Luna closed her eyes.
"I'll make it for you again until you can eat it without feeling nauseous," Abigail said, fixing her hair. "Don't worry, I'm here to take care of you. I won't feel tired or bitter. As long as you can eat a little, I'll be happy."
Luna looked at the smile on Abigail's face, and her eyes welled up. "I'm sorry... I'm too weak."
"What nonsense are you talking about? No matter what, I won't give up on you." Abigail exhaled and gently pinched her face. "It's okay. Why don't you come to the kitchen with me and help me out?"
"Okay," Luna weakly replied.
Abigail tidied up the kitchen and took Luna out to buy ingredients.
During this time, Abigail secretly retrieved the recipe that Sean had written for her. She bought the necessary ingredients and then took Luna home.
…
Abigail stayed with Luna for three days, and Simond gave Abigail some sleeping pills.
That night, Luna drank the freshly squeezed juice that Abigail had made for her and soon fell asleep on the couch in the living room.
Simond came in from outside and brought Zack with him.
When she saw Zack, Abigail felt a bit awkward.
She didn't expect to need his help in the end.
Zack nodded at Abigail, then walked over to Luna. To be safe, he first checked Luna's eyes to ensure she was truly asleep. Then, he began to draw her blood.
Abigail was not very happy... Did Simond and Zack not believe that Luna was genuinely sick?
After they drew the blood, Abigail covered Luna with a blanket and then left the room with Simond and Zack.
"Don't you trust her?" Abigail questioned Simond.
Simond laughed cheekily. "Whether Luna has betrayed you is still uncertain. Yet, you tell her everything, including where Larry is. Aren't you afraid she'll inform the people behind her and eliminate everyone who's helping you?"
Abigail immediately retorted, "She won't!"
"How can you guarantee that?!" Simond's face became serious. "I understand that you're concerned about her, and I also know that you used to be friends who shared everything. She selflessly supported you during the three years you were married, even dating Josh to deal with Kelly, who bullied you. But that's all in the past!"
Abigail's hands clenched tightly at her sides. She tried to control her anger until her whole body stopped shaking.
