Chapter 640 Unable to Sleep
As soon as the words were spoken, the doctor on duty approached and reminded them, “Please keep your voices down at night.”
“Okay, doctor. We’ll go into the ward,” Lawrence said as he hugged Abigail and led her inside.
As Abigail entered, she looked at Sean with teary eyes.
Lawrence approached Sean and touched his face, feeling the heat radiating from it.
“Go to sleep, Abby. You need to take care of him when you’re in good health, hmm?” Scarlett persuaded Abigail. She knew that neither she nor Lawrence could take care of Sean for a long time, and Abigail wouldn’t allow it.
Abigail was naturally stubborn. Scan probably had no other way to recover except with her personal care, especially considering Luna’s condition.
Abigail was indeed very tired. Her parents coaxed her to lie down, and she soon fell asleep.
Lawrence and Scarlett closed the ward door and moved away a bit, sighing in unison.
“Finding a reputable traditional medicine doctor might be more reliable. I remember there is a well- known traditional medicine doctor in Kelra. I’ll inquire about him later,” Scarlett whispered to
Lawrence.
Lawrence frowned and said, “That famous traditional medicine doctor in Kelra has a close relationship with Molly Watts from the Davidson Family. If we go to him, he will probably inform Molly. Then, we won’t be able to get treatment for Sean.”
“If that’s the case, let’s put Vincent aside. The child’s life is more important. We don’t need to think too much about our decision. As long as he can save Sean, the Pearsons can do whatever they want,” Scarlett said gently.
They already owed Abigail a lot. It would be too cruel to let her watch Sean’s health deteriorate until he was completely exhausted.
“You’re right. Even if we have to beg on our knees, I will do it to save Sean.” Lawrence nodded.
If Molly used sparing Vincent as a threat, they would also make concessions.
They could give up the house and the shares. Sean’s life was the most important thing.
Meanwhile, Abigail couldn’t sleep at all. Sean’s occasional unconscious cough made her tremble with fear.
After daybreak, she still couldn’t fall asleep. Even during the most difficult times at work back then, she had never experienced insomnia like this.
Looking at Sean lying in bed, she did not feel a hint of sleepiness. Her heart was filled with unprecedented confusion and pain.
1/3
Lawrence and Scarlett came in with breakfast and saw Abigail sitting by the bedside, looking exhausted. They both felt distressed.
“Abby, have breakfast first,” Scarlett said.
Abigail looked up and glanced at the sky outside, her voice hoarse as she asked Scarlett, “Mom, what time is it?”
“It’s 7:30 a.m., Scarlett walked towards her, concern evident in her eyes.
Abigail rubbed her face with her hand and stood up silently, making her way to the bathroom.
