Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 700

Silently, Sean stood there, not uttering a word.

Alice's gaze fell upon Sean's face. After a while, she weakly said, "Take good care of Abigail, alright?"

"I understand," Sean replied in a nasal tone.

He had expected Alice, who appeared to be in good health, to live to be a hundred years old. Unexpectedly, she was the first to pass away.

"It seems there is nothing more to say. You two can leave. I want to talk to Ronaldo," Alice said with a smile on her face. "I may not have any children, but I am satisfied to have you three here with me in the hospital as I near the end."

Sean left the ward with Abigail.

In the corridor outside the ward, Sean leaned against the wall while Abigail sat in a chair. Both remained silent.

After a long silence, Sean looked at Abigail and asked, "Did you visit her when you came to buy those Marimora pearls? How was she at that time?"

Abigail pursed her lips, her tearful eyes fixed on Sean. However, she did not answer.

At this moment, she could no longer hide the truth from him.

Sean sat down next to her and put his arm around her shoulder. "I know you are deeply upset about Alice's condition, but now that things have come to this point, we should start thinking about her funeral."

Abigail didn't expect Sean not to doubt her.

She looked at Sean as her guilt deepened. Eventually, she hugged him and cried loudly in his arms.

By dawn, Alice had peacefully passed away.

Abigail and Ronaldo went to Alice's house. Ronaldo, his eyes red from staying up all night, said tearfully, "When I first heard about Alice's condition, I hated you."

His words made Abigail instinctively stop and look at him.

"Perhaps Alice knew I would hate you, so she told me not to. She said it was her own choice to make that sacrifice for Larry. According to her, children are the future." After Ronaldo finished speaking, he pursed his lips. He wanted to cry, but he held back.

"I'm sorry." Abigail lowered her head, her voice filled with apology.

Ronaldo ignored Abigail and turned to leave.

Even though he was usually good-tempered, when it came to matters of life and death, he couldn't help but blame Abigail.

Abigail followed him into Alice's house.

When she saw everything in Alice's house, all those familiar things were now filled with sorrow, and Abigail's eyes welled up with tears.

Ronaldo brought out new clothes for Alice. When he saw Abigail standing in the backyard, lost in her memories of Alice, he didn't rush her but instead turned and went outside to wait for her.

As soon as he stepped outside, he ran into Sean, who had been waiting outside the village.
