Chapter 496 Afraid I’ll Never See You Again
Sean fell silent for a moment before saying, “I feel like she’s been acting strangely lately. I’m worried she might be doing something behind our backs that could put her in danger, so I had Xavien take a look.”
Abigail was a bit surprised by Sean’s response. She didn’t know how to respond for a moment. After a while, she said, “Thank you. I’ll call her and check. I talked to her last night, so there shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Just to be safe, ask again,” Sean said. “I also had Xavien go to her neighbor to ask about the police report.”
Just as Abigail was about to hang up, Sean added, “Don’t call immediately. Wait a bit, find a suitable excuse to call, and make it seem natural.”
“Sean, is there something you’re worried she might encounter? Is that why you’re being so cautious?” Abigail couldn’t help but ask.
“If we assume she’s facing danger, then it’s even more important for us to act like we know nothing. But if she isn’t, it won’t hurt. Does that make sense?” Sean comforted Abigail. He was afraid she might rush back to see Luna without keeping her cool.
“You’re right, but your words are making me nervous,” Abigail admitted, unable to control her anxious thoughts.
Just as Sean was about to respond, it seemed like someone was talking to him. He replied at few sentences before turning back to Abigail. “Nothing’s wrong. Xavien said Luna went out to get takeout.”
“Oh, that’s good,” Abigail sighed with relief.
“But Xavien mentioned that she slipped in the bathroom last night and seemed to have hurt. her leg. She didn’t tell you?” Sean asked, feigning casualness.
“No, she probably didn’t want to worry me,” Abigail replied. When she sensed someone approaching her, she continued, “Thank you for letting me know all this. I’m a bit busy right
now.”
She hung up the phone, her mind still on Luna’s leg injury.
After Sean ended the call, he told Xavien, “Find Cameron, keep Abigail busy, and make sure she doesn’t call Luna to ask about her leg. Make sure Cameron accomplishes this. Otherwise, he can forget about ever returning to my side!”
“Yes!” Xavien quickly went to make the call.

Luna had slipped in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Her loud cries of pain woke up the neighbors, but they hadn’t called an ambulance…
Abigail was busy until it was almost lunchtime. She was just about to call Luna when Alfie hurriedly came in.
“Cameron’s good eye seems to be having a problem. Can you go take a look? I have something to attend to today and might not be able to take care of him for a while.” Alfie’s tone was urgent, almost exaggerated.
Abigail couldn’t help but frown. “Tell the doctor I’ll see him after I’ve finished eating.”
“You need to go now; he’s afraid he might lose his eyesight and never see you again.” Alfie’s excuse was terrible.
Even so, Abigail still agreed to go with him.
As soon as Alfie saw her pick up her phone, he got nervous.
“Um, do you have an urgent matter?” he asked, deliberately probing.
“It’s nothing important. I’m just calling a friend,” Abigail answered.
