"It's better if he doesn't know about it," Abigail said. "He was severely injured before because of this matter. It took him two years to recover. I don't want him to be in danger because of me again."
Josh wholeheartedly agreed with Abigail's words. He nodded and said, "You're right. Sean has already done enough for us."
"Do you... Do you want to see Luna?" Abigail asked hesitatingly, unsure if Luna would refuse to see him.
"No. You've been keeping her hidden from all of us. Isn't that what she wants?" Josh understood Luna well. She used to be persistent, but now that she has fallen ill, she must be afraid of seeing people.
Hearing his words, Abigail felt relieved. Then, she immediately started to comfort Josh. "She's just feeling under the weather now, so she doesn't want to see anyone. Once she's better, you can see her." As for whether they could get back together, Abigail felt uncertain. After all, how could Josh accept Luna if she suddenly had a child?
"From now on, you're with us. Even if you want to leave, you must listen to us." Simond sat on the couch and looked at him coldly.
"Why should I listen to you?" Josh's eyes were full of disdain as he looked at Simond. "If I'm not with Abigail, should I be with you?"
Simond remained silent as his gaze fixated on Abigail.
"Josh... Just listen to him," Abigail whispered. After all, she now mostly followed Simond's decisions.
Simond smiled and said, "Your sister sometimes has to listen to me too."
"I have to go back now. If I stay out too long, I'll get caught," said Abigail as she prepared to leave.
Josh escorted her to the door. Still, he couldn't help but remind her, "At least try to find a balance between you and Sean. You guys have come this far. Cherish it."
"I know." Abigail hadn't really thought about how to find a balance yet. Plus, none of them knew about Larry's existence.
After leaving the hotel, Abigail waited for a car by the roadside. She wasn't in a hurry and tried to send a message to Sean.
'Are you asleep?'
It was almost 1 a.m., so Abigail was just trying her luck.
Soon, Sean called. Abigail answered the call while canceling the car she had booked. She decided to walk back.
"I thought you were asleep," Abigail asked with a smile.
Sean had called her earlier, but they had almost run out of things to say. As a result, he hadn't been able to sleep until now.
"Abigail, I can't sleep," Sean said sincerely. "After the call, I've been thinking about it. What exactly went wrong between us?"
Hearing his words, Abigail stopped in front of a shopping mall.
