Chapter 212 Pushed to the Brink
Sean sat down beside Abigail.
Cameron came forward and said courteously to Luna, “Let’s give them room to talk.”
Without acknowledging him, Luna got up and headed toward the stairs.
Once they were out of earshot, Sean yanked at his tie and replied, “I want to talk to Grandma. myself. Why does she want us to get a divorce? Doesn’t she like me?”
“Are you implying that just because she likes you, she should forgive your grandmother for what she said to her? Don’t you think you’re being too self-centered?” Abigail’s voice was charged with fury, her eyes welling up and her body trembling.
“After all, she has taken care of me, and it’s only right that I see her and apologize,” Sean replied in a deep, melancholy voice.
Abigail knew that Sean had treated Analise fairly well all this time, even though he didn’t like fter.
Analise deserved an apology, but Abigail knew that an apology couldn’t resolve this situation.
With hatred and disdain in her eyes, Abigail declared, “My grandma has nothing to do with you. anymore! I thought my compromise was for the benefit of both our elders, but it seems it only benefited your grandma! My constant willingness to compromise was nothing but a joke! Nothing. you say or do now will make a difference!” She pondered, I should’ve gotten the divorce a long time ago. If I hadn’t let things drag out this long, nothing of this would’ve happened today.
Sean’s mood was at an all-time low. He knew she wouldn’t be receptive to anything he said now. After a brief silence, he said hoarsely, “Once Grandma wakes up, I’ll confirm things with her. Then, we’ll get a divorce.”
However, he didn’t get a response from her.
Analise’s surgery lasted three hours, but her condition remained unstable. She was wheeled to the intensive care unit, but Abigail was denied entry.
“We can only confirm the patient’s condition when she wakes up. Considering her age, her recovery will depend on various factors,” the doctor in the ICU explained patiently.
Abigail nodded. She was still beside herself with concern.
The Pearsons and the Davidsons also learned about Analise’s condition. When Eric brought Josh and Lynette over, Abigail felt a headache coming on.
Analise would faint from anger once more if she woke up and saw them.
“How’s your grandma?” Eric asked Abigail with concern etched on his face as soon as he saw her.
“She’s in the ICU. The doctor said that even if she wakes up, it doesn’t mean she’s completely out of danger,” Abigail answered..
Sean stood aside, eyeing Josh coldly.
Josh had been standing behind Eric the whole time. Compared to the panicked Lynette and concerned Eric, Josh seemed calmer.
