Chapter 131 Meeting Anthony Again
Abigail did not wait for Sean. When he left the ward after comforting Cornelie, only Kevin and Joan
remained in the corridor. The moment she saw Sean, she approached him with concern and asked,
“How is Grandma?”
His gaze lacked warmth, but his tone remained as usual. “She’s fine. But from now on, you’re not
allowed to have any contact with her.”
At his words, she felt a bit aggrieved. “Sean, Grandma is getting older, and she might need someone to talk to. I was just keeping her company.” As soon as she spoke, he began staring at her. She felt a
little uneasy under his scrutinizing gaze, so she bit her lip and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Meanwhile, standing not far away, Kevin watched the scene unfold with interest.
“I don’t like people who cross boundaries,” he said calmly.
At that, she gulped down her saliva and whispered, “Okay.”
“As long as you follow the rules, I’ll give you whatever you want. Understand?” Sean straightened his
sleeves.
“Yes.” She nodded.
When Sean gave Kevin a look, he immediately understood. “Miss Palmer, let me take you back. You
have filming tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Joan nodded.
Sean took out his phone and sent a message to Abigail. ‘Do you not care about my grandmother at
all now?’
She was in a car on her way to meet the authoritative professor recommended by Lewis, so she had no time to deal with Cornelie’s act. ‘Something important came up. She just needs you to stay with
her!’
When he received her message, he furrowed his brows and leaned against the wall as he typed
slowly. ‘Did Anthony ask for you?’
Seeing his message, she rolled her eyes. She wanted to ignore him, but she explained anyway. ‘No. I need to meet a professor on behalf of my boss.’
Sean looked at her message, lost in thought. Why is she so reluctant to tell me her true identity?
Meanwhile, Kevin and Joan got into the car. Just as he started the engine, he heard her ask, “Abigail and Sean are cousins, right? No wonder he did her such a big favor on the show and protected her.”
He was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his composure, smiling as he replied, “Don’t inquire about his matters privately. Even if you ask me, I wouldn’t dare answer. You know his personality.”
“I’m just saying.” She leaned back in her seat, looking relaxed,
Through the rearview mirror, he glanced at her and asked, “Why do you think they’re cousins?”
