Chapter 212 Pushed to the Brink
Sean sat down beside Abigail.
Cameron came forward and said courteously to Luna, “Let’s give them room to talk.”
Without acknowledging him, Luna got up and headed toward the stairs.
Once they were out of earshot, Sean yanked at his tie and replied, “I want to talk to Grandma. myself. Why does she want us to get a divorce? Doesn’t she like me?”
“Are you implying that just because she likes you, she should forgive your grandmother for what she said to her? Don’t you think you’re being too self-centered?” Abigail’s voice was charged with fury, her eyes welling up and her b*dy trembling.
“After all, she has taken care of me, and it’s only right that I see her and apologize,” Sean replied in a deep, melancholy voice.
Abigail knew that Sean had treated Analise fairly well all this time, even though he didn’t like fter.
Analise deserved an apology, but Abigail knew that an apology couldn’t resolve this situation.
With hatred and disdain in her eyes, Abigail declared, “My grandma has nothing to do with you. anymore! I thought my compromise was for the benefit of both our elders, but it seems it only benefited your grandma! My constant willingness to compromise was nothing but a joke! Nothing. you say or do now will make a difference!” She pondered, I should’ve gotten the divorce a long time ago. If I hadn’t let things drag out this long, nothing of this would’ve happened today.
Sean’s mood was at an all-time low. He knew she wouldn’t be receptive to anything he said now. After a brief silence, he said hoarsely, “Once Grandma wakes up, I’ll confirm things with her. Then, we’ll get a divorce.”
However, he didn’t get a response from her.
Analise’s surgery lasted three hours, but her condition remained unstable. She was wheeled to the intensive care unit, but Abigail was denied entry.
“We can only confirm the patient’s condition when she wakes up. Considering her age, her recovery will depend on various factors,” the doctor in the ICU explained patiently.
Abigail nodded. She was still beside herself with concern.
The Pearsons and the Davidsons also learned about Analise’s condition. When Eric brought Josh and Lynette over, Abigail felt a headache coming on.
Analise would faint from anger once more if she woke up and saw them.
“How’s your grandma?” Eric asked Abigail with concern etched on his face as soon as he saw her.
“She’s in the ICU. The doctor said that even if she wakes up, it doesn’t mean she’s completely out of danger,” Abigail answered..
Sean stood aside, eyeing Josh coldly.
Josh had been standing behind Eric the whole time. Compared to the panicked Lynette and concerned Eric, Josh seemed calmer.
“Everything will be fine,” Eric comforted Abigail. “You’re her only granddaughter. I’m sure she won’t leave you behind like that.
She felt a bit better hearing his comforting words. Thank you.”
In the meantime, Sean was irritated to see Eric and Abigail engaged in conversation.
“You’ve been here for many hours, Abby. I heard you haven’t eaten since you came to the hospital. Why not have lunch with Josh and Eric? I’ll stay here and help you keep an eye on things,” Lynette offered caringly after squeezing in beside Abigail.
“I’ll just order some food later.” Abigail didn’t feel good about leaving Lynette alone here. Moreover, she would be even more anxious if Lynette stayed with Analise. After all, she didn’t understand Lynette enough to know whether or not she could be trusted.
“Abby, I think a walk would be good for you. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Who will take care of your grandma if you tire yourself out?” Lynette had a knack for saying the right things.
“It’s just lunch. We’ll come right back afterward,” Eric added.
Sean was about to speak when he heard Josh say, “Let’s have a chat, Mr. Graham.”
This caught Abigail’s attention, and she glanced at them.
Sean replied coldly, “I have nothing to say to you. I’ve asked Cameron to buy lunch for her, so you need not be concerned about that.”
Based on Cameron’s information, Sean did not think Josh was worthy of Abigail’s trust.
In an amused tone, Eric asked, “What’s the matter? Can’t her friends express their concern for
her?”
Abigail suddenly turned to Eric, saying, “Let’s go eat.”
Eric lit up with joy and nodded swiftly. “Sure. Let’s go.”
A frown appeared on Sean’s face, but before he could voice his thoughts, Abigail told him. “You
and Cameron can have a meal together, Sean.” With that, she turned and left.
After a glance at Sean, Eric followed her.
Josh eyed Sean coldly. Once Abigail and Eric were out of earshot, Josh said curtly, “Previously, all Abby had was her grandma, but that won’t be the case anymore.”
Sean didn’t respond. He continued to stare in the direction where Abigail had gone.
When Josh thought Sean wouldn’t respond, Sean abruptly asked, “Does Eric have feelings for Abby?”
Lynette looked at Sean with detest in her eyes and grumbled, “Does Abby not deserve to be liked by someone? Does she only deserve to suffer at your hands?”
