Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 296

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. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“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.

“This time, you need to find solid proof. You have to make sure of it no matter the cost!” Sean. looked

at Cameron with a dangerous look in his eyes.

If they didn’t investigate and expose the Pearsons for injuring someone at the train station in broad

daylight and make them pay the price, they would likely continue to pose a threat to Abigail due to

Analise’s secret.

Originally, this kind of situation could have been avoided by taking Abigail to the Pearsons with an

explanation in hand and then doing a DNA test. Unfortunately, Analise didn’t want Abigail to return to

the Pearsons, and Abigail refused to believe she had any form of ties with the Pearsons.

The reason Abigail ended up being lost in the water and found by Analise might have been due to

internal conflicts within the Pearsons.

If that was truly the case, would Abigail be able to live a good life when she returned to the Pearsons’

side? That was a hard no. Instead, she would be like a lamb entering the wolf’s dent waiting for

slaughter if she did return. The current situation in the Pearsons was such that only a wolf in sheep’s

clothing would survive.

“Yes!” Cameron replied.

The surgery took four hours. Even so, the doctors barely managed to save Alfie’s life and made sure

everyone knew it. Sean was still worried about the recurrence of the incident. So, he arranged a private

plane to send Abigail and Analise back to Pendorf effective immediately.

Once Analise returned home, she took a bath, ate the takeout, and hit the hay.

Abigail’s thoughts were a complete mess. She couldn’t stop linking Analise’s trip to Capitalis with the

Pearsons.

The reason why she figured that these two matters were related was mainly because the new young

lady of the Pearsons’ had been targeting her. That was the only explanation she could come up with

that could possibly lead to Analise’s sudden trip to Capitalis.

Just as she was trying to parse things out further, Luna came a-calling.

Abigail answered the call and leaned back in her chair while asking in a gentle tone, “What’s going

on?”

“I saw the news! Are you okay? How is Grandma? Were you both scared? Why did you go to Capitalis

out of the blue? If you were planning to go on a trip, you should at least let me know!” Luna was on the

verge of tears.

Abigail let out a deep sigh. “Let’s go to our usual place for a drink. I need your help in sorting things

out.”

“All right.” Luna agreed quickly.

Abigail sat down and sighed softly once she was at the bar.

Luna immediately ordered a cocktail for her and looked at her with concern. “Tell me! It’s all over the

news! Even though they didn’t explicitly mention who it was, I knew right away it was you and

Grandma!”

Abigail rested her chin on her hand and inquired, “Grandma went to Capitalis alone. Thoughts?”

Luna’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped in her astonishment.

After a good while, she stammered. “Did… Did Grandma go to Capitalis on her own? She can’t even

take a cab. How did she get to Capitalis?!”

“You find it quite odd, too, huh? She really did go there. Then, she went missing for almost a day before

she was found unconscious in the train station’s restroom,” Abigail explained slowly.

Luna’s disbelief was gradually replaced with grave concern as she considered the severity of the

matter. “She can’t have possibly been in a train station restroom for a whole day, can she?”

“She’s refusing to tell me just where she went during her disappearance. When I asked her, she only

said that she can’t believe that she lost so much time,” Abigail added. Analise was her grandmother.

So, how could she not see through the fact that Analise was feigning ignorance?

She didn’t know whether Sean had questioned her grandmother. Nonetheless, given Analise’s attitude

toward him, which wasn’t particularly friendly, she doubted Analise would have discussed such matters

with him, who was an outsider to her.
