Chapter 372 Rubbing Salt in the Wound
That night, Abigail showed up at the hospital with some expensive gifts. However, she didn’t head directly to Colby’s ward. Instead, she told the nurses to inform Lina about her presence first. Soon enough, both Lina and Kelly showed up together. “What are you guys doing here?” Lina questioned harshly the moment she saw Abigail.
“I think they’re here to apologize, Kelly muttered softly. Lina took one glance at the gifts and hampers in Abigail and Analise’s hands before she let out a scoff. I’m sure you guys drugged some of the food inside. You guys are trying to poison all of us, aren’t you? Us Grahams aren’t taking any gifts from you guys. We don’t want to die in your hands!” Lina hissed.
Abigail remained silent, and Analise held onto Abigail’s hand while keeping her lips sealed as well. Their silence seemed to trigger Lina even more. “I’m warning you guys now-you guys should stop putting on an act! You’re trying to use these gifts to please us, just so that you can continue. latching onto Sean and sucking all his money out of him. There’s no way I’m letting you do that!” Lina raised her voice.
“What are you talking about?” Sean’s voice sounded from a distance. When Kelly saw Sean, her face instantly lit up with joy. “You’re back!” Her warm and intimate tone made her sound as if she was speaking to her husband.
However, Sean simply ignored Kelly and stared at Lina instead. “I was the one who told them to visit Grandpa,” he said. Lina seemed rather embarrassed by her actions at that moment. Meanwhile, Abigail simply held onto her grandmother’s hand without saying anything. “Why should they visit?! They’re the ones who brought upon all this trouble!” Lina mumbled under her
breath.
Sean knew that Abigail felt bad after what happened with Colby, so he turned around to speak to her. “You guys should go take a look at him. He’s in a decent condition today, and he’s able to speak now.”
“Alright,” Analise replied before she led Abigail toward Colby’s ward. Lina, on the other hand, let out a scoff before she followed behind them with a resentful expression on her face. “I told them to visit Grandpa. Why are you tagging along?” Sean stopped her.
“Aren’t you worried that-”
“They didn’t do it intentionally, Grandma, so you shouldn’t put all the blame on them. The Graham Family is a wealthy household-we’re not demanding and irrational thugs.” There was a hint of impatience in Sean’s tone. Even though he was disappointed in Abigail, he still didn’t like it when his grandmother acted that way.
Lina looked like she had more to say, but Kelly stopped her in time. “Mr. Quinn is right. You shouldn’t injure their pride like that, Grandma. There’s no conclusion for this incident yet.” For some reason, Kelly’s words managed to keep Lina silent. Sean shot them another icy glare before he strode along the hospital corridor to find a couch where he could rest.

When Analise showed up in Colby’s ward with tears in her eyes, Colby beamed at her. “It’s fine.” Abigail placed the gifts down. She had a lot of questions in her mind, but Colby didn’t give her a chance to voice them. “I think I’m out of water, Abigail. Could you help me grab two bottles of the more expensive brand of water?”
“Sure.” Abigail replied without hesitation. She figured that he wanted to be careful with the water he consumed since his stomach was probably weak after he got it pumped. Once Abigail left the room, Colby turned to look at Analise. “I’m sorry that you had to suffer.”
