

"Alice..." Her voice trembled.

"Abigail, be good to Sean. I'm content... | truly am."

She had something else to say. Abigail understood Alice perfectly, but she didn't dare voice it aloud.

Alice had a smile on her face as she continued, "Those shelves of books, remember to go back and peruse

them... | recall how much you used to enjoy reading them."

Abigail vigorously nodded, unable to speak any further.

Ronaldo squatted beside them, wiping away the tears with his hands.
