I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 Timely Rescue

Abigail didn’t accept the pears. Instead, she replied shyly, “I’m allergic to pears. I want to ask about someone. Do you know Kelly Hagl? She’s the adoptive daughter of one of the families in this village.”

The woman looked slightly puzzled after hearing her inquiry. Then, she nodded. “Yes, I do know her. She lives in the upper village. Do you see that mountain? Climb over it, and you’ll arrive at a new village. That’s where her house is.”

“Thank you,” Abigail said politely.

Then, she began to ponder as she looked at the mountain not far away.

Even though the mountain isn’t high, my safety will be at stake as I go deeper.

Moreover, I did notice that this woman obviously looked confused when I asked her about Kelly just now.

She’s lying. She doesn’t know Kelly at all.

Abigail pretended to place her entire attention on the mountain as she came to the conclusion that the village was very peculiar in a bad way.

In fact, she could clearly feel a few families peeking at her from inside their houses.

“I wonder if my phone will have a signal in the mountain.” Abigail suddenly turned her head and said to the couple, who were standing by the door and staring at her.

The man immediately said, “Of course, there will be. Otherwise, how do you think we contact the outside world? Don’t worry. Our village isn’t that underdeveloped. We have everything here.”

Once again, Abigail knew he was lying, for her phone had no signal the last time she checked.

Just when she was in a dilemma, a voice belonging to another stranger sounded, interrupting

them.

“Miss, are you going to the upper village?”

Abigail turned around and saw an unfamiliar young man.

“I’m looking for someone.” In truth, she didn’t really want to go. Alás, she couldn’t afford to be frank about it at the moment.

“Now’s not a good time to go. It rained heavily yesterday, and the water in the river at the foothill has yet to recede. Why don’t you come back again in two days?” the young man advised.

Inually, Abigail thought he would offer to take her with him. So, she didn’t expect that he was

helping her to back out of a dangerous situation like this.

“That’s a good idea. I live in the city, so I can easily get here by car. In that case, I’ll come back again in two days. She decided to follow the flow.

The young man nodded and said to her, “Let me walk you to the village’s entrance. I have just returned from school and am going home. It’s on the way.”

Abigail hummed in agreement.

Sensing that something was wrong with the village’s atmosphere, she quickly followed the young man and left.

When they reached the village’s entrance, the young man whispered, “Stay away from this village. It’s not as safe as you think. Since I’m on a mission, I can’t leave.”
