Luna nodded gently, allowing Abigail to guide her back to the bedside.
Abigail glanced at the bedsheet, relieved to find no signs of blood.
Luna had been experiencing frequent episodes of bleeding in the past few days, causing discomfort and heartache for Abigail with each occurrence.
"Do you want to take a walk?" Abigail asked.
Luna glanced at the window and shook her head gently. "I don't want to."
"Okay," Abigail didn't insist.
The ward fell silent. After a moment, Abigail spoke to Luna, "It's not suitable for Larry to stay here all the time. I want to find a place with better medical conditions. What do you think?"
Luna's gaze turned slightly blank as she looked at Abigail. "Do we really need to move?"
"It's not peaceful here, and I'm afraid something might happen to you and Larry. If we find a better place, I can also feel at ease," Abigail gently rubbed Luna's hand, speaking softly.
Luna frowned, seemingly having a hard time accepting the idea of relocating.
"Luna, I'll be by your side no matter what. I will protect you. Do you trust me?" Abigail looked into her eyes and asked softly.
Luna slowly withdrew her gaze. After a long silence, she whispered, "Have you chosen a place?"
"If you agree, we'll choose immediately. Wherever you want to go, we'll go. Is that okay?" Abigail's face lit up with a smile.
Upon seeing her smile, Luna's expression gradually relaxed. "Okay, let's consider it together."
Abigail helped her lean against the bed and took out her tablet, suggesting a few good places for Luna.
"Let's choose Saraville. The environment is good, and I've always wanted to visit," Luna said to Abigail.
Saraville had a pleasant environment and excellent medical facilities, making it a suitable place to live.
"Then let's go to Saraville. We'll stay here for another week and then head to Saraville," Abigail said, holding Luna's hand and speaking cheerfully.
Luna nodded. "Can we go directly to the psychiatric hospital there? I don't want to bother Dr. Mason."
"Don't worry. I'll arrange it when we get there," Abigail assured her. Given that Zack remained a member of Simond's organization, Abigail couldn't fully trust him, no matter how trustworthy he appeared.
"I'll live in Saraville alone; you can find a reliable person to take care of me. As for Larry... let him live in a different city," Luna said, her eyes turning red.
Abigail held her hand and remained silent for a long time.
"I really want to see him, but I'm also afraid to see him..." Luna closed her eyes.
Abigail whispered, "I'll send him to Eastbay and have Ronaldo watch over him. He won't say anything."
