Chapter 99 Provocation
As soon as Abigail picked up the phone, she was met with Cornelie’s accusations.
“What on earth happened with you? I went through a lot of trouble to find a traditional medicine practitioner for you, and now, look at what you’ve done! Sean scolded me!” Cornelie’s voice seethed
with anger.
“Grandma, Sean saw the situation yesterday. If you think I’m faking it, you can ask him to have the doctor explain it to you,” Abigail responded.
“Don’t give me excuses! I was trying to help you get pregnant. What did you do? You pulled some petty tricks behind my back! If you’re really incapable, just divorce Sean yourself!” Cornelie finished her rant and promptly hung up.
Abigail put down her phone and took a deep breath.
Luna, who had been listening nearby, was furious. Her face turned red, and her neck veins bulged. “What does she mean? She’s blaming you for not being able to have children? Who does she think
Sean is? Who would want to have a child for him? Why is she scolding you?”
“I’m not even angry, so why are you?” Abigail calmly comforted Luna.
Luna clenched her teeth and muttered angrily, “The old woman is being completely unreasonable.
She doesn’t even understand her own grandson! Dang it!”
Abigail quickly patted Luna’s back. “Calm down. Let’s go have breakfast.”
Luna held Abigail’s hand, still seething with anger, and demanded, “What happened yesterday
when you went out? What does she mean by ‘look at what you’ve done“?”
Abigail sighed. “It’s a bit complicated. Let’s talk about it after breakfast.”
“I’m too angry to eat,” Luna huffed.
In the dining hall, when Abigail saw Joan, she immediately thought of the medicine practitioner with the surname “Palmer” from yesterday.
Uncertain if the two were connected, Abigail sat beside Luna and handed her the cutlery.
Joan spotted Abigail and sweetly inquired, “How’s your leg? What were you up to yesterday?”
Due to Sean, Luna quickly redirected her anger toward Joan. “Are you two very close? Does Abigail have to report everything she does to you?”
The live camera quickly shifted toward them.
Abigail arranged the utensils for Luna and gently said, “Miss Smith, please have breakfast.”
Luna leaned back in her chair, gave a forced smile, glanced at the bewildered Joan, and then lowered her gaze to start eating breakfast.
Joan quickly wore a pitiful expression. She sniffled and said, “Luna, have I offended you?”
