When Abigail was feeling upset, Xavien's call came in. She made an effort to calm herself down before answering.
"Hello." Her voice was slightly hoarse.
"Abigail, I've located your position. If you want to continue with Mr. Graham, stay where you are and don't go with Simond. Simond might—"
Before he could finish his sentence, the call was interrupted due to a poor signal on Abigail's side.
She tried calling back, but her phone showed no service.
Furrowing her brow, she decided to stand up and search for a stronger signal. Right at that moment, a knock sounded at the door.
All three of them felt uneasy.
Martin glanced at Abigail, who had her lips pressed together while she stared at the door.
Just as the tension reached its peak, Simond's voice came from outside. "Abigail?"
Abigail let out a sigh of relief. She thought Xavien was going to say that something happened to Simond. Luckily, he was fine.
She walked over, moved the table aside, and then opened the door. "You finally came. If you didn't, we would have gotten infected wounds."
Simond nodded and walked in with his men. He looked at the disheveled Martin and Andrew and asked in a deep voice, "Is everyone okay?"
Martin nodded, and Andrew mumbled in agreement.
A collective sigh of relief filled the room.
Abigail's tense nerves eased as she flashed Simond a relieved smile. "Thank the heavens you're alright. I feared the worst."
"No matter what comes my way, I'll be fine," Simond reassured her gently. "Let's get moving."
She murmured in agreement.
Andrew was carried by a tall man Simond had brought.
As they drove off in the Land Rover, Abigail looked out at the receding scenery and gradually felt drowsy.
Both Martin and Andrew had already fallen asleep.
Simond drove along the winding road while occasionally stealing glances at Abigail beside him.
Abigail struggled to keep her eyes open, but she was just too tired. She cradled Larry in her arms and gradually drifted off to sleep.
…
Upon learning that Abigail had once again lost contact, Sean furrowed his brow. "Find a way to contact Simond!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Simond's phone rang.
