Chapter 425 No More Courtesy
Abigail did not respond to Sean, but he was not disheartened by his failed attempt to show his goodwill. After all, he had plenty of time.
He stayed with her for a while until Cameron barged in in such haste that Abigail could not ignore his presence.
“What’s the rush?” Sean looked up from his laptop screen at Cameron.
Cameron gave him a meaningful look, indicating that they should talk outside. Sean glanced at Abigail and then got up. Though she was a bit curious, in the end, she did not ask anything. Instead, she continued to lower her gaze and work on her design drawing.
After the two men arrived outside the ward, Sean asked with a frown, “What is it?”
“Old Mrs. Graham sneaked in on an early flight this morning. She was picked up by Kelly and hasn’t left the Pearson Residence since, Cameron whispered.
Immediately, anger flared up on Sean’s face. “What’s Xavien doing? Why did you wait until now to tell me such an important matter?!” He snapped and walked away without looking back.
Cameron stood in place for a moment, hesitated, and then went to inform Abigail in her ward. “Ms. Quinn, Mr. Graham has some last-minute matters to attend to. He’s left his laptop here, and he’ll come to pick it up later. I’ll inform the nurses to look after you.” He stood by the door, smiling.
“No need to bother the nurses, she replied politely. I’m working on a design drawing, and it’s inconvenient with the nurses around.”
“Oh, okay, alright!” he said and promptly closed the door before catching up with Sean.
Abigail gazed at the closed door for a while before turning her attention back to her work.
Just as Sean and Cameron left the hospital and drove away, Kelly and Lina stepped out of an inconspicuous car. “See, I didn’t lie. He’s been with Abigail here in Capitalis all along.” Kelly told Lina as they got out of the car.
Lina closed the car door, her expression stern, restraining her anger. “Let’s go find her.
“You go; I can’t show my face. Otherwise, Abigail will say I instigated this. I’ll wait here for you,” Kelly spoke softly to her. “You must talk to her nicely. Otherwise, Sean will be angry with you again.”
To that, Lina gave a noncommittal hum.

In the meantime, Abigail was deeply engrossed in her drawing. When the door to her ward was pushed open, she did not pay any attention, a*suming it was a nurse coming to change her IV. It was not until the person who entered approached her and forcefully snatched the tablet from her hand that she realized the situation.
When she lifted her gaze, Lina had already viciously smashed her tablet to the ground, splitting it into two pieces.
Abigail had not saved her design drawing yet, and now, her device was shattered. She did not know if the work she had done that day was lost.
“What, you couldn’t seduce Sean right under my nose, so you came to Capitalis? You thought that once you left Pendorf, I wouldn’t be able to find you?” Lina stood by the bed, glaring at Abigail, speaking with malice.
Abigail withdrew her gaze from the broken tablet and looked at Lina. After a moment of silence, she sat up on the bed and shoved Lina away, unable to bear it any longer.
Lina stumbled back a couple of steps, and in her shock, her anger escalated. She turned, saw a computer on the nearby table, a*sumed it belonged to Abigail, and violently smashed it on the ground. Then, she grabbed a cup from the table and used it to strike at her.
“Why are you such a b*tch?! You tried to seduce Sean over and over again, and when you were afraid I’d find out in Pendorf, you came to Capitalis. You even deceived him into coming here. Have you no shame?!” She spewed obscenities.
Abigail’s bedsheet was wet from the

The commotion in the hospital room quickly attracted the attention of the doctors. The head nurse restrained Lina, and the needle Abigail was using had been forcibly pulled from her hand by Lina, causing her hand to bleed. The accompanying nurse promptly disinfected her hand and applied a hemostatic agent.
Let go of me! Do you know who my grandson is? I have a heart condition, and I’m telling you, if something happens to me, my grandson won’t let you off!” Lina struggled vigorously.
The head nurse was somewhat concerned and immediately tried to pacify her. “Why can’t we discuss matters calmly? She is a patient, and a patient’s rest is crucial. This is a hospital, and your loud shouting is disturbing the rest of the other patients.”
“Calmly discuss? Let me tell you, this woman is a homewrecker. My grandson already has a fiancée, yet she lures him to the hospital every day to take care of her. A woman like her should be despised and publicly humiliated!” Lina shouted,
Acrow of patients had gathered at the door of the hospital room, watching the serve

Abigail stared coldly at her. “Dare you tell me who your grandson’s fiancée is? I’m telling you, there are surveillance cameras in this room. If you insult me, I will consider it evidence to sue you. Even if your grandson is a big shot, I won’t let you get away this time. And by the way, you’ll have to compensate me for my tablet, which contains design drawings worth thousands of dollars.” At that, she picked up her phone and called Sean.
Seeing that, Lina tried to grab her phone but was once again restrained by the head nurse. “Let’s all be civil!”
