Chapter 197 No Longer Her Sole Focus
“Thank Josh for me.” Abigail smiled.
“This is a gift from Josh. Carry it with you for safety Lynette handed a square wooden box to Abigail.
Abigail thanked her again. It turned out that she had managed to form her own circle of friends unbeknownst to her.
For the past three years, her life had revolved around Sean. However, now he was no longer her
sole focus.
Eric pulled Lynette behind him by the collar and stepped forward, asking concernedly, “What happened? How are you feeling?”
“I’m fine, but things are a little complicated and hard to explain,” she replied.
heard that things like this happen a lot. Even some tourists who go to Cloudgrove for vacation would get scammed by cab drivers and trafficked abroad. Anyway, you have to be careful when going out.” Lynette chimed in.
Indeed, Abigail had seen such news while browsing through social media. Many people who went in search of jobs were deceived to head abroad but couldn’t return. Nonetheless, she had no intention of revealing her own situation.
“Strangely, you were brought to Cloudgrove from Quisford,” Eric remarked with a frown.
“It’s still under investigation. Besides, I’m fine now,” Abigail explained to Eric.
Eric looked at Abigail and asked, “Actually, Josh found it strange when you didn’t return to the hotel the next day. He and Lynette went to the hotel you stayed at and discovered that you never returned. Did the cab driver kidnap you?”
Lynette didn’t expect that he would be so honest with Abigail, so she nudged him. “What happened to keeping things on the down low?!”
Abigail looked at them with a puzzled expression.
“Miss Quinn, can you tell us in detail about what happened? Perhaps the Davidson and Pearson. Families can help you.” Eric ignored Lynette and asked Abigail with a serious expression.
Lynette pursed her l*ps, silently reprimanding Eric for being unable to keep a secret.
“If you put it that way… Do you still think I’m the child the Pearson Family lost?” Abigail asked gently.
“First and foremost, we are also friends. You don’t have the ability to find out the truth, but we do.” Eric stared fixedly at Abigail, anticipating her answer.
“Even if I accept your help, I can’t possibly be the Pearson Family’s lost child. I know they might be anxious… but I’m not.” Abigail couldn’t deny that her grandparents treated her well and. couldn’t find it in herself to accept the fact that she wasn’t the Quinn Family’s child.
Moreover, judging by how much they loved her, they would certainly tell her the truth if she were not their grandchild.
“I understand. I’m just trying to help you find the source of danger,” Eric replied hastily.
“Thank you.” Then, Abigail told them what happened that day and repeated what happened next, including the fact that Luna was being watched.
“About that, can you help me dig into someone?” Abigail whispered to Eric.
Lynette quickly leaned forward. “Who is it?”
Joan Palmer. I want to know about her background”
To tell the truth, Joan was the only person Abigail suspected. Since Sean couldn’t find out who that doctor was, it meant the other party was unwilling to reveal their identity. Besides that, she had an intuition that this matter had to be connected to Joan.
“Sure.” Eric immediately nodded in agreement.
Once the two came out from the ward, Lynette put on a stern expression and asked unhappily, “Joan Palmer. Is she Abby’s husband’s mistress?”
“Keep your voice down… Abby still doesn’t know that we already know everything about that woman,” Eric softly reminded Lynette.
“Joan Palmer, right? How dare she steal Abby’s husband? See that I don’t rip her to shreds!” Lynette’s charming face was twisted with hatred.
“Don’t rush to teach her a lesson yet. You have to follow up on Lexie’s side first,” Eric said before leaving.
Once they left, Cameron appeared from the corner and watched them leave while calling Sean.
“What’s the matter?” Sean’s cold voice came from the phone.
“Lynette Pearson from the Pearson Family and Eric Davidson came to visit Mrs. Graham. They say they know everything about Mrs. Graham. Should I investigate them?” Cameron sounded very respectful.
“Including the fact that she and I are married?” Sean’s tone became serious. If Eric had long since
known Abigail was married, why would he hate me so much? Is it because he wants to intervene in our marriage?
“It seems like it. Lynette said she wanted to teach Joan a lesson and stand up for Mrs. Graham,” Cameron replied.
Sean pondered for a moment and asked, “Why are the Pearsons getting involved in this?”
Cameron also found that strange. It would be normal for Eric to find out everything about Abigail because he liked her. Still, the Pearsons wouldn’t get involved in this matter because they supported Eric’s decision to intervene in Abigail’s marriage, right?
“Look into the Pearson Family.” Sean hung up after giving that order.
That night, Sean returned to Ouisford to pack up the things Abigail left in the hotel and brought them back.
He arrived at the hospital late at night.
She looked at him wearily as he brought in the luggage and a few wooden boxes.
“What did you buy?” Sean was curious but hadn’t opened any of the boxes on the way.
Abigail held her hand out, looking at him playing with the box containing the antique puzzle ball. “Give me the one you’re holding.”
Sean threw it to her. “Come clean. Who is this gift for? Some man you fancy?”
