Chapter 296 The Child Rescued from the Water
Analise still didn’t say anything.
She had initially arrived at an accord with Molly, thinking that everything would be fine from now on. She believed that the young lady from the Pearsons wouldn’t bother Abigail anymore and that it meant that Abigail would live happily in Pendorf from now on.
Yet, Alfie getting stabbed publicly made her realize she had been a naive fool.
The Pearsons could easily act one way on the surface and do something completely different behind the scenes.
If Abigail lost her life today, what purpose did it serve to expose the secret she had been protecting for so long?
She had always hoped that Abigail would remain by her side, completely worry-free.
Sean, can you please not tell Abigail anything about this? I don’t want to lose her… She’s the one I watched grow up, and her life has been filled with nothing but hardship. I don’t want her to suffer… Analise looked at Sean with tearful eyes.
At this point, any doubts or suspicions he had been harboring were confirmed. How could he not understand what she was implying?
“Grandma, I understand.” He held her hand.
“Abigail doesn’t remember anything because I rescued her from drowning. Her brain was injured, causing her memories to be in disarray. At the time, I thought that was more than fine. She won’t have to remember those painful things. She has loved ones and her loving grandparents,” Analise spoke as she gripped Sean’s hand tightly. She had even started crying silent tears toward the end. of her sentence.
“Yes. She is very fortunate to have you. You love her just as much as she loves you.” Sean patted Analise’s back.
The older one got, the more one feared losing what they had.
Sean understood her feelings very well. She had lost her lifelong partner, and now she only had Abigail. If Abigail were to leave her… What else would she have left?
By the time Abigail returned, Sean and Analise had finished their conversation.
Analise’s had experienced one too many roller coasters today. So, she looked worn out as she leaned against the chair.
“You two can go downstairs to the car and have your meal. I’ll keep an eye on things here,” Sean

said to Abigail, who was carrying their food.
Abigail nodded and handed him a takeout container. Then, she gently led the somewhat weary Analise away.
She could see that Analise was too tired to argue, which was why she listened to Sean. Otherwise, she would have stayed here and waited for Alfie.
Cameron arrived shortly thereafter.
Sean hadn’t eaten and was sitting on a chair with a stern expression as he looked at the door to the emergency room.
“Mr. Graham,” Cameron approached him and said quietly.
