Chapter 425 No More Courtesy
Abigail did not respond to Sean, but he was not disheartened by his failed attempt to show his goodwill. After all, he had plenty of time.
He stayed with her for a while until Cameron barged in in such haste that Abigail could not ignore his presence.
“What’s the rush?” Sean looked up from his laptop screen at Cameron.
Cameron gave him a meaningful look, indicating that they should talk outside. Sean glanced at Abigail and then got up. Though she was a bit curious, in the end, she did not ask anything. Instead, she continued to lower her gaze and work on her design drawing.
After the two men arrived outside the ward, Sean asked with a frown, “What is it?”
“Old Mrs. Graham sneaked in on an early flight this morning. She was picked up by Kelly and hasn’t left the Pearson Residence since, Cameron whispered.
Immediately, anger flared up on Sean’s face. “What’s Xavien doing? Why did you wait until now to tell me such an important matter?!” He snapped and walked away without looking back.
Cameron stood in place for a moment, hesitated, and then went to inform Abigail in her ward. “Ms. Quinn, Mr. Graham has some last-minute matters to attend to. He’s left his laptop here, and he’ll come to pick it up later. I’ll inform the nurses to look after you.” He stood by the door, smiling.
“No need to bother the nurses, she replied politely. I’m working on a design drawing, and it’s inconvenient with the nurses around.”
“Oh, okay, alright!” he said and promptly closed the door before catching up with Sean.
Abigail gazed at the closed door for a while before turning her attention back to her work.
Just as Sean and Cameron left the hospital and drove away, Kelly and Lina stepped out of an inconspicuous car. “See, I didn’t lie. He’s been with Abigail here in Capitalis all along.” Kelly told Lina as they got out of the car.
Lina closed the car door, her expression stern, restraining her anger. “Let’s go find her.
“You go; I can’t show my face. Otherwise, Abigail will say I instigated this. I’ll wait here for you,” Kelly spoke softly to her. “You must talk to her nicely. Otherwise, Sean will be angry with you again.”
To that, Lina gave a noncommittal hum.

In the meantime, Abigail was deeply engrossed in her drawing. When the door to her ward was pushed open, she did not pay any attention, assuming it was a nurse coming to change her IV. It was not until the person who entered approached her and forcefully snatched the tablet from her hand that she realized the situation.
