Chapter 215 How Many More Explanations Necessary
Abigail spent several days in the hospital, keeping Analise company. Her grandmother had already regained consciousness, but since the day Sean had discussed the divorce with Abigail, he had not revisited Analise. Abigail had started to wonder if Sean’s absence was intentional, perhaps as a way to prolong the matter.
Lying in bed, Analise weakly suggested. “Call Sean and ask when he’s coming over.”
While peeling a banana for her grandmother, Abigail replied, “Sure, I’ll call him once you finish. this banana.”
Analise looked affectionately at Abigail. “Will you resent me for pushing you to get a divorce?”
You might find it amusing, Grandma, but I had suggested getting a divorce many times before this,” Abigail replied with a bitter smile.
“Why would I laugh at you… Was it because you learned about his infidelity when you mentioned wanting to work and have your income?” Analise asked while eating the banana.
“I don’t know how to explain it,” Abigail answered, avoiding eye contact. “You should ask him yourself.”
Analise sighed. “With his grandma being the way she is… you’ll only suffer if you stay married to him. I know you’ve always loved him, but love cannot be enough to live on…”
“I know, Grandma. I understand now,” Abigail replied softly. She deeply regretted marrying Sean simply because she liked him. The man had shattered all her hopes for a blissful marriage.
“At the time, I didn’t want you to marry him… How can we match up to a family like his?” Analise murmured.
“I was wrong, Grandma,” Abigail choked. Her feelings for him nearly led to Analise’s death. If Abigail hadn’t insisted on marrying Sean, Analise wouldn’t have ended up in the hospital and forced to undergo a craniotomy. Her elderly grandmother had to suffer because of her.
“I never blamed you for your decision. I just hope to see you happy,” Analise said, her eyes red..
After Analise finished her banana and closed her eyes for a nap, Abigail called Sean. She had to ring him several times before he finally picked up his phone.
“Grandma wants to talk to you. When are you coming over?” she asked him, striving to keep her voice steady.
However, he didn’t respond right away.
She heard his faint breathing sounds, so she didn’t rush him.
Moments later, he said quietly, “I’ll come over tonight.”
“Okay.” After ending the call, Abigail took a deep breath.
Her feelings for Sean ended up hurting her and her grandmother, leaving him dissatisfied. It was time for her to wake up from her dream.
