Chapter 516 Temporary Deception
Abigail gently patted Luna’s back, offering her comfort. “It’s okay; you’re back now.”
Luna continued to cry, expressing her distress. “Our world is too safe. You have no idea how chaotic it is outside!” She sobbed uncontrollably.
“You’re back home now,” Abigail murmured softly.
Suddenly, Luna pushed her away and anxiously asked, “Has Sean come back yet?”
“Not yet. He’s still in the hospital and he’s injured. They say Xavien’s condition is more. serious, so they have to stay there for a while,” Abigail explained with a rea*suring smile.
Cameron had provided her with this information.
She hadn’t been able to contact Sean recently, mainly because she couldn’t reach him. Both Cameron and Alfie had gone to that area. Cameron confirmed that everything was okay. before calling her.
“But the medical conditions there are not very good…” Luna expressed her skepticism.
“Yes, that’s true. However, Sean said he needs to negotiate with the other party about the place where you stayed with him. There are things we don’t understand, so focus on recovering. You’ll be fine,” Abigail rea*sured her.
Luna nodded and then noticed Josh standing nearby.
“Look at what your sister did!” She glared at Josh angrily.
“She’s not my sister. She’s been arrested and we don’t even know where she’s being held,” Josh replied in frustration.
“This woman is too vicious. She didn’t come from an ordinary background. The Pearsons. must be remarkable to attract someone like her. What kind of immense benefits could be at stake?” Luna asked Josh.
From her experience in that place, she could tell that those people weren’t making just a few million; they were making billions.
The more lawless a place was, the more money could be made without consequences.
That was why Kelly had been arrested without any news leaking.
However, based on the news reports, Abigail speculated that the authorities and Sean had been monitoring Kelly for a long time. On the day of her arrest, they had set up an ironclad

trap to catch her.
Because she was a unique criminal, they couldn’t release too much information about her.
After hearing Luna’s question, Josh thought about it seriously for a moment.
“If we consider that she was after the Davidson Family’s power, it doesn’t seem to make sense. especially since she wanted to marry Sean, Josh said to Luna.
“Now that you’re back, don’t get involved in all of this. I’m afraid you might get into trouble. again. This time. Sean personally went to rescue you, but what if he hadn’t made it in time? People from these places can be quite ruthless, you know?” Abigail advised Luna.
It was precisely because Luna wanted to expose Kelly’s fake identity that she was sent to the Golden Triangle in just a few days.
If she continued to investigate further, who knew where she might be sent next time?
“You’re right. From now on, I’m going to cherish life!” Luna, having narrowly escaped death, had a different outlook on life at the moment.
In the future, she felt that she wouldn’t even get angry.
After all, she had experienced something so significant.
Josh looked at her and asked, “Are you ready to eat?”
“Yes. I want to have lots of delicious food.” Luna extended her hands toward Josh.
Josh immediately moved closer to hug her.
She nestled against his ch*st in a very sweet manner, and her arms were wrapped around his waist as she whispered, “Actually, I really missed you back then. I thought about you day and night, wishing you could have appeared immediately to take me away.”
“Sean didn’t inform me when you got into trouble.” Josh expressed some guilt..
He regretted not rescuing her.
Abigail then left them to it. She quietly left the ward and closed the door.
She sat in a chair in the hospital corridor and held her phone while staring blankly at a message sent by Cameron three days ago.
Sean and Xavien had been secretly transported to Donchester.

Even in an advanced medical country like Donchester, Xavien was still in critical condition due to severe blood loss, while Sean’s situation wasn’t much better.
It had been ten days, and Sean remained unconscious. Xavien’s condition had stabilized after he had gone into shock due to excessive blood loss.
Cameron visited every day, but each time, he left disappointed.
Alfie said in a hushed tone, “If Mr. Graham doesn’t wake up soon, Old Mr. Graham might take over the business.”
“Is he unwilling to wake up, or is his health deteriorating beyond repair?” Cameron expressed his anxiety.
Sean had experienced two significant injuries in a short time, resulting in severe damage to his internal organs. His resilience in holding on this long was nothing short of a miracle.
The only thing was that he couldn’t wake up.
“I’m wondering if we should bring Ms. Quinn here?” Alfie asked Cameron.
“Mr. Graham wouldn’t want her to come. If you want him to wake up and scold you, you can tell Abigail the truth. What’s more… If he doesn’t wake up, what should we do?” Cameron’s primary concern was the latter.
Sean loved Abigail deeply, and he didn’t want her to live in misery for the rest of her life.
In their current state of urgency, Sean’s phone suddenly rang.
Cameron quickly took the phone and saw that it was a video call from Abigail. He was in a dilemma.
“What should we do? It feels like we can’t keep hiding the truth!” Cameron muttered.
“Let’s try to deceive her for now. I’ll find someone to create a more realistic digital image of Mr. Graham, and then I’ll use a voice changer to impersonate him!” Alfie suggested decisively.
“All right!”
Cameron told Abigail that Sean was resting after working too hard for several days and would call her back later.
On the other end of the line, Abigail felt a bit down, but she eventually said, “Never mind; let him rest. There’s no need to tell him now. We’ll meet when he returns eventually.”
Cameron sighed and stated, “Ms. Quinn, during the time your grandmother was kidnapped,

Mr. Graham arranged for us to rescue her. However, Xavien had a car accident on the way, so
Mr. Graham didn’t make it to the scene. Instead, Josh took advantage of the situation.”
